This was the fourth race ot the series for Rear-Corn. Paton's 

 cup, and though only four boats started, they were all of the first 

 class. A shower came up and killed the wind when the boats 

 were rounding the first buoy, but it afterward freshened and held 

 for the remainder of the race. Yukwa got the best of the start 

 and was never caught, though her lead of 4m. at the western buoy 

 was reduced to lm. 10a. at the finish. Jean A. sailed very well 

 and was second boat when the wind was light. Duggan and Wal- 

 lace have each scored two races in the series, of which only a 

 postponed race remains, for which Duggan is not entered. Judges,

THE WESTERN CANOE ASSOCIATION MEET- 



BALLAST ISLAND, JULY 13-29. 



THE Ballast Island meet for 1889 is a thing of the past, and as 

 the last, man toppled his lent and. like the Arab, silently 

 stole away, he dropped a regretful tear that meets could not last 

 forever, and ibat a long, cold winter and raw spring must inter- 

 vene between the next gathering, July, 1890. 



It being the first meet in four years the writer has attended 

 without a canoe, he probably saw the ra-ing and working of a 

 camp from a more placid standpoint than ever before, and should 

 some of his ideas clash, remember they are the views of but one 

 man as they presented themselves, 



Canoeically the camp was not a success Social] v it was a howl- 

 ing one. 



Two causes detracted from the all absorbing interest there is 

 generally felt in a canoe meet, first too many women— the squaws 

 were more numerous than t lie braves, for every man who had a 

 wife or sweetheart had the same and her friend's on Ballast. 



The statement that there were too many ol the fair sex may 

 sound strange, coming from one who generally passes most of his 

 leisure moments during a meet at Squaw Point, but nevertheless 

 it is an undisguised fad that canoe uice's and t he ladies don't go 

 well together. The men become indifferent alike, to cruising and 

 raring. They dress too much and dislike wetting their new 

 flannels for the sake of a glorious dash I h rough the whitecaps of 

 Luke Erie. Instead of rigging and numicmg ca noes they are off 

 on the yachts with mandolin, guitar, banjo and ices, lnstoad of 

 the old time gatherings on the docks and around the campfire 

 discussing their various hobbies, they are away till the wee sma' 

 hours with steam launches to the ballroom floors of the neighbor- 

 ing hotels. 



It's pleasant, but, alas It is not canoeing, and so long as the W. 

 C. A. stay in the close, proximity of cottages and club room, and 

 enjoy the refining influence of charming women they cannot have 

 the old time never-to-be-forgotten barbaric meets of years gone 

 by. 



A movement is on foot to hold the camp of '90 in the primitive 

 way with a mess tent and no squaw camp, and we sincerely trust 

 that it may be tried for one year at, least. 



The second cause for the small attendance was that the 

 W. C. A. has not been kept before its members through the 

 papers and otherwise, so i hat int. rest has been lost by many who 

 have departed tor new fields of pleasure to pass their vacation. 

 Only the old faces put in an appearance; no new racers of the 

 dark horse character led the fleet to the windward buoy. 



A new departure has come, however, in the shape of Class C, 

 and interest centered in the Longworth cup race for that class 

 Thirteen new boats entered the arena. We cannot call them 

 canoes, for although sharp at both ends they are not "capable of 

 being efficiently paddled by one man," and are therefore fitted with 

 bow-facing oars. They are nearly all 16X40, and are rigged in 

 various ways. There was the miniature schooner, that when 

 Grated took four men to lift: the catrig man whose Lift, boom 

 would have capsized him surely had he been compelled to sail 

 free; the leg-of-mutton, with enormously tall sticks to spread 

 his limit of 110 sq. ft.: the balance-lug man, who when it fresh- 

 ened had to reef and hike out his best or take a, ducking, and 

 close sailing sloops that could run away from the rest in light 

 winds, but played a luffing match to keep right side up when the 

 Wind increased. 



Strange as it may appear, each and every man built his Class C 

 for comfortable, sailing and cruising only (V),vet with one excep- 

 tion every cockpit was tilled with a trunk for a plate hoard, and 

 each carried unlimited hags of ballast i o aid their weight on the 

 windward rail to keep their craft, from capsizing. 



