 requiring two wins. He had a close call for the prize, however, 

 and only won in shooting off the tie with Mr. J. Paton. The fol-

TORONTO CANOE CLUB.-During the past winter the dif- 

 ferent aquatic clubs of Toronto have amused themselves and 

 tbeir mends by holding "smoking concerts" which, as may be 

 supposed, are conducted in a very free and easy style. Not the 

 least enjoyable of these was the one lately given by'the members 

 of the Toronto C. C. The visitors and friends having fired up 

 the ball was set rolling by Com. N. A. Powell calling for the 

 opening hymn by the chorus, which was quickly followed by 

 songs, etc., nearly all of which had rollicking choruses in which 

 every one joined. Several readings were also capitally rendered 

 the whole being interspersed with stereopticon views of canoe and 

 camp life by Mr. Hugh Neilson. These were chiefly from photo- 

 graphs taUen by himself of the club while on their different 

 cruises and meets and recalled many pleasant recollections to 

 those who had participated in them. On account of the lack of 

 space some very interesting bouts with gloves and foils had to be 

 ruled off. This also prevented their tug-of-war team from dis- 

 tinguishing themselves as they had done once before on a similar 

 occasion. Thanks are due to several members of other clubs who 

 attended and assisted materially in making the evening pass so 

 pleasantly. The affair broke up about 11 o'clock by singing the 

 national anthem. 



CANOEING AT OTTAWA. -A new canoe club has been formed 

 at Ottawa, Can., in connection with the 43d Battalion of Ottawa

 Grant, C. Abbott Ed. Mills and A. W. Jones; Auditors-G. Spittal

 the present will make the Rideau Canal their cruising ground. 

 The colors of the club are cardinal and navy blue. The flag is 

 blue and has a cardinal bar and the letters R. C. C. . . At the an- 

 nual meeting of the Ottawa C. C. the following officers were 

 elected: Com , E. King; Capt., F. H. Gisborne; Sec, Henri Roy ;

 Black The club propose to hold their annual regatta on the 

 Ueschenes Lake, an extension of the Ottawa River about 8 miles 

 above the city, and to hold a camp in connection with the regatta 

 Several new sailing canoes have been added to the fleet and quite 

 a number of paddling canoes. The season was opened on April 5 

 the ice having left the river unusually early this year.
