FOR ATLANTIC BLUE RIBBON2
VaterIand and Mauretania to Speed
Across Atlantic for High HOnOrs.

NEW YORK, May 26.-The fact
that the new Hamburg American liner
Vaterland and the Mauretania will sail
from this city today has aroused
great interest in shipping circles here
and abroad, for the possibilities of
transatlantic race are apparent to even
the most casual. 1t is reported that
heavy wagers have been laid on the
German vessel
The management of both the Ham
burg American and the Cunard lines
deny any intention of racing; never
theless the public will be interested
in the comparison of speeds shown by
the two liners. The Mauretania has
registered 26 knots, While the Water
land is understood to be a 90 knot
steamer; but on her maiden trip she
averaged "a knots, and her engineers
did not push her in the least
They confidently assert she can
easily capture the blue ribbon of the
Atlantic, and are hoping to be in port
several hours before the Mauretania
reaches her destination.
