We (‘AucklandHerald') learn from the United States Consul that two American cruisers in the South Pacific may be expected in this port at any moment. He has not heard lately of the whereabouts of either of these United States men-of-war, but is aware that Auckland is to be a port of call for both of them. They ore the Tnscaxora and the Kearsage. A race between two such splendid steamers as the Australia and Arawata is a sight not often seen in this harbor. The two made actual start exactly together, for although tab Aust-alia left first she had to take the northern and longer route, while the Arawata was able to head straight for Halswell Point. The distance, however, from the point from which each started simultaneously was almost exactly the same. On the Either hand, of course, it took longer for the larger boat to get m her full speed. Both steamed away at a most remarkable rate, and an immense crowd of spectators watched in great excitement which should round Halswell Point first. In the end, the Arawata rounded the Point exactly Imin. ISsec. in advance of the Australia doing tne three miles in ISmin. —* Post/ The Union Company’s chartered s.s.
