A 500-MILE CRUISE ON THE RIVERS OF 

 NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. 



IN the spring of "86, our vacation was drawing near, and the prob- 

 lem of "Where shall we spend it?" was agitating our brains till 

 we could not sleep. Every spare day of the past year had been spent 

 on the Bay of San Francisco, until we knew its waters like a book, 

 and every sheltered cove seemed a home to us. While we were dis- 

 cussing the Columbia River and Fuget Sound, a friend of ours who 

 was employed as pilot on the Upper Sacramento River, gave us such 

 a glowing account of its beauties that we determined to spend our 

 vacation in exploring our own State. 



On the first of May we were all ready, our baggage had been taken 

 down to the club house at Oakland, and taking our canoes out, we 

 loaded them with it, and the many spars and other cumbrous articles 

 that are necessary to the convenience of cruising canoeists. Then 

 lashing down our canvas deck hatches, to keep ont any superfluous 

 moisture that might be inclined to make its way into the sacred in- 

 teriors of our little vessels, we pushed off from the float and said 

 good-bye for a month to toil and trouble. In spite of the strong flood 

 which was against us all the way over, we managed to make the trip 

 to San Francisco in good time. We had a lively experience getting 

 the canoes aboard tbe steamer, there being no suitable wharf to land 

 at, the deckhands hoisted our tiny craft on board by means of lines 

 passea under them. As each contained nearly two hundreds pounds 

 of baggage, the work was by no means easy for them nor was it with- 

 out interest for us. as the slipping of a rope would have sent all our 

 impedimenta to the bottom of the sea, and meant the giving up of 

 our cherished trip. After much puffing on the part of the deckhands 

 and a good deal of swearing on the part of the mate (my, how he did 

 swear, as only a Portuguese can), we at last had the pleasure of see- 

 ing the two perched on top of a pile of barrels above the reach of 

 harm. We covered them with a tarpaulin, leaving just enough ©f 

 their bows projecting to show the names Undine in gilt on a blue 

 ground, and TaUsman in blue on her yellow sides. 



Leaving the city at 4 in the afternoon, we had 15 hours traveling up 

 the river by steamer to Sacramento. From there we were to take 

 the steamer Dover and go as far up the river as she went, probably 

 about two hundred miles, and from there descend with the stream to 

 its mouth, or as near it as our time would allow. 



Sunset clouds were glorious in the western sky as we reached 

 Vallejo, and by the time that the steamer reached the mouth of the 

 river, it was so dark that we, being then inexperienced, could not dis- 

 tinguish between earth and water. Shortly afterward the moon rose 

 and we eagerly scanned the hanks for landmarks that might be of 

 use to us on our down trip. The Captain hearing the particulars of 

 our proposed trip invited us into the pilot house to continue our ob- 

 servations ; it being five stories above the main deck, enabling us to 

 e over everything; from the Coast Range on one side to the Sierra 



Nevaclas on the other, the immense fertile valley fairly shone in the 

 moonlight. To the north and south its limits were indistinguishable, 

 and were to be traced only by the golden thread of the Sacramento 

 and the silvery San Joaquin. The banks os the river for nearly four 

 hundred miles are thickly fringpd with trees, on the lower part of it 

 orchards and hop ranches extend continuously for nearly a hundred 

 miles, relieved here and there by the grounds and residences of the 

 owners of surrounding property. Such was the beauty of the scene 

 that we spent the night in viewing it and listened to the pilot's descrip- 

 tive stories. At 5 m the morning coffee waB served us in the pilot 

 house by his courtesy. Shortly "afterward the dome of the State 

 capitol, and later the Marysville Buttes came in sight, although the 

 latter were then over one hundred miles distant. 



At 7 o'clock we landed at Sacramento and proceeded to the house of 

 one of Undine's cousins, who had cordially extended to us his hospi- 

 tality. Not being familiar with the streets of Sacramento, we had 

 some trouble in finding his domicile. In the meantime our knicker- 

 bockers were attracting no end of attention and we felt that our Tarn 

 o bhantera were not understood to mean boating as they would have 

 been down below, in short, we felt decidedly uncomfortable Pres- 

 ently a young miss remarked to her companion as we passed that 

 we must belong to the Salvation Army, and a little further along a 

 small boy, noticing the similarity in our costumes, asked us if we 

 were twin brothers. Kven the "slony British stare," which was a 

 part of Undine's patrimony, failed to quell the potency of the gaze 

 with which some of the coy maidens honored us. so we were heartily 

 glad when we came upon the street and number that we had been 

 looking for. A cheerful welcome, and instructions to make ourselves 

 at home, soon made us forget all the small annoyances that we had 

 been subjected to upon the street. A generous breakfast, and after 

 that a few hours spent in company with our host in seeing the sights 

 and meeting some of the people of the city who could give us neces- 

 sary information, was all that we had time for at this stage of our 

 trip but on our return we spent several pleasant days of which I 

 shall speak in time.

