ing trip, I would say, don't. Game is scarce, fish are scarcer, and 

 any boat that can get into the lake would have a lively time with even 

 a moderate breeze. 



The Cal00sahatch.ee, howevor, abounds in deer and turkey, and the 

 scenery is delightful; banks are high, with generally a heavy growth 

 of cabbage palmetto: in many instances the pines came to the river, 

 and near the headwaters live oak are plenty. The fishing is noth- 

 ing to brag of. 



In Charlotte Harbor there are both shooting and fishing enough to 

 satisfy the most fastidious, with fine oysters in abundance. Clear 

 water, blue skies, beautiful green islands', and, in fact, everything to 

 make a cruise enjoyable. Tarpon. 



THE CHART LOCKER. 



G 



VII.— WISCONSIN RIVERS. 

 H. G., Cleveland, asks for information as to Wisconsin rivers 

 i and maps of the same. 



CANOEING IN BUFFALO.— In the small boat line we have the 

 usual number of clinker boats being built, and one or two experiments. 

 Among the latter are two lapstreak boats 15ft. x 4ft., with center- 

 boards and decks, built by Geo. Moon, who is anxious to build a boat 

 that will "get away" from the 15ft.x38in. Joyner, owned here. A 

 canvas canoe is on the stocks, being built from lines furnished by 

 Oa.pt. Kendall, and promises to be a flyer if lines and sail area count. 

 She is 15ft.X86ia., and will have iron on her keel, being intended for 

 lake service. A Pearl is being talked of by one of our younger boat- 

 ing men, and we have a Racine St. Paul and a Rushtcm Stella Mans, 

 so it begins to look as though we would muster a f air number Of 

 canoes this summer. We have no club, but soon as we get four or 

 five active members we will organize. Of course there must be three 

 officers, and we want a private to boss,. With our waters we should 

 have a large fleet of canoes, but the pioneer was put on the river last 

 sum mer . — C ab allero . 



THE CHOCKSETT C. C.-This club was recently formed at, West 

 Sterling, Mass. with E. H. Coolidge as Commodore, E. W. Sawyer, 

 Treasurer, and E. Coolidge, Secretary. 



AFLOAT AGAIN.— "Kessmuk" writes us on April 18; "My new 

 canoe, Buckiail, is here, and is simply the most perfect cedar canoe 

 i have ever seen. Not very light, 241bs. t staunch, serviceable, 

 capable; finished like an Elgin watch; intended for a river cruise 

 down the Susquehanna River. She will be heard from." 



PERSONAL .— Messrs. Longworth and Lucien Wulsin, of Cincin- 

 nati, were in New York last week, the former sailing for Europe. 

 Mr. Gibson, of Albany, was also in New York for a few days. 



THE NEWBURGH CAMP.— We have received from Mr. Smith some ' 

 photographs of the camp ground, showing the beach and inside of 

 the old earthworks. 



LEAKS IN lilltCH BARK CANOES.— Can any of our readers in- 

 form us as to what is used to stop leaks in a birch bark, and how r ap- 

 plied?

Whereas, It having come to our notice that some

 having spread reports to the effect that the manu- 

 facturers of the above hooks are defunct, we now 

 take this opportunity of informing the American 

 and British public that such reports are utterly 

 false. The same efficient staff of workpeople is 

 employed as heretofore, and we challenge the

 approach ours, which are to be obtained from 

 the most respectable wholesale houses in the trade.
