Again the German yacht Hamburg Is
r,ported to be the leader In the race across
ire ocean for the German Emperors prizes.
The Emperor, it is said. is taking great
deal OF interest in the race, and be must
IA very pleased that the German boat
a ahead, even II she Is OF British build
and design. For two days now It has been
definitely known that the Hamburg Is
leading, and even whom no thing had been
heard from that boat THE Sun maintained
that she must be ahead of the Atlantic,
with the Endymion close up, for II she
had been astern Of the Atlantic she would
have been seen by some Of the many
steamers that had sighted the Atlantic.
Yesterdays wireless MESA ges confirmed
the report made by the Campania that
the Hamburg was the Leading boat, and
they also dis posed Of the ideas that have
teen conceived in some quarters that the
Atlantic had taken to herself wings and
bounded to the front. Tho steamship
St. Paul, which will arrive here this morn
ina. gave definite information about their
positions. Tho boats were passed on May
Is and "A, and their positions were Ham
burg, Ailsa. Endymion, Atlantic Fleur de
Tvs and valhalla. The Hamburg was
then thirteen miles ahead Of the Aiss, 30
that the yawl must have found good
streak OF wind and done some fine sailing
to pick up the leader az she has.
The Endymion was next, some miles ahead
Of the Atlantic Then came tho Feur de
Lys and the valhalla. The positions Of
these boats were not given In the despatch,
but it shows that the report OF tho Mime
haha sighting the Fleur de Lys two miles
ahead OF the Atlantic early in the morning
Of the twenty-third was correct. 1t was
only natural to suppose that when these
two boats got so close together that they
were getting the same weather the more
powerful craft would outsail the smaller
one and so the Atlantic passed the Fleur
de Lys.
The Hamburg was seen In latitude 4o.06.
longit ude 50s5. This was on the Esd at

Campania gave the position Of the yacht
as latitude 42.ls, longitude 4A.25 Tho time
Of that sshnG was sbs sss q S. the thu HANG
burg was doing well and had sailed 77e miles
between the two sighttngs.
The Ailsas position II not given BY the
st.. Paul, but she was said to be thirteen
miles asten Of the Hamburg.
On the Path both the ~ EndyTion "a. ana
was seen in latitude ~, longitude. 4s.A5.
This was at s:6s P. M. ships time, which is
The same as $50 Greenwich time, which Is
gwen In the despatch. The Endymion
was then 1885 miles from the start and could
not have been very far astsrn Of the Ham
out and in just the same latitude about
seven hours earlier Tho Atlantic on tho

ship. She was sighted at $50 p NJ, Or
