Schooner Felstedouin Damaged. — Major L. S. Bent's 
auxiliary schooner Felstedquin was badly damaged by 
fire and water in the Philadelphia Corinthian Y. C. basin 
at Essington. The fire was probably caused by the ex- 
plosion of a lamp in the main cabin. The vessel was 
saved from being a total loss by scuttling, but a great 
deal of damage was done before she sank. 
S2-RATER Sonya LAUNCHED. — Sonya, the racing sloop 
built by the Herreshoff Mfg. Co. for Mrs. G. Turner 
Farley, was launched at Bristol on .March 14. The mast 
was stepped and she was rigged with despatch, so that 
she was given a trial on March 16. The breeze was very 
light in the morning, and not much could be learned of 
the boat's qualities. In the afternoon the wind was 
fresher and she was given another trial. This spin was 
most satisfactory to both Captain Nathaniel Herreshoff 
and Captain Fred. Stokes, the boat's English skipper.

menced preparatory to shipping her to England by 
steamer from New York on March 25.

Ittel Used Peters Ammunition. 
■ In the report of the Zettler Rifle Club's Championship 
goUery match, in our issue of last week, the schedule of 
shooters, arms and ammunition correctly recorded that 
Mr. L. P. Ittel used Peters ammunition. By one of those 
vex;:tious errors which occur much to the chagrin of 
those who fall into them, it was stated in the caption of 
one of ittel s ioo-shot record targets. 
the target illustration that Mr. Ittel's cartridges were- pf 
another manufacture. The schedule already referredi-to 
was correct. Mr. Ittel made his wonderful score with 
Peters .22 short cartridges, and the title under the target 
illustration should have read as follows: * 
LOUIS P. ITTEL'S RECORD 100-SHOT TARGET; 
Record score of 2468 out of possible 2500, made by Louis Pr Ittel, 
Pittsburg, at the 100-shot Championship Gallery Match of the 
Zettler Rifle Club, March 1 to 11, 1905, with Stevens-Pope rifle, 
Stevens short telescope sight, and Peters .22 short cartridges. 
Providence Revolver Qub. 
Saturday evening, March 11, several of the members took ad- 
vantage of the invitation of the Saylesville men to try the range 
which they have fitted up there for practice, and the following 
scores were secured for recording: 
At 20yds. on Standard American target— Walter H. Freeman 
(pistol), 87, 75, 80; Arno Argus (revolver), 80, 72, 76; A. C. 
Hurlburt (revolver), 74, 78, 77. 
At 10yds. on 10yd. Standard, 5-shot strings— Argus, 41, 31, 28; 
Hurlburt, 38, 38, 31. 
At 25yds., rifle, German ring target— W. B. Gardiner, 234; 
Brown, 222. 
The change from gas to electric light and echo of the .38's through 
the empty hall gave the visitors an unsteadiness, which did not 
produce good scores. Freeman has been doing no shooting for 
several months, and was not surprised at his falling off. Argus 
and Hurlburt have been devoting their time to the 10yd. "rapid 
fire" scheme of our Louisville friends, and feel flinchy back at 
the 20yd. line and much inclined to snap a floating sight and 
trust to luck to land in the black — with disastrous results.. Variety 
is a good thing, but it is not favorable to regular work.

Competition being the life of trade, it is likewise the life of 
target shooting, and hoping to create more interest in this line 
of sport, this club suggests that each club set forth from three 
to ten members to shoot 25 to 50 shots in competition with each 
other from time to time in friendly matches. To start the ball 
rolling, the members of this club are open to a match at any time 
from any club in the United States or elsewhere. Who will be 
our first antagonist?

Zsttler Rifle Clob. 
The regular shoot was held Tuesday night, March 14, on the 
club ranges in West Twenty-third street, and was not so Well 
attended as usual, coming as it did, so soon after the big cham- 
pionship match, in which so many of the members had taken 
part. High man was O. Smith, with a grand total of 2444 for his 
100 shots, closely followed by A. Hubalek with 2441. Several 
members shot up back scores, to complete those neglected by 
being absent from previous shoots. The scores at 75ft., on the
