has q way Of never doing things by

has made . very thorough job Of his
great deer park IN New Hampshire
II was something like three years ago
that the fame Of Mr.. Corbin's deer park
on Long Island, then well established,
began 20 be noised abroad lie had put
the 1eer which had been presented to
HIN out 10 grass. and imported q lot Of
elk from Montana TO keep them COM
pary and had hired q wonderful Irish
man named Mike TO take care of them.
This was really tho beginning of the
great Corbin game park-the mustard
Sod from which the bigger park has
gyown. The Long Island deer farm
Aourished, but the climate wasn't suit
able for tho northern species of deer,
and, besides, Mr.. Corbin wanted moro
room than Re could get at Babylon,
where land Is held at pretty high aero
prices cnd millionaircs arc "a plenty as
blackberries- He wanted space and
verge enough for lots of animals to
thrive without fighting each other and
under entirely natural conditions and
it occurred to him that big slice Of
land mp among the famous abandoned
farms'' in New Hampshire would
answer all the conditions Of
climatic fitness, chcapness and
pleasant aspect which he had estab-
lished in his mind Probably tho de-
cision was influenced somewhat by the
fact that away up in the foothills Of the
White mountains still stands the old
Corbin homestead with It's precious heir
iooms-the cradle which had rocked
dozens Of Corbin babies 20 sleep, the
dishes from which they had eaten sa,np
and milk, the quilted coverlids, tho tall
clock which had ticl<-tocked and tho

WITH GREAT LOSS OF LIFE
A DISAsTROUs COLLISION IN
THE BAY OF GIBRALTAR.

The Anchor Line Steamer UtOpis
Rum Into by a British Ironclat
and Over 500 Passengers, Ital
ians, Drowned.
GIBRALTAR, March 1S.-The ancho,
line steamer Utopia. collided Yesterday
with the British ironclad Rodney Will,
entering the bay here.
1t is calculated that of 700 Italian
emigrants and the crew on board the
steamer $40 persons were drowned.
Several bodies of those who lost their
lives in the disaster have been washed
ashore on the Spanish coast.
An account OF the disaster attributes
it to the fact that the British warship
Anson was drifting before the gale and
in SO doing rammed the Utopia abaft her
funnel. After ramming the Utopia down
the Anson reversed her engines. thus
backing away from the Utopia and
leaving open the great hole in
her side made by the ironclad. The
Utopia almost Immediately afterwards
sank.
Everything possible was done by the
otflcers and seamen of the British war
ships in their efforts to save life and four
seamen were washed overheard and
drowned from one of the war ships,
steam launches while taking part in the
work Of rescue.
VI the Utopia, Captain McKeague,
ana the ships doctor, boatswain, chief
steward and carpenter, were saved

ably never before been witnessed in tb.

side was the sinking passenger steamship
crowded with seven hundred emigrants,
VINO hlied the air with wild, horrible ap-
peas tor help and with shrieks of terror.
overhead the dark clouds rushed furi-
ously along, driven by the strong south
west gale which had been one of the
causes OF the calamity. Right aud lett of
ne sinking vessel were the two monster
oattle ships, Rodney and Anson, pouring
he light of their powerful electric reflec.
