Mr. Blow, of California, mado the first speech when the mica 

 tion of joining the A. 0. A. was put before the meeting. He al 

 hided 10 the gentlemanly letter from the A. 0. A. secretary, and 

 asked for a full discussion of the subject before colling for a vote. 



been urged over and over again, and closecfhisromarks by stating 

 that he could not see any disadvantages that would accrue to the 

 W. C. A. bv becoming the Western Division A. 0. A. 



Commodore Ellard urged that there were absolutely no advan- 

 tages to be gained by a union— that independence would be sacri- 

 ficed and some money. 



Mr. Bartlett slated that he could not understand what the W. C. 

 A. would receive in return for the 30 per cent, of their dues that 

 would go into the A. C. A. treasury. 



Mr. Kirkpatrick (president of the League of American Wheel- 

 men) stated that the advantages of one general meet each year 

 were questionable, that the L. A. \V. had tried it for seven years 

 and would never again hold a general meet. He said the small 

 meets were most enjoyable, less costly, and involved less work on 

 all those having the matter in hand, and therefore he voted 

 against a union which would tend to make the entire organization

Book, which cost money, would no longer be necessary, and its 

 cost should be deducted from the 30 per cent, due the A. 0. A. if 

 the exact cost to each member of joining the A. C. A. was to be 

 calculated. Quite a number of the members undoubtedly had 

 Strong personal reasons for not wishing to join the A. C. A., and 

 these were, of course, not stated, but contributed more to the final 

 result than the formal objections made by the speakers. 



The 30 per cent, of the division dues, which it is proposed to put 

 In the A. C. A. treasury to meet expenses that should be shared 

 bvall the divisions, is only experimental as to amount. If so 

 much is not needed, less will be asked for another year. The 

 treasurer's report will he published and every member can see 

 what the money goes for and protest if it is not expended econom- 

 ically for the benefit of all in his opinion. In the A. C. A. letter 

 to the W. C. A. the percentage was simply put at 30 to form the 

 basis for a discussion, and was not stated to he an absolute unal- 

 terable amount. There being provision made for a division 

 meet every year covers the objection made by Mr. Kirkpatrick. 



Whatever the final outcome of this matter shall be, let A. C. 

 A. andW. C. A. men remember that they are canoeists and go 

 canoeing for fun, and therefore nothing out the most friendly 

 relations should exist between them, whether they go in one 

 road or follow parallel lines. Their interests are identical, the 

 ad vancement of all canoeing matters. The universal good fellow- 

 ship that existed in the early days of canoeing munt not be for- 

 gotten. Let us have one sport at least free from petty bicker i aga 

 and sectional jealousies, and let that sport be canoeing, the most 

 independent of all sports. 



KEYSTONE C. C.-A fall regatta will be held (the first in the 

 history of the club), at which several prizes will be raced for and 

 all members are expected to take part. Mr. Norgrave has just 

 returned from a cruise up the Delaware as far as Trenton and the 

 falls above, and on the return cruised up several of the creeks, 

 which arc numerous along this river, where a canoeist will find no 

 end of sightseeing. The accident to a canoe, (fresh in the minds 

 of canoeists) some time ago has set canoeing a little backward, 

 but the maimer in which a canoe can be handled by a careful per- 

 son can be seen by the following: On returning from a trip up 

 oue of the creeks a small gale was blowing, in which the Picnic 

 skipped along under all sail, and it was a dead beat to windward, 

 and upon arriving in the open stretches of the river, the canoe 

 fell in with a fleet of boats known as duckers, cuts of which have 

 appeared in the Forest and Stream, and in the course of a few 

 miles several duckers were capsized, drowning one man while the 

 others were rescued with difficulty. The club house has now been 

 occupied several months, and is being fitted up by degrees, the 

 first floor being well stocked with canoes, only three racks re- 

 maining vacant, and the upper floor being fitted as a parlor. A 

 singular coincidence, which I think has not happened in an v other 

 city is, the Philadelphia G. 0., the K. CO., and Q. C. C.'C. are 

 situated one alongside of the other, all three using the same slip 

 and float.— R. B. 



