air. then righting her after making a complete revolution of her 

 under his feet. While the. sails laid in the water he stood on the 

 side of the boat, walking hack and forth. 



The next I ace was the paddling upset, the starters being Palmer 

 and Pattou. Mr. Palmer won, turning his canoe completely over 

 by a quick motion without leaving his seat in the well. 



The obstacle race, like the cruise, had no entries and was 

 abandoned. 



The hurry scurry race had but three starters, Palmer, Pattou 

 and LaMotte, the former winning. 



A tug of war created great amusement, two large open canoes 

 being joined by a stout line. Each had four paddltrs with single 

 blades, one crew being Messrs. Townsend, Amory, Foster and 

 French; the other Messrs. Robertson, Brazer, Kimball and 

 Schuyler. The former crew won two heats out of three. Owing 

 to lack of time the review was given up. The tournament was 

 very amusing, there being four crews. 



The annual camp-fire was held on the hill in the evening, a 

 number of visitors being present. The annual meeting was 

 first held, the annoucement of the result of the election 

 being made. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. D. S. Sandford 

 for his kindness and liberality, and also to Com. N. L. Weather- 

 bee for assistance rendered to the Association in preparing for 

 the meet. Thanks were also voted to the various committees and 

 to the donors of flags, after which Mr. Vaux distributed the prizes. 

 A number or songs were then sung, the tire heing kept up 

 until nearly midnight. Mr. Stoddart took a photograph of tne 

 group by means of the magnesium light. A pleasant incident of 

 the meet was a gathering of those who had been present at any of 

 the previous meeis at Lake George, on the west shore in sight of 

 the Canoe Islands, where they were photographed. 



Friday, Aua. 2k. 



Many tents were struck on Friday morning and the camp began 

 to look decidedly smaller. The first event was the club race with 

 the following entries: Fly, Paul Butler, Vesper; Minnie G., F. T. 

 Walsh, Vesper; Drift, J. Gage, Vesper; Lassie, C. B. Vaux, Jabber- 

 work; If, Geo. A. Warder, Jabberwock; Dimple, Geo. C. Forrest, 

 Haitford; Agawam, E. C. Knappe, Springfield; Guenn, Wm. 

 Whitlock, Brooklyn; Evangeline, H. L. Quick, Yonkers, Gohlin, 

 A. B. Pattou, Yonkers. 



The course was % mile to windward and return, two rounds. 

 Fly won, with Lassie second and Dimple third. Mr. Butler takes 

 the individual prize and the Vesper B. C. the club prize. 



The. final race was the Consolation, with 7 starters: 



Guenn, Wm. Whitlock 1 



If, Geo. A. Warder 2 



Lassie, C. B. Vaux 3 



Dimple. Geo. C. Forrest 4 



Ethel &., J. H. Campbell 5

This finished the racing, and in the afternoon a large number 

 left camp. Some will stay a few days longer and then cruise 

 down the lake. 



OTTAWA C. C— The second paddling race in the challenge 

 series of the Ottawa C. C. took place on Aug. 18. The entries 

 were: O. A. Wheeler. Clarabelle; W. H. Cronk, Greta; C. G. 

 Rogers, Joe; F. H. Gisborne, Omide. Clarahelle is an open Eng- 

 lish canoe 15ft.x29!/gin., and llin. deep; Greta is an Ontario Co. 

 patent longitudinal strip canoe, lS^ft.xSO., and llin. deep; Joe, an 

 Ontario Co. open canoe, 16ft.x28in.» and 9in. deep, and Online, an 

 Ontario Co. partially decked canoe, 16ft,x£8in., and 10m, deep. 

 There was a" westerly breeze, which made the canoes hard to 

 steer, especially the deeper ones, but otherwise the day was per- 

 fect. The canoes made a good start, Cronk leading, Rogers 

 second, Gisborne third and Wheeler fourth. Cronk turned the 

 buoy first, Rogers next and Gisborne third, and then the hard 

 paddle home began, the three canoes heing well together. The 

 extra depth of Greta now began to tell, and she became verv 

 hard to steer. Gisborne then took second place, and the race laid 

 between Rogers and her, the former being a length or more 

 ahead. Each paddler did his best to vary the relative position 

 of the canoes, but not much success was apparent, the time at the 

 finish being: Rogers 10.15, Gisborne 10.18, Cronk 12. Wheeler's 

 time was not taken. 



