RACE ACROSS THE OCEAN
Record Breaking Liners Leave New
York Almost Together.
The Deutschland Bound for Ply
month and the KAISER WilheIm
of amburls-smerican Ship Conf
dent She Has Not Done Her Best.

NEW YORK, Sept. What promises to
be one of the closest and most exciting of
marine races began this morning, when
the two swiftest ocean liners aflcae crossed
the bar within an hour OF each other on
their way to Europe.
The steamships are the new Hamburg
American record smasher Deutschland and
the North German-Lloyd flyer Kaiser VIII
helm der Crosse, which held all records
until the Deutschland took them. Cher
bourg is the port for which the Kaiser VIII
helm der Crosse is making, while the Ham
burg-American liner is bound for Ply
mouth. Thus the liners Will pursue paral-
lei courses and it may be that the passen-
gers aboard the vessels Will get frequent
view of each other.
CherbouTg, over the course which the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse will sail Is
about 2150 miles from Sandy Hook. while
the port for which the Deutschland is max
ing is about 100 miles nearer. This differ
ence, however, is not great enough to less
en- interest in the comparative perform
ances of the two vessels There Will be no
race, say the officers Of the TWO rival Ger
man liners but they add that all voyages
are made at top speed. Each steamship
will be pushed to her best limit and the
hours start which the North German Lloyd
liner has over the Deutschland will tend
to even matters between the two grey
hounds.
There is no question: but that the
Deutschland is out after new westward
record. She holds that record now, but
Captain AIbers is confident that the
Deutschland has not yet done her best by
d wide margin. To break her own record
10 Plymouth, the Deutschland must arrive
there in less than five days, eleven hours
and forty-hye minutes. record which she
made ON the voyage ending August II.

Academy of Music-yaudeyine.


Two audiences that tested the capacity
of the Academy Of Music attended the
opening of that theatre under the manage
ment OF the Messrs- Hashim yesterday att
ernoon and evening. Even standing room
was ct a premium. The really imposing
programme was carried out in its entirety
to successful conclusion, and the new
managers Of the former Rapley downtown
house may be well satisfied with their en-
try into the local vaudeville field. Almost
every turn was roundly applauded, the
headliners, Pauline Hall and Be1tina Cir
ard, naturally coming in for the major
share Of the enthusiasm. The former
queen Of comic opera repeated several OF
the songs she rendered in this city last
season and they scored just as heavily as
on the occasion Of the previous hearing,
especially Buy a Pretty Dolly" and the
lullaby from "Erminie." Miss Girard was
given warm welcome when her letter
was posted, and she responded by singing
very effectively three songs, the concluding
number being a medley, with Dixie" for
its finale. Montgomery and Stone, ii team
