In addition a race for the Springfield Cup was arranged to take 

 place during the meet. 



The sailing course is shown on the map ai F G H, the start be- 

 ing at F. A blue flag on the starter's boat indicated that all 

 ma.ks would be left on starboard, the first leg being F CK while a 

 white dag denoted that the course would be sailed the other way. 

 The paddling races were for the first time all straightaway, a 

 great improvement; the start being at K, abreast of Squaw Point, 

 and the finish at. F. The paddling trophy race, however, was 

 paddled from a point below the dock on the east side to the lower 

 end of South Island. The regatta committee used a steam launch 

 which was hired by several members who wished to follow the 

 races. The canoes were timed from a rowboat anchored at the 

 start and finish, the clerk of the course being Mr. David A. Poe, 

 .if Montreal, with Mr. Harry La Motte, the camp bugler, as time- 

 keeper. 



MhHtld>y, Aiu{, 80. 

 The camp is now complete, including 228 members up to last 

 night. It is gay with (lags aud streamers bea ring the names of the 

 various clubs. Monday dawned with a strong and steady breeze 

 from N.W., covering the lake with white caps, so the regatta com- 

 mittee decided to call the Unlimited sailing race at once, with the 

 principal paddling races later in the day. The course for the sail- 

 ing race was off the south end of the island, triangular. 3 rounds. 

 The wind had decreased by 10 A. M., but was still so fresh that 

 Those who could do so took in one reef, while the others selected 

 their smaller rigs in expectation of a continuance of the blow. 

 With a fleet of over thirty starters it is impossible to describe in 

 ■detail the many different rigs, or even to assort and classify 

 them, but the majority perhaps were enlarged and distorted 

 ■copies of Peeowsic's sails. There was but one balance lug (Mr. 

 Stewart's), no lateens. hut an odd lot of different rigs, all with 

 mils abaft the mast, those that could be reefed and furled being 

 mainly of the sort in which the yard hoists vertically to form a 

 topmast. 



The start was given at 10:30, the racers being in a chose group 

 about the line, going o er in a tangle, with several collisions. 

 The Drsl leg was one-half mile, a broad reach, with booms to 



Fold Jones, Charm. Mr. Walter Stewart, and Fly, Mr. Paul But- 

 ler. The second leg was also a reach, after jibing at the buoy, 

 and the order was a little changed. When they came on the 

 wind for the third ieg, however, the race at once became more ex- 

 citing. Eclipse rounded and went on starboard tack toward the 

 Canoe ! -lands, making a long hoard, while Dimple, followed by 

 Charm, held to port tack, working to tfte east. When th^y met 

 again Eclipse led across Dimple's bow, while Notus was close to 

 her. Eeliuse. was first to finish the round, with Notus second. 

 Dimple came for the buoy on starboard tack and Rj.mona on 

 port, the latter being obliged to give way and drifting on the 

 htioy. Dawn. Mr. Leys, followed Dimple, with the fleet scattered 

 over the wdiole course. Charm had lost badly in the windward 

 work. 



Wnen the windward work began aga in ou the third leg of second 

 round: the order was Eclipse, Notus, Dimple, Fly, Dawn. The 

 wind had been growing lighter, which was bad for Eclipse with 

 two Pecowsic sails of 80ft., wnile some were carrying 110ft. or 

 more, but she still continued to gain. '1 he last round found the 

 wind dying out fast, but Eclin-e still he'.d her place, winning 

 easily with Notus second. Mr. Barney had only 75ft. of sail and 

 made but a poor showing beside the big rigs. The. summary was 

 as follows; 



1st 2d 3d 

 Round. Round. Hound. 



Ellipse, M. V. Brokaw, Brooklyn Ill 



Notus, R. W. Bailey, Pittsburgh 3 3 3

Ethel G., . I. H. Campbell, Sagamore 11 10 



Cnarm was thirteenth boat. Tne first eleven in this race are 

 eligible to sail for the trophy, the committee having the right to 

 select three others, while Sir. Stewart makes up the required num- 

 ber, fifteen. Eclipse is a new canoe, built by Mr. Ruggles, 

 and ha- proved a very fast ho it in her racing this year at New 

 York. She is owned by Mr. B'ake. of the Brooklyn C. C, and was 

 brought to the meet and sailed by Mr. Brokaw. 



