MORE FAST RUNS.

The Lucana has not only broken the eastward
record established few weeks ago by the Cam

these days of fast ocean ferriage that the cOlnc.
dence Is perhaps more remarkable than any.
thing else No ocean steamship has ever crossed
the Atlantic and returned in precisely the same
time almost TO the fraction Of second; and
probably no other liner will ever succeed In re-
pcating this mathematical problem In accom-
plishing this astonishing result the Lucania
quickcned her average hourly speed and length.
ened her course Her speed was run up from
q 60 knots on her westward run to 21.S4 knots
on her eastward run. and her course was ex-
tended from 2,7SS to 2.SlO knots. The fractional
gain In her hourly speed enabled her to make
% additional knots and to finish In the same
time.
The American liner NewYork has also unex-
pectedly reduced the best record which was her
own, between the Needles and Sandy Hook, and
landed her passengers and mails in the quickest
time-G days I hours II mInutes-that was
ever made between Southampton and New
York. This performance, while over a longer
course than the Cunarders and with a lower
average speed. practically puts the two steamers
on terms Of equality so far as the requirements
