A GENERA for Competition.

At meeting of the Camera club, Satur-
day night, Mr. Carleton of the Rochester
Camera company, was present and gave an
informal lecture with particular reference
to lenses. He made liberal offer to the
club. He presented a S25 camera as an
object of competition among the members OF
the club. Each member is to take the
camera for two days and make a certain
number of snap shots, the object to be a
moving one, so that there can be no doubt
as to the snap shot. Then a committee will
decide as to the excellence of the pictures
and award the camera accordingly.

CAPTAIN William Leavitt left at six
O'Clock Saturday night. for the scene OF
the wreck of the bark Elmiranda, on the
eastern end of Long Island. He was &C.
companied by Captain Humphrey, OF
the Portland Marine Underwriters, who
has insurance on the vessel. Ihey
intended to go to New London and hire
a tugTto take them across to the wreck.
They should have arrived there yester-
day morning by 9 or 10 O'Clock, but no
message has yet been received. The
only messages received here were two
kilograms Saturday; one to Chase, Leav-
lit & Co., saying that the bark had
gone ashore and was full of water, and
the other from Captain Williams to his
daughter at Knightville, saying, ELM
iranda gone; crew all saved; self and
Henry all right"
Henry, is his son, who went on the voy-
age for his health. This telegram seems
to imply that the bark is total wreck,
and that the crew were in more or less
danger. Information has also been re-
ceive here that the Merritt Wrecking
Company of New York had started for
the wreck and may possibly save it.
They have such enormous pumps that
they are able to pump the coal out OF
sunken vessel in a stream like water
The bark was laden with coal, and may
be on the way to New York by this
time. The absence of kilograms from
Captain Leavitt is possibly because at
that end of Long Island the telegraph
offices are not open on Sunday.
1.-THE Elmiranda was built in Stockton,
Washington county, an was of 623 tons
burden. Two sea captains built her and
sailed her alternately annually. Each
wished to name her for his wife, and
they compromised the matter and named
her Elmiranda, because the wife of one
was named "Elmira" and the wife of
the other Miranda"
sShe was purchased by Chase, Leavitt
& Co., and Captain Alvin Hall of Deer
iiig. of the Maverick Bank of Boston, in
1889, The sale was effected in President
Potter's famous private office.
Captain Hall sailed her for about two
years, making trip to Scotland, thence
to Buenos Ayres and so home. He sold
out to Chase, Leavitt & Co. and Cap
tain Williams of Knigh tville took his
place.
He left here with her last July, with
spool wood, for Scotland. was detained
there long while because of the coal
miners strike, but finally got his cargo
of coal and sailed to Demerara, thence
wsnt.to Cuba. and got cargo of sugar
for NewYork Arrived there month
ago, the sugar refners' docks were
crow ded, and she was granted demur-
rage; that is she was granted damages
for waiting. She waited 20 days and
received several hundred dollars. She
started for here with 900 tons of coal for
Ell. Sargent & Co. The coal was in
sured. The vessel was partially insured.
