LONDON, Nov. ga permanent
iceberg lookout ship in mid-Atlantic
is suggested by the British Board of
| Trade as a sequel to the report Of
Lord Mersey on the Titanic disaster.
At present the plan is being con-
| sidered by the advisory committee OF
the Board of Trade. If the proposals
are carried out, the vessel will be sta.
toned in the track of Atlantic travel
and she will cruise along the bound
aries of the ice region. She will then
be in a position to warn the hurrying
liners by her powerful wireless equip
ment of the exact position of various
ice fields. The proposed ship will al
so send warning of drifting ~icebergs
! and any derelicts which she may en-.
counter.
According to reports made to the
| advisory committee, the most suitable
iceberg ship would be about of 1000
tons displacement; $50 feet long and
80 feet broad, with a draft of u feet
6 inches. She would have a speed of
| 10 knots and consume about IL tons of
| coal every "a hours. Her wireless
telegraph equipment would be of the
most powerful type and widest range.
The Board of Trade officials express
the belief that the s%tationing of such
a ship in mid-ocean would add i'm
m%easurably to the safety of ocean
travelling.
American bred race horses have
won more events this year than ever
before or the English turf. Among
them the offspring of James R.
Keane's once famous Splinter, Voter,
figure the most frequently, two of his
sons, Election and Selectman, having
upset theorists on breeding by win
ming long distance races.
Golden Rod and Coney Island, two
English bred grandsons OF J. B. Hag.
gins Emperor of Norfolk, also proved
themselves good winners this season.
August Belmont's Tracery has won
$4S,0 900 and H. B. Duryea's Sweeper
II, 100000 during the year. Duryea
has also won as much more in France
with Shannon, an American bred colt,
sired by the brilliant race horse, Irish
Lad, out of Census by Ethelbert.
The greatest winner of the season
is not American bred but this horse
! Prince Palatine, has been ridden in
all of his STAKE races by the American
jockey Frank DWELL, who comes
from Paris each time the horse races
Danny Maher, who has again taken
his old place as head of the list Of
winning jockeys, has signed a renewa
of his contract for first call on his
services with Lord Roseberry. Mahel
has refused offers of second and thirC
call on his services, and when he i;
not required to ride for Lord Rose
berry he will be a free lance.
