 Mr. Bell's acceptance of Onward's challenge to you at Cohourg. I 

 have just learned that the Onward was not at Cobourg, hence this

 the date July 30. Will be pleased to give you every possible informa-

On ,Iuly 15 at 11 A. M. the tlagship Electra, New York Y. C, with 

 Com. Gerry on board, grounded on the middle Tuckemuck Bhoal, 

 near Nantucket, for which place she was bound. Intrepid, schr., 

 Mr. Lloyd Pdcenix. was near and offered assistance, and the steamer 

 Nantucket parted a hawser in the attempt to haul tlie yacht off. In 

 answer to a telegram from Nantucket, the Boston Tovvboat Co. sent 

 their tug E'sie from Vineyard H.aven, and ai 'J P. M, the yacht was 

 floated, apparently uninjured. She steamed to Viupy.ird Haven and 

 later to New Bedford. The grounding is ascribed to iucorrect infor- 

 mation on one of the private charts, a change in the bell buoy, made 

 some time since, not having been noted, although shown on the 

 Coast Survey charts. 



Mineola, cutter, wan at Wintringham's last week to repair the 

 damage caused by the explosion of July 10. The cause of the ex- 

 plosion is not known, but it was presiunably due to the vapor of 

 naphtha which had collected in the bilge. Although one burner of 

 the naphtha stove was lighteo, it was not extinguished nor was any 

 damage done forward. The whole force of the explosion was about 

 the companion ladder, well aft, there being one very loud report, ac- 

 companied by a llasu, but followed by no fire. The damage was 

 mainly to the deck, which was lifted several inches, the glass and 

 chinaware, and the skylights, which were blown off, the coamings 

 being loosened.

 H. E. ibtiu-tevant and Miss Ella Qilson, guests, saving themselves in 

 the yawl. According to the captaiu, John Masury, the yacht lost her

 repairs The origin of the fire is unknown, as there was no fire in 

 the furnace. The loss is $5,000, insured. 



Prince Karl, cutter, has been hauled out at Wintringham's and her 

 brtllast increased by the aadition of two semi-cigars of iroi^ bolted 

 to the loiver side of her iron keel, forming a bulb. The weight is 

 about l,4001bs.

 off Vineyard Haven,^ losing all but one of her propeller blades and 

 damaging her bows. She made New Beoford under sail.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



We have been informed, and the information ia presumed to be 

 reliable, that a match is to take place between Jacob J'eniz, secretary 

 of the Newark Gun Club, and George Raynor of the same club, the 

 condiiions to be 50 five pigeons per man "for $100 a side. Tbe chal- 

 lenge was a chaffing one from Mr. Raynor and it aroused the old- 

 time en husiasm in "Uncle Jake" who determined to enter the ranks 

 once more and see just how much of his old-time skill he retained. 

 The date has not been definitely decided upon, hut the inatch wili 

 probably take place at John Erb's "'Old Stone House" grounds in 

 Newark. It is a good many years since "Uncle Jake" has faced the 

 traps in a contest, but still we are inclined to think that we will "go a 

 box" on his chance of winning. 



* * * 



The shoot of the New Jersey State Trap Shooters' League to be 

 held at Claremont on Saturday is expected to be a record-breaker 

 in point of attendance, as the grounds are easy of access and well 

 adapted to accommodate a large body of shooters. Sweepstakes will 

 be s*>otfrom 8:30 A. M. and at 2 P. M. the State championship team 

 contest will begin. The fact that targets will cost only two cents each 

 in both the team and sweepstake events will materially increase the 

 attendance. All New Jersey Central trains from New York will stop 

 at the grounds. Tnose coming from Newark should get off at Lafa- 

 yette, which is.only five minutes' walk from the grounds. 



The Boston Herald of July 7.— "Certain inquisitive sportsmen have 

 been prying into the recesses of the covens, just to find out how the 

 young partridge are getting on. Tne report is full of promise 

 Broods are large and healthy, and unless some such mysterious ail- 

 ment as that of last year attacks the young birds between now and 

 the autumn tbe sportsman is not liKelv' to be as disgusted with his 

 luck as he generally was last fall. Two bad years running are the 

 exception, and probably the average per gun for '92 will be consider- 

 ably beiier than it was in 'SI. The noaener, however, is certain to 

 come out on top, as he always does." 



* * * 



The open tournament of the Independent Gun Club to be held at 

 Plain field, N. J. to day and to- morrow wUl dravc a big crowd, "i'argets 

 will be charged for at the uniform rate of three cents each. Blue 

 rook targets will be used. One-half a cent for each target thrown 

 will be divided into five average moneys each day. This should insure 

 a neat purse. The pxogram .comprises events at 10, 15 and 30 targets 

 each, and each alternate event will be at unknown angles from 

 known traps. "Dutchy" Smith will be prime hustler during the 

 shoot.

The Round Bay Gunning Club, of Baltimore, Md., will hold a pic- 

 nic at Acton's Park on Monday, July 25, and the proceeds of the ex- 

 cursion will be applied to the purchase of three solid gold medals to 

 be presented to the men who saved the lives of the eleven persons at 

 the foot of Hanover street, July 3 The presentation speeches will be 

 made by Ed. Thomas, president of the ciub. 



An interesting shoot given by the Carondelet Gun Club was that of 

 the medal shoot July 10, Mr. Labruyere won the gold medal killing 

 sixteen birds straight. In the confusion shoot, which was an inter- 

 esting affair, the score resulted as follows: Branecke 5, Hart 8 

 Schrempp 7, Yockey 3, Loy 6, Roy 5 and Labruyere 7. '

President Baker of tbe Baker Gun Company, while shootmg for 

 practice on the grounds of the gun club at Batavia, N. Y., on July 9, 

 received some copper shreds from an exploding cartridge m bis ri"ght 

 eye, producing a painful injury. Dr. LeSeur was called and removed 

 the particles from the eye.

The members of the Watertown (N. Y.) Gun Club anticipate a big 

 time during the Interstate shoot to be held on July, 26, 27, and 28. 

 The Manufacturers' and Dealers' Association guarantees .$200 on the 

 first day, |350 on the second and $200 on the third. The usual aver- 

 age moneys will be awarded in the classes.

While cutting hay on his farm, near White House, N. J., on 

 July 11, S. K. Large uncovered three nests of quail. He says these 

 birds were never so plentiful in his section as now. But when the 

 gunning season opens he expects ;to have the usual hard time to 

 find the game.

The Savannah (Ga.) Press, of July 8. says: "Gun clubs seem to, 

 have the 'mning' on all other clubs now. Every day or so the pop, 

 poo of their guns can be heard on Hutchinson's Island. Yester- 

 day it was the Fore«t City and Independent clubs. The former 

 won on a score of 103 to 96,"

E. D. Fulford wiites as follows from Bryan, O, : "1 am pushing my
