THE LUSTAN|A
Smashing All Records
Across the Atlantic,
Passed Nantucket Light-shi ,
| O'clock This Morning.
Expected to Dock at New York City
by Noon Today.

New York. Sept. 12.-The most i'm
pOrtant ocean race in tranS-A atlantic
Stpaming is nearing Il spectacular fin
ISL. The turbinc-drivcn LuSitania, in
which is incarnatcd the British resolve
to win back from Germany the blue
ribbon of the seas, was nearly abcam
of Nantucket lightShip tonight and
only about 200 miles from Sandy Hook
Lar She has easily broken the Cunaru
Line record Of the Lucana, which to-
night was trailing $50 miles aStorn. but
to WraSt from the Deutschland, of the
Hamburg American Line the glory Of
the westward passage, the challenger
must reach the bar not later than $40
o'clock tomorrow morning.
Indications tonight were that she would
reach the finish line about o'clock to-
morrow morning Allowing for the differ
ence in time this would make the trip
five days. one hour and p minutes. Thus
she would beat the Lucania record by six
hours, but would not equal the compara-
tive time of her German rival. II is be
loved however that her best time has
not been made o nthis trip and that she
is unquestionably the fastest liner afloat.
The Lusitania tonight reported by wire
less that her average speed had been
23SG knots an hour and her highest days
run 593 miles.
