THE WASP DISMASTED. The large sloop yacht Wasp, owned by Captain John Prindiville, went out on the lake yesterday for a cruise. The wind was fresh from the west Captain James Jackson was sailing her, and Captain Prindiville and a party of fourteen Board of Trade gentlemen were on board as passengers. They started out for a good time, and had it. The luncheon was most enjoyable. On the return to the city, and when about off Lincoln Park under full canvas, the tall, beautiful mast went out of her. It was sailed out. There was some excitement on board, but no one was injured and no one got very wet. They lay helpless l'or*J a time, when the tug Success happened along and towed them into Chicago. People from Lincoln Park who saw the great sail on the wa! er and the § 'crowd on board thought something terrible had happened, and there were all sorts of rumors. The canvas and gear are chafed some, and the damage will foot up quite au item. It is a fortunate thing for the party that a sudden storm did not come on. _______ THE A.

Portage Lake The,Winslow was the first of the Lake Superior Company's bo; uge and receive i 5tn lust, with 900 ild for Eastern markets. Several of the local agents of this line report business as opening up in usual volume. This is quite likely,! at least in the copper ter-ritory, since the fall in the price of ingot has caused an increased vitality in all the Portage and Keweenaw mines, which will insures lively carrying trade to these boats, on down trips, until the very close of havigation. The Transit Company have put the some boats on the course from Buffalo to Duluth as Jast year, and with the exception of transferring Captain Edward Mooney from the Arizona to the Winslow, and securing the ripe seaman Cap- !U Leonard as master of the Arizona, no changajs occur from arrangements of last year.
