.'Memories of the old days of New
York'i commerce when it was handl
ed in sailing vessels, before the advent
of steam driven ships, were awakened
this week by the record breaking ar
rival of the Pruessen, the largest sail
ing vessel of its class in the world. A
few transatlantic liners it is true aver
age about twenty knots an hour, but
not many exceed the record of near
ly nineteen knots or about twenty
two miles in an hour,' There have
been ships with more masts which
have recently entered New York har
bor but none in the class of the Pru
essen whose peculiarity lies in the
fact that she is square rigged and
lias no auxiliary engine. No other
ship of thfs class has entered the
harbor in year. The record break
ing vessel has 43 separate sails in all,
not counting sparsails, with a spread
of over 60,000 square feet of canvas.
The length of the lower yard of this
mammoth vessel is 102 feet, while her
main royal yard is 50 feet long. Her
ma Ms are three feet in thickness at
the deck, and a total of 56,625 feet
or, nearly eleven miles or rope has
been i 'used in )he f rigging. Of the six
anchors the largest weighs more than
four tons.' The ship is 433 feet long
and 56, feet in breath with a tonnage
of more than 11000,,, Altogether the
Pruessea is a mammoth of her class
such Vs has never bcen! seen befor
and a rare reminder of the days of
the clipper ship when sail driven ves
sets thronged New York's harbor.
The number of pushcarts, that is
the movable stores on wheels, from
which every kind of merchandise is
sold in New York, now exceeds the
surprising total of 6000. The goods
disposed of from them each year are
valued at $25,000,000. Indeed the
city's intinerant pushcart merchants
do annually a greater business than
many a thriving town, while their
number exceeds the population of
any of more than two-thirds of the
towns and cities of the country. The
lower cast side, with 5109 'of these
pushcarts peculiar to the newly ar
rived merchant of foreign extraction,
leads all the rest, and its showing in
this line would if all the pushcarts
were placed end to end extend more
than ten miles. The business of sup
plying these movable counters em
ploys "more' than 2,000 men in five
large factories and has a gross rt
venue of more than $2,000,000 annual
ly. The pushcart is apparently pecu
liar to, New York,,
