Special Cable Despatch TO THE SUN
PENzANcE, May 3O.-The sole German
representative In the contest for the German
Emperor's trophy crossed the finishing line
at 7:22 to-day, % hours and minutes be-
hind the Atlantic, but still beating the
Endymion's record by IS hours 20 minutes.
which will, doubtless, be acclaimed as
fine performance. 1t is, but 1t was evident
that the discovery that they would have to
be content With second honors came as
disappointment to the Germans.
As it was her fortune to be the first to
congratulate the Atlantic, so it was the lot
Of THE SUNS steamer, Lady OF the Isles,
to be the first to announce to the Hamburg
that she had been preceded at the winning
line by her speedy rival. This was done
at 2:l5 P. NJ, when the Lady Of the Isles
ran close under her stern some twenty live
miles out from the Lizard. Herr Tietjens
was told that the Atlantic and finished at
elo last night. On hearing this Herr
Tetjens let his hand fall from his ear with
an expressive gesture of disappointment,
but moment after he expressed admiration
OF his rivals fine performance, especially
her big days run Of 34l miles.
The Hamburg was first seen about
O'Clock, when she was thirty-two miles
west by north Of the Lizard with all sails
set. She was then making four or four
and a half knots in light breeze. The
weather was as fine and as brilliant as yes
terday, but the breeze was fresher. The
breeze freshened and soon she was making
nine and a half knots despite two and
half mile an hour tide against her She
was going in fine form, with every sail
drawing as she crossed the line in the
presence OF fewer tugs and other boats
than greeted the Atlantic last night.
During the night and morning several
vessels that were assumed to be yachts
were reported passing the Scilly Islands.
1t was hazy early this morning of the Liz
ard. When it cleared the Lady OF the Isles
steamed down the Channel to meet the
yachts. Apparently none of the vessels
reported was a competitor in the race, as
when Lands End was reached there was no
sign Of any Of them coming.
Adolf Tietjens, the owners representa-
tive on board the Hamburg said they had
had a good passage. They had not seen
many OF their competitions on the voyage,
but on May 10 and May 20 they were abreast
Of the Endymion. Last Thursday a steam
ehip overlook them and told them that
the Endymion was seventy miles astern
and the Aisa eleven miles asten. There
had been no accidents Of any description
to mar the pleasure of the voyage. The
vessel behaved splendidly in the heaviest
weather.
The Hamburg's performance would have
been regarded as remarkable had not the |
Atlantic collapsed it. On learning that the |
Atlantic was the winner Herr Tiet jens
expressed wish to see copy of her log,
which was accordingly passed to him. The |
performance was very credit
able, she being much smaller boat than the
winner, while, in addition. she sailed about
q hundred miles further on the whole dis
tanoe.
The wind freshened, and heading for the |
land the Hamburg could not carry her spin |
maker which was taken IN ten miles from
the finish. She reached for the Lizard on
the port tack and was received with gun
at 7:22 P. NJ. After the finish the yacht
proceeded to Cowes.
Following are her daily runs
