The Annual Camp of the Brooklyn 

 Canoe Club was held at Huntington har- 

 bor, July ist-5th, at which time the Pagan 

 trophy was raced for. During the month 

 of July Club races were held, and at this 

 writing the majority of the members are 

 packing up for the A. C. A. Meet. 



TO THE DIVISION OFFICERS OF THE 

 A. C. C: 



One of the striking and most interesting 

 features of the '97 Meet was the presence 

 of 6 war-canoes. 



Can we not be favored with a similar 

 number in '98? 



As each Division showed a substantial 

 surplus in the last annual report, might not 

 a limited sum be set aside to defray the ex- 

 penses of having a representative war 

 canoe present at Stave island? 



There are a number of active, enthusias- 

 tic clubs in the Northern Division, within 

 easy reach by water of Stave island, be- 

 tween whose war canoe crews there is al- 

 ready considerable rivalry. Would it not 

 be possible for the Northern Division to 

 procure a suitable trophy for competition 

 between crews represen ing Ottawa, Mon- 



treal, Brockville, Kingston and Toronto, 

 and arrange a race for the second Saturday 

 of the meet, and thus choose the premier 

 crew to represent the Division in the reg- 

 ular A. C. A. war canoe event? Such a race 

 would be of great interest, as the canoes and 

 crews are practically on an even footing as 

 to model and number of paddlers.
