New Turbiner LuSitania Lowers
Record From Queenstown.
NOT YET QUEEN OF THE SEAS

English Steamer Fails to Beat the
Hourly Speed Average Made by the
North German Lloyd Liner Kaiser
Wilhelm Il.
New York, Sept. The giant tur-
htner Lusitania Of the Cunard line
came into port on her maiden voyage
with new record Of 5 days and 81
minutes between Queenstown and
Now York. The Lusitania failed to
lower the hourly speed average of
3S.b8 knots made by the Kaiser Will
Helm II. Of the North German Lloyd
lha, though she covered the distance
between the ports in an average of
1901 knots, which Is record for
maiden voyages. Captain Watt said
that when the time comes for record
making. after her machinery is In
thorough order, the Lusitsnia will be
the empress Of the seas.
The Lustania's time was 6 hours
and 20 minutes faster than the previ-
ours record from Queenstown, held by
her sistsr ship, the Lucania.
TIE Lusitania, the largest ship
adoat, was given q royal welcome on
her arrival here and it was a contin-
ual ovation from the time she sped
past the Sandy Hook light vessel and
made her way through the Ambrose
channel. the first ocean liner to enter

Hharved int her dock. The Lusitania
was never pushed to her top speed
during the entire voyage, according to
her officers. She encountered pleas

line, who made the trip over, had this

"Tho engines of the Lusitania
worked perfectly and not during the
sntlre trip was the ship slowed down.
The Cunard people are more than
satisfied. What this ship will do in
the future may be judged from what
she has already done. No ship makes

BEGAN SIXTY YEARS AGO
Big Ocean Lines In Endless War for
Supremacy.

New York, Sept. 1 L-Sixty-one
years ago the little steamship Europa
of the Cunard line, with her old fash
toned engines, crossed the Atlantic
from Liverpool to New York in IL
days and 3 hours. Her performance
was heralded to the four quarters of
the earth, for the Europa had broken
the record Of 14k days made by the
steamer Great Western eight years
before. With the Europa's voyage
began the lasting contest for the SUI
premacy of the sea which has led to
the building Of the feet Lusitania.
The Lucania's record Of s days, Z
hours and 20 minutes, made from
Queenstown to New York In 1894, was
not broken until the Lusitania ar
rived. The Lucania, the flagship of
the Cunard line fleet, on that trip
made an average speed Of 21.S1 knots
over course Of 2,779 miles. While
tho Lucania was holding the Queens
town record the North German Lloyd
and American lines began to battle
for the Western record from South
ampton to New York, which was held
for three years between 1893 and 1896
by the steamships Paris, New York
and st. Paul Of the American line.
The st. Paul in 1896 made the voyage
from Southampton to New York, a
distance of 5000 miles, in days and
81 minutes.
German Line Takes the Lead.
Then the North German Lloyd com.

as she Is Familiarity called in shipping
circles, created a new record in 1899
when she steamed from Cherbourg,
France, to New York, distance of
1850 miles, in days, 10 hours and Is
minutes. This record was lowered In
the same year by the Kaiser to s days,
IT hours and 81 minutes. The Ham
burg-American line captured the blue
trophy Of the sea from her rival in
1900 with the steamship Deutschland,
which made the distance from Cher
bourg to New York in days, IL hours
and 70 minutes. The Deutschland
lowered her own record by six min
ntes In 1901. The Kron Prinz Wilhelm,
The new ship Of the North German
Lloyd line, slipped across the Atlantic
IN 1902 in 5 days, II hours and 81
minutes, which was the banner record
until the next year, when the Deutsch-
land again wrested the honors as the
fastest ship afloat by clipping off
three minutes from the record time of
the Kron Prinz Wilhelm. The
Deutschland made on this remarkable
voyage an average speed Of 22.]5
