U.S. FLEET.
NEARING MELBOURNE. A FAST RUN. GOOD WEATHER EXPERIENCED. (Received July 20, 11 a.m.) By radio, from the special representative of the Australian Press Association on hoard the Seattle. SUNDAY. Under a summer-like sky, and in a warm sun, the fleet is moving speedily along its course; in fact, in order •to arrive at Melbourne and Sydney at the designated time, it will probably be necessary for the speed to he reduced to nine knots. The noon position is 33.54 south and 160.57 east. The distance from Port Philip entrance is 872 miles, and the distance from fleet division point in 587 miles. It must he remembered that we are very near Sydney, hut in order that both detachments will arrive at approximately the same time the whole fleet will continue to a rendezvous virtually equidistant from Melbourne and Sydney, thence dividing. Thus our distance from Sydnev Heads, in round figures, is 890 miles.—A. and N.Z. Assn.
