Chicago, III., March 24. — It is thought that the attend- 
ance at the regatta of the Inland Lakes Yachting Associa- 
tion, at Lake Geneva, Wis., next August, will be so large 
as to overtax the hotel accommodations and perhaps the 
hospitality of the cottagers. One project is to make a 
big camp, after the fashion of a canoe meet. This cer- 
tauily is the best idea that could be conceived for just 
this purpose, and it is to be hoped that it will be de- 
termined upon should the press for room be eciual to the 
anticipations. The camp idea comes from Mr. Ben Car- 
penter, of this cit^^ - . ■ E. H.

was last week towed from Mcintosh's Basin, South 
Brooklyn, to Tregarthen's Dock," at the foot of East 
Seventh street, New York, where she will be overhauled 
and refitted. Wanda was built in 1885 by Piepgras &

142ft. loin. over all, 127ft. 6in. on the water line, iSfr. ■ 
beam, and draws lift. 3in. She was wrecked last No- 
vember by falling on her side in Crane's Drvdock as she 
was being floated. She is now owned by J.'W. Stillivan.