N. J. A C. CANOE RACES.— Gold medals will be given to the 

 ■winning crews in each of the canoe races, single and tandem,

 cept No. 6 single blades only may be used, and Messrs. Leys and 

 Jacques were without double paddles. Ross and Lowe used 

 double blades, thus giving them a great advantage. Robertson 

 and Howas led at the start, hut Leys and Jacques soon passed

 was 10m. 9s.

RACING ON LAKE MAHOPAC. 



THE third race for the Dean House Cup was sailed Saturday, 

 Aug. 18, in a very light wind, shifting between southwest and 

 northwest. The course was the usual one sailed over twice— ten 

 miles in all. The start was made about 11 o'clock with a light 

 breeze from the southwest Trifler crossed the line first, followed 

 by Mattie, Vixen, Mist, Mischief, Dart and Flora in the order 

 named. Spinakers were 3et for the run through the Girt, but a 

 sudden shift of the wind to northwest caused them to be quickly 

 taken in. Although the last to start. Flora carried a good wind 

 all the way to the first buoy, and gained rapidly upon the other 

 yachts. After rounding the first buoy, and while leading the 

 fleet, the Trifler's throat halliard came away at the gaff and her 

 sail came down with a run. Before the oamage could be repaired 

 and the sail again hoisted she was far behind. The second Buoy 

 opposite the Thompson House was turned by the yachts in a 

 bunch. At this buoy Flora wrongfully compelled Vixen and 

 Mattie to run out of their course to avoid collis'on, and also 

 fouled Mischief by running info her from behind. In the mean 

 time Trifler, having regained some of her lost ground, rounded 

 the buoy and started for home first, but was quickly picked up 

 and passed by Flora, and afterward by Vixen, both yachts carry- 

 ing clubtopsails, which were of immense service to them in the 

 very light wind. The first round was made by Flora, Vixen, 

 Trifler, Mattie, Mischief, Mist and Dart as named. The same 

 order was maintained to the finish, except in the case of the 

 Trifler, whose throat halliards gave way a second time on the 

 beat home, causing her to again drop back. She, however, 

 regained her relative position and finished third. 



The Flora, which is owned by the proprietors of the Dean House, 

 was sailed by the crew of professionals under Captain Fabian, 

 who have been brought to the lake on the occasion of each cup 

 race this year, and have been allowed to sail notwithstanding 

 protest. All other boats were handled by guests of the hotels ai d 

 cottages, the captains being: Vixen, W. S. Patterson: Trifler, E. 

 O. Dusenbury; Mattie, E. Ponwert; Mischief, W. Nash; Mist, D. 

 Sturgis; Dart, Mr. Engler. 



The fact of the Flora's having run amuck at the Thompson 

 House buoy did not prevent the a warding of the race to her; and 

 a broom raised to the topmasthead was the proud emblem of vic- 

 tors' at last, though through much tribulation. D. 



LARCHMONT Y. C. 



THIS week will be a busy one at Larchmont as the annual fall 

 regatta will be sailed on Saturday, while on Friday a special 

 race will be sailed for yachts from 35 to 41ft. l.w.L, the course 

 being 27 miles. A special cup will be given and it is expected 

 that Nymph, Pappoose, Banshee, Biboon. Chiquita, Crocodile 

 and Rival will start. The usual oysterboat race w r as sailed on 

 Ang. 18, and was a decided success, all the arrangements being 

 well carried out by the regatta committee, Messrs. Willard, 

 Greacen and Scott. The summary was:

It was a beat to the buoy and a run home. Gracie started with 

 85ft. of sail, and at the end of three-quarters of a mile reefed to 

 69ft. The other boats carried full sail, from 18 to 27yds. At the 

 end of miles the Warren, being far in the rear, gave up. The 

 Gracie gave up at the end of 2 miles. George Ritter, the owner 

 of the canoe Sadie, sailed the tuckup Volunteer. 



STRANGER.— Mr. Warren's cutter arrived at Queenstown on 

 Aug. 12, after a passage of 23 days, in which she experienced 

 some very heavy weather, springing her boom and boxing her 

 bowsprit. On one day she ran 218 knots.