The first paddling race was started after dinner. Event 8, Class 

 1, the water being very smooth with no wind. The course was 

 one miles raightaway, all turns being abolished this year. The 

 summary was: 



Levis, H. Torrance, Brock vide. Agawam, E. Knappe, Springfi'd. 



Narka, H. E. Rice, Sprm^field. , A. Ainory, Jr. Boston. 



, W. A. Leys, Toronto. Kaw, M. Bender, Mohican. 



Scoot, L. B. Palmer, lanthe. Elf, E. L. French, Buffalo. 



Torrance led with Rico second, Leys making a tine spurt near 

 the finish, but coming in 20 sec. nds astern. 



The next, race was No. 1 of the programme, Class If., paddling, 

 had only two entries: 



Goblin, A. B. Pattou, Yonkers 8 28 



Rat, Grant Edgar, Newburgh 8 55 



Gobi m won by 27 seconds. 



Event No. 2, paddling, Class III., 1,000yds. straightaway, had 

 but 7 starters. One of these, however, was Vice-Corn. Rice, prob- 

 ably the best paddler in the States, and another was Mr. Johnson, 

 of Toronto, so well known from his previous victories at the A.C. 

 A. meets. Mr. Johuson has not paddled for several years at a 

 meet, and much interest was felt in the meeting between him and 

 Or. Rice. Johnson's boat was an open Canadian canoe, 16x28, 

 while Rice's was a very beautiful decked canoe built by Mr. Rug- 

 gles, 16x28, and fitted with a board and mast tubes, but weigfiing 

 no more than Johnson's ooat. Both men used double blades, 

 Rice's being straight and Johnson's spoon. Rice led from the 

 start, Johnson being second until the last quarter of the race, 

 when Knappe, who iiad been pushing Johnson, put on a spurt and 

 finished in second place. The summary was: 



Narka, H. E. Rice, Springfield - 9 48 



Agawam, Emil Knappe, Springfield 10 00 



Bonnie, M. F. Johuson. Toronto 10 33 



Dimple, 6. ' !. Forest, Hartford 11 23 



Event 3, Clas3 IV., paddling, followed, with 5 starters, over the 

 same courst: 



Eclipse, M. V. Brokaw, Brooklyn 7 02 



Dawn, W. A. Leys, Toronto 7 45 



Charm, Walter Stewart, Royal C. O 7 48 



Wicassie, Ralph F. Brazer, Vesper 8 07 



Elf, E. L. French, Buffalo 8 08 



Eclipse led e sily from the start with Dawn second, but on the 

 last quarter Charm put in a fine. spurt and closed up Dawn's lead. 

 This w r as Mr. Stewart's first essay in a paddling race, and he was 

 loudly cheered as he pushed for second place, but he missed it by 

 4ft. The other two races set for the afternoon were postponed. 



On Monday night the business meeting of the Central Division 

 was held, resulting in the election of Rcar«Oom. Huntington, of 

 Rome, to fill Com. Bailey's place, of E. W. Masten, of Albany, as 

 Knar-Commodore, P. H. Stryker, Rome, N. Y., as Purser, and F. 

 F. Andrews, Rochester, as member of the Executive Committee. 

 The. question of a division meet for '89 was discussed, and the 

 general sentiment was that if the A- G. A. meet, which goes to 

 the Northern Division, should be held far over the Canadian 



border it would not be possible to secure a large attendance from 

 the Central Division, and it would be necessary to hold a Division 

 meet. If, on the other hand, ttie annual meet should be held on 

 Grindstone Island the Central Divisiou would make no attempt 

 to hold a Division meet, but would go to Grindstone Island instead. 

 The feeUng in camp is generally in favor of Grindstone Island 

 for the annual meet of 1889, and while the choice rests mainly 

 with the Northern Divisiou, the selection of Grindstone would 

 moot with the approval of the majority of members south of the 

 St. Lawrence. 



