THE NORTHERN DIVISION MEET. 



THE camp site committee has prepared the following circular- 

 There are so many attractive points on the Lake of the Two 

 Mountains that the committee hart some difficulty in fixing upon 

 the one best suited to the A. C. A. camp, and after a careful px- 

 arnmation of the available places, has chosen He Cadieux, which 

 is by all means the best The camp will be about i miles from 

 bte. Anne de Bellevue, about the same distance from Vaudreuil 

 and o i miles from Opmo. It is the last of the series of islands 



l k "i f - J he / ho t e i rom Ile Peroe U P' an<1 thus offers excep- 

 tional facilities for both paddling and sailing water. On the 

 upper side there is a broad open stretch of water which narrows 

 somewhat at Como. and then broadens to the end of the lake and 

 extenus m the other direction 1 or 8 miles to the Back River. 

 On the lower side of Ile Cadieux is a fine sheltered bay, from 

 Which narrow channels lead among the islands, which are thicklv 

 wooded and very pretty. The camp landing will be in the nar- 

 rows between lie Cadieux and the mainland, and well protected 

 on all sides. The main camp will be on rising ground, well 

 drained and with a fine outlook over the lake, so that the races 

 can be seen from the tents. The ladies' camp will be sheltered by 

 trees and is a short distance from the main camp. The island is 

 about a mile long, and the lighthouse at the opposite end from 

 the camp is the only dwelling upon it. 



The objective point will be Ste. Anne de Bellevue, which is on 

 the mam line of both Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific rail- 

 ways, about twenty miles west of Montreal, and a point of call 

 tor all steamers on the Ottawa River, which have to lock through 

 at this place. From St. Anne's a special steamboat will be run to 

 the camp, managed by this Association, and connecting with the 

 trains, morning and evening. Campers are recommended to take 

 trains arriving at St. Anne's in the morning. Arrangements have 

 been made with an experienced caterer in Montreal for a camp 

 restaurant at a cost of $1 per day and single meals 50 cents. 

 There will be a barber constantly in the camp. Tlmre is good fish- 

 ing m the immediate vicinity of the camp. Excursions mav 



easily be made to Oka, Carillon and other points on the lake and 

 Ottawa Kiver, and to the numerous summer resorts along Lake 

 St. Louis, to Lachine and Montreal. The St. Lawrence Y. C. has 

 accepted an invitation to visit the camp, and will probably ar- 

 range a cruise in the Lake of Two Mountains during the meet, 

 the Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk railways have agreed to 

 issue round trip tickets from July 23 to Aug. 7, good to return up 

 to Aug. 21, at single fare; and will also allow each passenger 

 canoes and camp kit to the extent of 2001bs., free in baggage car 

 The special certificate required to obtain these tiekets may be had 

 on application to the purser.— A. W. Morris, Hugh McLean, R 

 Tyson, Committee;

T. Benedict.— You will find several rigs for canoe yawls in 

 Canoe and Boat Building for Amateurs." The cat yawl or canoe 

 rig, mainsail and mizen, is one of the best. 



.A T / 1 L '\ ISIonroe ' N - G-If "it was decided by the management 

 that the highest scores should take the prize" then the prizes 

 should be distributed after order was fixed by shooting off ties. 



The usual plan is to have class shooting and then the tie is sho 1 

 merely to decide who shall take the prize in his class. 



W. R., Slater. Mo.— A shooter goes to the score, loads his gun (a 

 hammerless), throws up to shoot but it don't fire; he takes his gun 

 down and finds only one barrel cocked, the one not loaded. Does 

 he get another bird under American Association rules? Ans. The 

 general rule is to penalize the shooter for his own faults, and Rule 

 18 under live : bird shooting of the American Shooting Association 

 code says: If the gun is not cocked or the safety not properly 

 adjusted and the bird escapes, it shall be scored a 'lost bird.' " 



Fisherman, Mass.— Can you or any of your readers inform me 

 as to the cause or prevention of worms in the air bladders of 

 trout? I have a pond of some three acres on a spring brook and 

 both are well stocked by nature with trout. The fish in the pond 

 will run from 3 to 8oz. in weight. For the last year or more their 

 air bladders have been more or less filled with a small white 

 worm about as large as a very fine needle and some quarter to 

 half inch in length. The fish seem in good condition and are 

 nice flavored, and show no signs of parasites in any other way. 

 Some of the bladders seem nearly or quite half full of worms, 

 while others contain only a few. Ans. No way is known of pre- 

 venting the occurrence of parasitic worms in trout. They are 

 derived from the food and the source is often obscure. There is 

 an eminent authority on fish parasites in the Washington and 

 Jefferson College, Washington, Pa., who will doubtless identify 

 the worm tor you, and tell you its habits and development. He is 

 ■I? ^4 win Linton, and we advise you to communicate with him 

 either directly or through this office. We shall be interested to 

 know more about this subject. Perhaps some of the small fish 

 on which your trout feed are the first hosts of the parasites.
