THE BIGGEST SHIP IN THE

WORLD.

69,000 TONNER FOR THE WHITE STAR LINE.

OLD" QUARREL NOW ENDED.

[BY FRANK G. HOWIN.]

The announcement that has been made by the International Mercantile Marine Company that they intend to build a 62,000-ton ship for the White Star Line does not come as a surprise to the ship ping world, for it has been known that they have been thinking very seriously of the matter for some time, and that Messrs. Harland and Wolf, the famous Belfast shipbuilders, have had rough plans prepared for many years past.

HONGKONG" SHIPPING.

POOR RETURNS FOR HONGKONG

FREIGHT.

A BIG DECREASE RECORDED,

www

A big decrease with regard to Hong- kong cargo was shown in yesterday morn- ing's shipping statement There were four fewer arrivals than on the previous day, bus Hongkong cargo decreased very considerably, there being a drop of no less than over 13,000 tons. Freight for porta beyond also went down, but not to shy- thing like the same extent, the decrease being only a matter of over 3,000 tona.

TONNAGE AND NATIONALITIES.

The tonnage figures were as 'bader:- Total: 23,880 tons; British vessels: 14,475 tons; Other vessels: 10,38h tona.

This will put an end to the dispute as to which is the biggest ship in the world once and for all. According to register figures, the American Leviathan holds the position with ber gross tonnage of 39,957,

At 9 mm. yesterday there were 37 while the British Majestic is only 36,531. vessels in the harbour, of which 24 were British During the previous twenty- As a matter of fact, these figures are very deceptive; for, while the bear and depth four hours aine vessels arrived, tis, fire of the two ships are precisely the same, British, one Dutch, one Japanese and the length of the Leviathan is 007.6 feet, two Chinese There were only three de while that of the Majestic is 915.5. The partures, these being a Japanese steamer German doctor who designed both ships for Swatow, a Chinese steamer for Sha has described how the fajestic came into Chung, and a Japanese vessel for 'Hai-

phong. There Was being, when her owners took the very

one clearance, successful design of the Leviathan and Japanese vessel for Shanghai, put in a few extra frames to give her more space for additional features.

The difference in size is purely 'owing to the American methods of measurement, which apply both to the gross tonnage, which is always taken as an indication of the ship's size, and the net tonnage, on which they pay their harbour dues and the like. By this measurement, the Leviathan is quite artificially given a net tonnage of nearly 1,300 more than the bigger Majestic.

It was only a short time ago that people were confidently asserting that the giant liner would never be made to pay. That was soon after the war, when shipbuild- ing costs were very high and shipowners found it more economical to construct ships of about 20,000 tons apiece. Later, the position appeared to be getting more hopeless still, owing to the Dillingham Immigration Act having cut into the third-class business on which these giant ships very largely depend.

The Majestic, for instance, carries well over 9,000 third-class passengers in ac- commodation which compares favourably with the first-class of 40 years ago.

The regular emigrant business is still dead, but in its place has.come the third- class tourist trade, which is now making huge strides on the North Atlantic, bidă fair to fill up the empty third-class quar- tera, and is no doubt largely responsible for the International Mercantile Marine Company's decision.-Daily News.

PROFITS OF TEST CRICKET.

WHAT BECOMES OF THE MONEY.

£15,000 FOR THE AUSTRALIANS.

What becomes of the large sum of money taken at the gates and by the sale of stand tickets at the Test matches 1

Exact figures are not yet available, but it is estimated that the aggregate grosa receipts of the five Test matches this year are little short of £60,000. More than

half of this total was taken at Lord's ind the Oval.

sixth of this must be written off for

The balance between the gross gate totals and the gross receipts is £24,000, of which £4,000 goes in entertainment tax, leaving £20,000 to be added to the 16,000 which is England's share of the
