There are two ways to avoid tln-s,- obstacles, 

 rivi rat Dundee and hiring a wagon to take tli 

 son und then taking the canal to Lilt.le Falls. 



The second and better way is to leave the river at Newark and take 

 the canal which runs into and crosses the river at Newark and rhen 

 on to Little Falls. 



About 500 feet above the falls at Little Falls the river runs close io 

 the canal, and a carry of 200 feet lands you from the canal into tin- 



days will be 1 



iy will cost the canoeist from &) to $5 for a wagon, the 

 trill only cost him the price ol a permit on the canal.

THE WINTER CAMP-FIRE. 



HOW TO CHOOSE A CANOE. 



BEFORE trying to s.-itl.- tin- question, -'Which canoe shall 1 

 choose:'' the inquirer would do well to ask bimselt the ouestiuu. 

 "Why should I choose a canoe at all:'' What spe.-ial claims lias a 

 canoe to-say a small caiboai or a rowboat: As a means of water 

 locomotion it will not compare favorably with the latter in speed. A 

 be propelled with the paddle, -either single or double- 

 it is not pos- 

 utilize the 



iiii-d.-d. as rapidly 



aib!e to throw the right weight" into the stroke, 

 strength of the lower limbs, as in rowing. To prcv. 

 sheer of the bow alternately 10 port and starboard, 

 the peculiar side motion of' the Canadian vovageur 

 some, wasteful of lore-, and necessitates an unequt 

 two halves of the body : or the constant use of the r 



power expended on each stroke. "So marked is this 

 do not doubt. 1 am giving the experience of every c 

 saying that 1 have been unable, .luring a nalr-miic 

 keep a small, light canvas canoe, modeled on e: 

 only weighing lolb.s.. abreast of a solidly-built plea
