THE WINTER MEET OF THE CANOEMEN. 



EESPECTFUTLIyY DEDICATED TO "POHEST AND 8TBEAM." 



A SONGr I sing, and a call 1 ring 

 To the brethren bold and fi-ee, 

 Who smng their blades by the cypress shades, 

 Or the foam of the surging sea. 



^Vhose trim craft glide on the sluggish tide 



Wliei-e the white magnolia gleams; 

 Whose paddles tltish where the currents dash 



Of the Northland's crystal streams. 



Whose shadows lie where the brook trout tly 



In tbe still, dark pools to hide; 

 MTio, deep in the brakes of Die SoutMand lakes, 



In their long, light "cooners" glide. 



By rough ice-pack, in the frail kayak, 



Or in tropic swamps who search; 

 Who the waft display of the A. C. A., 



Or paddle a Micmac birch. 



To each and all I would send my call. 



Who cruise in the light canoe; 

 To breeze or gale who can trim the sail 



Of a craft that is staunch and true. 



Then list ye all to the sounding call, 



As it rings from land to land, 

 Through the mystic rites of the press and types. 



And the arts of the printer band. 



'Tis a call to meet wben the snow and sleet 



Of the storms whirl wild and high; 

 When the white waves roar on the sounding shore, 



With the wild winds shrieMng by. 



And fear you not for a dreary lot, 



When answering back my call; 

 For the noble meet of our mighty fleet, 



There's a camp that is known to all. 



Our flag, that flies 'neath tbe gladsome skies, 



O'er 'the foam of the bounding wave, 

 We vaU to the blast, when the winters cast 



Theii" snow on tbe summer's grave. 



By wave or wood, we have sought the good 



Which comes to the outer's call; 

 MTien the snows shall beat, there's a rousing meet 



In Forest and Streajh for aU. K. 

 June 18, 1880. 



THE A. C. A. AND THE CRUISERS. 



THERE is of course a great difference of tastes among canoeists 

 as among all other bodies of men, and while the majority of 

 canoeists hold some articles of faith in common, they are divided 

 by the line, largely imaginary, which some draw between cruising 

 and racing. It is tbe firm belief of some of our most energetic 

 cruisers that the aim and the end of the A. C. A. is racing, and 

 though they wiU not visit the meets and see for themselves how 

 prominent tbe cruising feature is there, though the racing natur- 

 rally makes more show on paper, they are none the less positive in 

 tlieir position. Naturally at a meet the racing attracts all the 

 attention. A crowd are waiting on the hillside to see a man come 

 in ahead in a race and not one of them cares to go over to the grove 

 beyoiid and see the snug white tents and smoky fireplaces. If 

 they did there is nothing special to attract attention, nothing bitt 

 what they have often seen, nothing to ivrite about and nothing to 

 wave their hats and hurrah over. Some thirty men do all the rac- 

 ing, but there are in camp six or eight times that number who are 

 enjoying the best part of canoeing, the quiet social side that we 

 all go to camp for, even if we do enjoy a few days of friendly 

 racing. 



For the next three or four weeks our columns will be f i;ll of tbe 

 meet, and naturally the racing, in view of the international con- 

 test, will monopolize a large part of the space. No doubt this will 

 bring some protests from the absent cruising men, and the annual 

 complaint against racing and racing machines will be heard. Now, 

 before we come to the races we will try to show wJiat the A. C. A. 

 is doing, and chiefly through the Commodore of this year, a man 

 who owns a racing canoe and who is following up the work done 

 by last year's Commodore, also a racing man. The following direc- 

 tory of water courses has been compiled by Commodore Rathbun 

 from tlie list of last year, \vith new routes added. The list is 

 headed by the following notice: 



The followiug list of ci-uises and references is hereby published 

 for the benefit of the Association. The members mentioned have 

 consented, in so far as they are able by correspondence, to give in- 

 formation regarding the cruises to which their names are ap- 

 pended. Applications to them should specify in concise form the 

 information desired, and must have the A. C. A. membersMp num- 

 ber appended thereto. All members who may have had experience 

 of cruises other than those named, aud who are willing to give in- 

 formation regarding the same, will report to the Commodore. 

