 A C.^NOR Trip.— We have received a copy of " A Canoe Trip," 

 made last summer by Mr. I'. H. Se-\-monr. This little book, pub- 

 lished b;. tl .7' -';■,' Frt-e I^ress, will be interestmg reading to tlia 

 laddiii: ■ , ..:id we welcome the addition to .\mericau lit- 



eratni- . bich wiU do much good in leading tbe publio 



to .grv I vith the water. 



Oi.i I - I'liB bugaboo of these averse to outside l.al- 



V, ell dissipated by this time, b'pou oxaini- 

 iN'be foimd that those declaiming loudest

 o,|,,i of writing themselves down " practical" 

 Mil 1 leul the slightest experience entitling them 

 I ; .; 1. V,V, quote from the London jFicM.- "TheSa- 

 dJ .e le-.i-lifceted. was designed bv 5Ii-. Alex. Kichardeon, 

 ted ol Liverpool, and built bv Mr. Imnan, of Lvming- 

 ■. .fobii .Tameson, Jr., and we ean vouch for the fact thiit 

 al Jvingstoii and Plymouth when bigger vessels were diving their 

 bowspi its se^ end I'eet into the cr-mbers, Samrena never eveu had 

 her uranze iron under, and yet Samiena has a lead keel of nearly 

 tlui-ty-two toufi ! This is a hard fact, and it is highlv gratifying to 

 lind tbat the scare about lead keels, lead mmes and "half-tide rocka 

 is beiug exjiloded in America, .just as it has been in this coimtry." 

 Hut Dourbons always reinain liourbons and vou might adduce fa'cta 

 by the thousand, the worthy champions of the ancient school would 

 still sing tlieirold (une.s, aiid prate about "pendulnms," "diving 

 belts" and such nonsense in theu- attempts to maintain that a 

 daugeroas, oversparred, hard, rickety sailing machine is prefer- 

 able to cruise iu than an honest ship."