REGATTA AT LAKE HOPATCONG.— The yacht club at Lake 

 Hopateong, N. J., held a regatta on July SO, and had a sailing race 

 for canoes and rowboats. There were eight entries, five canoes 

 and three boats, but it was very soon seen that the canoes had the 

 race among themselves. J. L. Douglas, in the Idlemere, was the 

 lirst to finish, with Geo. P. Douglass, in Old Ironsides, second. On 

 the first leg to windward, during a squall and shower, the tandem 

 canoe No Name, occupying third place, carried away her main- 

 mast and retired. When the squall and shower were over and 

 some fifteen minutes from the start, Mr. Culver bravely started 

 with large sails (the wind having fallen greatly), in a racing canoe 

 to overtake the others. He did not do so, although his time was 

 quite close to that of the Idlemere.— O. I. 



BAYONNE C. C— The regatta of the Bayoune C. C. was hold ou 

 Newark Bay on Aug. 14, the races being as follows: Seni r singles, 

 paddling, 1 mile with a turn, F. A. Boardsley in 4:57, beating If. P. 

 Collins, second. Junior singles, A, Oliver in 4:40, J. L. Collins, 

 second. Senior tandem, G. Knowlcs and A. O, Oliver, in 3:03. A 

 rush of a quarter of a mile wiih the tide and paddling, R. Peebles, 

 in 2:50. Oae-quarter mile with the tide, standing up, F. B. Collins 

 in 0:55. Upset, 11. Peebles. The club wiU hold a fair about the 

 middle of September to raise funds for a better club house. 



TORONTO C. C— Messrs. H. Neilson, G. R. Baker, Arthur 

 Mason, Fred Mason, J. W. Kelly, If. C. McLean, J. H. Cameron, 

 A. C. Anderson and Fred Morphy are on a three weeks 1 cruise to 

 the Muskoka Lakes. Mr. W. G. McKendrick is now in England. 



NORTHERN DIVISION MEET, STONY LAKE. 



DU RING the past two weeks Stony Lake has again been alive 

 with canoes, as in 1883, and its many islands have been white 

 with tents. The camp, under the command of Yice-Com. Col. 

 Harry Rogers, has been most successful. A large number of 

 Canadian canoeists were present, besides Dr. C. A. Neide and Ins 

 father and brother. On Aug. 2 and 3 large camp-fires were held in 

 the evening and on Aug. 4 there was a cruise to Eel Creek. On 

 the following day the review and illumination took place. On 

 Monday, Aug. 8, the unlimited sailing race for decked canoes was 

 the first called, with 10 entries, Dr. Neide winning, with W. A. 

 Levs second and S. Brit ton third. The sailing race for opeu canoes 

 followed, won by Colin Fraser, with W. Reid, J. S. Hawkins, and 

 H. F. McKendrick in order, there being 9 competitors. Reid, 

 Ha wkins and McKendrick were ruled out for fouling the buoy. 



The one mile paddling, Class 2 and 3, was won by Dr. Douglas, 

 from five competitors, with Colin Fraser second. The one mile 

 tandem paddling, open canoes, resulted as follows : 

 P. W. Strickland, Lakefield, and H. S. Greenwood, Royal 



Military College, Kingston 1 92 



John N. McKendrick and Harry F. McKendrick, Gait 7 03 



Samuel Rritton and A. F. D. McGachen, Lindsay 7 04 



The upset sailing race was very amusing. Each canoe carried 

 mainsail only, upsetting at the signal. Colin Fraser won. The 

 tournament was a sucoess, giving good sport. J. N. McKendrick 

 was finally victorious. On the following day the first race was 

 the paddling, won by IT. F. McKendrick, with W. A. Leys second. 

