CANOE! HANDLING. 



By C. B. VAUX ("DOT"). 



A complete manual for the management of a canoe. The author begins at the very 

 beginning, describes and explains the rudiments in the simplest and plainest way possible. 

 Everything is made intelligible for beginners: and besides this ABC teaching there are so 

 many hints and wrinkles that the oldest canoeist afloat wiU find pleasure and profit in the 

 study of these. The book is complete and concise— no useless duffle between its covers. The 

 subjects treated are the choice of a canoe, paddling, sailing, care of the canoe, recipes and 

 rules. The text is further elucidated by numerous practical drawings, and the beauty of the 

 book is enhanced by the many ornamental vignettes. Pages 168; uniform with "Canoe 

 Building." Price, postpaid, $1.00.
