FOREST AND STREAM. 



[July 28, 1887. 



The ice house was a scene of hustle early Wednesday morning, 

 as nearly every one desired to enter for the first event. Grand 

 opening, sailing, 3 miles,twice around the half mile side triangle, 

 open to all canoes, no limit to ballast, hull or rig. The day was 

 clear and warm with a light breeze blowing, not strong enough to 

 kick up any sea. Twenty-seven canoes entered and started, 

 thirteen finished. The Nethla, a canoe quite similar to Lassie, 

 was loaned to Mr. Vaux to sail in and he was allowed to sail in 

 the race as a test of speed, his position at the finish not being 

 officially counted as he was not in his own canoe. 



The races are given in the order in which they were called, and 

 not as they appeared on the programme. The first race was 

 started at 9:80 A. M.: Time.

The starting line for the sailing races was too short to allow so 

 large a fleet to get an even start, yet the canoes got off well to- 

 gether, the windward boats having the advantage, as they were 

 able to make the first flag on one tack, while the others were 

 obliged to make three to clear it. Cook got a good start and 

 sailed the entire race making a side of the triangle in one leg 

 every time. On the first round Nethla was blanketed badly at 

 the start and had to make three tacks to clear the flag, giving 

 Cook a good lead. The wind held steady all through, though 

 light. 



Race Imo. 6 was called as soon as all the canoes in Event 1 

 returned. Paddling, Class I., one mile— half mile and turn.

By this time the breeze had almost died away and the heat was 

 too great to make paddling agreeable, so the races were postponed 

 till evening, and everybody rushed for shade and dinner. 



The annual business meeting was announced for 3 P. M., to 

 gather under the Jabberwock flag. Commodore Geo. B. Ellard 

 called the meeting to order, and Secretary Shiras read the min- 

 utes of previous meeting and also a treasury report. The associ- 

 ation is free from debt and has a substantial balance in the 

 treasury. The letter from the A. C. A. asking the W. C. A. to join 

 it as a division was discussed, and the question "Shall the W. C. A. 

 join the A. C. A. and become the Western Division? " was put to 

 vote— 35 no to 11 yes was announced by the. tellers as the result. 

 The W. C. A. therefore remains independent of the A. C. A. The 

 secretary was instructed to formally notified the secretary of the 

 A. C. A. of the result of the ballot. The officers for 1888 were then 

 elected, as follows: 



Commodore— C. F. Latham, Chicago, 111. 



Vice-Commodore— J. R. Bartlettt. Fremont, O. 



Rear Commodore— T. J. Kirkpatrick, Springfield, O. 



Secretary — George A. Warder, Springfield, O. 



Executive Committee — Harry Hodge, C. F. Pennewell and C. J. 

 BousQeld. 



Votes of thanks were passed to the Ballast Island Club for court- 

 esies shown the Association, and to the lady friends of members 

 who had made the prize flags. The meeting then adjourned. 



After supper, in the cool of the evening, before dark, two paddl- 

 ing races were called.

This wound up the racing for the first day. 



SAGAMORE C. C, LYNN, MASS.— The Sagamore C. C. have 

 held the following races this month: The Fourth of July races 

 were for prizes given by the city, and were as follows: Sailing- 

 First prize, silver water pitcher; second prize, silver cup. Pad- 

 dling—First prize, pair silver vases; second prize, silver medal. 

 Tandem paddling— First prizes, two pairs silver goblets; second 

 prizes, two silver medals. The winners are as follows: Sailing— 

 J. E. Raymond in the Loyola took first prize, -with F. E. Passmore 

 in the Ibis second. Paddling— Triton, F. I. Pettingell, first; Cur- 

 few, E. Bellatty, second. Tandem paddling— J. Campbell and F. 

 I. Petlingell in the Triton took first; E. Bellatty and F. E. Pass- 

 more in a Peterborough second. A gale of wind was blowing 

 during the races, which made fast time out of the question. In 

 the sailing race, each man being afraid of the others, no discre- 

 tion was used in reg rd to sail, and as a result five out of nine 

 starters capsized before the finish. The Triton is a light canvas 

 canoe, 16ft. X26in., with a light deck and centerboard, and that 

 alone accounts for her winning the two paddling races, all of the 

 others being heavy canoes, built for sailing. The Curfew was the 

 first to finish in the sailing race, hut was ruled out for crossing 

 the line outside of the judges' boat at the start. A canoe capsized 

 under her lee, and her captain, not having room to clear her with- 

 out going about, took the only chance he thought of, and as a 

 result lost the race. A race for the club pennant, held by the Cur- 

 few, was sailed over the club course of three miles on July 10, with 

 the following results: Curfew first, Chrystal second, Wenuchus 

 third. The first of a series of six sailing races was held by the 

 club on July 16. The wind was very light and no time was taken. 

 The winners were: Curfew first. Ibis second, Loyola third. These 

 races are for three prizes, the one winning the most to take first, 

 the next the second, and the next third. This race also included 

 the club pennant, which is a perpetual challenge trophy, and has 

 been held by the Curfew since October, 1886. Most of the members 

 are taking 'more interest than ever in canoeing, and are busy 

 making new sails and rigs. The only difficulty that we labor 

 under is the lack of wealth to experiment as much as we would 

 like; yet for home talent we can display as good a fleet as any club 

 in the country. Every effort will be made to secure a good repre- 

 sentation at the A. C. A. meet at Bow Arrow Point in August.— 

 White Wings. 



A. C. A. CENTRAL DIVISION, Albany, July 23— The general 

 '-usiness meeting of the Central Division will be held at the A. C.

 Aavpvt e6 for officers for the ensuing year will meet on Wednes- 

 „=v,-hnv(iug, at 8 o'clock, and will report to the Division meeting 

 as aoove. . desirable that the fa cers be elected before the A. 

 n'nm Centra is called on Friday following.— R. W. Gibson, Vice-
