SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 49, 1Ss7.-The
North German Lloyds steamer Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse, Captain Engelhart,
from New York for Bremen via this port,
passed the Lizard at nine O'Clock this
morning.
Should the Kaiser Wilhelm finish her
passage from the Lizard to Southampton
In hours and 80 minutes, the time usu-
ally made by steamers, She will lower
her eastward record by about two hours.
The big liner passed Sandy Hook Light
ship about 1926 P. NJ, Tuesday, November

4:30 this afternoon, making the passage
in about 5-days - hours. On her maiden

Plymouth was days, Is hours and 10
minutes. The voyage to Southampton is
