STEAMSHIP RACE
At SEA IS A DRAW
TreScO and Mohican Reach Phila
delphia Together.

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. Gan excit-
ing race between two British steam
ships. the Tresco and the Mohican. which
began at Sandy Hook. has just ended at
| this port in victory for neither. The
two vessels came in without a minute )
| difference between them.
The Mohican, In command of Captain
Evans. was the first to leave New York
Twenty minutes later the Tesco. with
Captain Barber on deck, weighed anchor
and steamed away in the wake Of the
Mohican. 1t was not until the latter
was well past Sandy Hook that the
Tresco sighted her, and then began a
race that, as far as the rival crews were
concerned was as exciting as any that
was ever contested for a cup.
Down the coast, through heavy head
seas and shipping water at every plunge,
the two big boats raced. Suckers in the
holds Of each worked like demons, and
smoke continually poured from the fun
nels> 1t was not until the Delaware
Capes were reached that the Trcsco
finally overhauled the Mohican, and then
both passed in abreast.
The observer in his signal tower az
the Capes was the first 10 catch sight of
the incoming boats. Far out to sea the
two long streaks OF black following in
the wake told how their furnaces were
working and spread the first news of the
race.
1t was $40 o'clock in the moraing
when they passed in, and a moment
later. when the pilots got aboard the
contest was resumed. The Reedy Island
quarantine was passed at 1:27. and
flying visit was made by the doctor 10
both ships At $40 the Tresco and
Mohican passed the Marcus Hook sta
tion with neither craft having the ad-
vantage, and from then on until the city
front was reached it was an exciting
struggle.
Both vessels reached port to drop an
chOTs off kainhns Point at the same
time, and it was not until then that the
shippers of each declared the race a
draw.
