The Race for the Ocean Cup. 
As WE announced in our last issue, Atlantic, Mr. 
Wilson Marshall's three-masted schooner, won the trans- 
Atlantic race for the Ocean Cup presented by H. I. M. 
the German Emperor. Atlantic not only beat out her 
ten competitors but made the passage in the record time 
of 12 days 4 hours x minute, lowering the sailing record 
for the course. Had the wind not failed at the last she 
would have made the run in 12 days or even less. An- 
other record is also hers. Up to this time the best day's 
run from noon to noon ever made by a yacht was held 
by the schooner Dauntless. She made a run of 328 miles 
in the ocean race against Coronet. Atlantic's run was 
better by 13 miles, as she made 341 miles between noon 
of May 23 and noon of May 24. 
Second honors go to the German entry, Hamburg, 
which vessel finished over 22. hours behind Atlantic. 
Hamburg required 13 . days 2 hours 6 minutes to make 
the passage. 
Valhalla finished third, nearly two full days behind 
Atlantic. This fine, ship made a wonderful showing, and 
it was a surprise to many to find she was among the 
first three, particularly as the weather was too light all 
the way to be entlrelv to heif liking. 
The record holder, Endymion, finished fourth, two 
days after Atlantic and some hours behind her own 
record. 
'ihe other boats finished in the order named: Hilde- 
garde, Sunbeam, Fleur de Lys, Ailsa, Utowana and 
Thistle. Apache is the only laggard, and, as we write, 
she is .still at sea. Although she has been out nearly 
three weeks now, no fears are felt for her safety, and 
it is believed her lack of speed accounts for her long 
passage^ 
■ The race was most successful in almost every 
respect. There was a good list of entries, all the boats 
entered started, and all those that started had fairly good 
weather and. no very trying experiences. 
' America, Germany and England were represented by 
yachts in the race, and it is rather interesting that one 
of the three prizes went to each of those countries. 
All Americans are justly proud that Atlantic won the 
race. Except for her crew and skipper, who is a natural- 
zed American, she is a home production throughout. 
Captain Barr and Mr. Fred M. Hoyt, who acted as 
navigator, decided to sail a southerly course, and in the 
light of subsequent events the decision was a very wise 
one. By taking this route she encountered favoring 
winds of the strength she wanted and avoided the fog 
and gales that were found further north. 
The first day out Atlantic and Hamburg had it nip and 
tuck. Captain Barr knew the German boat's speed as he 
had tested it in foreign waters only last year with 
Ingomar. After the first day Atlantic passed Hamburg 
and finally shook her off altogether. From that time on 
she was in the lead throughout the entire race. Fair 
winds of sufficient strength to enable her to average ten 
and one-half knots was what she encountered. The only 
bad night she had on the trip she was kept going. It 
was risky business to run at night under such conditions, 
but her skipper hung on and gained materially thereby. 
On her record day's run she averaged over 14^2 nautical 
miles an hour, a truly remarkable performance. 
Atlantic was not seen by steamers at all, and as a boat 
said to be Atlantic was reported from time to time it was 
apparent some other vessel was mistaken for her, prob- 
ably Utowana. 
When a message was received from the signal station 
on the Scilly Island that Atlantic had been sighted there 
was great activity on board the German cruiser Pfeil, 
which vessel was anchored at Falmouth. As soon as 
she could get under way she proceeded out to the finish 
line. Had the breeze not been very light Atlantic might 
have crossed before the cruiser arrived. 
After finishing Atlantic continued on to Southampton, 
hoping to make another record to the Needles. The wind 
was too light, however, to accomplish this, and she went 
into Southampton to refit. Atlantic finished on May 29 
at 9; 16 P. M. She averaged 10.6 for the 3,090 covered. 
Hamburg crossed the finish line at 7.22 P. M. on May 
30. Hamburg was the vessel most feared by Captain 
Barr, and the passage she made showed his fears to be 
well grounded. She is about 2oft. shorter on the water- 
line but she is not an auxiliary and was not hampered 
by inside weight of engines, etc., in so undesirable a 
place. It was said by Mr. William Gardner that At- 
lantic would beat Her about a knot an hour, arid that 
was what she did. 
Adolf Tietjens, the syndicate's representative on 
board, was visibly disappointed when he learned that 
Atlantic had won. Hainburg experienced good weather 
and had leading winds. She did not encounter many 
of her adversaries. On May 19 and 20 she was in com- 
pany with Endymion, but on the day following she was 
not to be seen. 
Hamburg made a very fast run even though she was 
beaten, and she lowered Endymion's record by over 18 
hours. Her best day's run was 312 nautical miles. Hain- 
burg covered a course 100 knots longer than Atlantic's. 
The most remarkable feature of the race was that four 
yachts should finish within as many hours of one an- 
other on May 31 after sailing 3,000 miles.
