International
Given Boost
To S15O,OOO
BY DICK O'BRIEN
Star Staff Writer

Later this month John D.
Schapiro. president Of Laurel
Race Course, will take off on
his annual jaunt to Europe to
begin laying the groundwork
for the 18th running Of the
washington, d. c.. Interna-
tional.
European owners and breed
ers probably are going to be
more cordial than ever to the
Laurel executive, because he
will be waving purse money in
the amount Of $4,000 for the
mile-and-a-half Laurel turf
classic, which will be run No
vember IL.
The $15O.O0O represents an
increase Of $4,000 over the to-
tai purse distribution Of last
years race and marks the fifth
time In IL years that the In
ternatfonal purse has been
raised.
In making the announce
ment Of the increased purse,
here yesterday, Schapiro said:
I'VE have increased the purse
because Of our desire to keep
abreast Of other events on the
national and international rae
ing scene"
Ranks With Preakness
AS q result Of the raise, the
international now stands with
the Preakness to represent
Maryland's two richest turf
classics.
Schapiro said the first six
finishers in the 1868 Interna-
tional will share in the purse.
The breakdown is as follows:
500, 900 for the winner, $25, 900
for second, $4,000 for third,
$4,000 for fourth and $1,000
each for fifth and sixth.
The Laurel president plans
to leave June 26 for his MONTH
long journey through Europe.
He will visit Ireland, England.
France and probably West
Germany. The irish Sweep
stakes and the Grand Prix are
two Of the events he plans to
attend, among others.
Schapiro plans to return to
Europe in early october to put
the finishing touches on the
1868 event. He also intimated
that he might visit Latin
America at some future date to
take q first-hand look at the
breeding situation in Venezuela
and several other South Ameri-
can countries.
Russians Compete
In IL previous trimmings the
international has attracted
horses from 16 nations. It is
the only race in the Western
world in which Russian thor
oughbreds have competed.
The International was worth
$4,000 when it was instituted
in 1851. The total subsequently
was raised to SOS, 900, and fl
nally reached 100000 in 1859.
Last year it was raised to

Weather Blamed
New Dustino
Of Snow Seen
For D. c. Area

A new dusting Of snow was
predicted for today in the
Washington area.
Indications were that the new
snow, coming after the 16 inch
es that have fallen this sea-
son would end this evening. No
forecast was made of the ex-
pected amount. but the predic-
ton called for snow from dawn
until after sundown.
All day yesterday, the
Weather Bureau eyed the new
disturbance moving eastward
from the Midwest and Dixie,
but the forecaster was unable
earlier to say whether the
District area would receive
snow, rain, sleet or no precipi-
tation at all.
However, late last night the
forecast was changed to light
snow. Tomorrow is expected TO
be cloudy, with a high OF about
40 degrees.

Mount Vernon
Sinks al Pier
Excursion Boot
Rests on Bottom
Of Icy Channel

The Wilson Line excursion
steamer Mount Vernon, which
has carried millions of sight
seers up and down the Poto-
mac in the last twenty years.
sank in 36 feet of icy water
and silt at her pier in the
Washington Channel yester-
day afternoon.
The 675-ton. 2O0-foot- -long
vessel went down by the stern
a few minutes before / pm.
The sinking was as sudden as
it was mysterious.
One minute the white-and-
yellow excursion boat was sit
ting gracefully at Pier 4, just
off Maine avenue at N street
S.W. Suddenly, she was settling
silently into the ice-coated
channel.
Only Five Minutes
"The whole thing couldn't
have taken much more than
five minutes" said Police Pvt.
r. c. Dido of Harbor Pre-
cinct, who watched in amaze
ment from the Fire and Police
Marine Pier about 100 yards
downstream.
A paSserby called tf' Dis
trict fireboat at 1851 pm. to-
report that the Mount Vernon
appeared to be sinking, but by
the time the firemen made it
the short distance upstream,
the steamer was almost on the
bottom.
"The bow went way up in the
air and then the ship leveled
off as the water came pouring
in," reported Pvt. Dido.
The Mount Vernon lurched
to starboard as it sank, crush
ing the railings on the main
and promenade decks against
the pier. She settled into the
muck with the stern barely
inches away from the Wilson
Lines Chippewa Chief, which
was tied up at right angles to
the Mount Vernon. The Chip
pewa Chief escaped damage,
and was moved later in the
afternoon.
Weather Blamed
The cause of the sinking was
not Immediately discernible,
although firemen tended to
blame it in some way on the
weather, with its alternating
freezes and thaws.