 Mr. Leys also won the next paddling race in his canoe Dawn. The 

 throe-paddle race resulted as follows: 



P. W. Strickland, H. B. Greenwood and Arthur Blade 1 



D'Arcv Strickland, R. C. Strickland and Dr. Douglas 3 



J. N. McKendrick. H. F. McKendrick and W. A. Fraser 3 



The winners used two double and one single blade, the second 

 men one double and two singles, and the third all double blades, 

 paddling badly. The next was a tandem, lady and gentleman: 



Dr. Douglas and Mrs. Wright, Lakefield 



H. McKendrick and Miss Topsy Hall, Peter boro 2 



D'Arcy Strickland and Miss Bloomfield 3 



The portage race was won by H. S. Greenwood. The "catch the 

 duck" race was a novelty. A young boy was sent out and five ca- 

 noes chased him. the test being to hold him for five minutes. He 

 finally kept clear for the allotted time and won, after upsetting 

 several by diving under their canoes. 



A special tandem race for hoys, the prizes being two belts given 

 bv Judge Dartnoll, of Whitby, was won by E. Talt and F. Lefever. 

 The officers of the Northern Division were elected in the evening. 

 Commodore, A. T. D. McGachen, of Lindsay: Rear-Commodore, 

 Wm. G. McKendrick, Toronto; Purser, Sam L. Brittou, Lindsay; 

 Executive Committee, Wm, Graham, Lakefield; John N. McKen- 

 drick, Halt: John Miller, R. A.,Peterboro; Kirwan Martin, Hamil- 

 ton; Wm. J. A. Read, Bobcaygeon. The first three of these are 

 members of the Executive Committee of the A. C. A., and the 

 other two are members of the division board only. Some discus- 

 sion took place about the financial relations of the A. C. A. and its 

 divisions, resulting in the passing of the resolutions recommend- 

 ing that the initiation fees of new members should go to the 

 divisions, and that the general secretary of the A. C. A. Bhould 

 receive no fees except through the division pursers. 



The officers of the meet were: Regatta Committee, Roland C. 

 Strickland, Lakefield, chairman; J. G. Edwards, Lindsay, and 

 John M. McKendrick, Gault; referee, Dr. Douglas, Lakefield; 

 judges, Judge Weller, Peterboro, and Geo. W. Strickland, Lake- 

 field; starter. James Graham, Lakefield; clerk of the course, Wm. 

