A large number of square-rigged sailers are now trading across tho Pacific, many of which nro raaltiiiE loiic passages. In making a comparison between tho runs of the souare-rigjed ships and schooners, a writer in an exchaniio is struck with tho lenxth of time taken by the former, which, naturally, having a larger cpread of canva-s, should bo able to show faster time than the latter, but in the majority of instances siiflh is not tho case. i'asi sages lately rccordod show that, tho schooners are lust as smart sailers as tho square-rigged vessels.

However, tlio difficulty has been overcome. ... Messrs.
