Time of winner over the course, lh. 40m. 40s. 



Cannuck. the winning boat, was the only one in the race carry- 

 ing standing sails. Nearly all used deck seats. 



No. 13. Upset sailing race was called directly after the trophy. 

 Six starters. Andrews righted his canoe first but had too much 

 water in to compete with Goddard's canoe Blanche, which has 

 the cockpit all fenced in. Blanche won by half a leugth, An- 

 drews second. Forrest, could not right Dimple after the upset 

 owing to the very large sails he carried holding so much water 

 that they outweighed him. Douglas, too, had to be towed ashore. 



The Central Division held their business meeting right after 

 supper, Yice-Com. Huntington in the chair. Geo. A. Warder, 

 Springfield, O., (the original Jabber) was elected Vice-Commo- 

 dore, aud James Shiras, Cincinnati, O., Purser. Both these gen- 

 tlemen are also members of the Western Canoe Association. Mr. 

 Warder suggested that the Central Division hold their meet next 

 July on Ballast Island, with the W.C.A. This idea met with 

 great favor, nothing was passed formally however till time is 

 given for a conference. The other officers elected were: Rear- 

 Corn. Mr. E. L. French of Buffalo, and Ex.-Com., Member, J, S. 

 Wardwell, Rome, N. Y. The proposed amendment to allow 50 

 members to form a Division (instead of 100, as now written), was 

 sat down on pretty hard, and the members of the executive com- 

 mittee A.C.A. present were instructed to vote against it if it 

 was proposed at the annual A.C.A. meeting Wednesday evening. 



The Northern Division also held a business meeting and elected 

 the following ticket: W. J. White, Vice-Corn., Montreal; W. J. 

 Read, Reur-Com., Bobcaygeon; Chas. M. Whitlaw, Purser, Mon- 

 treal; D. B. Jaques, Ex. Com. Mem., Toronto. After several bal- 

 lots had been cast for the different places suggested for holding 

 the meet— and a hot discussion indulged in— Lake of the Two 

 Mountains, near Montreal, St. Lawrence River, was chosen. 



W ednesday, Aug. 20.— The cruising race, No. 14, was set for this 

 morning, but a gale of wind prevented it being called. The 

 special Barney cup race, and the special Northern Division cup 

 race were also postponed. No. 8, championship (trophy) paddling 

 race was called. Torrance, Smillie, Johnson, Putnam, Wright 

 and MacKendrick were eligible for it, from the results of the 

 record races. MacKendrick did not enter. Johnson won, Put- 

 nam second, Torrance third. 



A protest was made by Mr. Torrance, of Brockvilie, against 

 Messrs. Johnson and Putnam, on the ground that the canoes 

 used by them in the championship paddling were not in accord- 

 ance with the rule. The two canoes were mere shells, built of 

 }^in. planking and weighing but 351bs. each. They were decked 

 with stuff little thicker than veneering and equipped with ridicu- 

 lous substitutes for centerboards and rudders, with mast holes 

 too small to carry a reasonably strong spar. The decision of the 

 regatta committe was as follows: 



The regatta committee unanimously declare Messrs. Johnson 

 andPutuam ruled outof Race No. 8, as theircanoes do not comply 

 with the conditions regulating such race, their boats not being 

 properly equipped sailing canoes. This ruling also applies to all 

 other races in which these gentlemen took part. D. B. Jaqttes. 



(Signed) R. W. Bailey. 



E. L. French. 



Thus the honor flag was awarded to Torrance. 



A subscription has been started to provide a cup for a paddling 

 trophy, to be a perpetual challenge trophy to be raced for under 

 aucn conditions as the committee my impose. Messrs. Gibson and 

 Wbitlock will receive subscriptions. 



ToiTance won the hurry-scurry (No. 12), with Douglas secoud. 

 Toronto and Brockvilie had a tug-of-war. Brockvilie won first 

 heat; Toronto won second and third. 



At the meeting of the Executive Committee in the evening 

 Mr. Henry Stanton, of New- York, was elected Commodore 

 for 1890, and Mr. F. L. Dunnell, of Brooklyn, was elected Secre- 

 tary-Treasurer. The quest iou of a meeting place for next year, 

 within the Atlantic division, was informally discussed, and a 

 site on the north shore of Long Island, probably Oyster Bay, was 

 recommended as the most desirable. The idea of a salt-water 

 meet near New Y'orkciiy was received with enthusiasm by the 

 Canadian members, and a large attendance is promised. Dr. 

 Gage calhd attention to the need of a change in the record sys- 

 tem, recommending that canoes must start in all three of the 

 record races in order to win a prize. This suggestion was very 

 favorably received, and will probably be acted upon. 



After the meeting a large camp-fire was lighted and kept up 

 until a late hour, the banjoes, guitars and a mandolin furnishing 

 good music. 



