Four llrktil ahipe have> ej»rwd from San Francisco on a race round Cape Horn to England, thay ere the Bowdon, Pinmore, i Lord, Tecnpienvtre, and Lochea All are bound for Cork woept tit* Lord Templemom which Roen to Liverpwl. The captain of each ship put np2soJole.. and the winner will take 75<.V1015., while the second slap will save stake money. All the ships are loaded with grain, and got under w.ty ut alio same time. It is notorious that over-production in the shipbuilding world is to a large extont responsible far the heavy i eductions in shipowners' profits in recent years. The fin urea rslating to the tonnage now under construction hold out tome hope of improvement m the future. The vessels at present building in the United Kingdom aggregate 621,000 tone against 843.000 tons at the corresponding period last year, and 1,264,000 tons in 1882. Though theee statistics may not oarry comfort to the shareholdf-rs of companies engaged in ehipbuildiojr opt ati«M, they will be appreciate*! by investors whose money is locked up in non-productive shipping. The Lonls of the Admiralty have written to the Victorian Government, through His Excellency the Governor, a letter in reply to complaint* made iw to the infrequeucy of the visits of the veissels of the auxiliary squadron to Melbourne and also to Adelaide. The letter states that between the JJ2nd September, 1891. and the 'isth October. 1892, the vessels spent 163 days in Victorian waters, which was equal to one ship for nearly five months. It is pointed out that as only four out of the nine ships comprising the squadron are in commission, it is impossible to keep a vessel at each one of the capitals of the Australian colonies. The Lords «f the Admiralty do not hold out auy hope that it would be practicable to increase the number of visits of the vessels, bet they have asked Rear-Admiral BowdenSmith, who is in charge of the Australian station, to give consideration to the matter. REMARKABLE STEAMING. A speed of 400 knots in "24 hours is of itself remarkable, but the performance of the Cunarder Campania leaves that speed quite astern. The ship was sighted offßrowht.vl on Friday, l'2th May, at 7 a.m., from Now York, having made the passage in 5 days 15 hours. At 8.30 a.m. she was sighted 16 mil*.* west of the Faatnet, steaming rapidly for Queenstown. She arrived off Qtecnstown at 9.30 a.m. Her time from New York was 6 days 17 hours 27 minutes, the fastest passage on record. The following is an abstract of tl« log of the Gamp vnia :-flUi May, 29 knots ; 7th May. 481 knots; Bth Mav. 490 knots: 9th \lmv 471 knots; 10th May, knots jll May. 49 5 s acta ; uid 12th May, 444 knots ; the total disi nee being 2928 knots. On 6th May. at fi 25 p.m., when 109 miles east ci Sandy Hook ..gut. the Campania passed the American steamer Paris, bound cast. The Campania has. th- afore, broken the eastern record by several ii >urs, her actual passage from Sandy Hook to I) Hint's R>Mik being 5 days 17 hours 27 minutus. The best previous passage made to the eastward was by the City of New York in August last yar, when she ran a total d's ticicfc of !i>!4 'milea iu 5 days 19 hours 57 minutes, eu wh c.h occasion, being on the northerly track, she ran 114 miles less than the Campania. The next best passage was that of the Teuton'" in October. 1891. in 5 days 21 hours 3-niuu*-* over a disbauce of 2790 miles. This is the '■• »> time that American pa*asnge/;a leaving N« a York on a Saturday have bjeu lauded iu Liverpool on * Friday.
