Long Course For Lusitania.

New York Times 100 years ago today, July 17, 1912:
George J. Gould and Family and Lord Montagu Among Her Passengers.
    The Cunard liner Lusitania sailed yesterday for Liverpool with 460 first, 430 second, and 700 third class passengers and mails. Owing to the strength of the tide the liner was some time getting straightened out. She is going over the ordinary long course and should arrive at Fishguard on Monday morning about 9 o'clock.
    George J. Gould, who sailed with his wife and family, including his son-in-law, Anthony J. Drexel, Jr., and Mrs. Drexel, said that business conditions were good, and that politics did not make any difference now to the prosperity of the United States. He added that he would be gone until the middle of September. The family will stay at Sefton Park, the home of Lord and Lady Decies, and later go to Mr. Gould's estate in Scotland to take part in the grouse shooting.
    Lord Montagu of Beaulleu, who has been making a tour through the United States and Canada, said that this country would have to spend millions on railroad in developing the West, and that Canada had developed the Northwest faster than the people had moved in.
