eoUeetjonof canoe photos. Mr. Seavey exhibited a very fine collec- 

 tion of photographs taken by him on various cauoe cruises, his camera 

 always being aa essi at.al part of his outfit. Mr. Sorton proposed the 

 question. "What is a Cruising Canoe?" Several suggestions were 

 made, by way of answer, hut none seemed satisfactory- 

 Mr. Yiit.x mentioned a plan of Mr, Farnham's for a general cruising 

 cauoe. 15ft. -.30m. , and described a yoke, devised and used by Mr. 

 Farnham for carrying canoes. Instead of the ordinary shifting bulk- 

 head ill one pi- .' a rectangular frame is used, sliding in as usual and 

 carrying the backboard This f rami- also has four wooden pins with 

 it, so that it can be removed from the boat, laid with a side, on each 

 shoulder, and the boat- turned over on it. the coamings resting on the 

 ends of pins, in which position the boat may be earned as with an 

 ordinary yoke. Mr. Stepheus suggested a combination of seat and 

 yoke, being a bos about sin, deep, 12in. wide, and a little longer than 

 the width of well, but without top or bottom. Two canvas straps 

 from side to side support it ou the shoulders, the coaming, in turn, 

 resting on the box. When used as a seat a piece of canvas is laced

 of the Point gave us various supplies. The tourists got the best of 

 the bargain in one case, at least, where the head of a lady who had 

 taken great pains in fixing herself up, was cut clean off in the nega-

U. Notes.— The only especially extra articles taken were a camera 

 and plates by the Chemaun, and sketching materials by the Wind 

 Flower. The former was used industriously, but owing to loss and 

 accident only six of the plates are presentable. The sketch-hook was 

 not, used at all. The Chemaun carried a little anchor made of brass 

 wire, which was very useful in still-fishing, and in lying bv close to 

 shore, but as little fishing was done it was little used. The Racine 

 lateen mainsail was found too low set. and yet topheavy. One feels 

 the need in salt-water cruising of high slanting booms to clear the 

 waves. A neat and effective camp-stove was used. It was made 

 after the plans of the captain of the Chemaun, of sheet iron, the dif- 

 ferent sides folding on hinges open on one another, like the tin dinner 

 boxes somewhat, so that trie whole thing, except two small joints of 

 Stove pipe, slid into a flat canvas hag, and took hardly any room in 

 the canoe. The stove heated up and cooled oft very quickly. A good 

 supply of cereals, already cooked, were taken and highly relished 

 with the fresh milk that could be obtained at almost every 

 ■ a place. Sea perch and mackerel were caught and cooked, 

 but the latter were very source this summer. Seats m greatnumbers 

 were passed oi! Fletcher's Seek Black whales were seen twice. 

 The second time a fellow fifty feet long, perhaps, dove about 300 

 yards from one of the canoes and headed right for it. The canoe's 

 head was let off a little to give headway, and the crew were sorauwhat 

 relieved when the black living mass rose and rolled over again, right