 M. Graham, Lakefield; timekeeper, J. L. Harstone, Lindsay. 



THE FIRST BRITISH CANOE MEET.— The united meet, un- 

 der the auspices of the R. C. C, has been very successfully organ- 

 ized on the gem of all the Norfolk waters, namely, the Oulton 

 Broad, near Lowestoft. So far, excepting heavy thunder showers 

 on Sundav afternoon, the campers and sailors have been favored 

 with simply perfect weather. The heat has been tempered by a 

 gentle breeze, and the sun somewhat gently veiled by passing 

 clouds. The place of honor in point of attendance is deservedly 

 won by the intrepid Mersey members, who equal, if they do not 

 exceed in actual numbers, the R. C. C. men in camp. Their boats, 

 which are so different in model, and so much simpler in rig and fit- 

 ting to the ordinary canoe with which we are familiar in these 

 home waters, attracted a good deal of favorable comment. There 

 is no doubt that they are a development of a boat that owes its 

 origin to the waters on which they have to sail, namely, a, tidal 

 est'uarv. Quick in stays, smart and shippy looking, with plenty of 

 room for stores, they are certainly handy crafts— under canvas, at 

 any rate. The boat that seems to please most men, and which 

 created favorable comment from yachtsmen as well as canoeists, 

 was Mr. Wilmer's recently-launched craft, which no doubt will 

 be, if it has not already been, described in the Field. Perhaps 

 Mr. Winner will put his ready pencil to work, and favor the 

 readers of the Field with the lines, dimensions, rig and fittings of 

 the said canoe, if he considers it is entitled to be classified in the 

 canoe navv. The towns represented, and this is mentioned to indi- 

 cate the wide area from which the men have traveled to attend 

 the meet, are Manchester, Liverpool, London, Leeds, Hull, Stoney 

 Stratford, Chester, Woodbridge, Beccles, Stratford, Kingston-on- 

 Thames, etc. There are six or eight ladies, who seem to have a 

 most pleasant time of it on the gaily-painted and neatly-finished 

 wherrv, while there are upward of twenty canoes, besides other 

 sailing craft, as instance Mr. Holmes's new yawl, which can 

 hardly be classed as canoes. There is a total muster of about 

 thirty people. It remains now for those who are interestiHiiii 

 popularizing a canoe meet as an annual occurrence, to consider 

 in what, way and at what place the 1888 meet is to come off. and 

 how far they, as individuals, can help it.—Seirern in London Field, 

 Aug. 6. 



A. Ci A. MEET.—The camp ib now established at Bow-Arrow 

 Point and canoeists are coming in daily with every prospect of a 

 large and successful meet. We shall give a full account of the 

 meet and camp next week', and of the racing in the following 

 issue. 



NEW YORK Y. C. CRUISE. 



Morgan Cups, Vineyard Haven to Marblehead, Aug. S-9. 



THE story of the cruise last week came to an end with a brief 

 and incomplete summary of the race for the Morgan cups, 

 the long and tedious drift making the finish too late for a fuller 

 account. The race, though very unsatisfactory, proved another 

 victory for Volunteer, and is worthy of a longer story than time 

 then permitted. Much of the glory of the cruise has naturaUy 

 gone to Boston, but that the yachtsmen of New York are not lack- 

 ing in spirit and liberality is shown by the prizes offered on the 

 present cruise. Mr. Goelet's generous gifts have been repeated 

 for so many years that they are looked upon almost as a matter of 

 course, but this year they were supplemented by additional cups 

 from Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, of the steam yacht Corsair, offered 

 In the following letter: 



New York Harbor, Aug 1, 1887. 1 

 Steam Yacht Corsair, N. Y. Y. C. f 

 To Ellrridgc T. Gerry, Commodore in esmmand of the N. Y. YacJit 

 Squadron, New London, Conn.: 

 Dear Sir— With a view to increase the interest m the approach- 

 ing cruise of the New York Yacht Club at Marblehead, and to in- 

 sure, if practicable, a combined movement of the fleet to that port. 

 I wish to make you officially the following proposition to be laid 

 before the meeting of the captains of the yachts at New London 

 on the 3d inst. . , . » _. . , 



I am prepared to offer cups to be raced tor by the yachts be- 

 longing to the New York Yacht Squadron on the run from Holmes 

 Hole to Marblehead Rock. One cup. value $1,000, for schooners; 

 one cup, value $500, for sloops over 71ft. on waterhne; one cup, 

 value $500, for sloops 71ft. or less on waterhne. The yachts to 

 start at one gun signal from an imaginary line drawn north from 

 East Chop Light, and the time of finish to be taken at a stakeboat 

 to be anchored in a line between Marblehead Rock and the south- 

 ern point of Lowell Island. The yachts to be in cruising trim. 

 The conditions I impose are simply that at least four yachts shall 

 enter in each class, and that the race, shall take place as soon as 

 weather •will permit after the Goelet Cup race at Newport, giving 

 one week day thereafter for the yachts to reach Vineyard Haven 

 from Newport. , ■. , .„ 



As I cannot, be present at the meeting on the 3d of August, will 



The course for the race was off East Chop Light, past Cross Rip, 

 Handkerchief and Pollock's Rib lightships, and finish oft Marble- 

 head Rock, the distances being Pollock's Rip 30 miles, Marblehead 

 Rock 75 miles, total 105 miles.

