WHAT, we should imagine, will be the fastest yacht in the world is being constructed at Bristol, R.. for a gentleman of Port Huron. The builders have agreed that she must run tes miles in five hours, or they will consider the contract can- celled. The estimated cost of this vessel is $50,000.

A MAN named John K. Randolph, living near Pittsburg, believing that the Lord is soon to visit the earth with another flood, is building on ork after the pattern of the vessel of Noah. It is 228 feet in length by 48 in width, and will have a capacity of 100 tons.. He looks for the flood by the middle of October. In the meantime he is making arrangements for the reception of as many representatives of the animal-kingdom as he can find, and is sending invitations to a great number of persons whom he wishes to save. THE largest innings on record was made by the Orleans Club in a match played against the Rickling Green, C.C. on Friday and Saturday, 6th and 7th ulto. When the tenth wicket fell the score stood at 920, of which Mr. A. H. Trevor had contributed 338, Mr. G. F. Vernon 259, Mr. J. C. Partridge, go, Mr. T. J. de Paravicini, 58, and Mr. D. G. Spiro, so. The Rickling Green team were all disposed of for a total of 94 runs.

The previous largest total for a single innings was, if we remember rightly, 773 made by New South Wales against Victoria, when Mr. W. L Mardoch scored 301, Mr. T. W. Garrett 164 and

Mr. S. Jones 109.

COURT of Enquiry into the loss of the steanı ship Europe was held at the Vice-Consulate, Foochow on the 12th instant. It was found that the vessel struck an unknown rock near Shary Peak at the mouth of the Min, and afterwards be came a total wreck. The Captain and Officers were exonerated from all blame, and had their certificates returned. The Court was composed of Vice-Consul Giles, the First and Navigating Lieutenants of H.M.S. Encounter, and Captain Walker of the British brig Rio Loge. Further particulars will be found in our Foochow corres- pondent's letter.

We note that an attempt made by Mr. Kirby to raise the steamship Mary Tatham, which was wrecked on the Japanese coast whilst en route to America with coolics last Autumn, has up- fortunately proved unsuccessful. The vessel was successfully pumped out, and floated, but im mediately afterwards turned right over, and sank in deeper water than before. One life was lost in the attempt. We have not heard whether Mr. Kirby will have another trial or not," but should imagine that after once floating the vessel, he will not abandon the undertaking until suc cess crowns his efforts.

THE shooting season has commenced, and, so far as we can learn, the prospects of sport at the usual haunts are quite up to the average. Last Weck about 50 sportsmen patronised the paddy fields and valley adjacent to Castle Peak Bay

where snipe were plentiful. One party of five bagged 55 brace, and we hear of one crack aliat who scored 23 brace to his own breechlander. Other capital bags were recorded. Great pre- parations are being made for to-morrow, the greater number intending to patronise the Can ton river. The heat was rather trying last week, but there is every appearance of a change for the better. ****

It is reported that a couple of Russian engineers have brought torpedo boats to great practicability. One boat, which is only twelve to fifteen feet long, cigar-shaped, with a propeller worked by four men, and a supply of compressed air, goes under the water at any desired depth. Her nor- mal balance is just below the surface, with only a glass hood above water for the lookout. He takes a sight and bearings, goes under the hostile ship, leaves a torpedo which sticks to the bottom, pays out an electric wire beyond range, touches it off, and the big ship is nowhere. The other does the same on a larger scale, being propelled by steam.
