 New York. Oct. 11.--With every rec" ord for fast ocean travel to her credit, the steamship Lusitania slipped past Sandy Hook light at 1:10 o'clock this morning, finishing the most memora- ble Atlantic passage in marine history and giving the world its first four day across the Atlantic boat. The big Cunarder came up to the lightship still driving through the sea at close to 25 knots an hour. Hef time for the voyage was days 19 hours 90 min utes.
 In wireless dispatches was told the story of the last days run of the Lusi- tania, when it was known she had wiped out the record not only of the Deutschland for a single days run, but also the record of the Kaiser Will helm der Crosse for the best average speed for a single voyage. The Deutschland scored 601 miles on July 30. 1901, and twice the Lusitania ex- ceeded this total, making eos on her first day out from Queenstown and 6l9 on the second day at sea. The Kaiser Wilhelms performance of 2353 knots for the entire voyage, made in June, 1904, was beaten by the Cunarder by full knot.
 The Lusitania clipped hours and minutes from the time of her maiden voyage, which she made in 5 days and 54 minutes Her average speed for her first trip was 23.01 against the 23.15 knot average of the Deutschland on her record breaking run of days II hours and 54 minutes on the longer run from Cherbourg. The Lusitania beat the best time of the Lucania, for merly the record holder for the Queens town course, by II hours and 33 min utes.
 Crowds on Deck.
 The closing hours of the Lusitania's brilliant run were reported in dis patches sent through the wireless sta ton at Siasconset, Mass. It was told that the 5000 passengers crowded the l decks at 5::25 o'clock yesterday after noon, when the Nantucket lightship was passed. At that time the ship was travelling a fiat 25 knots an hour. The sea was smooth, and with clear weather there was nothing, barring ac- } cident, to keep the Lusitania from wrestling the crown for fast steaming from the Germans.
 The regular concert held in the first cabin last night developed into a merrymaking over the achievement Of the Lusitania A long programme of : songs. recitations and other items had been prepared, but it was abandoned for speeches, for which the Lusitania furnished the text, and there were cheers for the Cunard line and for /, Fulton. the inventor of the first steam boat, following which the passengers, as if moved by a spirit of triumphant charity, gave three cheers and tiger for the defeated Deutschland and the , Kaiser Wilhelm.
 Colonel H. I. Kowalski of San Fran cisco presided at the concert, and he . started the flood of oratory by this spirited address of his own: Although we applaud the Deutsch-
 land as the pacemaker, yet we cheer
 the Lusitania for beating her in this heroic struggle to wrest from the Ger
 man giant the blue ribbon for speed.
 The lion is again master of the ocean highway, and this English victory Is one in which the whole world joins.
 We Americans also are in on the vic ' tory"
 Brings In Fulton. Continuing, Colonel Kowalski made reference to Robert Fulton and the founder of the Cunard line. 'The
 great record made with the turbine en'
 zine removes all doubt of its efficien' |, cy," continued the speaker, ''so let us give three cheers for the builders. the f engineers. the captain, the officers and Q the crew of this gallant vessel" r The Lusitania passed Daunt's rock
 the starting point in the ocean race, ofi
 Queenstown, at 1925 last Sunday ]. morning, and during the last six hours e of her first day at sea she was enyel f oped in fog. She continued at terrific | speed, however, and. finally clearing a the fog bank, had clear weather to the e end of the voyage.
 The Lusitania already has half wor the subsidy of S75O.OO0 a year offered by the British government to the Gu 5 nard company for a ship that would make a round trip between Queens o town and New York at an average s speed of 24Is knots. The company had e a year in which to make the record.
