FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Sept. 1, 1887. 



THE A. C. A. MEET OF 1887. 



RACK WEEK. 



Monday, Aug. n, 



AS a sailing ground tho waters about Bow-Arrow Point are 

 equal to any on which the previous meets have been held. 

 The outside course, as shown in the map in the Fobest and 

 Stream of July 23, is fairly in the open lake, and at times a heavy 

 sea was running, while in spite of some calms, the winds were 

 very good. An inside sailing course was also laid out easily, with 

 the base of the triangle along the camp front and the apex off 

 Simms's Point, when the water was too rough outside. Here the 

 paddling course, about a half mile, was marked out, starting 

 from the little wharf. The main sailing course was in full view 

 of the bluff, but the start was further off shore and the work over 

 the course was not as easily seen without a glass as at Grindstone. 

 The course was not accurately measured and the legs were all 

 over half a mile long. 



The actual location of the. camp is not correctly shown on the 

 map, as the tents were pitched along the east shore to the north of 

 E and not B. The front of the ladies' camp also was on the same 

 side, opposite the turning flag of the paddling course. The pro- 

 gramme, as published in the Fobest and Stream of May 26, was 

 fully carried out. only one race being dropped for want of entries, 

 the open single paddliug. It differed little from that of the pre- 

 vious year,but was more condensed. The paddling races with loaded 

 canoes were dropped. Classes 11. and I II. paddling single, were com- 

 bined, as were Classes A and B sailing, and with good results, as Class 

 A has proved itself fully able to sail on even terms with Class B; 

 and in the paddliug race the boats were about 15x29. Of course a 

 boat 15x26?4 would be eligible to this race, but she would he too 

 small for the sailing races and would fail to make a record, 

 though she might easily, in good hands, capture first prize in this 

 one race. 



The additions to the programme were the consolation race, the 

 sailing upset, the ''man overboard,' 1 and the club race. The A.C.A. 

 Trophy was sailed for this year only by Americans, the contest being 

 in no sense international. The arrangements for starting, etc., 

 and the entire, details of the races were well carried out and the 

 events were all well managed by the regatta committee in spite 

 of more difficulty from the weather than has usually been the 

 case. The plan of starting the sailing races in squadrons was 

 abandoned, as it was found to be unnecessary. The boats which 

 started in the various events were as follows:

The first notice posted on the bulletin board on Monday morn- 

 ing announced the combined sailing and paddling race for 9:30, 

 and tho A and B limited for 11 A. M., but there was no wind for 

 either, so at the latter hour event No. 1 was called.

6. Sylph, E.3C. Knappe 



The race was well contested, Mr. Leys winning easily, but he 



was disqualified for fouling Mr. Rice at the turn. 



The review of the fleet followed, there being 85 canoes under 

 sail or paddle. The fleet, in three parallel ranks, paddled past the 

 Commodore, saluting as they passed, then the sailing division 

 made sail and returned, the others paddling. There was too little 

 wind, but still the sight was very fine.

Irene, R. W. Baldwin 5 



Latona, Wm. Whitlock 6 



This finished the racing for the day. All the races were paddled 

 in smooth water with no current, but the course was not accur- 

 ately measured. In the evening a meeting of the executive com- 

 mittee was held, at which the new constitution, as published in 

 the Forest and Stream, was formally adopted, one or two 



changes being made, the principal one being the reduction of dues 

 to $1 as there proposed, but with a proviso that each member at- 

 tending a meet be assessed §1 in addition. This removes the ob- 

 jection so often made that those who do not attend a meet are 

 obliged to pay the same as those who do. The two protests of the 

 day were considered by the regatta committee, a number of wit- 

 nesses being examined and the judgments were made according 

 to their testimony. 



Tuesday, Aug. 2$. 



Eariy in the morning there was more wind and the sailing races 

 were posted on the board. 



No. 11. Sailing, on the triangle, Classes A and B.— Sail limited 

 to 75sq. ft. No limit to ballast. At 9:30 there was a brisk N.W. 

 wind and fairly smooth water outside. The first leg was to wind- 

 ward. The, summary was:

 No limit to rig or ballast. Open only to members who never sailed 

 a canoe prior to Sept. 1, 1886 ; 1J4 miles. 



There was a light rain falling by this time, with less wind. The 

 result was : 



1. Saone, F. M. Sinclair 27 01 



2. Riva, S. Schieffelin 29 18 



3. Vesper, R. C. Brown 30 53

9. Narka, H. E. Rice Capsized,[did not finish. 



By the time the race was finished there was a heavy rain with 



some sea and a strong wind, but the next race was called: 



No. 10. Sailing, on the triangh, Classes A. and B. No limit to 

 rig or ballast : Ay z miles. The trial race for places in the Ameri- 

 can squadron in the trophy race. Record event, The order of the 

 boats at the end of each round is shown in r-ninmno 9 a a . 



Pecowsic, G. M. Barney 



Lacowsic, E. H. Barney 



Ramona, Ford Jones 



Notus, R. W Gibson' 



The fleet had a good start, Notus, with full sail, 108ft., running 

 ahead, followed by Lacowsic with 90ft, Pecowsic, with only 60ft., 

 had too little sail and was besides in the middle of the fleet. Over 

 the first leg Notus gained on Lacowsic, gaining still more on the 

 second leg to windward, but on the reach the latter crept up a 

 little. On the windward leg of the second round Lacowsic gained 

 greatly on Notus and finally took the lead, holding it until on the 

 fourth round, near the end of the first leg, when she luffed up and 

 laid for some time head to wind to bail out. Here Notus came up 

 and passed her, luffing out to windward of Lacowsic as the latter 

 lay hove to. Blanche and Ramona had been fighting well for 

 third place, the latter leading for a good part of the course, but 

 Pecowsic, helped by the wind, which had freshened considerably 

 since the start, was after the two and finallv passed them. Again, 

 on the last round, Lacowsic stopped to bail, so that Notus came 

 in well ahead, with Lacowsic second and Pecowsic third. The 

 times and order at each round are:

Commodore. Gibson again wins the Trophy held from last year. 

