LUSlTANIA FLIES
 ACROSS THE SEAS With Ten Millions in Gold the Great Greyhound Makes Unprecedent-
 ed Trip Across.
HER OWN WORLDS
 RECORD SMASHED
Spans the Atlantic This Time in Four Days Nineteen Hours and Ten
 Minutes.

New York, Nov. S.--With ten mil Hons of gold In her strong~box and a new transatlantic record written in her log, the Cunard turbiner Lusitanta steamed past Sandy Hook lightship at 1.40 o'clock this morning. In one grand performance the great vessel broke her own worlds record and brought to the relief of the money market here S1O,- 900, ,oOO in gold in unprecedented time. The west-bound trip was made ap- proximately in four days, nineteen hours and ten minutes. The exact time can only be known from the official reckoning. Her hourly average was a little better than twenty-four knots an hour
 The former western record of the turbiner, completed Oct. Ii last, was , days, 19 hours, 52 minutes. The aver age speed on that trip was 4 knots an ' hour for the distance of 2,7S1 miles. 7 The best days run at that time was 617 knots Though improving on every < run, the Lusitania has probably not & yet met the government requirements < which will entitle her to financial fa- yor. To earn the government sub I sidy, the greatest ever appropriated for a steamship, the Lusitania is required X to make a round trip at an hourly I average of "A 3-4 knots. The steamer has one year within which to develop this speed, and she will fulfill all promises in this line at an early date. & The Lusitania fought out the last lap of her race against time in the teeth of a southwest gale. She had been fa- vored with ideal weather until early yesterday when she ran into the off, coast storm that considerably bothered 4 her When she swept by the lightship this morning she cut her way trough a tumbling sea. The turbiner came to anchor outside the bar, where she awaited daylight to come through the Ambrose channel, which is not yet Lighted at night. She is expected to dock about g o'clock this morning
 The swift Cunarder wrested the title of Queen of the seas" from the Ger mans on her last record breaking trip and is now bending ger energies to earn the subsidy. With a big passen- ger list and unprecedented gold imports ! she called from Queenstown at 11:30 a.

 From the moment she disappeared From land hull down to the westward 4 pf Daunt's Rock and headed for Sandy
 Hook the Lusitania steamed at tor
 speed. Her daily runs were COG, 616
 SIS and 610 knots up to noon yesterday
 The best days run beat her previous record for twenty-four hours by one knot This run of SIS knots was made I n the twenty-four hours preceding Wednesday noon Fair weather for the x better part of the trip, and her ma- ehinery7 shaken down and running smoothly, both contributed From the passengers" standpoint the trip was a ! most delightful one, and the hourly and :. laily runs were the subjects of animat- sd speculation, The Lusitania was re- ported S05 miles east of Sandy Hook
 It Il a. m, yesterday. She passed Nan I ucket st o'clock last night. At 9:45 < clock she was in communication with
 he wireless station at Sagaponack
 1ong Island and at 1:S0 she was pick
 Id up from Fire Island. This is sev-
 ral miles farther out than vessels are
 sually made out from Fire Island. and
 he report gave rise to the belief that
 he would make Sandy Hook bar earlier
