The discovery was made yesterday
that during the interim from last Wed~

Cornell, anchored off Dorian Point. had
been broken into,“ nd all the cushions
some articles of c othing. and a num-
ber of furnishings Of the boat had been
stolen. The loss-Mill amount to quite
a sum. Mr. Cornoli will make an effort
to have the guilty‘ artles apprehended
and punished. it ‘s believed that the
thieves do not live far away. and are
ifamlllar with the boat and surround-
ings in the harbor.

An attemptwas made to steal the
boat. also. The boat is equipped with
a naphtha auxiliary engine. and the
only thing that saved the craft item
being taken. was u out of the way

teries Were turned on, but the would~be
robbers were at a'loss where to find

Senator Ferris's Trotter Ban Wilkes
Showed up Well and Travelled
Fink—Bonnie 6. All Right
Again.

Mr. Winegar, who has a string of
fast horses at the Fair Grounds ata-
bles, surprised everybody Saturday, on
the Speedway. by beating one after
another every fast horse there. Includ~
ing' Grant Thornton, Bonnie 0., Clip.
Ban Wilkes, and a number of others.
There was a general expression of re-
gret that Mr. Tariov's Tousurell could
not measure strides with him. Tousur-
all. however, was in the barn seriously
sick.

The new champion was the chestnut
pacer Harry Jones. one of the fastest
of the. New York Speedway flycrs. and
who has met such wonders as Cob-
webs and the best of the horses on
that great drive of famous stoppers,
and has as his record even strides. at
least, with the very fastest. and a bet-
ter ciipthan most of-them. The horse
has a mark of 72:17, is a showy travai-
ler; has fine conformation. drives cas~
fly-.andvapparently do of coconut (lis-
posltion. He was certainly a surprise
party to all oftheai Saturday.

There was the largest assembly ever
soon on the Speedway since its open.
ing and at the conclusion of the ball
game between the R if: (3's and the
Winnipauks, it was so jammed for half
an hour that speeding was Impossible.
On afternoons of ball games it would
be much better to drive at the original
hour, 4 o'clock.

Senator Ferris‘s Ban Wilkes had
several brushes with the pacors. there
not being a trotter for him to go with.
In Mr. Vanderbcrg's hands he showed
well and travelled fast. Bonnie (i. has
recovered. and went as fast as usual.
The tough little pacer Clip improves
every time she goes over the road, and
was well up with the best of them.

One thing is sure. Norwalk has
some very fast stoppers. and we won-
der why some of the adjoining towns
do not send over some of their best
horses to go with them. There will
always be good horses on the Speed-
wny pleasant , Saturday afternoons.

The Largest Number of People Pren-
ent Eevor in Attendance at an
Amateur Ball Game In
This section.

The R it G's defeated the Winni-
paiiks Saturday afternoon by a score
of three to two, in a, game that was full
of excitemeht from start to finish. The
attendance was the largest that has
ever turned out to see an amateur
game In this section, and at times the
cheering was deafening.

Both Dowd and McGrath pitched
good half. but Dowd received better
support.

The R a 0'8 secured a n in their
half of the first inning. 0 bill went
out on easy grounder to first base.
George Lauder received a base on
balls, stole second, and scored on an
error by McCarthy of Schumann's
grounder. Lauder went out. Dunbar
to Moore, and Burke flied out.

in the third the R a 0‘s added anoth-
or tally. Cahlll was hit with a pitched
ball. stole second and scored on Schu-
mann’s single to center field. In the
sixth the Winnipauks tied the score.
P. McGrath struck out, but Dunbar put
one in deep center field for two bases.
Whonc hit the air three times. but not
so with liaggerty. He banged out a
single. which scored Dunbar. Haggerty
stole second and came home when
Griffin put a safe one in right field.
Moore knocked a fly that George Lau-
der captured after a long run.

in the R & ti's half they again tools
the load. Will Lauder received a free
pass. got to second on an error by
Griffin. and started home on O’Brion’s
grounder to McCarthy, who tried to
nap him lit the plate. but failed. In
the ninth inning McCarthy get first
base on an error by W. Lauder. .I.
Mcilrntli knocked it grounder to Cu-
bill. which he fumbled. but advancing
a base on it passed ball. With two on
base and no one out, It looked as if the
Winnipauks would score. P. McGrath
was the next man up. and he sent a
grounder to W. Lauder. Right here
something happened that set the R is
G rootsrs wild with delight and ended
the game. After P. McGrath's ground-
er to Lauder, with no one out. the side
was retired without another ball being
pitched. Lauder threw home and
caught McCarthy at the plate. then
Mack sent the ball back to third and
caught J. McGrath. louder passed the
ball to Cahill. who walked own to
second and touched P. McGrath. who
was off the base.

