PURITAN C. C. 



INCE last we met many things have bapnened. The months 

 of May and June were pleasant except when we desired good 



s 



So far this season there have been three mainmasts gone by 

 the board and seven men have taken involuntary baths. , 

 The club has recently been presented with two cups to be 

 raced for; one a silver cup and one a pewter mug for the second 

 best man. | 

 The silver cup presented by Capt. and Mrs. James W. Cart- 

 wright is to be held three years in succession before the winner 

 owns it. The races are open to members of the club, each boat 

 to be sailed by her owner, thus stimulating the activity of the 

 members. 

 The rules governing it are as follows; 



I. This cup is to be raced for at least three times each season 

 by members of the Puritan C. C, the canoe winning the most 

 races to hold the cup for one year, and to have its name and the 

 owner's inscribed upon the cup. 



II. The races are open to any canoe of the A and B classes, 

 A. C. A. classification. 



III. Each canoe must be sailed by her owner, and one man 

 shall form the crew of each canoe. 



IV. Mainsails, except in the case of "pin and ring" rigs, must 

 hoist by means of a halliard. 



V. No ballast may be shifted above the gunwale. 



VI. No deck seat which projects beyond the beading of the 

 gunwale, or any other appliance which illegitimately increases 

 the beam and not the body of the canoe may be used. 



VII. With the above exceptions, the racing rules of the A.C.A. 

 will be followed in the races for this cup. 



VIII. Any man holding the cup for three years in succession 

 may keep the same as his own property. 



The cup has three handles, is 8in. in height and 5in. in diameter. 

 Mr. Jos. S. Dean, a member of the club, gives the pewter cup for 

 a second prize, to be kept by the winner. It is hoped that these, 

 cups will have the desired effect. 



Our race days have all been bad so far, and as many of the 

 members are away for the summer the races will be sailed in the 

 later summer. 



The record races for June 16 and 17 were given up, the club at- 

 tending the local meet on Peddock's Island, both of the paddling 

 events coming to our club.

THE CANOE CLUB LIST AND A. C. A. YEAR BOOK— We 

 have received from the Nautical Publishing Co. a neatly printed 

 volume bound in canvas containing a complete list of all Ameri- 

 can canoe clubs, as well as foreign clubs, the total number of the 

 former being 85. The reports as to membership are not complete, 

 but a total of 2250 active members is given, to which must be 

 added the associate members. A very attractive and useful fea- 

 ture of the book is the large collection of club flags and totems in 

 colors, the first attempt of the kind. The editorial work was 

 done by Mr. C. B. Vaux, editor of Sail and Paddle, and he has 

 turned out a very complete and useful volume. It is proposed to 

 make the List an annual if the support which it receives from 

 canoeists shall prove sufficient to justity it. The price is $100 per 

 copy.
