THE ATLANTIC sALUTED.
All the way up the English Channel. on her
nav TO the Isle Of Wight, yesterday, the Atlantic
was saluted by every vessel that met or passed
her. Captain Barr was trying TO break the
Fndynion's record to the Needles. but owing TO
the light wind he found it impossible to do so.
The Yacht was still ninety miles from the goal
when she passed Prawle Point at $40 p m
OTHER YACHTS NEARING FINISH.
The yawl Ailsa and either the bark Apache or
the barkentine Sunbeam were reported as having
been sighted yesterday afternoon about fifteen
miles 10 the westward Of the Lizard.
While the passage made by the Atlantic from
Sandy Hook to the Lizard is recognized as
new record for sailing yachts it is not the trans
atlantic record for sailing vessel The New
York clipper ship Dreadnaught placed the mark
IF nine days and seventeen hours in a run from
Sandy Hook 10 Queenstown. and for nearly half
g. century that record has stood by itself prac-
ticalIy unchalIenged. The Dreadnaughts feat
was accomplished in 1859. The distance she
covered was approximately $500 miles, The
Atlantic made approximately 5000 miles in
twelve days and four hours.
The steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse. which
arrived off Nantucket to-day, sighted the yacht
Endymion at 10 p. M May 26, in latitude

strong westerly wind. The Atlantic which won
the Emperor William cup and established new
transatlantic record for sailing yachts, was
about 49, miles to the eastward of the point
where the Endymlon was sighted by the Kaiser
Wilhelm. The Endymion has not yet been
sighted from the Lizard to-day.
The captain Of the steamer s.. Ftllans. which
arrived yesterday. reported that on May "a at
$50 p. m, in latitude Alb, longitude $3.50 he
passed the three-rnastsd schooner yacht Ute
wana- bound east-northeast, with an increasing
southerly breeze and misty weather.
Captain Peters Of the Hamburg said after the
race was ended:
see the Atlantic steered northerly course
and came UP with ice. That, 1 suppose, hap
pened 70 all Of us. It happened to me- but just
when the chances We're equal the fog crept w
and enveoped US leaving the Atlantic clea=.
That lost US a golden opportunity, and, then We
had TO contend with bad weather. About May 20
the gale gave US a tough battle. and for three
Gavs we had 10 reef our mainsail. but nothing
was carried away. From that time had
favorable breezes, and on May % made our rec
ord sail Of b. miles. The behavior OF the Ham
burg was excellent Every man had a good
time, and we have been as happy as kings
