Quick Trip of Kaiser VIII
helm der Crosse.
EASTWARD TIMEL0WERED
To Plymouth by IS Hours and
Southampton by 13 Hours.
AVERAGE SPEED WAS HIGH.

New York, Oct. Ga cablegram
received from London this morning an
nounoes that the new North German
Lioyd's steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse, was sighted passing Soilly Island
at 10 O'Clock this morning This an
nouncems snt makes il certain that tho
steamer has broken all previous records
held to Plymouth and Southampton and
brought the time of passage across tho
Atlantic to the English channel very close
to the much talked Of five days. Tho
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse sailed from
New York for Plymouth and Bremen on
Septem ber 30tb. clearing the bar st 6.O2
pm. and the lightship 20 minutes later.
Allowing four hours for tho run from
scilly TO Plymouth she is duo there
about 2 80 o'clock this afternoon, and this
will make the time OF passage about five
days fifteen hours and thirteen minutes.
This is better by Is hours and II min
utos than the time OF the Ham burg liner
Fuerst Bismarck, which has held the Ply
mouth record of days. 9 hours and "a
minutes since August, 1896, and beats
the Southampton record he'd by tho
American liner St Louis of q days 10
hours and Ia minutes, made last month,
by about IL hours, for had she been going
to southampton she would have been due
there about 3: :50 O'Clock this evening.
The average speed made on tho passage
would be about 81. go knots per hour.
The time here given for tho arrival Of
the big steamer is. of course. approxi-
mate. and when she does arrive she may
make a still better showing than this.
The Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse on her
arrival here on Sept. 90. on her maiden
trip. made the passage from Southampton
In. r days % hours and SO minutes. an
average speed ot 81 80 knots, lowering
the westward Southampton record held
by the St. Paul by hour and 56 minutes.
By smashing the records both eastward
and westward she is now queen of the
Southampton course.