There were some disputes with too
umpires. but on the whole. their deci—
sions were very fair.

VICTORIA. B. 0.. August iii—The
steamer Islander. the flagship of the
Canadian Pacific Navigation fleet, and
the largest and fastest passenger steam-
er on the Victoria-Skagway route. col-
llded with an iceberg off Douglas ls-
land. Alaska. while on her way south
with the largest number of passengers
that she has carried since she was re-
placed on the run a few months ago.
and sank within fifteen minutes after
striking. Captain Fonts. her master,
and about sixty-five persons, including
passengers and members of the crew.
were drowned. To add to the horror of
the terrible disaster. her boilers ex-
ploded as she went down. causing the
death of many of those who were
struggling in the water. The steamer
left Skagway in the evening of Wednes-
day last. and was proceeding out of
Lynn Canal when the collision occur-
red. Most of the passengers and the
members of the crew who were In had
were rudely awakened by the shock.
The majority got on deck in time to be
saved in the boats which were quickly
manned. but a large number went down
in their staterooms. Some of the sur-
vivors arrived last evening, by the
steamer which passed over the scene of
the disuster‘on the following evening.
and picked them up at Juneau, to
which city they had been taken.

The news came as a terrible blow to
the citizens of Victoria, many of the
lost being well known and having fam-
llies In this city. and was particularly
sudden, as the steamer had been ex-
pected. and many were awaiting her
arrival when the Queen came in with
the news it is Impossible at present
to obtain a complete list of the dead, as
Purser Bishop remained at Juneau. to
attend to the forwarding of the par:-
aengcra and kept the ship’s papers with
him. He sent a letter to Mr. Vincent.
secretary of flip company. but gave only
a few names of those who had been lost
and no details of the wreck. The offl-
ccrs and passengers who came down
were likewise unable to give any but a
very incomplete list. All estimate the
loss of life at about sixty-five, and give
the greatest praise to the officers for
the manner in which they acted under
the most trying circumstances. The
officers. on the other hand. state that
had the passengers not rushed for the
beats. the loss of life would have been
very small. The survivors were landed
on Douglas island. and the mate was
sent to Juneau for help. the sicnmcr‘s
Flossle and Lucy responding. and tak-
Ing them to Juneau. A small amount
of gold on board, was saved. The pa—
pers containing $10,000 was left In the
purser’s safe, the balance in his posses-
sion being returned before the steam-
er sank. '

The city council of Juneau promptly
secured Decker‘s Hall. which was hast-
Ily converted into a lunch room and
resting place. where the survivors could
warm up with hot coffee and suitable
foods. All other assistance possible
was also extended to the survivors.
Among the passengers lost were:

Mrs. Ross. wife of the governor of the
Yukon territory. her child .and niece:
Dr. John Duncan, of this city; W. G.
Preston and bride, of Seattle: 1“. Mills,

it has been- the paramounttai'nbition
of the irrepressible “Sam" Bonner, of
Norwaik. to take a ride in sn‘automm

with his gasoline tank nearly empty.
He stopped the “auto" and asked the
way to Bridgeport. and also where he
could refill the tank. Just about that
time Sam stepped up to the “auto"
and volunteered the declaration that he
would give his life for a ride In an
automobile. The chauffeur offered to
let him satisfy his hankering a little
cheaper, and told him if he would pilot
him to a place where he could get a
supply of gasoline he could come along.
Seconds are Inadequate to describe the
celebrity with which Bonner placed
himself upon the seat of that automo-
bile. Sam gesticulated that he was all

right. just ask anybody you come to if
they don’t know Sam Bonner," blurted
out Sam. This last seemed to satisfy
the chauffeur's mind in regard to Sam.
The. latter. when he rode through town
carried an expression on his face that
would do justice to the most aristocrat-
ic personage in the world.
