Oct. 21-26 ... 5 7 23 The approximate distance between Sandy Hook (light-ship), New Y...ork, and Queenstown (Roche's Point) is 2800 miles. The fastest day's run on record, however, was made by the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, of the Nord Deutscher Lloyds Line, averaging 22. 35 knots (or nautical miles, of 6080 feet each) per hour, equal to about 25^ land miles. From Sandy Hook to Queenstown deduct 4 hours 22 minutes for difference in time. Queenstown to Sandy Hook add 4 hours 22 minutes for difference in time.
This eager rivalry in respect to speed, which insures not only a larger and more influential passenger service, but increased business in fast freight and in the carriage of mail both highly remunerative is only one fea- ture of the sharp competition between these ocean carriers as to which shall offer the greatest advantages, and this is of benefit to the public, though it has not greatly cheapened fares.
