FIXTURES. 



Winter Camp-fires.— Nov. 22, 8 P.M., SI07 Broadway, New York 

 Subject: Choice of a Cinoe. 



Secretaries of canoe clubs are requested to send to Forest ako 

 Stream their addresses, with name, membership, signals, etc., of 

 their clubs, and also notices in advance of meetings and races, and 

 reports of the same. Canoeists and all interested in canoeing are 

 requested to forward to Forest ano Stream their addresses, with 

 logs of cruises, maps and information concern n 1 i a I waters, 

 drawings or descriptions of boats and fittings, and all items relating 

 to the sport . 



AMATEUR CANOE BUILDING. 



TN answer to a general demand among canoeists, Forest a.-td Stream 

 •*■ has now in preparation and will publish during the winter a series 

 ot articles on canoe construction, giving such instructions as may be 

 most useful to amateurs and those unacquainted with boat building. 

 These articles will embrace a short chapter on canoes in general, 

 selection of model, dimensions, designing the. canoes, making and 

 working from the model, laying down and making the molds, the 

 tools used, and the actual work of building, rigging and fitting out. 

 They will be fully illustrated. We have no doubt that they will sup- 

 ply a want long felt by the many who enjoy not only sailing but 

 'tinkering" at a boat, as the subject has as yet. been but little noticed 

 in the literature of yachting and boating.

HOW I WON A CANOE RACE. 



OUR club had live members who were specially fond of .-ailing 

 races. After we bad practiced together, and 'carefully studied 

 up each other's ■■points*' ami mishaps, each got to be so ...port and 

 the canoes so evenly matched that frequenily in a race of two miles 

 the boat-, would pass and repast each, ether :„.-,„.- times, and come in 



at the finish oulv a few seconds apari. \ - - a 1- ■■■: a 



new wrinkle in the set or arrangement of sails or knack in lou:,. line 

 the others at once caught the idea and worked on it. Rarely was 

 more than one race won by any single dodge. 



One of the fellows learned to sit on deck to wiudv.ard alto mue.li 

 hard work, many upsets, and by sticking to it till be had the balance. 

 He practiced when alone, and none ot the rest of u> kn~w anrtliiiig 

 about it till an important race came ofl*. He then appeared with a 

 new and larger sail than any one dared to cam- before. By silling 

 onthewinawan-jsiileoiihe deck and carrying fiftv pounds' of shot, 

 ballast in bags on the floor of the cockpit to steady the eraft.be 

 won easily. Before another regatta day though we had the same 

 id new sails, and Mr. Inventor was a sorry third in the race. 



The annual race was to come off, for which the best prize of the 

 year was offered. Each one of us was working hard, and doing an 

 ■ a it lag to hit upon somy new dorlge that would 



give his canoe more "go' 1 



The course decided on was a triangular one- from the club-house 

 tloat. across the channel about a mile, rounding a buoy, thence an- 

 other mile up the hay and around buoy No. •-.', and from there one 

 mile home. On the day of the race the wind was blowing directly 

 up the bay. The tide at the start was just beginning to run out. 

 i :>>■ ■•'-!- a .mo : n . . /. ,, . _. 



In thinking it all over before starting as to just what I should do, 1 

 decided that the best chance of winning was by making good time 

 between the two buoys, where we would have a tree wind but a 

 strong tide to buck against, and thus it would be the longest leg of the 

 triangle, in point of time, to sail over. To do this, it occurred to no 

 that if 1 could put on a little extra sail the canoe would carry it. as ' 

 would get all my weight down low. the canoe not being keeled ove. 

 as she is when sailing on the wind. Without saying a word lo any 

 one- 1 went about it, meanwhile watching the others get their boats 

 ready to see what they were up to and it any of them took an extra 

 sail below deck. Not one of them did, so I felt, easy in my mind. We 

 all got off well together and spun along gaily, with a strong beam 

 wind across channel for the first turn. A pretty sight it was too -the 

 canoes, with two white wings each., skimming out across the bay in a 

 flock together. 



Though 1 got otf first and kept the lead for a time, two of the canoes:
