of twenty days duration. The ship car

The vessel Is the first to arrive under the
provisions of the Presidents proclama-
tion subjecting vessels to twenty days de-
tention at quarantine.
She sailed from Glasgow on Sept. and
from Moville the following day. All
went well for two days. On Sept. 4, how
ever, at 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon, the
coupling bolts OF the after crank shaft
broke, necessitating the stoppage of the
engine. The ship lay to until $50 o'clock
the next morning when she resumed her
trip. At 7:10 o'clock in the evening of
Sept 8, the coupling bolts of the main
shaft broke, and she again lay to for re-
pairs. The accident this time was of a
more serious nature. 1t required three
days. fifteen hours and thirJy-ive min
utcs Of almost constant labor to repair
the damage.
On the morning of Sept. 0 she again got
under way. At that time the Ethiopia
was off the north coast of City Island. A
third break down occurred at about noon
on the following day The vessel was
stopped for an examination of the con-
dition of the repaired shaft. The exami-
nation proved satisfactory and after an
hours delay the Ethiopia resumed her
course
The chapter of accidents was not at an
end however, for on September IL, the
coupling bolts of the after shaft previ-
ously repaired gave out, and the vessel
was forced to stop until the afternoon Of
the 18th. She proceeded on her way after
this at half speed without accident and
arrived at the bar yesterday morning
A supply of food and water was sent to
her at once. The quarantine officials say
that the passengers were in good spirits
and no cases OF cholera or other infectious
disease were found on board.

Three days OF glorious weather coming

enormous. The fences along the race
track were obscured by crowds Of men

dreds on both sides of the track. The
grand stand was crowded and all around
the stock pens people surged and pushed.
The Ladies' Exhibition Hall was literally
packed with people all day and the ex.
hibits were praised very highly. Agri-
