TORONTO C. C. CRUISING AND RACING. 



ON Saturday, Oct. 6, seven members of the T. C. C. started in 

 the club sailing race for first and second class canoes. The 

 start was effected at 3 o'clock with a nice east wind blowing, 

 which inside of fifteen minutes blew itself to pieces, at least that 

 is the conclusion arrived at by one skipper, who sat alternately 

 on the edge of a moderately sharp coaming and then on the floor 

 of his craft, trying to get in the way of a few patches of wind 

 that could be seen rippling the water here and there: with but in- 

 different success as the results showed. The wind blew about 

 seven different directions, and gave the lead to all competitors at 

 different stages of the first leg. After the first round the com- 

 petitors returned in the following order, as the race could not be 

 finished within the time limit: First Hyia, D. B. Jacques, first 

 class; second Vic ('86 Mac), A. Shaw, first class; third Dawn, 

 Wm. Leys, first class; fourth Isabel, ft. Tyson, second class; fifth 

 Cecebe, A. H.Mason, second class; sixth Mac, W. G. Mackendrick, 

 first class; seventh Dixie, A. M. Rice, second class. The sailing 

 stands at present Hyla and Mac one win each in first class, and 

 Isabel and Cecebe one each in second class, with the final race 

 Oct. 13. 



After the race was retired, four of the hardheads who have been 

 utilizing the time from Saturday till Monday during September 

 for camping and cruising, packed their duffle, and donning two 

 pairs of socks, two pairs trousers, three to four shirts, and with 

 great coats and oilers stowed aboard, laid out to have the last 

 camp of the season. Working on the principle that a meal under 

 the vest is worth two stowed in a camp kit, we disposed of a por- 

 tion of our edibles where they are easiest carried. Climbing 

 aboard we hoisted mizens, and,lighted by the starry firmamen t and 

 Tyson's brass lantern, we went bowling merrily over the bay. As 

 we sat holding the floor boards down, lazily smoking our pipes, 



with nothing more serious to engagge our attention than a foot 

 steering gear, it struck us that the canoeist's lot is worth scratch- 

 ing for, and that the average man doesnt't know the fun he can 

 shake out of an October cruise. 



Two tents were pitched, as the small camp of four was divided 

 into two distinct parties, termed ventilators and non-ventilators. 

 Isabel and Mac would not slepp in tent without the door left 

 partly open, and as Hyla and Waniska had threatened to whallop 

 the chap who would do such a thing, we divided, be it known that 

 it was not the aforesaid whalloping we were afraid of, but simply 

 a tightness in the money market had left us with hardly sufficient 

 cash to give them a decent burial in case they tried to evict us. 



We crawled into our blanket bags about 10 P. M., retaining the 

 three shirts and two pair socks, and with four thicknesses of blank- 

 ets between the fresh air that ventilation gave and ourselves, we 

 chatted away and again won our races and enjoyed our cruises of 

 the past, until the heavy, labored breathing of the occupants of 

 the next tent advised us that they were rapidly being overcome 

 by the heavy, foul, warm atmosphere that was extoled by the 

 "non-ventilators," but which was rapidly knocking them out. 

 (Probably they'll try a different kind of knock-out on me when 

 they see the aboveh 



We were just dropping off to sleep when we received a visit 

 from a water rat who first visited tent No. 1; but, not being used 

 to such a highly perfumed atmosphere as they bottled themselves 

 up in; he backed out and came bowling in to No. 2 tent with his 

 mien sheet adrift; he commenced to play tag or some such 

 game, about my feet till I gave him a hoist in the air and the um- 

 pire (Isabel) declared him "out" and a hunt with the lantern 

 failed to find him in. About 3 A.M. I was awakened by a frantic 



quietly 



crawled out of the tent, wondering what the deuce he'd done to 

 cause such a row. 



My partner gathered together his wordly goods and after walk- 

 ing all over me retired to the comfortable quarters in his 34in. 

 Pearl, leaving his other half to look after the mole. Tent No. 1 

 hearing the tramping to and fro and the noise down at the 

 canoes thought some one was trying to do them out of their craft 

 and yelled out, "Who's there?" waking the whole camp. Explana- 

 tions followed and after a hearty laugh and the bandying about of 

 such puns as don't mole-est me we rolled over. 



Breakfast of partridge, bacon, eggs, etc., put us in humor for a 

 good sail, which we indulged in till noon. Waniska being last 

 coming in dropped his sail, and, while monkeying about, fell into 

 about 10ft. of water and weeds, principally weeds. As he was be- 

 hind a point we did not see him, and his hy-ya-a's did not reach 

 us. He quoted the temperature of the water as being exceedingly 

 cold, so he lost no time in disposing of as much of his 2001b. body 

 as he could above high-water mark; straddling his canoe he pad- 

 dled her on her beam end into shore, and taking a brisk run to 

 encourage circulation he came across an old oyster can, that 

 answered to bale out the Waniska, and in 15 minutes he had pad- 

 dled into camp with an appetite for hot tea and bacon that would 

 secure him a place of honor among the heavy eaters of the South 

 Sea Islands. 



About 5 o'clock the return trip was made, and as each fellow 

 unpacked his dunnage he hoped that probabilities would favor us 

 with another last Saturday or two. Mac. 



Toronto, Oct. 7. 



IANTHE C. C. ILLUMINATION.— Wednesday night, Oct. 3, 

 was a gala night at the Ianthe C. C; under the leadership or 

 Messrs. Hobart and Farmer, the canoes were formed in a line 

 reaching from the club house to the opposite bank of the river 

 and at signal the line moved slowly up the river. Before dis- 

 banding a series of difficult maneuvers were executed with skill 

 and precision. The canoes were brilliantly decorated with 

 Chinese lanterns arranged with fairy-like effect, and the lights 

 reflected in the water scintillated .like many colored gems Fire- 

 works and different colored lights were set off in the vicinity of 

 the club house, lighting up the wooded banks of the river. Alto- 

 gether it was a brilliant spectacle, and the favored two hundred 

 who witnessed the carnival will remember the pretty scene as a 

 vision of fairyland. During the maneuvers the strains of an 

 orchestra stationed at the club house were heard on the water, 

 aud later dancing was indulged in. Among the visiting canoeists 

 were Messrs. Wilkin, Dunnell, Brokaw, Miller, Snyder and others. 



SPRINGFIELD CUP.-The final race for the Springfield cup 

 wassailed on the Connecticut River on Oct. 6, the c ompetitors 

 being Fly, Paul Butler; Eclipse, M. V. Brokaw; Agawam, Emil 

 Knappe; Dimple, G. C. Forrest; Girofle, F. A. Nickerson, the 

 latter taking the place of Drift. The wind was very strong and 

 puffy from N.W., but Fly carried 115ft. of sail and won by 6m. 

 Eclipse was second, carrying 85ft., but sailed badly inconsequence 

 of the mainmast being stepped in the after tube by mistake. 

 Agawam was third and Dimple capsized. 



Secretaries of canoe clubs are requested to send to Forest and 

 Stream their addresses, with name, membership, signal, etc., of 

 their clubs, and also notices in advance of meetings and races, and 

 report of the same. Canoeists and all interested in canoeing are 

 requested to forward to Forest and Stream their addresses, with 

 logs of cruises, maps, and information concerning their local 

 waters, drawings or descriptions of boats and fittings, and all items 

 relating to the sport.