The wind was blowing fresh from northeast as the fleet worked 

 out about 6:80 A. M.. Electra being in position off the East Chop 

 light. The one gun start was a success, the fleet going over 

 promptly and the leaders earning all they made by sheer skill.

Clara was hindered by two fouls above the line, a large schooner 



on port tack putting her about. At the start the little Iseult. the 



smallest yacht in the fleet, lost her topmast, but pluckily con. 

 tinned the raee. The experiment certainly shows the practica- 

 bility of a one. gun start, the fleet being as large as in any of the 

 ordinary regattas and all going over promptly without a'mishap. 

 America, started in the race b, consent of the Committee. 



Volunteer and Puritan were at the head of the procession as the 

 fleet began to stretch from a compact mass into a. long, straggling 

 line. Puritan was a little ahead, Volunteer to windward of her; 

 Grade, Bedouin, Wanderer, Stranger, Atlantic and Cinderella 

 were nearly abreast, with Stranger to windward; astern of them 

 were America and Palmer; and Mayflower, to windward, was in 

 Bedouin's wake. Grouned together in the middle of the fleet were 

 Resolute, Troubadour, Sachem, Huron, Norseman, with Priscilla 

 astern of them, and Iroquois after her, while the rest were strung 

 out astern. Mayflower soon came up with Bedouin and Atlantic, 

 passing Bedouin to windward, Mayflower touched but came off 

 on the Stone Hedge, injuring her hoard, though the full extent 

 was not known for some days. 



At 7:20 Mayflower was up with Atlantic, Bedouin was in May- 

 flower's wake, both well to windward, Stranger was astern of 

 Bedouin, aud Priscilla on Stranger's weather beam, while 

 Titania, with working topsail only, was astern but to windward 

 of Priscilla. On a line with Titania, but t« leeward, were Huron, 

 Resolute and Sachem, with Troubadour on Resoiute's port quarter. 

 Most of the fleet woro swinging clubtopsails. Stranger and 

 Bedouin had balloon foresails, and Sachem had a balloon jibtop- 

 sail, as had the large single-stickers. Titania carne up on Stranger 

 and at 7:80 was ahead of her. At 7:50 Norseman made a, try for 

 Troubadour's weather, but failed to get beyond her quarter. A 

 little later she tried again and with better success, passing to 

 windward of Troubadour. Early in the fight Huron singled out 

 her old rival, Stranger, and by 8:80 she had worked to windward 

 and abeam of her. By this time the middle of the fleet was 

 abreast of Cross Rip Lightship, the leaders being timed: 



Volunteer 8 22 00 Palmer 8 39 00 



Puritan 8 26 00 America 8 39 00 



Mayflower 8 29 40 Norseman 8 41 CO 



Atlantic 8 31 20 Sachem 8 39 30 



Priscilla 8 32 00 



Priscilla had caught Atlantic and left her to leeward about 8 

 A. M. Gitana had started with the rest, but near the line she met 

 with a mishap to her bnbstay and was compelled to put back for 

 repairs. The wind had fallen lighter and was more uearly ahead 

 as the yachts worked for the Handkerchief Liehtship, the leaders 

 changing their positions hut little. It was 9:83 when Volunteer 

 first tacked and 10:20 when she passed Shovelful Lightship, having 

 passed Handkerchief at 9:53. Bedouin was well ahead of her class, 

 with Grade second. The times taken at Pollock's Rip were: 



Volunteer 10 41 45 Bedouin 11 10 33 



Mayflower 10 57 30 Grade 11 11 02 



Priscilla -.10 59 50 Sachem 11 23 55 



Atlantic 11 01 32 Palmer 11 28 33 



At 11 A. M. the fleet was scattered between Pollock's Rip and 

 the Handkerchief Lightship, most of the yachts beine close to the 

 low and sandy shores o<" Monomoy Point. The wind was very 

 light, the weather pleasant, not too warm and with a glorious 

 blue sky, such as most of the cruise was blessed with. The leaders 

 now around the point are placed by the figures above. Sachem 

 had stood well in by the Point on port tack, crossing Palm- 

 er's bow; Stranger was M mile to windward of Fanny; Iroquois 

 was in near the land with Titania to windward, while astern of 

 her came Troubador and then Resolutet Astern of Resolute was 

 Norseman, while Pocahontas was on Resoiute's le n quarter some 

 di t nee away. Coming up astern was Cinderella, with Clara 

 overtaking her, while Mischief was still further in the rear. 

