THE L12LAU1I, M»JT 30.—The ■cbooopr jacht Atlantic, owned by WUaon Mandiuli of the New York Yacht club and captained by Cbarlea Barr, baa woo tbe kalaer'* $0,000 cup In tbc S.000 mile ocean yaclit race, beatluK all recorda acroaa the Atlantic for aalltug craft. Aa tbe Atlantic paaaed tbe winning point off Uaard llgtitbouae at 9:15 p. m. laat night a gun wa» tired from tbe Cemian crulaer 1’fell. tbe stake boat, which arrived early In tbe evening. while rocket* were sent UJV from Lloyds’ signal station and foghorns 'were blown at the lighthouse. The Atlantic proceeded for Cowca. Isle of Wight, Intent on beating the record. After passing Scllly the Atlantic wak becalmed and had twelve hours to drift. At tbe Lixard she met a tremendous sea swell and for some time drifted backward and forward. ' * Captain Barr and Wilson Marshall, tbe owner of the Atlantic, agreed that they bad made a splendid passage, without a single mishap, only exj*erlenclng one strong gale, through which the boat rode admirably. Tbe record sail for one day was 341 knots, which, Mr. Marshall believes, beats anything hitherto achieved. This was made May 24. On May 25 the yacht made 282 knots, on May 20, 179 knots, on May 27, 143 knots and on May 28, 213 knots. The Atlantic jiassed Wolf rock with every stitch of sail set. Her spinnaker was rigged to starlsuml and tbe American ensign was at her peak. Shortly afterward the wind dropped and the spinnaker was taken In. Captain Burr was balled by tbe correspondents’ Unit. He said the Atlantic had made an average speed of ten and a half knots since leaving Sandy Hook. Captain Barr a iso said that none of the competing yachts bad been sighted by the Atlantic since leaving Sandy Hook. The . Atlantic was commended because of her fast record as a race f i-r and'particularly because her •ir was the veteran Captain Barr P defender fame. It was thought any that his skill and experience, coifh-lned with tbe Atlantic's reputed power in all kinds of weather, was an assurance of victory.