In no race in which these comfortable cruisers participated did 

 the wind blow other than light, and much regret was expressed 

 by a disappointed audience that their seaworthiness was not 

 tested, but from the swampy condition in which some, returned 

 to the dock, it may be taken for granted that the '-life-savin °- 

 crew" would have demanded salvage, had there been anything 

 like the sea in which ihe Class B sailed for the Gardner cup. 



It was conceded that the smaller canoes were faster, t he races 

 proved it. and some enterprising mug-hunter will build just out- 

 side the Class B, and wm the trophy next year. 



For a canoeist living upon open water a Class O W no doubt a 

 good craft— a small sloop is more comfortable, and a 50ft. yacht 

 still more so— but for a river or small lake man to own a boat 

 that he cannot paddle or lift alone, and still consider himself a 

 canoeist, makes it appear that tbe old original spirit of perfect in- 

 dependence had departed. 



A new rule was made last winter by the executive committee 

 abolishing standing rigs, and requiring all sails to be capable of 

 lowering and reefing. The committee did this, believing it was 

 the popular opinion of the Association, that it was unsafe to use 

 the lateen, sprit and Pecowsic sails, but it was amusing to see the 

 dummy reef lines on some of the racers who risked (!i their lives 

 regardless of laws, and who were as he.lpJe,-s to shorten sail as 

 ever a standing sail man was. It does seem like carrying author- 

 ity a little too far when the kind of sails a canoeist shall use is 

 dictated, and a petition from the Class B men will be presented 

 and accepted by the executive committee at, their next meeting to 

 rescind the rule. 



We have seen the light standing sail live through a blow, when 

 the baggy water-logged boom of the reefed sail, and heavy spars 

 of the hoisting rig, have capsized their skipper. We have seen 

 the canoe with standing rig capsize in a gale, and then without 

 assistance be righted, sail on and finish the race— a feat almost 

 impossible in a heavy sea with a hoisting rig and mass of tangled 

 lines. We have always regretted to see that the "get there" 

 qualities of the standing rigs have such a galling effect upon the 

 mmds of some would-be mug winners. 



The annual business meeting was held on Tuesday afternoon 

 and the following officers for the ensuing year elected: Commo- 

 dore, Chas. J, S ted man, Cincinnati C. O.; Vice-Commodore, T. J. 



As there were but n:i,e Glass B canoes to contest for the W.C.A. 

 trophy the entries necessary to start were reduced from ten to 

 five. 



The commodore was instructed to appoint a flag committee to 

 present designs for officers' flags. 



A committee of three, Skipper Longworth, D. H. Crane and T. 

 P. Gaddis were appointed to arrange for a mess lent and camp 

 for '90. 1 



The conditions for the Longworth cup werejpresented as follows- 



First— The cup shall be known as the Longworth Challenge* 

 Cup, to be competed for by Class C canoes only. 



Second— It shall be sailed for at each annual meet. 



Third— Only active members of the W.C.A. in good standing 

 can enter 



Fourth— At least five canoes must start to make a race. 

 Fifth— The course to be triangular, distance not less than six 



miles, and the course must be completed in less than three hours 

 or no race. 



Sixth— The cup can be held by the winner, who must give bonds 

 tor its safe return, for one year, when it is to be returned to the 

 regal ia committee in good order to be raced for again. At the 

 end ot ten years the person winning it the greatest number of 

 times shall becomp its owner, in case of a tie the ownership 

 shall be decided by another race at the same meet. 



These rules can be changed or amended if it is thought advis- 

 able by the executive committee at any annual meeting by a vote 

 of two-thirds of the memoers present.

AN UNKNOWN QUANTITY.— The canoe Alle, built bv the St. 

 Lawrence Skiff Co. for Mr. J. Graham Eraser, and til ted with the 

 Martin centerboard steering gear, will be entered for the races at 

 Stave Island. There is no question of her abidty to outmaneuver 

 anytning afloat, the movement of the helm and canoe being 

 simultaneous. As to speed her tine lines and extiaordinary 

 stability are marks of promise. She has been sailed alongside of 

 the aldeck, sister of W. S. Grant's Pappoose, and out w cathered 

 and outfooted the plateooard boat handdv. . Her 5ft. of unob- 

 structed cockpit allows her a place in the cruiser class. Mr. W 

 S. Grant will sail her.