A meeting of the Atlantic Division was also held during the 

 evening at which the question of a Division meet for 1889 was 

 discussed fully. The sentiment was in favor of a meet of at 

 least one week in some locality near New York and west of the 

 East River, probably about the Highlands of Navesink. It is 

 proposed to start a cruise of two or throe days prior to the com- 

 mencement of the meet, so arranged that members from different 

 points in the Division may join, reaching camp at the beginning 

 of the meet. 



TlirMkty, Anil. 



The first race called for Tuesday was the tandem paddling, 

 decked canoes, 1,000yds, The crews were: 



Rice and Knappe, Springfield \ 



Johnson and Torrance, Toronto and Broekville 2 



Brokaw and Schuyler, Brooklyn 3 



Pattou and Quick, Yonkers i 



Rice and Knappe paddled the Narka, Johnson and Torrance 

 paddled an open Canadian canoe with decks over each end and a 

 centerboard, Brokaw and Schuyler paddled the Eclipse, and Pat- 

 tou and Quick the Goblin, an old American Nautilus. Rice and 

 Knappe won by a good distance, Johnson being second aud Bro- 

 kaw third. 



Event 11 was for open canoes and single blades. The crews 

 were: 



Torrance and Leys, Brockville and Toronto. ] 



Robertson and Kimball, Newton, Mass g 



White and Putnam, Lawrence, Mass 3 



Amory and Townsend, Harvard O. 4 



Torrance and Leys won very easily. 



The novices' race was next called, the wind being S.E.aud mod- 

 erate, with water fairly smooth. The course was one round of 

 the regular triangle, \% miles, the first leg to win t ward. There 

 were 7 entries, the order at the finish being: 



Drift, J. A. Cage, Vesper 1 



Minnie U.. F. T. Walsh, Vesper •> 



Wicassie, R. F. Brazer, Vesper 3 



Caona, W. R. Haviland, Yonkers 4 



Anita, O. T. Conner, lanthe 5 



Bachelor, Barron Fredericks, lanthe 



Kaw, M. Bender, Jr., Mohican y 



The maneuvering race, event 18, was the last race of the morning. 

 The course was about Simile, each conipet'tor being compelled 

 to throw overboard a Half paddle and pick it up again. Ford 

 Jones, in the Ramona, was the first to recover his paddle, Brokaw, 

 in the Eclipse, bad a good lead, but was slow In getting his pad- 

 dle, taking second place. Walter Stewart, in the Caarm, was 

 third, and Warder, in the If, was fourth. 



A very long time was wasted after dinner before the racing was 

 resumed, the 75ft. limit race being called at 4 P. M., bv which 

 time the wind, which had blown well for a time, had dropped 

 very light. Two rounds of the course were sailed. Charm took 

 the' lead at the line, as she did in the unlimited race, but soon 

 lost if. The rare was between Ramona and Eclipse, the former 

 leading over the course, but hotly chased by Eclipse. The sum- 

 mary was:

There were 20 starters. It, was after 5 P. M. when the race 

 finished and no others were called. The weather was cloud v with 

 a little rain, and the general illumination was postponed, but 

 many fireworks were sent off in the evening, with songs about the 

 camp-fire. During the day Mr. and Mrs. N. It. Bishop were in 

 camp. 



IVeiliiesdny, Aug. 188, 



The chief sailing event of the meet, the race for the A. C. A. 

 Trophy, won in 1886 by Com. Gibson in the Vesper, and in 1887 by 

 bitn in the Notus, was called on Wednesday morning, the Weather 

 being cloudy with some rain and a strong N. W. wind, Of the 15 

 contestants who are admitted to race for the Troph v. one, Mr. 

 Walter Stewart, came from England as the representative of the 

 Royal C. C. Of tho remainder 11 were the leaders in the unlimited 

 race, while the other three were selected, as provided in the con- 

 ditions, by the committee. The full list as posted was: 



Walter Stewart— M. V.;Brokaw, R. W. Bailey, G. C. Forrest, 

 Paul Butler, F. T. Walsh, W. O. Leys, PL L. Quick, William 

 Wheeler. E. H. Barney. J. H. Campbell— W. Whitlock— D. S. God- 

 dard. G. A. Warder, Ford Jones. 



