subsidy which she and her sister ship, the
Mauretania. will earn for the line when
they average on one round trip 24.50 knots.
Wireless messages telling OF her progress
have been received here for the last several
days. On the first day out she reeled of

made e2s. Then her trained stokers. piling
more than thousand tons Of the best steam
coal into her yawning furnaces, forced
her ahead q few fractions Of knot swifter
than any liner has ever gone and she smashed
all single day runs by logging 8s2 miles.
At noon yesterday her skipper did not
tell the agents Of the line what speed he had
made for the day, contenting himself with
remarking that he was then $40 miles east
OF Sandy Hook. 1t was estimated by ex-
perts at the Cunard Office that the record
for the day was pretty close to $50 knots.
