ANNIVERSARY OF CITNARD LINE.

On July 4, Independence Day, the Leviathan sailed from New York for Southampton. Eighty-three years ago the day was celebrated by the sailing from Liverpool of the first of the Ctmard mail steamers. The Britannia was 1,154 tons gross, and had a sea speed of 81.- knots, while the Leviathan is 59.955.65 tons, and her speed performance relatively to that of other large and fast Atlantic liners is being watched with the greatest interest. NEW CRACK LINERS. The Cap Polonio is being displaced from her position as erode ship in the German fleet by the new Hamburg American liner Albert Ballin. which lias been put on service between Hamburg and Ne.w York, making Southampton a. port of call for British passengers. She is a 22,000fon ship, but her sea speed is only 15J, knots, which puts her very much (behind most of her rivals under other flags. As far a« looks are concerned, it is to ho feared that the German designers lost sight of them altogether, for, with her absolutely square lines, two funnels, and four masts, she. is as ugly a first-class ship as is to be found on the North Atlantic. She has been given exceedingly comfortable accommodation, however, especially for the second and third class, on whom her prosperity will principally depend, and her commissioning, together with that of her sister, the Deutschland, which will shortly follow, is a distinct milestone in the history of the German mercantile marine.
