shown at v, one on each side of the board. These pieces are each 

 fastened to the keel by a screw from the outside. To remove the 

 board the canoe is turned over, the two screws taken out. and the 

 boat turned back, wben the board will drop out. The fore board is 

 of 5-1 6in. brass, weighing 151bs. The after board is of Jfjin. brass, 

 weighing 51bs., and is quadrant-shaped. Each is filed to a sharp 

 edge. They are hoisted by cords, the forward pendant belaying on a 

 cleat on after end of the trunk; the after pendant coming through the 

 deck to a cleat on starboard side of deck, abreast the canoeist. The 

 three mast tubes are of uniform size, 2in. inside, so the masts may be 

 interchanged. The rudder is of M m - oak, thinned down at the edges, 

 the yoke being a semi circular piece with a score in it for the rudder 

 lines, of brass chain. The foot gear consists of two oak pedals, t t, 

 fitted to the floor boards with brass spring hinges. When, two are 

 paddling, the after man uses the braces, s s, on the fleor, the back- 

 board for the forward man being at r. The hatch, o, is made with an 

 outside rim, fitting over tne coaming and close to the deck. There is 

 no fore bulkhead, as usually fitted, and the sliding bulkhead is also 

 omitted, a piece, r, taking its place and supporting the hatch and 

 catrying the back-boa- d. The broken lines in the sectional view 

 show the inner edges of the planking, the widths of same at midships 

 being given in the cross section. 



CROSS SECTION AT MIDSHIPS. 



THE SINGLE BLADE.-Where is "Single Paddle" this winter? 

 Does he find a difficulty in hunting up the victories of the past sea 

 son 1 I did not attend the meet, but if the reports can be trusted not 

 a single race open to both kinds of paddles was captured by the 

 single. I again make the assertion that every thine else being equal 

 the double is the fastest, and I may add that I think the superiority 

 will be more apparent in the larger sizes of canoes. The 1886 meet is 

 certain to be attended by the best paddlers of the country. Surely 

 the single paddle men can attend and do their best to contradict my 

 assertion. Don't be content with saying, "We have better men at 

 home," but bring the better men along and give the doubles a 

 worthy battle.— Boeeas. 



HARTFORD C. C.-The annual meeting of this club was held Jan. 

 19, when the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: 

 Geo. ti. Parmele, President; W. B. Davidson. Treasurer; John D. 

 Parker, Secretary; Louis Q. Jones, Commodore; W. G. Abbot, mem- 

 ber Executive Committee. Several new members were elected, and 

 there is every indication of continuing prosperity. The club has 

 found the following prescription of great benefit in keeping up club 

 interest during the winter months: R Smoke, canoe talk, refresh- 

 ments aa q. s. Label, a camp fire. Dose— One each month at the 

 homes of the different members. The next meeting will be at the 

 home of Commodore Jones on the evening of Jan. 27. 



WIDE AND NARROW CANONS.— Editor Forest and Stream: 

 "Hal" says I have placed constructions upon his communication not 

 warranted by the words used. I did not think so, but he mu«t know 

 betier than I can what meaning he intended to convey, so I most 

 cheerfully ask his pardon, and also thank him for his answer. I 

 should like to say more, but have taken to heart the remark of "Skip- 

 per" about taking up the precious space of the Forest and Stream, 

 and will refrain.— Katrina. 



I tA. C. A.— Mr. Edward C. Hammott, of Davenport, la., is a candi 

 date for membership.
