THE CALLA SHASTA FALL MEET. 



ABOUT 30 canoeists with 18 canoes assembled at Call a Shasta to 

 hold the fall race meeting of the New England Division of the 

 A. C. A., and race meeting it was in name only, there being hardly 

 a breath of Avind during the entire meet. Notwithstanding the 

 lack of wind every one declared that they had a grand good time, 

 talking models, comparing the Stranger (Com. Jones's new Joyner 

 canoe) with Mr. Barney's Pecowsic, etc., and the evenings passed 

 away at the most enjoyable camp-fires imaginable. In fact those 

 camp-flres were somethin,g not soon to be forgotten, with a gorge- 

 oirs full moon and Patterson full of good songs and banjo music, 

 two kegs of sweet cider, presented by one of the members , and a 

 camp-fire full of good wood, and in fact everything full but the 

 canoeists. Very few tents were pitched, the canoeists preferring 

 to camp out on tJre floor of Mr, Lester's parlor and eat Mr. Lester's 

 repasts at the table spread on the barn floor in order to accommo- 

 date the whole party. 



As the party were sitting around the camp-fire Friday night, a 

 team drove up and a voice came through the darkness, "A. C. A. 

 Ahoy!" and VkHiitlock, of the Brooklj'n C. C, appeared and re- 

 ceived a hearty welcome. Mr. Joyner, the builder, was also pres- 



ent. As Vice-Com. Pa,ul Butler was unable to be present, Rear- 

 Com. Barney presided during the meet. 



. Saturday inorning there was just enough wind to warrant start- 

 ing the no hmit race, which was sailed with the following result- 

 Venture, L. Q. Jones, H. C. C. first; Pecowsic, E. H. Barney, S.C.C 

 second. The wind then fell so light that none of the other events 

 were sailed, it being considered hardly a fair test of sailing; but a 

 scrub race was indulged in between Mr. Barney in Pecowsic, Com. 

 Jones in the neAV Stranger and Mr. Wnitlock in the Venture, the 

 canoes flnishing in the order named. 



The sailir g races of the Springfield Club's r agatta, which were 

 named for t^e same day, also had to be postponed, the only event 

 ot interest on that programme wnich took place being the paddling 

 race, 1 mile, for the club medal, which was won by Mr. John 

 Bowles. 



Saturday evening a meeting of the N. E. Division of the A. C. A. 

 was held, Rear-Com. Bamey in the chair. At this meeting a de- 

 cided opinio? expressed in favor of a salt-water meet ne.xt 

 year tor the A. C. A., and it was voted unanimously that delegates 

 to the Executive Committee meeting to be held in New York this 

 tali vote tor such a meet. 



The meeting also instructed delegates to suggest a change in 

 the constitution to the etlect that each 30 men on the roll of each 

 Division of the A. C. A. who are canoe owners, be entitled to one 

 vote at the annual Executive Committee meeting in.stead of, as it 

 now stands, having each 80 men at camp entitled to one vote. 



It was albO voted that the Executive Committee appoint time 

 and place for the spring meet, but it was tlie general feeling that 

 tney should try and arrange the time so as not to conflict with 

 that of a meet of any otiier branch of the A. C. A., thereby ren- 

 dering It impossible for members to attend both. 



Voted that oflicers of N. E. Division have power to receive votes 

 on important subjects by mail. 



Rear-Com. Barney then appointed Mr. Nickerson, of Spring- 

 field; Com. Jones, Hartford, and Mr. Murphy, of Salem, to act as 

 regatta committee, Mr. Mckerson as chairman, and the meeting 

 adjourned. 



The officers of this Di vusion are: Paul Butler, Lowell, Vice- 

 Com.; Mr. E. H. Barney, Springfield, Rear-Com.; W. B. Davidson, 

 Hartford, Purser, and Dr. Geo. L. Parmele, member of Executive 

 Committee. 



ROCHESTER C. C. FALL REGATTA, OCT. 7.-The faU regatta 

 of the Rochester C. C. was sailed on Oct. 7 over the club course of

O. C. W.— Go down to Lane's, at Good Ground, Long Island. 



Miss Lillian F. Smith.— A letter so addressed is at this office 



S. M.— For bears select a large caliber; .44 is a favorite wltlx 

 hunters of this game. 



G. U. N.— The gun can be altered bydhy of the firms whose cards 

 will be found in our columns. 



C. H. M.— In western Massachusetts you will perhaps do well to 

 try the vicinity of Great Barrington. 



A. J. K., Eau Claire, Wis.— Hunting hares will hurt the grouse 

 hunting of your dog. The partridge hunting is all right. 



W. N. F., Nantucket.— One receipt for waterproofing is 12oz. of 

 beeswax boiled for two hours in a gallon of linseed oil, with a little 

 dryer added. 



J. B. F. AND Wife, of Baltimore, Md.— Can find good fishing and 

 hunting by addressing Jos. K. Bramble, East New Market, Dor- 

 chester county, Maryland. 



R. H. Mc, Tampa, Fla.— A cubic foot of salt water wUl weigh 

 6.51bs., and will float that weight in the form of a box of one cubic 

 foot capacity, including weight of box, if metal. 



G. W. C— The skipjack was fully described in the Forest and 

 Strjsam of Sept. 27, 1877, copies of which can be had at this office.. 

 See also "Small Yachts" for additional information and plans. 



C. W. S.— For wildfowl shooting go down to Long Island, to 

 Lane's at Good Ground, or Foster's, at the same place. For quail 

 and partridge to Sullivan county, or out into Orange county to 

 some of the Erie Railroad stations on the Newburgh short cut. 



Doubting, St. Louis.— The stories you see in tlie papers about 

 women with lizards in their stomachs and men with minnows in 

 their Itmgs are all rubbish and foolishness. A swallowed lizard 

 or fish could not live any more than a swallowed oyster or clam.

Highest Quality'' Fish Hooks. 



Anglers are so familiar with our name and Trade Mark and the quality of our goods, that we hare no hesitation 

 in calling them to witness to the excellence of all hooks made by us. Though our hooks have always been fully 

 equal to any ever made, about seven years ago we came to the conclusion that anglers would welcome a very high 

 grade of fish hooks— something far beyond what they had ever used. Consequently we perfected arrangements for 

 the manufacture of what has become so -widely and favorably known as "Abbey & Imbrie's Highest Quality" fish 

 hooks. All boxes containing these hooks have our trade mark and the words "Abbey & Imbrie's Highest Quality," 

 distinctly printed on the label. Also the name of the hook, viz. : "Sproat," "O'Shaiighnessey," "Aberdeen," "Carlisle," 

 "Sneck Kendall," or "American Trout." When "snelled" on silk worm gut or gimp the hooks are put up in packages, 

 containing one-half dozen of hooks. Each one-half dozen is labeled. 



If your dealer does not keep our goods in stock, or will not order them for you, send us 50 cents for our 180-page- 

 folio illustrated catalogue.