 He has announced his retirement from general racing, and it is 

 very doubtful whether he will defend the Trophy again nexi 

 year. 



In the afternoon there was no rain, though the sky was cloudy 

 and the next race was called. 



No. 13. Sailing, Club Race.— Each club shall be entitled to three 

 entries. The first canoe to cross the winning line shall count as 

 many points as there are starters in the race; the second shall 

 count one less than the first, and so on to the last, which shall 

 count one, and the aggregate of the score of the canoes starting 

 for each club shall be the club score. To windward or leeward, 1 

 mile and return, for a prize banner. This is a new race, proposed 

 this year by Vice-Commodore Stanton, and though the entries 

 were small it promises to become a very popular event. The 

 summary is as follows: Re- 

 Finish. Score, cord.

At 5 P.M. the weather had changed, there was less wind, and 

 the sun was visible for the first time in the day. Event No. 8. 

 Paddling and Sailing Combined.— On the triangle, Classes A and 

 B, paddle H mile, sail 14 mile, paddle }4 mile, sail \& mile, paddle 

 *4 mile, sail % mile; 3 miles. Record event. This was the final 

 race:

Evangeline sailed weU and had a long lead on the last leg sail- 

 ing, but when near the line her mast went at the deck. Her plucky 

 skipper at once went to work to rig a jury sail and after some 

 time succeeded and sailed in, making tfie race but being last in- 

 stead of first. 



This completed the day's racing. The illumination and night 

 parade had been set for the evening, but on account of the weather 

 it was postponed. Three large steamers loaded with sightseers 

 came in during the evening and those on board were much disap- 

 pointed at not seeing the illumination and were disposed to blame 

 the Association. It seems that the entire country had been 

 flooded with handbills and large posters, gotten up on their own 

 account by the steamboat owners, setting forth in true circus 

 style the attractions of the camp and offering to carry passengers 

 at so much per head to witness them. This was done without the 

 knowledge or consent of the Association, and the blame rests 

 solely with the steamboat men. The A. C. A. camp is entirely a 

 private affair, and its races and displays are only for the enter- 

 tainment ol its friends and guests. The attempt to turn it into a 

 hippodrome was once tried at Grindstone, where regular excur- 

 sions, landing at the camp, were widely advertised, causing a great 

 annoyance to the camp until all landing was forbidden. Those 

 who have friends in camp, or who are themselves eligible to mem- 

 bership and desire to join, need have no trouble in visiting the 

 grounds, but those who buy a ticket to the camp as they would to 

 any public entertainment must only blame the sellers of the ticket 

 if they are refused admission. 



It is necessary here to speak of another evil beside these excur- 

 sions that needs to be promptly dealt with. Last year there were 

 permanently in camp a number of strangers, not members of the 

 Association, and tliis year the same thing occurred. At least one 

 of these interlopers this year was a person who would not be 

 allowed to join the A. C. A. and whose presence in the camp should 

 not have been tolerated. The clubs as weU as the Association 

 have often entertained guests who were not members, but unfor- 

 tunately the practice has fallen into abuse and a prompt remedy 

 is necessary, each member or club being held responsible for those 

 attending camp with them. The dues are so low that no gentle- 

 man, even though he desired to visit only one meet, would object 

 to paying them and to joining the Association, and except in cases 

 of well-known persons who come by invitation of the A. C. A. or 

 some of its members, no outsiders should be permitted to camp on 

 the grounds. 



Wednesday, Aug. M. 



The trophy race was set for Wednesday morning, but at the 

 hour, 10 A. M., there was a light rain and no wind. By 11 A. M.. 

 however, there was a good breeze from E.S.E. and the rain had 

 ceased, so the race was started. Tho first leg was free, the second 

 to windward and the third a reach. 



No. 12. Sailing on the triangle, A. C. A. trophy, Classes A and 

 B.— No limit to ballast or rig; time limit 3 hours; 7}£ miles. The 

 American squadron will be selected according to the result of the 

 trial race, viz.: Event No. 10, 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. 

 No foreign competitors appeared.

 second places in events Nos. 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 or 13 excluded. No limit 

 to rig or ballast; one mile to windward and leeward and return. 

 This proved a consolation race in name only, as it was sailed in 

 a very strong and squally wind and a sea, five canoes capsizing.

In the evening a meeting of the nominating committee of the Cen- 

 tral Division was held, at which officers for the ensuing year were 

 nominated. The illumination took place after dark, the camp 

 being hung with Chinese lanterns while the fleet, similarly decor- 

 ated, paddled past. Fireworks were displayed throughout the 

 camp and fleet, and the scene was a gay one. After it was over 

 the canoeists, with some visitors from other camps, including a 

 number of ladies, gathered in the big shed, which had been cleared 

 of the tables and decorated prettily with flags by the ladies from 

 Squaw Point. The orchestra consisted of a small parlor organ, a 

 cornet and two fiddles, the quartette making up in vigor what 

 they lacked in finish and expression. Merrily the old tunes rattled 

 out and merrily the dancers footed it until the building fairly 

 shook. The ball broke up at 2 A. M., every one voting it, the first 

 experiment of the kind at a meet, a great success.
