She is now (Monday) 78 days out from the American port. This is the longest; passage made by a sailer for eight years past. During recent yenrs the record for.l lengthy passages from San Francisco to Auckland hare been held by the schooner Ivona (7G days), the M. Turner (76 days), and the H, M. Smith (75 days). The long trips were made at about the samo time as this, so that the length of the Andy Mahony'a sail- | ing is due probably to similar conditions. . .
