Important developments in the dispute over whether the American fishing schooner Mayflower will be eligible to participate in the International Fishermen's Race this year are expected, signaling potential changes in entry rules and participation.
A special meeting of the American race committee is set for tomorrow evening in Gloucester to discuss agenda items related to upcoming events. The notice calls for attendance by committee members and interested parties.
W Starling Burgess designer of the Mayflower will report on his conference with Halifax trustees over the silver race trophy. He says the understanding favors the Mayflower remaining an American contender and notes clearer admissibility. Burgess then met Mayflower Associates at 50 State Street Boston seeking an immediate American committee meeting.
Absence of two committee members forced postponement of the meeting. Burgess reportedly carried proof that the Mayflower is a fishing schooner with greater carrying capacity than any African fishing schooner and that its rig could be altered to meet trophy rules. The vessel has been active on the banks last year with sizable catches.
Fragment mentions a pohooner capable of carrying 425000 pounds via ballast. Reader can infer vessel capability and ballast usage. No further context or details provided.
Four freight cars and a caboose wrecked when a north bound passenger train struck a milk train in Bethel on the Danbury Norwalk branch. A heavy fog was blamed. Three railroad workers in the caboose jumped to safety and the passenger engine crew escaped injury.
