January 17. — It develops now that the Minnehaha, which brought the latest importations of thoroughbreds to this country, met with an accident on the way over. When well on her voyage toward America the Minnehaha collided with an Italian ship, cutting her wide open and receiving such damage herself that it was necessary for her to put back to Qneenstown to have the damage repaired. It is said that the accident cost the Italian ship the life of her captain and one member of her crew and serious damage to the hull and top hamper. Besides the delay incident to her return to Queenstown. it took five days to get the Minnehaha ready for sea again, and all this meant the prolongation of the passage for the thoroughbreds she was carrying.
