Schooner IoIanthe Of Gloucester

ALSO LONG OVERDUE
Gale Still Raging in Lower New
York Bay and at Sandy Hook
-Cunarder Etruria, From Liv-
erpooI, Due Yesterday But Has
Not Been Sighted

Gloucester, Dec. 14.-Foundered at
sea. a victim of the recent terrible
storms which have ragged in the North
Atlantic, the schooner Iolanthe, with
her captain, julius Olsen, and her crew
of Is men, is believed to have gone
down.
The Iolanthe sailed from this port 12
weeks ago for the western banks on a
fishing trip. and since then has been
heard of but once, when she called on
her way to the banks at Liverpool, N.
S., to leave one of her crew who was
i'll. An unconfirmed rumor was that
the vessel was seen about four weeks
ago standing in toward the Nova
Scotia coast
Although it is possible that the YES
sci may have been disabled in a storm
and her crew picked off, this hope has
practically been abandoned, and unless
her owner, Loring B. Haskell, re-
celves tidings Of her by Mondey, he
will give up his last bit Of faith that
the crew may have been saved, and
both he and the relatives of the crew
will be compelled to conclude that the
vessel was lost with all on board.
All of the crew except one were I'M
married, some of them leaving rela-
tives here.
The Iolanthe was of IA tons, built in
Essex in 1888 and was valued at $4,000
with her outfit. She is insured for
1 S.i -ssei AID $1,000 on outfit.
| While hopes Of the safety of schoon-
err Eliza A. Parkhurst Of this port,
! Capt John McKinnon have not been
given up as yet still grave anxiety is
| left as to the fate of that vessel She
| secured a cargo or herring at New
| foundland and sailed from there about
three weeks ago, since when she has
not been heard from. The Parkhurst
is of 121 tons, carrying a crew of about
eight. She is owned by Davis Bros, of
| this city.
New York, Dec 14-In the lower bay
and at Sandy Hook the southerly gale
was blowing with great force at mid
night. An unknown steamer came in
from outside and anchored in quaran-
tine during the evening, but the sea
was too rough for any attempt to
board her to get her name by the
marine reporters.
The Cunarder Etruria. from Liver
pool and Queenstown, which was due
today was not sighted, though she
could have arrived and anchored out
side Sandy Hook bar during the night
without being sighted, owing to the
thick weather.
No damage from the storm was ap-
parent to shipping about the harbor,
as vessels had all plenty of time to
make snug for It. Large numbers of
ocean steamers left port in the early
part of the day but a great many
coasting steamers which regularly sail

Hall and McLaren, Fredericks and
Jaak and Lawson and Julius were
scored officially, though the teams had
left the race previous to the finish.
The prizes the riders commended for
were seven In number, as follows:
First prize $500; second prize, $1,000;
third prize, $3.50; fourth prize $780,
| fifth prize, $780, sixth prize, $3.50;
seventh prize, $3.50. The management
is expected to pay the training ex-
| penses of all the men whe remained
on the track the alloteG six days
! The people had seemingly been cheer
ing at the tops of their voices all even
ing but there was reserve force in their
lungs and, as Bobby Walthour led
over the tape the flags in the garden
gave an extra futter as the deafening
shouts were waited to the rafters.
Some howled, others stamped and
| others fairly raved in their mad ex-
element, while others gave vent to
their stress of feeling by smashing
chairs and boxes.
No sooner had the leaders crossed the
line than thousands rushed toward the
track and the rails were torn from
| their fastenings. Hundreds were I'M
mindful of the fact that their clothes
were being torn, their shins being
barked and their ribs crushed.
When the pistol shot announced the
| beginning or the last mile rang OUT
Butler was in the lead, with Wilson
and Walthour third. The three
watched each other like hawks. In the
| second lap Walthour shot to the front
and held that position throughout the
third lap and into the fourth. In the
fourth Butler again forged to the front
and stayed there until the eighth lap,
| leaving Walthour second, then Wal
thour, by a heroic effort, got the lead
again, Babcock being second and Will
son third
The two shots that signallzed the be-
ginning of the last lap caused Wal
thour to exhibit a marvellous burst of
speed, hardly greater, however, than
that Of Wilson, who tackled on to
Walthours rear wheel and hung on.
The two fairly flew around the track,
soon leaving the bunch and so con-
tinuing until the finish. Walthour
crossed the tape two yards in the lead.
