TORONTO C. C. ANNUAL DINNER. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



I've just come in from an annual dinner with such an air of 

 comfort and fullness pervading that portion of mv anatomy cov- 

 ered by waistcoat that I feel as if I would be guilty did I not send 

 you a short description of the event. 



The menu card, gotten up by our club artist, Mr. John D. Kellv, 

 is so artistic and thoroughly emblematic of the sport that 1 send 

 it along. 



The cruising canoeist on the first page, as he sits in his comfort • 

 able craft with a geuerous portion of bread and jam, which deftly 

 balanced on his right, hand, he is just, about to discuss, has his 

 mmd withdrawn from it for a moment as he views with pleasure 

 and contentment the beauties of the rising sun, partly hidden bv 



the sails of the schoouers in the distance. Methinks I hear him 

 remark as he turns front this scene of beauty, "Who wouldn't he 

 a canoeist! to rise wi'b the lark in the morning and drink in the 

 fresh morning breezes ere our brothers in town are out of their 

 comfortable bunks." Spread out before him is his "box of tricks," 

 around the plate of which there is just a faint odor of bacon, 

 while on the saucer is seen a couple of numbers of "hen fruit," 

 which, we trust, for his sake, are of a recent issue. The spirit 

 lamp, with an eye to business, burns merrily along, sending its 

 bluish-tinted flames dancing around the tin kettle, which, also, 

 taking in the beauties of the scene, has commenced singing to 

 itself in its own peculiar way. 



On page 3 Commodore Powell, with tooting born and clanging 

 bell, has just announced "Dinner!" Last year the start was with 

 "single blades," but finding that, for soin* of the boys, the pace 

 was so hot they could not keep stroke, the artist very thought- 

 fully gave the lean chap the double blade. A close examination

of his personal appearance at the "finish" will give the reader an 

 idea of the use he made of that double ended article. 



The turkey was discussed with all the solemnity due to the occa- 

 sion, and we found " Old Dan MeCan, the foreman," not such a 

 bad old cuss after all, provided be got a place among the five and 

 sixty tarriers that drilled the old gobbler. 



After passing Partridge Point the fleet bore down on Duck 

 Ibland with all sail set, but the first half dozen to get under the 

 " lee " of the island made such a demand for clothes pegs that, 

 barring a few gamie-e chaps who like their fruit a trifle (s)hy, the 

 fleet passed to windward of the island. W T ith eased sheets, and in 

 some cases waistcoats and backstraps, they headed for Puddin 

 Marsh, in the neighborhood of which some of them got so mixed 

 up that it's "drop rudders agin screw-nails" they don't just 

 know what wharf they tied up at, or who did the tying. 



In the upper portion of page 3 can be be seen the veteran form 

 of Major Leigh with his single blade as he gently paddles along, 

 keeping his weather eye on the novice who is out for a spin with 

 brand newest of canvas, which he is afraid will drown him ere he 

 gets ashore. 



From the peculiar shape of his hat with the grommet ventilators 

 in it and from the general rig of his craft I should judge the other 

 chap was he who wears shoes so large that he can't conveniently 

 stow them in a 30in. canoe, and so had to take to the hiking seat, 

 where he can be seen taking his doiee far niente. As he sits com. 



placently smoking an Havana he is troubled with a little twang 

 of conscience when he thinks of the time, not long ago, when he 

 wanted to see all such bits of machinery kicked into the back 

 yard where the small boy might make kindling wood of them. 



After the toast the Queen, Mr. Jacques proposed "the Craft," 

 which was duly replied to by Henry Wright— "Jock McCraw"—

for the paddlers, H. Tilly for the novices and Mr. Colin Fraser for 

 the racers. Mr. R, Baker proposed "the A. C. A." and dwelt at 

 some length on the fun we had at the last meet, and the gentle- 

 manly, good-natured amateur sportsmen we met there. Ex- Vice- 

 Corn. Tyson respmded and finished up by singing "Drill ye tar- 

 riers, drill." In responding to the British Canoe Association, Mr. 

 VV. G. MacKendrick remarked the great difference in the propor- 

 tions of the three American honorary B. C. A. members from 

 those usually attributed to Johnnie Bull, as a longer, leaner or 

 hungrier trio than Messrs. E. B. Edwards, Peterboro; W. P. 

 Stephens, New York, and the. speaker could scarcely be gathered 

 together under one roof, but it would be a sorry day for the 

 owner of the aforesaid roof should he have the misfortune to have 

 them foregather there about meal time. 



Dr. E. E. King responded to the W. C. A. in a very happy man- 

 ner, considering that five minutes previous to his rising he was 

 not aware that there was such an association. He said he was 

 much pleased at being present as the representative of the W. C. 



