OUTING AT MYSTIC.
Guests of Mrs. S. S. Thresher at Her
Summer Homo at Mystic-Meetings
Start This Month.

There were about thirty members of
the Norwich Round Table who left
here Saturday morning at S.45 o'clock
by trolley via New London for the
summer home of Mrs. S. S. Thresher
at Mystic. where they were most hos
pitabIy entertained during the day.
The Thresher home is i'll a delightful
location which was reached at 1915
O'Clock. There was fine dinner served
by the hostess and in tlle afternoon
many of the party visited the horse
pound under the guidance of Rev. A.
F. Ernshaw, pastor of the Mystic Con-
gregational church. 1t is a trip of
about seven miles through a very rocky
country, it being so named because it
was used by the Indians many years
ago in secreting the horses which were
stolen from the whites. The trip was
greatly enjoyed
On the return the party reached
home between and 9 O'Clock, thor
oughly delighted with the days outing,
which was increased by the charming
hospitality.

Police Boat Crews Graphing for
Bodies.
New York, Oct. ALI day long to-
day police boats dotted the sove in the
river above 157th street. their, crews
graphing for bodies. But their efforts
were without success, not one body
being recovered. Old rivermen who
are we'll acquainted with the treacIl-
erous tides in the Hudson, said they
were not surprised, for when the acct
dent occurred the tide was running up
stream like a milt race with a brisk
wind from the southwest behind it.
This would take the bodies far beyond
the scene of the diseaster and prob
ably it will be several days before any
are found.
Crowds Gather Along Waterfront.
Along the waterfront in the vicinity
of the accident, crowds gathered to-
day, eagerly seeking information. Many
weeping or anxious women We're
among them. They were looking for
news of relatives or friends who had
had shore leave and should have re-
ported on the New Hampshire yes
terday evening The midshipmen on
the landing float were courteous in an
swering questions, but when it came to
the point of giving news they referred
everyone to the officer of the deck on
board the .battleship.
Cause of the Accident
Various versions of how the accident
occurred were in circulation today.
The generally accepted one, however,
was that the barge, heavily loaded
with sailors and marines returning
from shore leave, was towed into the
heavy swells of a passing steamboat.
Rising for a moment. the barge plung-
ed into the trough and was swamped.
Sharp Calls for Assistance.
Instantly the choppy water became
dotted with struggling, shouting men,
intermingled with floating packages,
suitcases and personal belongings,
that the men -o'-warsfT1en were taking
back to the ship. The whistle of the
little steam launch which was towing
the barge rent the air with sharp stac-
cato calls for assistance.
Many Sailors and Marines Picked Up.
Few boats were in the vicinity,
however, for the river was running in
whftecaps, kicked up by the strong
wind. What few there We're put out
quickly. across the 200 yards that
separated the capsized craft and the
shore. Many of the sailors and ma
rines were pulled aboard these boats,
others held tightly to the swamped
barge. Still others, unequal to the
battle with the heavy waves and the
tide, floated upstream and disappeared.

ON BOARD CIRCUS TRAIN.
Wholesale Arrests Made on Arrival of

rious rioting early today aboard the

TALK OF cANCELLlNG
GRAND PRIZE AUTO RACE
To Be Held Over the Vanderbilt Cup
Course November IS.

New York. Oct. 2.--The board of SUI
pervisors of Nassau county. liz l., will
hold special meeting tomorrow to
consider the advisabflity of .cancelling
the permit for the Grand Prize auto
mobile race scheduled to be held over
the Vanderbilt cup course November
Is. Notwithstanding yesterdays list
of four dead and more than twenty
injured incident to the Vanderbilt Cup
contest, A r. P. Arlington, general
manager of the Long Island parkway,
is authority for the statement that
nothing but official interference shall
stop the Grand Prize.
Several drivers booked to participate
in the event have demanded more adj
equate policing of the course, and
tonight William Pickens, manager of
Barney Oldfeld, gave out the follow
ing message which he says Oldfeld
sent from Chicago: Withdraw my
entry from Grand Prize race unless
course will be guarded completely by
tropps. I am unwilling to risk my
neck and carr Oldfield follows with
severe arraignment of the manage
ment of the Vanderbilt race, whom he
says spent nothing to safeguard driv-
erS and spectators.
Any move to cancel the race will be
bitterly fought by many residents of
Nassau county, outside of those di-
rectl yinvolved in the cup races. Au-
tomobiles have made money for the
county in many ways, and the races
have always been favored by those
who derive the benefit. By these it
is argued that yesterdays casualty
list, even though exceptionally large,
was not so startling in view of the fact
that within q few hours something like
100000 or 100000 persons congregated
in an area alive wit hautomobiles on
and off the course. Coming and go-
ing mostly from New York city this
great army moved about thirty miles
at dawn and dusk respectively. 1t is
argued that it is doubtful if this could
be done anywhere with less injury and
accident than occurred.
