E AMENIDAN COMPETITOR,

The following New York dispatch dated March 2nd appears in the San Francisco papers →→→

William K. Vanderbilt is preparing for his annual trip to France, where for the last fifteen years he has maintained a large and costly breeding and racing establishment. His success in that period, especially during the last eight years, has been phenomenal. His horses have won every notable prize on the French turf. The far-famed Grand Prix, worth to the winner $70,000, has been won by one of his colts, while the French Derby has also been taken more than once by horses run- ning in his colours, white, black hoops on sleeves which are better known there. than were James R. Keene's or H. P. Whitney's here. But there is one noted turf trophy that has thus far escaped him -the Epsom Derby, a race which is the natural goal of every turf man in the world. Four years ago Mr. Vanderbilt's Bea Sick u first-class performer in France, was sent across the Channel to run in the Derby, but he was beaten, and the race went to the 100-to-1 chance, Bignorinetta, the property of the Italian

France and possibly better than any Eng- lish rival. When a yearling, Montrose II. was purchased by Mr. Vanderbilt's trainer, William Duke, at a sale at Dean- villo, in 1910, for 813,000. He was bred by Mma Lemaire de Villiers. During the season of 1911 Montrose H. won six out of wine races, and when he was besten in one of his best efforts he was conceding seventeen pounds to the winners. With- out doubt he is the most valued of all the fifty-five horses Mr. Vanderbilt has in training at St. Louis de Poissy.

last eight yeare has been training for Mr. Vanderbilt. All the greatest triumphs of the French turf have been won by Mr. Vanderbilt since Duke took charge of the horses.

The Epsom Derby, which has only about forty per cent. the value of the Grand Prix, is so hedged about with sentiment as to make it the object of every borse-. man's ambition the world over.

Mr. Vanderbilt's borses are ridden by an American, Frank O'Neil, a boy who graduated from the hard school of an un- sentimental, mercenary turf, was brought to New York by Newton Bennington, a turfman of few years back, and soon became one of the most successful jockeys of the day. O'Neil goes to England occa- sionally to ride for Mr. Duryea, when that well-known American turfman starts a

horse in a classic

The chief opponents of Mr. Vanderbilt's colt for the Derby are expected to be Mr. Lomond, White Star and Absurd. Duryea's American-bred colt Sweeper II. (by Broomstick out of Frank Gills' dam, Ravello), is engaged also, but his most ardent friends scarely dare hope that he ean win the Derby. They think he has, however, a capital chance in the Two Thousand Guineas, which is run a month before the Derby, and which is half a mile less in distance. But, as Mr. Belmont tound out when his colt, Norman II., was unplaced in the Derby of 1008, after he had won the Two Thousand Guiness, some horses are not ready for the earlier race and are very much fitter for, the Derby. It does not, of course, follow either that the Derby winner is the best of the year, as the case of Minoru and Bayardo illustrate, but, nevertheless, the name of the man who wins the great Epsom classic This vat--was started by the late Robert Thomnia immortalized, and that is sufficient-com- of Greensok and has been sold as No. 4 since 1831 pensation for any extraordinary effort.

SHIPPING CASUALTIES IN THE LAST TWENTY YEARS.

BOARD OF TRADE RETURN,

Abstracts of the returns made to the Board of Trade of shipping casualties for the year ended June 30, 1911, were issued last month as a Blue-book (Cd. 6093),

The total nuruber of casualties reported to the Board of Trade and tabulated was For 6,607, representing 6,796,029 tons.

the previous year the total number, was 9,716. The total number of lives lost was 4,482, as compared with 4,376. The total number of ses casualties to vessels belong- ing to the United Kingdom, as distinguish- ed from casualties in rivers and harbours, was 4,421, which was less than the total number in any of the previous 19 years.

The number of total losses and serious casualties together was 1,361, which was 122 less than in 1909-10, 158 less than in The 1908-0, and 327 less than in 1907-8. number of total losses was 288 and the total not tonnage 137,000 tons, being 108 lest in number, and 17,713 tons less in net tonnage than the averages (398 vessels and 165,373 tons) for the past years.

It is shown that 7,014 vessels (3,107,468 tons net) of all descriptions belonging to the United Kingdom were totally lost at sea during the past 20 years. The losses of sailing vessels fell from an average of 276 vessels (56,094 tõus net) for the past 20 years to an actual loss of 172 vessels (34,973 tons net) in 1910-11, the figures for sailing vessels being lower as regards number than in any of the previous 19 years and lower as regards tonnage than in any of those years, except the years 1907-8 and 1909-10. The losses of steam vessels were 118 (102,687 tons net), while the average of losses for the past 20 years was 120 vessels (87,970 tons net).

From a table it appears that during the past 20 years 3,808 wrecks and casualties to ships belonging to the United Kingdom were attended with fatal results to 21,700, persons, of whom 18,004 were members of the crews and 3,705 were passengers, pilots, or other persons not on the articles of agreement of the vessels.

The total number of sea casualties which were reported in 1910-11 to have occurred to British vessels was 4.997, the number of total losses being 480 (162,459 tons not). The loss of life by sea casualties to British vessels in 1910-11 was 971, against 1,129 in 1900-10 and 1,428 in 1908-9. The number of missing British vessels in 1910-11 was 29, against 21 in 1909-10 and 17 in 1905-9,

in their final report on Tuberculosis, recently issued, clearly showed that the chief danger to child life resulted from the use of infected cow's milk. To quote one extract: "The Evi dence we have accurauiated goes to demonstrate that a considerable amount of the tuberculosis of child- hood is to be ascribed to infaction transmitted to children in meals consisting largely of the milk of FURBANthe cost."
