LUCAN|A IS QUEEN AGAIN..
The Magnificent Steamer Breaks
the Record Once More.
She Brings Patti and Other Weli-
Known People.

After cutting thirty-seven minutes OF
the westward record, the magnificent
Cunarder Lucania reached her dock at
Ills o'clock this forenoon.
Jucania made The run from aunts
Rock to Scotland Lightship in 8 days, II
hours and AZ minutes, thus wrestling the
record from her sister ship Campania.
This was accomplished despite rough
seas and contrary winds. which undoubt-
eddy retarded her progress to an APP
preciab'e degree. Both Capt. Horatio
Mckay n Engineer Miller are positive
that a much larger slice would " been
Topped from the record had the weather
been more favorable.
The ocean began to kick UP a row on
the second day Out, and even the gigan-
tic queen of the seas was somewhat
roughly handled. Very few of her pas
sengers escaped the terrible ma de mer.
Lucania's daily runs were 4Sl. 5t2, 536.
400. 535 and SO knots. Daunt,s ROCK was
passed at l.02 L. NJ. last Sunday. She
was off Fire Island at 7.37 last evening
and crossed over the bar at 9l9.
According to Capt. Mckay no extra
effort was made to beat the record.
Vernon IL. Brown. the Cunard Com
pany's agent, who was at the dock this
forenoon to meet Lucania. said that his
Company Il lSSuth olutlS NilhN tiAN''
should be no racing against time with
either Lucania or Campania.
The orders are" he said, that the
propellers shall be run at so many rev
olutions a minute, and no matter what
happens this must not be exceeded.
The engineer who disobeyed this order
and ran the engines at greater speed
would very likely lose his place.
I'VE have no idea that either Lucania
or Campania has reached her maximum
of speed even with the propellers in use
right pitch. We expect greater. things
of both ships when they. get their new
propellers in the Spring"
Lucania brought l6S saloon and 1S6
gers and flO2, 900 sterling in gold: The
most interesting person on board was
Adelina Patti-Nlcolini. who comes with

diva was not to be seen on board this
morning. Marcus Mayer, her manager,
who went down to Quarantine last night
and boarded Lucania there. said that
Patti was just recovering from a very
bad attack of seasickness.
He said the diva was too III this morn
still very feverish and would not leave
the ship until noon.

ever, too much for her this trip, and
she had to remain below after the sec

Another bit Of news which Mr.. Mayer
~voGchsafed the reporters was that Patti
