On July 20 the naphtha launch Bob, owned by Robert Soltau, of 

 New Yo/ k. was found bottom up off Long Beach liife-rfaving Stauon, 

 On the south shore of Lous: Island. Mr. soltau, a wealthy India rub- 

 ber dealer, had owned die boat for some weets, but was not experi- 

 enced in manasiug her. Two days before. In company with his 

 younger broth'^r, Ernest, he loft Eigrhty sixth street, Bast River, New 

 York, to run to Long Beach, where he intended to keep the yacht 

 all summer. That same evenina: the launch was soon ai tempting to 

 cross the bar at Far Rockaway Inlet, and the supposition is that she 

 was rolled over in the heavy sea, and both men were drowned. 



Our report of the Massachusetts Y. O. race of July 15 was incorrect 

 so fai' as Che weather is concerned, the y-ichis crossed thel'ue in a 

 heavy S.W. squall, which held its force thrjugh the whole race, the 

 yachts lugging whole sail, there being no cuance to .stop and reef . 

 Under these trying conditions the race was one of the mcst interesting 

 of the season, ' Oaispaw, sailed by Mr. Stewart, scored a most cred- 

 itable win. 



The latest phase of steam yacht racing is a newspaper controversy 

 between the owners of Yankee Doodle and Norv\ ood, which is likely 

 to result in nothing. Thus far there are no indications of a bona fide- 

 race between any of the yachts, new or obi, this setisoiK 



The steam yacht Sunbeam, recently sunk in Australian waters, 

 was not the well known yacht owned by Lord Bra^'sey, but an older 

 craft built in 1861. She was an iron vessel and her loss was due to 

 corrosion under the engine room flooring. 



The arrangements have been maae for a race for the Pisher cup 

 between Norah. of Belleville, and Onward, of Rochester, to be sailed 

 on July 29 or 80 on the Bay of Quiute. 



On July 18 at midnight the schooner Alert went ashore on Goat 

 Island, Newport, but was hauled off by the revenue cutter Dexter 

 without injury.

"Jerry" Steuber still holds the "shooting" championship of the 

 club, althnugh hard pressed forthe honors (?) by Cnarles E. Bird. 

 The latter alleges 'hat Steuber derives considerable assistance 

 from his (Steuber's) rifle, which it is alleged pulls a little over 

 4l01bs,, for it seems to strengthen his lungs when he gets » 



'•flinger;" in other words, a bad cartridge, or "the gun moved 



just as I pulled the trigger." It is said that -lerry's laurels will 

 De soon taken from him, as C. E. has purchase! a patent lung 

 .'streng' hening maet ine. But appropos, as a team of shooters, 

 Jerry Steuber and 0. E. Bird can'c be beat, and take Jay H. Kay's 

 word for it.

Ever since the N Tth Etd Rifl i Oiui) was orgauized it has beeu 

 customary for its members to annuslly m-'et the memhers of the 

 Lancaster Schuetz u- Verein in friendly routesl, either on the 

 shooting grounds of the latter or ou the grounds of Ihe former. 

 In these contests the North End boys invariably came out the 

 winners, and manv a handsome badge they took from the Lm- 

 caster hoys, and they refusf d to enter into a rontest witli the. 

 North End marksmen where a medal was to be shot for, proftr- 

 ring to purchase a fine gold mediland give it to the member of 

 the Ephra'a team who did the best shooting. 



The contest for the present year W'S arranged some time ago 

 between the captains of these two clubs and was to consist of two 

 matches, the first to be held at Enaleside. Lancaster, the second 

 10 be held on the shooting grounds of the Ephrata Gun Olub. 

 where the North End Club has it range. No medal waa to be 

 shot for in these matches. The Lancaster boys were willing to 

 muster as many men as the Fphrata team could furnish, and 

 have a fi i' ndly bout, a real good time and see wh'ch team could 

 do the best scoring The first match came off severnl davs ago .at 

 Lancaster and proved a "Waterloo" for the Morth End boys. P 

 was not owing to poor marksaianship alone that thevsuflfi red 

 defeat, but ra' her to the very eycellent "hooting by the Lin' as- 

 ter boys, whose scoring was by far the best they ever did ia con- 

 test with the Ephrata team. 



Each team entered 8 men, 10 shots being allowed to each m!in. 

 Out of a possibh' 800 points ti'C Lancaster shooters pcored 59(5, or
