New York. May If. Th German
schooner Hamburg was leading tbe
ocean race for the kaiser cup early
Thursday, mornlna 'according to re
ports brought In by the steam yacht
Oneida, which followed the racers ISO
mile out from 8andy Hook. A mll
and a half behind the .Hamburg,, wai
the Atlantic on the same tack' and
footing at a great rate. Both boats
were crowding on all the sail they
could handle close hauled, and were
beating against the 15-krn , brerezt,
blowing from the. northeast. : I
E. C. Benedict, owner of the Oneida,
was on board and whn he haadea
back to w York at dawn Thursday
the weather wa so thick that nothing
could be seen of the other contestants
In the trans-Atlantic race until 19
o'clock yeaterday morning when tht
Atlas was sighted. So waa only fi
miles out and th Oneida wai not
able to learn what had delayed her,
She arpeared to be making good head
way and to be driving hard to make
up lost ground. The other vessels In
;h fleet scattered early In the race,
and are probably hurrying In widly
divergent courses.
In the time elapsed from the tart
of th ra.e until the Oneida turned
back th Hamburg and Atlantic had
made good progress, footing fast all
th way. Both boat were admirably
handled and took advantage of every
possible point.
The showing made by the Hamburg
waa a big surprise to those watching
her and the opinion waa expressed by
the returning yachtsmen that If the
German yacht and the Atlantic have
equal luck with the weather, they win
furnish as pretty a race a could be
wished for. the issue probably depend
ing on th choice of a course. Both
are) likely to go well to the north,
I . ..
winiHiug ganger to me limit or reas
onable safety, hoping to get strong
winds in the northern circle.
As to the Allsa It is urmt.ed ;ati
must have met with an accident hav

Whatever the trouble was. It had been
repaired for no sign of disability Waa
apparent to the Benedict party.
