CLIPPER SHIPS IN LONG RACE
Content Between Vessels Carrying Tea
From China to England One of
the Best on Record.
The Chlua clipper races, contested
by vessels carrying ten to Knglund,
covered the longest course of any
rnce In history. One of the most fa
mous was that of IROfl. It was ar
rnnged that nine of these ships should
sail from Fooclmw with the new sen
son's teas as nearly lis possible on the
same day, but only five finished load
ing In time.
The Klery Cross was the first to
Ktnrt, being towed out to sea early on
May 211. The Ariel followed next
morning nt 10::t0, the Serlca and the
Tapping willing 20 minutes later, while
the TaitKiug did not put to sen until
inlrtnlnlit on the rilsr. They were, of
course, nil chosen ships with n repu
tation for speed.
The Fiery Cross wns the first to
round the Cape of flood TIopp, 40 rtnys
out, with the Arid on her heels, while
(hp Tneplng, Serlcn nnd Tallslng
were respectively one, four nnd el(.'ht
dnys behind. The Ariel led from the
Azores to the entrnnce to thp English
chnnnel, where the Serlen nnd Tne
plng pulled up ahead of the others,
nnd there followed n ding-dong nice,
up thp chnnnel, with n fine spread of
canvas and u strong southerly wind.
The Ariel nnd the Tneplng were
the lenders, first one nnd then Hip

worthy finish for such crack ships.