Vice-Com. Bailey w T as too ill to sail, and of the others Mr. 

 J. jEL Camppell withdrew in favor of Mr. E. L. Knappe. 



The race was started at 10:31, the first leg, F G on the. map, be- 

 ing free. The fleet was closely bunched, some fast boats getting 

 a very bad start, but Charm was in too groat a hurry and her 

 big lug mainsail was well across the line before gun fire. Eclipse 

 was just beside her but far enough astern to cross prone ly. 

 Charin did not recrosa the line but continued in the race, being 

 too far distant from the starter's boat for a recall to reach her. 

 She continued over a part of the first round and then withdrew, 

 as she was doing very badly. The mainyard was entirely too 

 light and the leech was In a bag. Eclipse not only had a good 

 lei id over the pack but made the most, of it, and at the first mark 

 led (Jue fleet, holding her place through the first of the five rounds. 

 She jibed at the mark and had a good start on second round before 

 the second boat, Dimple, came up. The wind and sea had mode- 

 rated, but there was still breeze enough to make a jibe somewhat 

 exciting. Instead of jibing at once Dimple ran off her course as 

 though intending to withdraw and then hove to, wnile several 

 canoes passed her. Fly was the first of these, jibing neatly, then 

 followed Ramona, Agawam and If, before Dimple, after tacking, 

 started ou second rouud. At 11 o'clock the wind was blowing 

 quite fresh with rain and quite a sea near the second mark, the 

 windward one of the course. Fly was overhauling Eclipse, the 

 latter having shipped some water and finally stopping near first 

 mark on second round to bail out. Fly was sailing with a small 

 suit of reefing sails borrowed for the race, and 011 this round the 

 lashing at tack and clew parted, leaving the mainsail naif loose 

 on the foot. If was sailing very fast on the second round, pass- 

 ing Agawam aud then Ramona on the second leg, thus taking 

 third place. When near the second mark ou first round '"Rug- 

 gles" capsized in a sudden "twister" off the hills. Mr. Barney 

 climbed aboard, but went over a second time and was picked up 

 by the launch. 



There was some excitement as the leaders came up for the end 

 of the second round, running across very fast. Fly gained on 

 Eclipse each moment, aud at the turn passed her and took first 

 place. If was now sailing well in third place and catching the 

 loaders, when on the first leg of the third round she capsized. 

 Several paddlers at once put out to her aid, but Mr. Warder de- 

 clined all help. Swimming alongside, ho uustepped the main- 

 mast and righted the boat, then climbed aboard, aud in a most 

 dextrous manner worked forward on deck and stepped the sail a 

 battened Pecowsic sail of 50ft. W r nen it is considered that the 

 wind was still blowing hard, the mast tube was but a foot from 

 the stem, and the sail was of such a shape that the boom could 

 not be topped up against the mast, the difficulty of the feat will 

 easily be understood. 



On third and Court h round f ly gamed grea tly.at one time having 

 a lead of 2m., but on the latter part of the fourth round the wind 

 fell, and Eclipse rapidly came to the front. Fly jibed and started 

 on the first leg with Eclipse a little astern, the latter sailing wing 

 and wing, while Fly had both booms on the same side. They 

 turned the first mark close together, and then Eclipse went to 

 windward of Fly. When near the second mark Fly lost the wind 

 for a short time, Eclipse increasing her lead and coming in first. 

 If was 111 hard luck, parting her rudder chain at the end of the 

 fourth round, and sailing out the race with a paddle to leeward 

 to steer by. Guenn came to grief through a mast tube that col- 

 lapsed, the mast tearing up her deck. Ramona was sailing well 

 and holding third place at the end of the first round, but at the 

 end of the second sue bore away for home and e-ave up the race. 

 The order on the various rounds was: 

 1st.

As so m as the Trophy race was well under way at 10:37, Event 

 No. 19, Class sailing, was started with but two entries: 



Finish, 



Madeline, 16x31, W. L. Palmer, Mohican .11 52 19 



, W. M. Paxton 11 54 07 



Madeline Sailed the two rounds with a good lead and won easily. 



