WIN TIE RIBBON
Great New CunaFder Has Left
the LuCania Far Behind
in Ocean Race

LONDON. Sept. 11-Cunard officials
To-day expressed confidence that they
already have safely won the blue rib

Lusitania. the great turbine steamer,
which IS racing toward Sandy Hook.
having left the former champion
Cunard or Lucania. far behind. This
conclusion has been drawn from the
wireless reports which have convinced
the company that the greatest ship is
a success.
All we needed was assurance that
she would go without q hitch; that no
little error had been made, IL was
said at the Cunard offices to-doy.
This is proved. The rest is fore
gone conclusion"
This record. it was said undoubtedly
would be surpassed on trips after the
machinery has become easier through
use on a voyage or two.
The Lusitania was in wireless COM
munication with Cape Race at $50 "a.
m. 1t was POS miles south east Of
the cane at that hour.
Should the Cunarder maintain its
speed OF 25 knots. with which it Is
credited. it win enter New York har-
bor about / q. m. Friday. making the
time of the voyage four DAYS and
eighteen hours. or more than thirteen
hours better than the Lucania and
wrestling the Atlantic record from the
Hamburg liner Deutschland.
When heard from to-day the liner
had travelled about 1.G55 of the 2.7SO
miles between Queenstown and New
York. This would indicate a general
average speed Of a little better than
% 1-2 knots, hourly. Tt is known, how
ever. that fog delayed it for many
hours after the departure from
Queenstown. so that the speed must
have been much greater than % l.:
knots later.
