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 w&y possible. 

 Everything is made intelligible for beginners : and besides this ABC teaching there aj-e 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 betvreen its covers. The 

 Bubjects 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. f*ages 168; uniform with "Canoe 

 Building." Price, postpaid, $1.00.
