The Auckland " Star " publishes ths follow-ing-.—The following cablegram from a passenger to Sydney, which reached us too late for publication last night owing to delays in transmission, shews that the race between the mail steamer ‘ City of Sydney ’ and Union Company’s ‘Manapouri’ was, after all a dead heat, the ‘ City of Sydney’ leaving Auckland three hours and a quarter after the ‘ Manapouri ’ and arriving in Sydney about three hours and ten minutes behind her. For an ocean race of 1281 miles this is ▼ery close. The voyage occupied 4 days 2 hours and a-half. The average is a small frretion over 13 miles an hour. Although the recorded time makes the City of Sydney apparently the winner by five minutes, the steamers were not timed with sufficient accuracy to say that either was the victor, and the race must therefore be pronounced a dead heat, and all bets off. Our telegram runs as follows :—

SYDNEY, Monday. The Manapouri arrived at 7.30, and the City of Sydney at 10.40 on Saturday night.