 Many references and minor cruises in addition are on record, and 

 will be furnished on application to the Commodore. All members 

 are especially urged to forward for reference the name of any 

 cruise they may make hereafter, and it is hoped that the manifest 

 benefit to all cruisers may induce all unattached canoeists to en- 

 roD themselves under the A. C. A. btirgee.— F. S. Rathbttn, Com- 

 modore A. C. A. (Deseronto, Out., June 1, 1888).

Two points are noticeable in the list, it includes a very lar^e 

 iportion of the waters of North America, and incomplete as it is, it 

 forms a very valuable guide to the cruiser. The second point is 

 that the names of all our racing men are f oimd in it; Vaux, Gib- 

 son, AVliitlock, Oliver, Van Dusen, Neid6, Weller, Munroe, Bur- 

 chard, Nickerson. These men alone fill a largo part of the list. 

 On the other hand there are a great many real cruisers in the 

 country who are conspicuous only by their absence. If they want 

 to benefit cruising and aid other cruisers, the way is plain to them 

 through such additions as each can easily make to the list of 

 cruising waters. In this connection we quote the following letter 

 lately received from a cruiser, not a member of the A. C. A., how- 

 ever: "Y''ou will please discontinue the Forest and Stream when 

 my present subscription expires. Formerly when the canoe 

 columns contained many pleasant accounts of cruises I greatly en- 

 joyed it, but now when 1 find them given up to notices of new 

 clubs, rules and regulations, prizes, etc., I find nothing to interest 

 me." 



Some three years since the writer of this letter, contemplating a 

 cruise in the South, wote to the Forest and Stream for informa- 

 tion, which was furnished. Later on he reached New Y''ork and 

 was taken ill on the eve of sailing, leaving bis canoe here and 

 returning home. At his request the Forest and Stream attended 

 to the canoe, taking it from the storehouse and reshipping it to the 

 owner. This is a simple instance of the aid which cruisers, even 

 though not members, receive from the A. C. A. and those asso- 

 ciated with it in the promotion of canoeinjg. There may be others 

 wlio would make the same complaint. To them we can say that 

 though just now much space is required for A. C. A. business and 

 races, later on they shall have accounts of cruises. Let the cruisers 

 come forward and aid the A. C. A. and the Forest and Stream 

 with their logs, ideas on camping and their cruising information, 

 and they will have no cause to find fault for any neglect by either. 



NEW YORK C. C. CUP RACES. 



MR. WALTER STEWART, R. C. C, who comes in place of Mr. 

 Tredwen, bringing the latest Pearl, is now at Grindstone as 

 the guest of the N. Y. C. C. On Sunday morning Mr. W. Baden 

 Powell, R. C. C, arrived in New York on the Celtic and was met 

 by Com. Munroe, A''ice-Com. Stephens and IMi-.A^'aux, who escorted 

 him to the club house. The fleet were already under way and Mr. 

 Powell joined them in the Nethla, using the deck seat for the first 

 time. Netlila, Psyche, Lassie, Kittiwake, AA^anderer, Sea Urchin 

 and two other canoes sailed down the Bay and along South Beach, 

 some of the canoeists camping out, wliile others dined at Petler'e. 

 In the afternoon they sailed home, arriving at 6 P. M. On Monday 

 night Mr. Powell started for camp in company with Vice-Corn. 

 Stephens. 



Com. Jones, of Hartford, has been obliged to decline the place 

 awarded him as one of the defenders of the Cup, and Messrs. Vaux 

 and Whitlock will sail against Messrs. Powell and Stewart. The 

 races -will be held on Sept. 3, at 3 P. M. At 8 A. M. on the later 

 day there will be a parade of canoes off the club house.

 following officers: Commodore, W. R. Huntington; Vice-Commo- 

 dore, E. Z. Peckham; Secretary and Treasurer, JohnS. Wardwell;
