THE LUSITANIA LOWERS HER
RECORD.

Last week the steamship Lusitania
finished a sensational run across the
Atlantic. The big turbine ship not only
lowered all records for the trans
Atlantic voyage by nearly four hours,
but broke three other records She
made the entire trip in just four days
and fifteen hours The previous record,
made by her on November Sth, last,
was four days, eighteen hours and
forty minutes, her new performance
lowering the previous mark by three
hours and forty minutes.
On the whole trip of 2,7S1 miles, the
Lusitania made an average speed of
25.05 knots an hour, a new record, the
previous one being 25.O1, made by her
on her record trip last November. The
third record broken is that for the
greatest days run-650 knots up to
noon of the seventeenth--in which run
she also set new pace in steaming an
average of 1850 knots for the "a
hours.
The Lusitania's previous best per-
Torrance was made last November,
when the short course was still in use.
AS the season advanced, the big tur-
Diners, with the rest of the great liners,
began using the southern or long
course to avoid danger from icebergs.

AUSTRALIA WELCOMES THE
FLEET
FIEET.

The demonstration at Sydney, n.
S. W., on the arrival of the American
fleet was extraordinary. No more tri-
umphal entry of gallant vessels into
port was ever witnessed than when
the warships pushed through the haze
of the sea and steamed majestically
past the headlands, crowded with
cheering multitude. Large bodies of
men from all the ships were brought
ashore in the morning in launches.
They numbered close to three thousand.
In sections they marched to the outer
domain, which adjoins the Botanical
Gardens, and formed upon allotted
spaces fronting the reception pavilion
Then came the admirals and their
STATS, who landed ashore on the east
side of the cove, where a guard of honor
from the British naval forces was
drawn up. They were met by the prime
minister, Alfred D. Eakin, and the
other ministers of the commonwealth,
the Premier of New South Wales and
his ministers, the Lord Mayor of Syd-
ney and members of the corporation.
Rear Admiral Sperry, commander of
the fleet, inspected the Naval Guard,
and then, with the others, was driven
to the reception pavilion in the domain
where he was greeted by Lord North
cote, encouragement of Australia:
Sir Harry Rawson, the governor of New
South Wales, and the military heads of
the colony
The scene was a brilliant and pic
turesque one. The grand pavilion was
surmounted by a great golden eagle.
glittering in the sunlight, and the
curved balustrades were inscribed with
the names of the American States
The stands surrounding the pavilion
seemed almost buried with flags, bunt-
ing and evergreens. These were occu-
pied by the Federal and State minis
ters, the members of the various
branches of the Legislature and gov
eminent officials, many of whom were
accompanied by ladies', whose gay cos
tunes furnished vivid patches of color.
