YACHTING NEWS NOTES. 
For advertising relating to this department see pages ii and iii. 
The following charters have been made through 
Manning's Yacht Agency: The steam yacht Viking 
for Mr. Franklin Haines, to Mr. W^alter L. Clark, and 
the houseboat Nirodha, to Sir Thomas Lipton. 
It W 
. The cutter Wenonah, owned by Mr. S. Montgomery 
Roosevelt, was in collision with the fishing steamer 
Falcon, on the evening of Aug. 12. The accident hap- 
pened about 9 o'clock, when the boats were about two 
miles west of Faulkner's Island. The yacht's sailing 
lights were burning brightly at the time, and as the 
night was clear there seems to be some mystery why 
the steamer ran Wenonah down. When the vessels 
came together the yacht was dismasted, and three of 
the crew were knocked overboard. The men were all 
rescued. The impact of the collision upset the lamps 
below and set the boat on fire which, after hard work, 
was extinguished. The two Japanese stewards were 
badly burned and were sent to New York for treat- 
ment. The steamer Falcon towed Wenonah into New 
Haven. The yacht was so badly damaged that she will 
be broken up and sold for junk. Wenonah was de- 
signed by Mr. J. Harvey and built by Mr. Henry 
Piepgrass at Greenpoint in 1882. She was 72.4ft. over 
all, 6oft. waterline, 13.7ft. breadth and lO.sft. draft.

Sparta Gun Club. 
Sparta, Mo., Aug. 13. — ^Appended are the scores made on our 
grounds to-day, 15 targets per man. 
We are a new club, only organized this spring under the Inter- 
state rules, with exception of distance. It seems we have gotten 
a hard lot of "birds," as it is almost impossible to make a good 
score from 16 or 18yds. ; but all of us being "new" at the game, 
probably accounts for low scores. 
Johns, being high gun, won merchandise prize; also high on 
trophy for this week. We have offered for high average from 
July until we close season in October, a solid gold medal, which 
makes the competition very keen. Hiles leads on this:
