will start at 9:30 o'clock. The first race of each afternoon will 

 start at 2 o'clock. 



As the paddling races, hurry scurry race, upset race, and the 

 like, are not dependent upon wind, and are of especial interest to 

 visitors, the committee will arrange, if possible, to fix a time for 

 them, aud so group tbe various events that friends of the canoe- 

 ists staying at tbe hotels near camp may have ample, notification 

 of the date and time when the races will be contested. The sail- 

 ing races will be called when there is a fair chance of their being 

 successfully held. 



Note B.- The unlimited and limited sailing races, viz., events 

 Nos. 5 and 13, will be started in squadrons (if the number of con- 

 testants makes it necessary), by signals, as follows: 



First signal, 5 minutes before the race, "fleet assemble," one gun 

 will bo fired from, and the A. C. A. flag run up at, the starter's 

 station. 



Second Rignal, 4 minutes later, "first squadron prepare," one 

 gun, aud A. C. A. flag hauled down. 



Third signal, 1 minute later, "first squadron start," one gun, 

 and red flag run up. 



Fourth signal, 4 minutes later, "second squadron prepare," oue 

 gun, red flag hauled down. 



Fifth signal, 1 minute later, "second squadron start," two guns, 

 two red flags run up. 



The number of signals will be increased on the same plan to 

 cover the number of squadrons into which the fleet may be 

 divided. The clerk of the course will assign contestants to the 

 different squadrons by lot, and any contestant starting in any 

 squadron other than that to which he has been assigned will be 

 disqualified. 



A time allowance between the several squadrons will be given 

 corresponding with the starting signals. 



Note C— The committee reserves the right to amend this pro- 

 gramme at any time, and also to cancel any event in which the 

 entries are not in the opinion of the committee sufficiently numer- 

 ous to warrant a race. 



Note D. -The committee hope to have the prizes mean some- 

 thing. The first and second man across the line in every race 

 will receive a flag as heretofore; but three flags will not be small, 

 ornamental silk affairs. They will be of bunting and are in- 

 tended to be used to hoist in front of the owner's tent. They are 

 the Honor flags. Each will have the year and honor plainly sewed 

 into it. and when in future these men appear in camp they will 

 hoist these flags over their tents to show the scalps they have 

 taken in the years gone by. 



Note E.— As there may come a time when larger canoes should 

 be entered regularly for races, the committee have put a limit on 

 such canoes for this year, hoping the. A. C. A. will take action in 

 the matter, if for no other reason than because larger canoes than 

 the above Class C cannot well be handled by the railroads as the 

 smaller canoes can, and we may therefore lose privileges we now 

 get from tbe companies if such canoes are shipped under the 

 Franking Act now in vogue. 



Note F.— The regatta committee under Rule II. have the power 

 to admit non-members to the races. They therefore extend cordial 

 invitations to all members of the Western Canoe Association to 

 come to and take part in the races, likewise all members of 

 foreign clubs will be welcome.

 The lady canoeist formed one of our party, and, being made of 

 the genuine cauoeiug material, she paddled borne in the heavy 

 rain and against a head wind to Gloucester, a distance of twenty 

 miles from camp. * * * 



EASTERN DIVISION MEET— MAY 26-31.

THE A. C. A. REGATTA PROGRAMME. 



THE following programme was received from the committee 

 early last week, but as the Forest and Stream was printed 

 one day earlier than usual on account of Wednesday's holiday, it 

 could not be inserted in our last issue: 



RACES IN WHICH RECORD POINTS ARE 8CORED. 



No. 1. Paddling, Class II.— 1,000yds., straightaway. Men enter- 

 ing this event shall not enter Nos. 2 and 3. 



No. 2. Paddling, Class III.— 1,000yds., straightaway. Men enter- 

 ing this event shall not enter No. 3. 



No. 3. Paddling. Class IV. -1,000 yds., straightaway. 



No, 4. Paddling and Sailing Combined.— On triangle: paddle % 

 mile, sail % mile, paddle % mile, sail % mile, paddle % mile, sail 

 y 2 mile; 3 miles in all. 



No. 5. Sailing, Classes A and B.— On triangle, no limit to rig or 

 baUast; 4V6 miles. To be started in squadron if necessary. (See 

 Note B.) 



Note.— Canoes to enter Events 1, 2 and 3 must, be decked at least 

 half their length, be provided with keel or eenterboard to enable 

 them to sail to windward, and have two bulkheads or watertight 

 tanks, one in each end; in other words, properly equipped cruising 

 sailing canoes. Every canoe entering for the Record can compete 

 in three, races— one paddling, one sailing and the combined race. 

 Five Record prizes are awarded. The man getting first Record 

 prize will receive a large practical flag, showing him to be one of 

 the three Honor men of the year. There will be paddling Honor 

 man, the winner of the Paddling Trophy Race, and a sailing 

 Honor man, the winner of the Sailing Trophy Race. Record 

 points are scored as follows: The winner of a race is credited with 

 10 points, the last man to finish gets one, the number of men in 

 the race determines the points received by the others. Greatest 

 possible score, 30 points practical. It is not necessary to win any 

 one of the races to score the highest average. 



TROPHY EVENTS. 



No. 6. Sailing.— On the triangle, A. C. A. trophy. Classes A and 

 B; no limit to rig or ballast; time limit, 3 hours; 7J^> miles. The 

 American squadron will be selected according to the result of the 

 trial race— viz., event No. 5, with the exception, however, that the 

 Regatta Committee reserves the right to name three of the 

 American squadron independent of the result of the trial race, 15 

 in all. Besides the Silver Trophy (which the winner holds for a 

 year), a large practical flag will be awarded, showing tbe holder 

 to be the sailing Honor man of 1888. This flag is the winner's 

 property, and it is hoped that future Regatta Committees will 

 yearly award such a flag, in this race as well as in the paddling 

 trophy race and the Record. 



No. 7. Paddling.— One mile, straightaway. The contestants 

 will be selected as follows: The first aud second man in each of 

 Events 1, 2 and 3— together with two of the men selected from 

 among the contestants of Events 1, 2 and 3 by the Regatta Com- 

 mittee, 8 in all. It is believed that a suitable prize is being pro- 

 vided for this contest by individual members, to be held by the 

 winner for one year, as the sailing trophy now is.

NOTES. 



Note A.— As any programme for a fixed day, which includes 

 sailing races, is subject to the risk of being disarranged by a lack 

 of wind, the committee, has decided not to have any stated sailing 

 programme for each day, out to announce on the bulletin board 

 at 8:30 A. M. each dav the races to take place in the forenoon, and 

 at 1 P. M. each day the races to take place in the afternoon, with 

 the hour of starting each race. The first race of each forenoon

MOHICAN C. C, MAY 30. 



T 9 A. M. Dr. Masten's launch, the White Wing, steamed out 



the basin, having in tow the Necken, Henrietta, Kaw, Uncas, 



Oriole and Racquette, with Lundberg Smith, Wack, Brown, 

 Thomas and Bender as passengers, and Pilot Mix at the wheel. 

 The day promised fair, to be all desired, and the trip to the house 

 was too quickly made, as the Doctor showed as much anxiety as 

 the veriest able-bodied seaman to reach the lodge and the day's 

 sport by keeping the steam gauge at 125, while a light cloud clung 

 persistently to the pop valve. On nearing the lodge the old turtle 

 was seen flopping idly against the Hag staff, and on landing we 

 were greeted by Capt. Palmer. The boats were soon beached and 

 the steward landed sundry baskets, then Capt. Palmer jumped 

 aboard, and the launch was soon engaged in set ting the buoys. 

 Tbis was quickly done, and tbe White Wing was tit rest just off 

 the point, while her crew sought the cool of the' piazza and 

 patiently waited for the wind. 



No blessed breeze struck us the whole day, but occasionally a 

 flaw would steal over the river from the north which proved 

 only a delusion and a snare to several of the uninitiated, who, 

 aftor gently skimming the smooth surface for a few blissful mo- 

 ments' toiled with paddle many minutes to recover their lost 

 ground, the river still being very high and the current strong. 

 The executive committee being of a quiet, orderly and econom- 

 ical turn of mind, gently but (irmly impressed on us the necessity 

 of killing time by a house cleaning and add to our sorrow by 

 producing several cans and brushes with which each in turn pro- 

 ceeded to beautify the interior of the lodge with a coat of shellac, 

 while others agitated the mops and brooms. However, it paid 

 and they are to be congratulated on their nerve and fore- 

 thought. 



The crowning feature of the day was the ball game between the 

 Landlubbers and the A. B.'s, in which the Landlubbers failed to 

 score a decided victory, contrary to all expectation. Cant. Mix, 

 of the Landlubbers, filled the position of first base in a laudable 

 manner and Thomon and Staats on the battery were in danger of 

 a re-engagement, while Capt. Smith with Wack and Stanton, hav- 

 ing the welfare of the A. B.'s on their shoulders, were responsible 

 for the untimely slugging of their opponents. The result and the 

 umpire proved unsatisfactory, and the return game on July 4 is 

 looked forward to with mingled joy and apprehension. 



Three of the boys appeared in the afternoon and swelled the 

 chorus regarding tbe lack of the needful zephyr, while the gentle 

 murmur ;of the yacht club anchored just above the lodge was 

 wafted to us over the water with each recurring puff. 



The day as on outing was a great success, as a saiing day a 

 glorious fizzle. However, we had a paddling race— the first since 

 Com. Gibson scooped the club championship for the second time 

 in 1883— over a Yz mile course with a turn. Judge Masten sent 7 

 canoes off at 3:30, the new man Bender winning in 7M minutes, 

 with Capt. Palmer a close second, lapping in fact the Kaw. The 

 prize, a nickled lantern, was the gift of the captain. 



The return trip was uneventful but jolly, with songs and yarns, 

 while our able pilot clearly demonstrated to the fo'cas'le land- 

 lubbers that his craft had the right of way, being on the starboard 



tack. LANDLUBBER. 



DELAWARE RIVER MEET, MAY 26-31. 



T\HE second annual meet of the Delaware River canoeists was 

 _L held on May 36 to 31 at Delanco, tbe site suggested for the

ROSS LAKE REGATTA. 



THE Cincinnati C. C. held one of their popular meets in honor 

 of skipper Longworth's return from Europe, and the occasion 

 proved certainly memorable. Their commodious club house was 

 full to overflowing, and the quarterdeck and large wall tent were 

 pressed into service each night. The course was triangular, three 

 rounds, the first race and flag being won by O. A. Woodruff, of 

 the Ruckawa (Dayton, O.) C. C, canoe Dixie. Second, H. D. 

 Crane, Cincinnati C. C, canoe Laura. Wind in S.W. and steady. 

 Both used balance lugs, the former 120ft., the latter 110ft. - 



The next race proved a drift and was easily won by J. O. Shiras, 

 canoe Albatross, who on rounding the second buoy first, caught a 

 slant of wind and finished fully half a mile in the lead. He car- 

 ried two sprit sails, 60 and 40ft. The following is the record: 

 J. O. Shiras, Albatross... 1 1 1 +0. A. Woodruff, Dixie... 5 7 6

* Barred for "pumping" sails across finishing line. 



As usual, the novices capsized, the new "hull down" canoes did 

 not win, and the "ifs" were plentiful, but the meet was a great 

 success, and only sharpened the eagerness of every man for the 

 W. C. A. regatta now not far distant. 



To the A. C. A. and unattached canoeists a cordial invitation is 

 extended to attend the meet on Ballast Island, July 7 to 33. It 

 will be the largest ever held in the West. ' Jabber.
