The Regatta ended with an amusing 

 tournament between J. C. Mowbray-B. 

 Fredericks and H. H. Smythe-F. C. 

 Moore, which resulted in the latter team 

 taking to the water. A number of ladies at- 

 tended, and encouraged the " struggling 

 heroes." A number of old A. C. A. racing 

 men were also present. A dinner for 60 was 

 served at the Country House. The prizes 

 were presented by Commodore Dunnell, 

 after which he, in a few well chosen re- 

 marks, told what is being done toward 

 making the A. C. A. Camp a big success, 

 and he expressed hope that a large delega- 

 tion would attend. His speech was heartily 

 applauded. 



If you are not a member of the A. C. A. 

 but are interested in canoeing, and want to 

 attend the camp, we shall be glad to wel- 

 come you there. You can fill out an appli- 

 cation blank at camp. 



A " Vaux " canoe, made by J. H. Rush- 

 ton, retail price $37.50, for 60 yearly sub- 

 scriptions to Recreation. Who will be 

 the first to earn it? 



I am delighted with the way Recrea- 

 tion rakes the game hogs. It has done 

 more to protect game and fish in this part 

 of the State than all of the game constables 

 combined. It is just the book needed to 

 stir up the sleeping ideas of the sportsmen. 

 It sets them thinking where the game has 

 gone. I could tell them where some of 

 the fish go, as I hooked on to 9 trap nets 

 within 2 miles square, on Oneida lake in 

 October, while I was trolling. We have 

 not much faith in the officers here and the 

 farmers dare not say anything for fear of 

 having their buildings burned. One con- 

 stable we had 2 years ago drew his salary 

 and a seine at the same time, so he must 

 have made money; but I heard he was 

 caught at last and fined $100. It should 

 have been $1,000.
