--s, NEW STEAMER COMING.
The first of three steamers built
witiSjn the past year at CRAMPS ship
yard, Philadelphia, for the Oceanic
Steamship Company, sailed from Phila-
delphia for San Francisco OF the 18th.
She is said to be a flyer, and some en-
thusiatic admirers claim that she will
make the trip, via the Straits Of Ma
gellan, in thirty-five days. The best
time ever made by a steamer on that
voyage was forty-five days. The favor
lite steamer Alameda, which has been
running with such wonderful regularity
on the Australian route for many years,
covered the distance in that time She
was built at the same yard, as was
also the Mariposa, which has been her
companion in the same trade. 1t is
claimed that this is the best time ever
made. The German steamer Bosnia ar
rived at San Francisco last month in a
trip of forty-seven days from Phila-
delphia.
The names of these new steamers are
the Sierra, Sonoma and Ventura, and
all are of the same size and pattern,
being of 5000 tons each, with twin
screws, 425 feet in length, so feet beam,
and with engines of 5000 horsepower.
They will each have accommodations
for 240 first-class passengers, 100 sec
ond-class and 100 steerage. The steam
ers were all built under navaf-regula-
tons and will be convertible into aux
iliary cruisers on thirty-six hours no.
mails. The steamers were launched in
the order named, the first-named some
months ago, followed later ON by the
Sonoma, while the Ventura slid off the
ways on September 26th. 1t was ex-
pected to inaugurate the service on No
vember 1st from San Francisco, but
some changes made in the Sierra after
she was launched delayed her departure
until the 18th, whereas 1t was original
ly intended that she should be here by
September LIST. These steamers are
guaranteed to make IL knots an hour
The contract calls for a marked reduc-
ton in the time between San Francisco
and Honolulu, and San Francisco and
Sydney. 1t is possible that these trips
may be made in sig days to the islands
and twenty days to the Colonies.
The addition of these steamers gives
the Oceanic Steamship Company a fine
and fast fleet, consisting of eight first
class vessels, as follows: Sierra, 5000
tons; Sonoma, 5000 tons; Ventura, 5000
tons; Mariposa, 5000 tons; Alameda,
5000 tons; Australia, 1900 tons; Zealan-
dia, 5000 tons. The tugboats belonging
to this line are the Fearless, Relief, Re-
the L. Luckenbach
J. d. Spreckels is in the East hasten
ing the dispatch of the Sonoma and
Ventura. The Sonoma will not leave
Philadelphia in time to fill her schedule
and the Mariposa will probably take
her place for December IL. This will
make the sailing of the Sonoma jan
uary and the Ventura January &c.