From the small response that has been made to the attempts of 

 the A. C. A. to bring out entries in this class, it woujd appear 

 that for the present at least there is no active desire to race on 

 the part of the owners of these canoes, and the same applies to 

 sneaaboxes find other unclassi fieri craft. 



After dinner a very strong N.W. wind was blowing, and the 

 race for the Springfield ( 'up, whieii was set for 3 P. M , was post- 

 poned, in the evening the illumination and display of fireworks 

 took place, as in previous years, the canoes being handsomely 

 decorated with Chinese lanterns, the best display being that of 

 the Harvard C. C. 



A meeting of the executive committee was held at 8 P. M. with 

 Com. Gibson in the chair, the to] lowing members being present! 

 Sec.-Treas, Mix; Central Division, Vice-Com. Huntington, Rear* 

 Com. Masten. Purser Stryker; Eastern Division, Vico*Com. Rice. 

 Purser Marsh, Mr. Shedd; Northern Division, Messrs! Edwards, 

 Wright and White as proxies for Vice-Com. Tyson, Rear= 

 Com. Robinson and Purser Fraser; Atlantic Division, Vice" 

 Com, Stephens, Rear-Corn Palmer, Purser Dunnell and Mr, 

 Brokaw, After reading the minutes of the previous meeting, 

 nominations were called for, and Viee^Oom, Stephens proposed 

 Onl. Harry C. Rogers, of Peterboro, for Commodore, being sec- 

 onded by Mr. .shedd. Col. Rogers was elected by a unanimous 

 vote, after which Mr. White proposed for Secretary-Treasurer 

 Mr. Geo, W. Hafton, of Peterboro, seconded by Mr. Wright, and 

 the election was unanimous. The question of the terms of office for 

 division officers was discussed, and it was decided that an amend- 

 ment to the Constitution was desirable, making the term of office 

 date from the close of the general meet following the division meet 

 at which t he officers are elected; also that the limit of 30 days from 

 election, within which the vice-commodores must appoint their re- 

 gatta committees for each division.be abolished. These amend- 

 ment s w ill be present ed to the ex ecu t I've comm if tee at the fall mcet- 

 mg. It was also decided that it would be best to change Article VI., 

 Section 1, by the insertion of the words "October or," thus allow- 

 ing the meeting at which the camp site for the following year is 

 selected to be held before bad weather sets in, 



Vice-Com. Stephens offered the following addition to Article I, 

 of the By-Laws, which was adopted: '•Non-members of the A. Ci 

 A. when accompanying members, may be admitted to the camp 

 at lite discretion of the commodore aud secretary; provided that 

 if thev spend more than two nights in camp tne member intro* 

 dncing them shall pay for each the annual dues and camp fee 

 paid by regular members." A vote of thanks was passed to Coin. 

 Gibson and Secretary Mix. Messrs. Edwards and Wright were 

 appointed a committee to wait, on the commodore and secretary- 

 elect and iuform them of their election. On motion of Vice-Com. 

 Stephens a committee consisting of the vice-commodore and 

 purser of each division was appointed to draw up a form of appli- 

 cation for membership to be used in common by all divisions. 

 Thtmdoy, Aug. 30. 



Thursday was clear and pleasant, and at 10 A. M. the race for 

 the paddling trophy was called, the following men being elogibb : 

 Pattou, Kdg^r, Rice, Knappe, Brokaw, Leys, Johnson, Torrance. 

 The course was on the east side of the camp, something over half 

 a mile. Only three starters came to the line. 



Narka H.E.Rice Springfield. 



Bonnie M. F. Johnson Torouto. 



Agawam ,E» C. Knappe . Springfield , 



Narka and Agawam arc regularly decked canoes of the usual 

 type, Bonnie being a Canadian canoe, with decks at each end, two 

 bulkheads and a metal board, so as to come within the rules; 

 Narka bad no bulkheads, their place being supplied by pigs' blad- 

 ders. Narka took the lead, her crew sitting back easily and pad- 

 dling with little apparent exertion. Dr, Rice takes a long stroke, 

 using feathered paddles and turning the blade a quarter-turn on 

 each stroke, thus easing the work on the wrist, as each hand 

 grasps the paddle in turn while it revolves in the other one. Mr. 