 Stranger led Titania at Pollock's Rip, but neither were timed. 



The "race had now become a drift, most of the yachts holding 

 close in shore, while Graeie, Resolute, Varuna, Vision and Mis- 

 chief stood far out to sea. Electra left the fleet, and steamed for 

 Marblehead, arriving at 5:15 in the afternoon, and taking position 

 off Cat Island, where the Commodore and regatta committe stood 

 watch and watch all night. Slowly the hours passed, but they 

 were better off than the sailing division becalmed off Chatham 

 and Nausett. Those in-'hore anchored, but some were too far out 

 to do so and simply drifted. An old sea rolled in, tumbling and 

 tossing the boats about for a dozen hours uutil every timber 

 creaked and groaned and every fibre of steel and manilla was 

 strained and tortured. Canvas was lowered on some of the yachts, 

 but others had just enough of the delusive wind at intervals to in- 

 duce them to keen mainsails up. Slowly the boats would roll to 

 port, over went the sails, every individual reef point in each beat- 

 ing its own tattoo, and then, just as slowly and irritatingly would 

 she roll to starboard. Puritan andTitarda lost their topmasts at this 

 work in a flat calm, but none of the rest suffered any damaee at 

 the time, though a number paid on Thursday for the heavy rolling 

 and strainine of Monday night. Dawn brought a little wind to 

 some, but the offshore division still lay and roUed until nearly 

 noon, when a light S W. breeze came in and sent them home. 



All through Monday afternoon and evening the rocks of Marble- 

 head had been black with crowds of spectators Who watched for 

 the leaders of the fleet, and early on Tuesday morning they were 

 in their places again. Boston's cup of glory and victory had been 

 full the night before, when she turned out iu force, with her 

 mavor aud council at the head, to do honor to one of her sons, the 

 great, the only Sullivan. A statesman? No. A poet, an artist, a 

 sculptor, an actor, a man who has won triumphs through dis- 

 coveries in the world of science or achievements in the domain 

 of art aud letters, who has done something to aid his fellow men? 

 Nothing of the kind; on the contrary, a prize fighter, the boss 

 Blngger, a man who can stand no longer and hit harder than any 

 of his kind. Proudly and triumphantly Boston ard her dignitar- 

 ies had clasped the golden belt around the massive waist of the 

 slugger, and it seemed as though the summit of her glory had 

 been reached, but still another triumph, if a lesser one was in 

 store, for the fleet Volunteer was even then stealing quietly away 

 from her fellows and fanning on toward the finish, though it was 

 not until long after daylight that her sails were made out in the 

 distance, ton far a way to distinguish her. At 7:42:13 she crossed 

 the line and sailed into Marblehead Harbor. There was little 

 wind at the time and the rest of the fleet came up very slowly, the 

 last not being timed until 4:30 P. M. Mayflower came second at 

 10:07:38, Priscilla at 10:22:18, and Sachem at 10:40:04. Titania gave 

 up and went into Boston, and Puritan did the same, for a new 

 topmast in time for Thursday's race. Bedouin led her class and 

 took the $500 cup, while Clara beat Huron, Stranger, Fanny and 

 Pocahontas of the class above her, as well as Cinderella in her 

 own class. Little Ulidia also beat Pocahontas. Iseult. with no 

 topmast, did not arrive until the night, while several others that 

 started did not finish. The official times were:
