The following table shows at a glance how the _Campania_ compares with her largest predecessors in point of size and power: Tonnage. Length Breadth Horsepower. in feet. in feet.

In 1850 the average passage of a Cunarder westward was thirteen days, and eastward twelve days sixteen hours; in 1890, the average was reduced to seven days fifteen hours twenty-three minutes, and seven days four hours and fifty-two minutes, respectively. The fastest individual passages down to 1891 were made by the _Etruria_, westwards in six days one hour and forty-seven minutes; and by the _Umbria_, eastwards in six days three hours and seventeen minutes. But these were beaten by the _Teutonic_, which reduced the homeward record to five days and twenty-one hours; and by the _City of Paris_, which reduced the outward passage to five days and sixteen hours. Roughly speaking, these new Cunarders are about ten times the size and forty times the power of the pioneers of the fleet, and the _Campania_ will run every twenty minutes almost as many miles as the _Britannia_ could laboriously make in an hour. Is it possible that within the next fifty years we shall be able to make the voyage to New York in three days? The old _Britannia_ took fourteen days to Boston, and it was not until 1852 that the ten days' record to New York was broken by the 'Collins' Company. If, then, in forty years we reduced the record from ten to five, who can say that the limit of speed has yet been reached? SAILING-SHIPS.
