Racing to These Islands.
Two af the fastest vessels in the SUI
gar fleet are now racing to the Hawaii
an Islands. When they left San
Francisco on the 9Th instant there
was not a hundred yards between
them, and when last seen welk down
on the horizon, neither had any appar-
ent advantage
The bark Roderick Dhu is bound for
Hilo, and the barkentine S. G. Wilder
for Honolulu The former went into
the stream early In the day, out 1t was
not until 3 p. m. that the tug Defiance
took hold of her. Just about the same
time the tug Reliance moved out with
the Wilder in tow and proceeded to
sea. Both towboats cast off their lows
about the same time, and five minutes
later both the "wind-jammers" had
laid their courses for these Islands.
Long before the tugs let go both yes
sells had considerable canvas set, and
it did not take long to pack on the rest
of the sail Captains Johnson and
Jackson have wagered a dinner on the
race, and there is considerable specu-
lation on the result. This is the best
season of the year for fast time, and
as both vessels are clippers, ten days
should see them in their respective
ports.