A. , seeing that it included the invitation and also a free pass to 

 and from his home in the West. Com. Powell had claimed for 

 the T. C. C. a very old record, but he wished to state that long, 

 long ages ago the VV. O. A. had been enjoying canoeing in the 

 West, that many of their Past Worthy Grand Chief Commodores 

 were in the realms beyond, but he had no hesitation in stating 

 that, provided the canoes would not warp where thev had gone 

 to, these old chaps were still hitting it up with the single blade. 

 The W. C. A. he stated were going ahead very rapidly, and as the 

 representative of that body he wished to extend 'to all those 

 present a very hearty invitation to call at the W, C. A. club 

 house headquarters at— at [sotto Uofeej to his neighhor on the right, 

 "Where the d— 1 are our headquarters, anyway'?"). The laugh 

 was general when several of the boys who did not know that the 

 speaker belonged to the club, thougnt he had actually come over 

 from Cincinnati or some of the cities out West to tuck a few pre- 

 visions under his waistcoat. 



"Our Sister Clubs," proposed by Mr. W. H. P, Weston, was re- 

 sponded to by Mr. Fraser, of the Argonaut Rowing Club: Mr, 

 Gomlock, of the Toronto R. C; Mr. Schofield, of the Lacrosse 

 Club, and Mr. Sherrard, of the Tammany Club. 



During the evening Mr. A. Mason sang' that rollicking song— 

 "We don't look gay in our camp array, 

 But we're dudes when we're in town." 

 Mr. Klesier gave a couple of recitations which were encored. 



"Quiet, but not secluded." was one of the hits on the programme 

 thai caused much conjecture, and each of the ladies' men were iu 

 turn heard to declare that they were never in such a position. 

 The identity of the sinner was placed beyond a doubt when the 

 carelessly thrown down hat was examined. 



At an early hour in the morning the "Unc" ambulance was at 

 the door, so that those (if any.) who found a 12-foot sidewalk just 

 a trifle too narrow for them might be accommodated with a good , 

 firm seat, warranted not to wobble. Mac. 



NEW YORK C. C— The annual meeting of the New York C. Oi 

 was held on Dec. 6, the following officers being elected: Com.- 



B. H. Nadal; Vice-Corn., Dr. B. F. Curtis; See'y-Treas., C J 

 Sterens; Executive Committee, Poultnev Bierelow and Schuyler 

 Schieffelin. The club has decided to build during the winter a 

 large floating house to replace its present one, which will be 

 sold. The date for the annual regatta is set for June 21, 1890.

"BIRDS THROUGH AN OPERA GLASS." 



Birds Through an Opera Glass. By Florence A. Merriam. 

 Boston: Houghton, Mifflin & Co. 



IN this little volume we have another and very welcome addi- 

 tion to the list of popularly written natural history works 

 based on original observation, aud its author will at ence take 

 her place among the older writers in this field, who, headed by 

 Burroughs, appeal to that large class of readers who love nature 

 in her woods and fields and care not to follow the specialist to his 

 study. Miss Merriam seeks to implant ornithological love in the 

 mind of the most unlearned in birds and bird-ways, she takes her 

 student into the fields and in the clearest manner points out to 

 him the feathered kinds they meet, and further instructs him 

 how alone he may discover and recognize birds which to him were 

 before unknown. Our author has in this no easy task; a first day 

 afield with glass and notebook is very apt to result in a confusion 

 of sights and sounds— hieroglyphics on a previously blank page of 

 our experience; but her methods are clear and cumulative. We 

 must go easily and content ourselves with a gradual acquisition 

 of knowledge, which she shows how to label and pigeon hole, and 

 not imagine we shall learn it all in our first outing. 



These are, it is true, but first lessons, and herein lies the chief 

 value and importance of the work, How many of us, without 

 desiring to acquire a complete or scientific knowledge of orni- 

 thology, would gladly call by name the songsters of our lawn and 

 orchard; we "hate botany but love flowers," and in our search 

 for some simple, pleasantly written volume devoid of technicali- 

 ties, find only advanced text books which appall us by the weight 

 of knowledge they display, and render it an apparently hopeless 

 task to trace therein the name of some especial bird friend whose 

 acquaintance we would gladly cultivate. Fortunately for us, we 

 have this growing class of writers whose, works address a p.pular 

 audience, nor can the importance of their writings be easily over- 

 rated, for in the popular audience of to-day shall we find the 

 sen mist of the future. 



The leaders of American ornithology should remember this aud 

 also their own early strivings after knowledge; their experience 

 should more than teach them that naturalists are born, not made 

 and it is, therefore, as much their duty and as worthy their rank' 

 to guide the first steps of their possible successors, as to address 

 the most abstruse paper to their equally scientific co-laborers.
