LIGHT CANOES vs. BOONVILLE BOATS. 



Editor Forest <uul SI mini: 



In your issue of August 10 I notice, an article on "Light; 

 vs. Heavy Canoes" over the signature of '•Nessm.ufc. 8 ' In 

 this article the •writer refers to a letter of "S, K,, .Ir./'amt 

 oorftparoe very nhfavcyeMy the Adiroiulai-k boats or "LniiLr 

 Lake boats," as they are terinni. with the Rushtou canoes, 

 He further offers to "wager §100 or $200 that J. II. RushtCU 

 makes ine a cftnoa to w-ii'l! l-s- than ten pounds, less than 

 eight feet in length; thai 1 take the canoe at Moose River 

 House, and paddle tmd carry the same through tho Fulton 

 Chain loRaquelte Lake, then oil through Finked Lake, etc.. 

 to Paul Smith's; come hack by way of Die Topper's, Smith 

 and Albany lakes to Ed. Dunbar's on the Beaver ; from there, 

 by the Beaver and Seven .Mile carry, to Twit< hell's Lake; 

 thence to Big Moose, and down by the ilin-i; carries to 

 Fourth Lake, fbenceto the Forge House." 



This ho wagers to do himself ; and at the close of his ar- 

 ticle he adds: "Does 'J. R., Jr.' meati what he wiy-'.- Will 

 he meet me for a cruise of a month or more at any point be- 

 tween Paul Smith's and the Forge House? I in a twelve- 

 pound canoe, he in such a boat a- be pleai 



Now, while Ibis is not put forth as a challenge to "J, K.. 

 Jr. "to go over this course, he in a boat and "Xessmuk" in a 

 canoe, yet it is put in such a way as lo lead any bul a very 

 earefnl reader to lake it a.s such. It is after all" only a -uiiil 

 deal of "brag and bluster" about Rushtou's canoes and what 

 "Xessmuk" thinks he can du in one uf them, and il is also 

 intended as a Ming at our Adirondack boats of the "Long 

 Lake model.' 1 



I know "J. Tt., Jr." very well; he and 1 have COmped t<>- 

 ge'her in the Xorlh Woods years ago, mid have ni-itvny 

 year on the Fulton Chain for a good many summers. 1 know 

 ihat he manes no pretensions as a boatman, in fact I know 

 that he is physically unfit (o attempt to row for any distance; 

 his whole life and occupation ha.s been such ttS to rentier him 

 unable to do it. So I just thought that ii inighi not be 

 amiss for me to stop in and offer to take his place, and give 

 "Nessmuk" a chauce to try tin- relative merits of the two 

 kinds of boats. I feel all the KOTO inclined to do this be- 

 cause for the last thirteen years I have handled the Long- 

 Lake boats, and therefore ought to know what they are. itnq 

 what they can In- made to do. 



To put it down in plain English, 1 will agree to go over 

 the course before named ("Xe-'smukV own selection), he in 

 a ten or twelve pound, eight-foot Ku.shion canoe, an 

 go in a sixty pound double-ender boat of the Loi 

 model, bul'built in Boonville, and will beat, him Hi

 he for money, for I cannot afford to have a boat In 

 lose the time consumed on the trip. 1 will then

 lOiher offer. 



For the same sum of money I will make a match with any 

 other man, who is not a professional, for S six days' race, I 

 to take a sixty-pound Long Lake model boat, Boonville 

 build, and he to take a canoe built by Kushton. Tin course. 

 tO begin at tin- Forge House, on Fulton Chain, ami to In- gone 

 over between Monday morning ami Saturday ni-ht. 



I want it distinctly understood thai I am not a profes- 

 sional, as I understand il— that is, a man who makes it his 

 business to row i-aees for money; but the whole drift of 

 "Nessmuk's" communication is so loudly in praise of cer- 

 tain canoes as being the neplitx lUtrn of a boat to sit in, that 

 one is inclined 10 think that the Adirondack bout is nothing 

 but a flat-bottomed scow as compared with them. This is un- 

 reason for this offer. Gus Sypjelekt.