For the first time the record was made up as early as Wednes- 

 day night, thanks to the untiring industrv of the "clerk of the 

 course, Mr. David A. Poe, of Montreal. The full list is as fol-

 at Grindstone, but the meet was a success in spite of such a seri- 

 ous drawback.

THE PLAINT OF THE SINGLEH ANDER. 



AH, woe is me, and, ah. woe is me, 

 And sad is my dreadful lot; 

 For, like the tar of tbe Nancy brig, 

 I'm crew of a young man's yacht. 



At daylight's dawn I the whole crew am, 



And i holystone the deck; 

 I scrub, and scrub, and rub, and rub. 



Till of dirt there's ne'er a speck. 



Then I put on an apron and cap, 



And, lo and behold, I'm a cook; 

 Though what. 1 don't know about such things 



Would fill an enormous book. 



And after that tbe first mate I am, 



And report to my cap'n bold. 

 Arrayed in my togs of navy olue, 



With buttons of shining gold. 



I've got "Defiance" writ on my cap, 



For that's the name of the yacht; 

 But I nurse defianc e in my soul, 



For such is my dreadful lot. 



The jolly crew of the eap'ain's gig 



Is uext in my line of parts. 

 And I rows the captain safe ashore. 



Then back to the ship I darts. 



And so it goes from morn till night, 



Till my brain is all at sea; 

 And I sometimes has to stop and think 



To find out just who I be. 



—George D. Sutton, in Puck- 



THE CORINTHIAN RACES. 



MARBLEHEAD, Aug. 24.— The first races of the midsummer 

 series o the Corinthian Y. C. were sailed in light and flukv 

 wmds and calms. Raiu fell all the morning. The start, was Post 

 poned until noon, when it cleared up a trifle, and a light wind 

 came in from the northeast. When the yachts were half way 

 over the course tbe wind died away entirely and for a time the 

 yachts floated about in a dead calm. Only the 40 and 27ft classes 

 finished, and Minerva had only twenty-three seconds to spare be- 

 fore the time limit was up. w™* ul - 

 The races included those for the Weld cup for 40-footers. best 

 three to five, Chiquita having already won a leg. A race for 30 

 footers for a cup valued at 8125. given by a club member,' and in 

 addition a cup of the value of §100, offered by Saracen's crew for 

 the ,»0tt. yacht making the best average in the three races for it 

 Saracen barred was also sailed The Corinthian Y. C. also 

 offered a cup of the value of f 100 for the yachts =loons and 

 cxH-tersof the Corinthian club of 21 and not over 27ft." The course 

 for the 30 and 40-footers was from a line between the judges' boat 

 and Marblehead Rock; thence to a mark boat, eight mills south- 

 east, ihrec { quarters south leaving. it on the starboard; thence to 

 Graves Whistl ng Buoy, leaving it on the starboard: thence to 

 the starting point; distance 24 nautical miles. The smaller ' class 

 rounded the first mark and return, distance 18 miles d 

 The yachts were timed around tne mark as follows: 



Minerva. 2 01 00 Chiquita.. ■> 04 CO 



Tomahawk 2 01 30 Alice ........ 2 13 oo 



After turning the mark light sails were set and a long drifting 

 match took place to the Graves On rounding the second mark 

 the wind increased to a good sailing breeze and the yachts made 

 fair time home.. They were led by the Minerva. The little .cutter 

 increased the distance between herself and the rest of the fleet 

 and finished some seven minutes in advance of her nearest riv-i I 

 Just after the slur, of the forties, the 30ft. class was sent away' 

 Saracen obtained the advantage and was followed by Shark 

 Kathleen, Harbinger, Union and Crystal in the order named 

 boon after the start Kathleen pushed to the front and obtained a 

 good leading position Had the wind held she would have finished 

 first without doubt. Shark was second at the time, with Saracen 

 just behind As they could not finish before the time«m1t;le 

 race in that class was declared off. lJJO 

 The whistle for the start of the. 27ft. class was blown it 19-ir-w 

 The yachts crossed the line as follows: 12.40:30.

Swordfish 12 41 45 U 42 30 



In this class Swordfish was the first yacht to turn tbe outer 

 mark and she was followed by lone 6m. later. Moosa was ins 

 behind, and the others were well to the rear. The yachts held 

 a good wind home, and Swordfish on the run increased her lead 

 and crossed tne line many minutes ahead of the class. Followl™

Aug- ^.-The wind was blowing fully twenty miles an hour a c 

 th.e time of the.srart, and the judges decided to S the boats to 

 windward, making the course ten miles to windward and E 

 The Xara, under the management of Capt. Tom Sloan ^ late of the 

 Gorilla and Liris, was first to cross the line, followed by the 

 Tomahawk, Minerva, Pappoose, Chiquita, Gorilla, and Alice The 

 Minerva had only just got under way when she lost her bowsprit 

 and a few minutes later the Tomahawk lost her throat hTMVxl 

 ami tore away her main sheet block, withdrawing from fee race 

 The Xara, which carried a 1 her lower sails and worW oosaiV
