The somewhat remarkable feat of removing a lighthouse from one position and depositing it bodily in another was performed at Hartlepool, England, recently. The structure, which is of wood, is forty feet high, surmounted by a fourth order red dioptric light. Recently the Old Pier, on which it stands, was Lengthened, and the task was to move the lighthouse about thirty feet on to the new part. The work was accomplished by means of ways, similar to those used in launching a steamer, being laid under the lighthouse. Along these ways the structure was drawn, by the use of purchase blocks and tackle, about twenty man hauling on the ropes. So steadily did the lighthouse glide along that even an incandescent gas mantle up aloft remained undamaged. The actual process of removal barely occupied half an hour. AN EXCITING RACE. An exciting ocean race took place between the barques Joseph Craig and Louisa Craig, which arrived at Melbourne on Saturday (March 30) from New Zealand. The two vessels, which trade regularly between New Zealand and Australia, met off Deal Island, in the Kent Group, about 146 miles from Melbourne, on March 28. The Louisa Craig was then three miles ahead of

the Joseph' Craig. Under the influence of a fresh south-easterly wind, both vessels sped along with all sails set. All night the race continued, but when morning broke it was seen that the Joseph Craig had gained slightly. The wind gathered strength during the day, and enabled the barques to make a quick run to the Heads, which then entered at 20 minutes to 6 in the afternoon. The run up the bay was made in steamer time, and 20 minutes to 8 the vessels passed the Gellibrand, the Joseph Craig being about a length ahead of the Louisa Craig. The Joseph Craig, which is under the command of Captain J. S. Stewart, left Kaipara, Now Zealand, on March 14, with a cargo of 600,000 ft, of kauri and white pine timber. The Louisa Craig, Captain Robert Kennedy, which carries 570,000 ft. of white pine, left Whangarei, New Zealand, on March 16.
