THE KENNEDY. The Kennedy arrived from We3tport yesterday with 200 tons of coal. MODERN CLIPPER SHIP PASSAGES. The British ship Lucipara (1943 gross tons), a vessel built on the Clyde in 1885, has to her credit some speedy runs, as she holds the record of having sailed from San Francisco to Newcastle, N.S.W., in 3S days (says the New York Marine Journal). Other fast trips made over this route in recent years have been by the British ship Ambassador in 39 days, by the Windhover in 42 days, and by the training ship Port Jackson, another one of the fast sailers, in 39 days. Besides the above excellent run, the Lucipara has to her credit a passage from Taltal to the English Channel in 80 days, made in 1909. This was, in fact, part of a round voyage made by this vessel, during which she was away from England fifteen months, five of which she spent in port. During the other ten months she went from Antwerp to San Francisco, San Francisco to Newcastle, Newcastle to Taltal, and Taltal to the Channel. Among other modern square-riggers that have made Cast passages may be mentioned particularly those of tlie Loch Line. In ISB3, for instance, the Loch Torridon made a passage from Glasgow to Melbourne in 7+ days, and from Melbourne to Calcutta in 42 days. In 1884 the same vessel went from Greenock to Melbourne in' 77 days. In 1893 the Loch Katrine went from Belfast to Melbourne in 71 days, and in 1593 the Loch Carry from Tuskar to Cape Otwav in 70 days. Another modern fast sailer was the fivemasted barque Preussen, capable of carrying 8000 tons deadweight, and which in 1904-5 made no fewer than seven Cape Horn passages within the space of 21 months,

NOTES. Having been overhauled and recaulkert in various places below her waterlinc, the schooner Rachael Cohen came out oi dock at Port Chalmers on Saturday. She will resume her journey to the Mac< quarie Islands after reloading her cargo and stores.

Towards the middle of next month the chartered steamer Ocean Monarch, 4511 tons, will arrive in New Zealand waters for the purpose of loading wool for Home under the auspices of the Shaw, Savill and Albion Company. The. steamer Quito, which was built at Port Glasgow in 1900 by Messrs W. Hamilton and Co., and was owned by Messrs Andrew Weir and Co., has been sold to East Coast buyers for about £45,000. The vessel, which was registered at Glasgow, is of 2153 tons net, and is well known as a trader from Vancouver to Auckland.