 Johnson stood upright in his canoe, using two paddles spiced to- 

 gether to make a 13ft. blade. He stooped down and leaned far 

 forward on the beginning of the stroke, to all appearance working 

 very much harder than his antagonist. Mr. Knappe was seated in 

 his boat in the usual position. At the start both Narka ana Aga- 

 wam led Bonnie, the fatter gathering way very slowly, while 

 Narka went off like a flash. Soon Bonnie took second place, but 

 could not hold Narka, tne latter gaining every stroke. At the 

 finish Narka led by seven to eight lengths. As Johnson crossed 

 the line he fell in a faint, in the bottom, of his canoe and for a 

 minute threatened to roll her over, but «u»n. recovered himself. 

 The race was a beautiful one, probably the best taat has ever 

 been paddled by the A. C. A. 



The race for the Springfield Cup was called at once and started 

 at 10:37 over the triangle, two rounds. The day was clear, with a 

 moderate N.W. wind, sometimes coming in heavy puffs and again 

 dropping to a calm. The starters were; 



1st. 



Eclipse, M. V. Brokaw 2 



It, Geo. A. Warder 1 



Charm, W alter Stewart 3 



Kamona, Ford Jones 5 



Girofla. F. A. Nickerson 6 



Dimple, Geo. C. Forrest , . 7 



Wicassie, Ralph Brazer 4 



Blanche, D. S. Goddard 8 



M nnie G., F. T. Walsh 9 



Evangeline, H. L. Quick. 10 



Slab, C. P. Nichols Capsized. 



The start was down wind. Eclipse going over in good season, 

 with Charm close astern. On the first leg If took second place 

 and near the second mark passed Eclipse. G'he latter steered 

 a better course running for the third mark, but still If held her 

 and started the second round with a good lead. Blanche and Slab 

 capsized on the first leg. The windward leg of the second round 

 was very pretty, Eclipse gaining a little on If. The latter turned 

 the second mark ahead, but laid for a minute or so becalmed, 

 Eclipse coming up on ber with a breeze. Wheu the wind did 

 come it was a puff off a high hilltop and struck her very sud- 

 denly. Each sail jibed three times, the boat running away, while 

 her crew bad all that he could do to keep her up witbimt any 

 thought of the course or finish. Eclipse too was reeling about, 

 before the same squall, but probably caught less of it than II; at 

 any rate she was driven less off her course. She came out of 

 the squall with a safe lead and If could not catch her in the, 

 short distaucc to the finish. Eclipse thus holds one leg for the 

 cup and is entitled to enter the final sail off this fall at Spring- 

 field. The cup is a very haudsome piece of metal work, ot oxi- 

 dized copper, resembling silver in appearance. 



The next race, Event 4, paddling and sailing combined, was 

 started at 12:13 with 8 starters.

Goblin, A. B. Pattou 7 



Wicassie, Ralph Brazer 5 



Dimple, Geo. C. Forrest 8 8 



Mr, Stewart threw away whatever chance he may have had by 

 startiug with a small single blade, all the rest having double 

 blades, which useful articie does not form a part of the outfit of 

 the Charm. Dimple came to the line after all the others had 

 covered a good part of the first leg, and then started to paddle half 

 a mile to windward with sails half stowed and blowing about. 

 She held on pluckil v, but with no show of success. On the second 

 round the wind fell to a calm. 



After dinner the sailing upset was started with five starters: 

 If, Ceo. A. Warder; Atalanta, L. B. Palmer: Chann, Walter Stew- 

 art; Sirene, A. S. Putnam; Ethel G., J, H. Campbell. 



At the start Mr. Palmer's mainmast carried away at the deck. 

 Mr. Warder caps'zed his canoe at the signal until her masts and 

 sails laid flat in the water, then stepped outside on the center- 

 board, wetting only his feet, and righted the canoe, sailing over 

 the. line. After finishing he again capsized the canoe, this time 

 until the masts were downward and the centerboard up in the