THE CANOE EXHIBITION. 



CANOEISTS who are willing to lend plans or drawings of canoes 

 for the exhibition will confer a favor by sending them to W. P 

 ■us, care of Forest and Stream, 39 Park Row, New York not 

 later than Thursday, April 22. They will be carefully handled and 

 returned the following week. Books on canoeing, club books and 

 constitutions, and any description of canoe literature will be accepta- 

 ble. We have received the following request from the committee on 

 decorations: 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



It is respectfully requested that secretaries of canoe clubs will 

 kindly collect, from members all prizes that they will be willing to 

 loan to the exposition, and forward them to the 'undersigned at, 24 

 \\ est Fortieth street. New York. It is also urgently requested that 

 secretaries and members will aid us by sending prize flags, club bur- 

 gees and sailing signals, private signals and totems, and anything in 

 the way of club regalia and souvenirs available. Whatever is loaued 

 will be gratef ully acknowledged and promptly returned. It is hoped 

 that tbe Frog, the Turtle, the Sea Horse and the Alligator will here 

 enjoy convivial and zoological fellowship.

THE SPRING MEETS. 



THE two leading events of Decoration Day in the canoe world are 

 the Connecticut River and Hudson River meets, at Calla Shasta 

 Grove and Coddingtons Dock. The former, under the active direc- 

 tion of the Springfield and Hartford Clubs, promises to be much 

 larger than m previous years, and it is hoped that canoeists generally 

 throughout New England will attend. Circulars have been sent out 

 hut canoeists who may not have received one are invited to attend' 

 It is desirable that notice be givent one of the committee The pro- 

 gramme is as follows: Saturday, May 29, selecting camps and election 

 of officers; Sunday, May 30, religious exercises at 11 A. M .; Monday 

 May 31, races, to include both paddling and sailing; illumination in 

 the evening; Tuesday, June 1, breaking up of camp. Shelter wiJl be 

 furnished to a limited number who find it impossible to come provided 

 with tents. A caterer will also be on hand to furnish at a small cost 

 meals to those who wish them. Such supplies as milk, eggs, etc can 

 be proctured at a store in the vicinity. Committee: Dr. George L 

 Parmele, Pres.; John D. Parker, Sec; William B. Davidson Treas 

 Hartford C. C. O. W. Bliss. Capt.; E. C. Knappe, Lieut.; G M Bar' 

 ney, C. M. Shedd. F. A. Nickerson, F D. Foot, Springfield C c' 



The Hudson River meet will be held at Coddington's Dock" four 

 miles above Rondout, on the west bank of the Hudson. Canoeists 

 will meet on Friday, May 28. at the camp. A large attendance from 

 Albany, New York, Newburgh, Sing Sing, Amsterdam and other 

 points along the river is expected. A party of Mohicans will also 

 start aboxit the same date for a week's cruise down the Susquehanna. 



THE A. C. A. TROPHY. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The reproach you make in your issue of the 8th seems a just one, 

 but there is another side to the question. The active men in any 

 association are usually the ones to whom necessary work is portioned 

 out from headquarters, the officers being sure of their interest and 

 cooperation. That being the case, it seems a little hard to berate 

 them for not rushing into print on every occasion, considering that 

 they themselves have private correspondence on canoeing matters, 

 their own boats to design and build, new rigs to invent or old ones to 

 perfect, etc., and possibly committee or club work besides. In the 

 matter you cite, the A. C A. trophy, I believe I speak for the major- 

 ity in saying that they agree with your correspondent ("S.," in March 

 4) on all points, and I infer that his letter convinced those interested 

 in the matter, and that from that cause and not from want of inter- 

 est the discussion dropped. 



There is a certain amount of misconception about what the duties 

 of the Trophy Committee are and how great scope their authority 

 gives them. The members themselves understand that they are to 

 raise funds, select a suitable design, and purchase the cup and pre- 

 sent it to the Regatta Committee, and that there their absolute duty 

 ends. They are also instructed to draft rules and outline conditions 

 for holding cup, their final report being made to the Regatta Com- 

 mittee, who can either adopt or reject their work, as it may see fit. 



In brief , the programme will not be very different from this: The 

 race will be five times round the IJfJ-rnile triangular course. It will 

 have a time limit. Ten entries only from the A. C. A. permitted in 

 the final, making 13 starters. Trial races will be held— A. C. A. rules 

 govern. It will probably be sailed on Friday preceding the race 

 week, so as not te interfere with the regular prcgramme. No entrance 

 fee or charge of any kind, and may the best man win. 



Toward the fund $146 only is yet in hand, but the committee have 

 practically just begun work. They send out this week a circular note 

 to individual A. C. A. men, who may not have seen the published 

 appeals, and believe that the spring canoeing fever now attacking us 

 all, will stimulate a plentiful crop of dollar buds to the committee, 

 and finally culminate in a flower worthy of international competition. 



