A Liverpool paper says :—" Great interert has been excited from the fact that live of the most celebrated clippers, two English and ? three American, are now on their way to this ? port and the port of London, with cargoes of 1 tea. Thoughthe time of starting differs, there will be opportunity sufficient afforded for test- ing the respective merits -and qualities of the craft. The Chrysolite, for Liverpool, and the Stornaway, for London, both English, sailed on the 4th of July. The Surprise and the Challenge, for London, and the Race Horse, for Liverpool, (all American,) sailed on the 15th of July. We may add that not a few wagers are pending on the result".
It’s Time to Stand Up for Science
If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in that two-century history.
I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.
If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.
In return, you get essential news, captivating podcasts, brilliant infographics, can't-miss newsletters, must-watch videos, challenging games, and the science world's best writing and reporting. You can even gift someone a subscription.
There has never been a more important time for us to stand up and show why science matters. I hope you’ll support us in that mission.
