PORfiSt AND STREAM: 
Dama^ Done by the Recent Gale. 
The recent heavy southeast gale that visited the 
vicinity of New York on Wednesday; Sept. i6, did 
great damage to the j'acht fleet. 
The Gravesend beach shows working schooners arid 
tions relating to displacements, centers, stabiHty, 
strength and propulsion; the types and methods of 
hull construction in wood and steel, and the theoretical 
principles of design. Between two and three months 
are required to complete each course, and day and 
evening classes can be arranged to suit the stuaents. 
THE WRECK OF THE STE.A.M YACHT FULCONIS AND THE SLOOP 
CORLETTA. 
yachts piled promiscuously along the shore. One large 
schooner capsized lies off the beach with one side and 
her topmasts partly above water. 
Some j'achts sank at their moorings, others came 
almost unharmed, high and dry on the sand— others, 
and there were only too many so — came in against 
the piers and walks and ground themselves all to 
splinters.

chelle, shows every one of the three floats smashed 
to bits. 
Adelaide, owned by J. Dwyer; Sneaker, F. W. Vulte;

PyxIE ON THE ROCKS WITH HER STARBOARD SIDE TORN OUT, 
gether on the beach. Gossip dragged in on the rocks 
and sank in deep water. Others ashore were the Car- 
rie, Sasqua, Katrina, Nonie, Abcona and Edna. 
Off Larchmont things were just as lively as our 
illustration will show. Pyxie, 23ft. waterline, 36ft. 
over all, designed by Mr. Wm. Gardner for Mr. Oswald 
Sanderson and built by Wood, of City Island, in 1892, 
came ashore and pounded all hef starboard side in on 
the rocks at Umbrella Point. 
The sloop yacht Corletta went high and dry among 
the rocks farther around the point in a little cove, with' 
the exception of a chewed up keel, a bent rudder and 
broken bowsprit, she was not much damaged, but the 
steam yacht Fulconis, launched from City Island about 
a month ago for Mr. C. W. Holtz, came ashore at the 
same place and broke all to pieces, blockading the 
Corletta. The steamer's bow was chewed all to 
splinters, her decks broken up, making a total wreck 
of her. G. Davis.

Rifle and Revolver Matches at the Old Guaid Fait. 
The shooting committee appointed by Major S. Ellis Briggs, 
chairman of the executive fair committee of the Old Guard, to 
build galleries for rifle and revolver shooting in Uie basement of 
the Madison Square Garden and plan matches to be shot during 
the Old Guard fair, which will occupy Madison Square Garden 
throughout the week opening Monday, Oct. 5, has almost perfected 
its plans. The shooting committee is presided over by Col. Leslie 
C. Bruce, of the .Old Guard, who recently led the American Rifle 
team to its great international triumph at Bisley, England. Capt. 
Thomas W. Timpson is vice-chairman, and Lieut. Lee R. Towns- 
end, secretarj'-treasurer. The other committeemen are: Capt.

Seybel, Lieut. C. H. Rockwell, Lieut. Thomas H. Keller, Lieut. 
J. W. Miller, Sergt. Ered T. Adler and Sergt. James McNevin. 
The committee has contracted for the building in the Garden of 
the most complete outfit of ranges and accessories for rifle and 
revolver shooting ever erected for an indoor temporary occasion. 
The ranges will be in charge of the Zettler Brothers, and will be 
opened at 1 o'clock and until 11 o'clock P. M. each day of the fair. 
The committee has already secured cash and merchandise prizes, 
the latter chiefly guns, revolvers and shooting equipments, amount- 
ing in value to over 11,000. 
The events— details and prizes to be published later— already 
arranged are: Rifles— Continuous match, open to all; souvenir 
point target match, open to all; 50-shot interscholastic match, 
open to pupils of any school, for special prizes. Revolvers — Re- 
entry continuous match, for any revolver, to be shot on Standard 
American target. Rapid-fire match. It is probable that the com- 
mittee will add to this list and that the additions may include 
both rifles and revolver competitions for the members of the 
press visiting the fair.
