Marks AN EPOCH
Performance of the Lusitania Proves
the Practicability of the
Turbine Engines.
FIVE DAYS AND So MINUTES
Her Average Speed Was 2S.o1 Knots
Per Hour-New York Gave the
New Steamer Noisy
Welcome.

New York, Sept. IA few days
ago there was a local celebration of
the one hundredth anniversary of that
proud occasion when Robert Fulton's
130-foot steamer Clermont went puff
ing up the. Hudson river at five miles
an hour. Friday New Workers turned
out to welcome a steam craft, the pas
sengers of which breakfasted in
Queenstown, Ireland, Sunday, and
lunched in New York Friday. Both
experiments, equally successful, were
epoch making in the way of propulsive
power, the Clermont with her side
paddles and the new Cunarder with
her quadruple turbines. The voyage
of the Lusitania so happily completed,
was most important, in that it was a
test of the most modern propulsive
power This is the view taken by her
owners, who are satisfied that the
practicability of the turbine for fast
ships has been demonstrated and that
this new departure in English ship
building has been justified The fact
that the Lusitania was able to cross
the Atlantic in five days and 54 min
utes and was able, on her maiden trip,
nearly to equal the best transatlantic
record, is held to be of secondary i'm
portance. Officials of the line said
Friday night that the Lusitania had
done all that was expected of her
without her having been pushed to
make a record, and they were conf
dent that she would be able when
called upon, to add to her achieve
ments the fastest voyage across the
Atlantic.
The log of the Lusitania gives her
time of passage as days and 81 min
utes. and her time of arrival of rhe
Sandy Hook lightship as sos a. m
Her average speed was 2301 knots per
hour, and the days runs were $50, 575,
$40, 593 and 4S3 to the lightship, a
total distance of 2,782 miles.
When the giant Cunarder swept Up
the bay she was given a clancrOus
greeting by an immense feet of steam
craft, which had congregated off The
quarantine station to await her ar
rival Nearly every one of the yachts,
towboats and other steamers was
crowded with passengers, well sup
piled with horns and other noise

The Lusitania presented magnificent

fully symmetrical lines and finesy
modelled stern marked her a Lrue

York which the passengers on tire