Wm. Whitlock. 



[We recognize the important work done by a few of the leading 

 members of the A. C. A., and our comments last week were not 

 directed against them, who generally have all in hand that they can 

 attend to, but to the rant and file whose place it is to aid the officers 

 and committees by the means pointed out. If left to a few, the labor 

 and responsibility are heavy, but if all will take hold the practical 

 working of the Association will be improved and the work involved 

 lessened each year ] 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



In your last issue you refer to the '-indifference" of A. C. A. mem- 

 bers to Association matters, instancing the fact that only one side of 

 the question, which has been raised concerning the trophy to com- 

 memorate tbe first visit of foreign canoeists, has been discussed in 

 your columns. Perhaps the explanation of this is that those who 

 think the conditions, as first proposed, should not be changed, have 

 so strong a case that they consider it superfluous to discuss it, for 

 certainly the case is a strong one. 



The. executive board have asked and received contributions for an 

 explicit object. How can they take that money and devote it to an 

 entirely different purpose, without the express consent of each sub- 

 scriber? And if they had such consent, and changed the prize from 

 individual to challenge, what a position the A C. a. would be in next 

 August when the race had been captured by one of the visitors ! We 

 should have to say, "Here, my dear sir, is your prize. Youar© aware 

 it was gotten up in honor of your visit, and expressly for you to 

 compete for. But after five or six months we changed our minds, 

 and now you can take it home and show to your friends, but you can't 

 keep it permanently. It must be returned to the A. C A. next year 

 for competition." You must excuse us, but we should rather not be 

 placed in that position. 



Now, isn"t there a good deal of nonsense in the objections raised by 

 one or two to presenting this prize outright to the winner* The pres- 

 ent ease is one which, from its very nature, can never occur again. 

 There cannot be two first visits of foreigners, hence this cannot form 

 a precedent. But on the other hand, what will be the result of the 

 establishment of a challenge cup of considerable value for yearly 

 competition? The race for it would become the most important event 

 of each meet. Men who prefer sailing to paddling (already in the 



majority among those who take part in the races) would he induced 



a^L^^^lf^ f0r 4 liD ^ to detriment of paddltag 

 qualities, and all that the record system of the past two ve-irs hn% 

 begun to build up would be swept away at once. We sno^ild have 

 fin^*** *^?*'? ex P ensl ™ trophy fo contrast with oin- mode™ 

 flags, and it would be only a short time before there would be a de- 

 mand for more valuable prizes. No! Far better have this thing 

 ended at once and forever, with the full understanding that there Is 

 to be nothing like it in the future. 



hpi™ 6 / demand for change in the original resolutions, which has

 noon during the season of 1886 the members of the M. C C have 

 races, sailing or paddling. The Susquehanna cruise is a resolved 

 fact, not yet an accomplished one, and the rural towns along that

THE ONTARIO CANOE CO.-The peculiar build of canoe made 

 by the Ontario Canoe Co. has found great favor with canoe men 

 especially those whp prefer an open or partly decked canoe, and this 

 year the company have made special exertions to supply the emi- 

 stanlly increasing demand. Owing to the large number'of models 

 which they build after, it is impossible to keep a full stock made up- 

 but they have always a large stock on hand to choose from, and can 

 build any model put in stock in about a month. While making a 

 specialty of open canoes the company build also decked canoes fitted 

 for sailing. Many canoeists have of late come to the conclusion that 

 it is a good thing to have two caDoes, an all around craft for sailing 

 and racing, and a light paddling canoe for occasional use. For the 

 latter purpose there is nothing better than the cheap basswood or 

 cedar canoes made by the company, as they are very light, easily 

 paddled and cost but little. The catalogue, a very neat looking 

 pamphlet, contains a list of several short cruises in the vicinity of 

 Peterboro. J 



SHATTEMUC C. C.-The Shattemuc C. C, of Sing Sing have 

 more than kept alive the interest in canoeing this winter by a series 

 of entertainments which have been attended br many who are not 

 yet canoeists. The most instructive and entertaining of these series 

 was held on Mar. 28, at the residence of Mrs. Carpenter, the 

 subject for the evening being a talk on canoes by the Rev. W R 

 Everts. Mr. Everts' canoe, Winnakee, was placed at one end of "the 

 parlor, and served to illustrate the lecture. The speaker described 

 the canoe and its advantages, and compared it with other boats. At 

 the conclusion of his lecture sails were set on the canoe, the tent was 

 pitched over it, the stove was set up and a meal cooked, after which 

 the canoeist made up his bed and his assistant turned in. A sectional 

 canoe, composed of a dozen pieces, was also exhibited and put to- 

 gether. The evening was passed very pleasantly, the entertainment 

 being the most successful yet given.
