so.oco Runches of Bananas.

The largest cargo of bananas ever re
:eived i'm any port OF the world reached
here Thursday on the United Fruit COM
oany's steamer Esparta from Port Limon,
costa Rica. II consisted of 10000 punches
Of I.imon fruit, which is the largest var
lety of banana shipped to this country,
and it filled 150 box cars. These cars. il
attached to one locomotive. would have
stretched Il distance of Il mile and u half.
The work of discharging this cargo will
he the greatest task the company has ever
undertaken. Orce the sister ship of the
IGsparta the l.imon. arrived with $1,000
punches OF fruit and up 10 that time the
record was Very much smaller. The
Esparta broke the l.imon's record by GOO
punches.
The Southern Pacific road ran out a
special train to assist in the delivery Of
this fruit, which will be scattered all over
the country between ST. Louis and Van
couver a portion OF the cargo goes to
Houston. Galveston. San Antonio. Los An
geles and San Francisco Another section
Will go to Seattle and Vancouver and this
train will run "a special over the Southern
Pacific straight through San Franciscan
up the Pacific coast. Chicago. Omaha,
Kansas City, Detroit. ST. Louis. Indian
apolis and several smaller cities will be
supplied with fruit from this one single
cargo.
1t took eight trains loaded with nothing
but bananas 10 carry out the consignment
and there were fifteen messengers in
charge of the fruit.
When the cargo OF the Esparta is com
pared with the shipments which were re-
oeived up to a few years ago. and idea can
he secured as to the wonderful growth
OF the importations.
When the steamers first ran in the fruit
trade they carried on an average OF 1000
punches each. just one-sixth of the Espar-
tas cargo. These vessels were chartered
in Norway and made an average OF nine
miles an hour. The steamers now In the
trade are magnificent ships, fast and
equipped with every modern comfort for
a limited number of passengers.
