THE A. C. A. MEET. 



THE accompanying chart shows the location of the A. O. A' 

 camp at Jessup's Neck, The following notice is issued by 

 the transportation committee: 



The transportation committee did not receive in answer to their 

 circular a sufficient number of responses 1o warrant them in 

 0har.ter.in6f the steamboat which they originally contemplated 

 chartering, but the committee have to-day made arrangements 

 by which they have chartered a freight steamboat that will take 

 up the canoes at all the places stated in the transportation com- 

 mittee's circular, including Yonkers, and will deliver them at the 

 A. C. A. clock at the camp, and at the end of the meet will return 

 them to the places where they were picked up at a charge of |5 

 for each canoe, duffle to go free. The committee have no doubt 

 they can make arrangements by which shippers can themselves 

 make the trip on this boat without any extra charge. It is not a 

 passenger steamboat, however, and those who take passage on 

 this boat will be obliged to camp out on the boat. The committee 

 have so arranged matters that any members of the Association 

 who did not respond to the circular, may now do so up to the first 

 day of August upon the same terms. 



If you Is now of any of your friends who are likely to come to the 

 meet, will you kindly call their attention to this matter, and 

 notify them so that they may send me a response with the en- 

 closure of $5. 



The regular passenger steamer from New York city, stopping at 

 our camp, leaves foot of Beekman street, East River, New York, 

 on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5 P. M., and on Saturdays at 2 

 P. M., making the trip in twelve hours. 



Yours very truly, M. T. Bennett, Jr., 



For the Transportation Committee. 



NEW YORK C, C. INTERNATIONAL CUP, 



npHE following challenge has been received by the New York C. 

 JL C, the representatives of the challenging club being Mr. 

 Ford Jones, with the canoe Cannuck, winner of ihe A.C.A. trophy

Brockville, Ont., July 16.— Chas. J. Stevens, Esq., See'y-Treas, 

 N. T. O. 0,1 Dear Sir- The Brock ville C. C. hereby challenge to a 

 contest for the N. Y. C. C. international challenge cup. Our club 

 will be represented by Mr. Ford Jones, who will be in New York 

 shortly, and can arrange all details with your regatta committee. 

 We hope the New York C. C. will be able to accept this challenge 

 and that everything will be arranged to oxu - mutual satisfaction. 

 Yours truly, Brockville C. C, by J. J. Bell, Com. 



The New York O. C. will hold trial races, open to members of 

 any canoe club, on Aug. 1 and 2, in the afternoon. The cup races 

 will be sailed on New York Bay after the meet. 



MOHICAN C. C. 



THE famous Mohican C. O. of Albany, but a few years since 

 one of the leading clubs of the country, with such members 

 as Gibson, Oliver, Mix, Thomas, Phil and Will Wackerhagen, 

 Fernow and a host more, has of late suffered from the reaction 

 that seems to fall to the fate of all clubs at times; the men who 

 made the club famous from 1882 to '87 have been drawn away 

 from canoeing to a certain extent by business changes, some have 

 left Albany, and of late the old turtle has not been seen in its ac- 

 customed place at the A. C. A. camps and on <"he sailing courses. 

 Under the captaincy of Mr. C. V. Winne, however, the club has 

 taken a sudden spurt that promises to place it once more in the 

 front, many new members Have come in to take the place of those 

 who have retired from active canoeing, and they are now hard at 

 work to live up to the traditions of the club. A very successful 

 regatta was held on July 4 at the handsome down-river club 

 house, the members going down in their canoes or by steam 

 launch on the previous evening. The races included a paddling 

 race in which Messrs. Titus, Wheeler, Smith, Winne, Sipple, 

 Shaw and Anahle started, the 'winner being Mr. Titus. 



The race for the Oliver cup for novices was postponed from the 

 morning for the lack of wind, but was sailed in the afternoon, the 

 winner being Mr. Sipple in the Nancy Bell. The single-blade 

 paddling was won by Mr. Wheeler, with Will Wackerhagen see 



ond. and llacket third. The main sailing race for the Gibson cup 

 was sailed in a very light wind, Mr. Wheeler winning in Thetis, 

 Mr. Sipple being second in Nancy Bell. The tandem paddling 

 was won by Wheeler and Wackerhagen. The hurry-scurry race 

 was won by Wheeler also. The tournament was most amusing, 

 there being four crews entered. The victors were Messrs. Winne, 

 paddler, and Wheeler, lanceman. In the evening the banjos and 

 mauclolins were brought out, the whole party returning to Albany 

 late at night. The regatta was the most successful held in a long 

 time, and is especially encouraging as the contestants were nearly 

 all new men, who are evidently ready to take the places of the 

 old racers of the club. The club is now- off on a cruise on the 

 upper Hudson, from Mechanicsville to Albany, under the ener- 

 getic leadership of Capt. Winne. A meeting was held last week 

 to consider the question of a war canoe, and the club is making 

 arrangements to attpnd the A.. C. A. meet in force. A fall re- 

 gatta w r ill be held on Labor Day. 



POINTB CLAIRE CANOE CREW. — The fourth of the series 

 of races for the Pointe Claire trophy was sailed on July 5 in a 

 strong breeze from north-east, all the boats starting under close 

 reefs. The starting gun was fired at 4:25:55, and Mab, O. Arch- 

 ibald, Aloha, H. McLean, and Lis, D. A. Poe, started in the order 

 named. Isis went around the first buoy with a slight lead on Mab, 

 Aloha, being third, but on the reach of the second buoy Mab re- 

 covered her lead. When the close work began Mab simply walked 

 away from the other two. Isis went all to pieces, and was hove 

 to for some time, and when she did get going went very slowly, 

 and Aloha was under too short canvas to hold the leader. On the 

 second round Isis passed Aloha and took second place. The time 

 of the race was as follows: 



Start. 1st round. 2d round. 



Isis, D. A. Poe 4 26 00 5 05 00 5 37 00® 



Mab. C. Archibald 4 25 55 4 44 00 5 07 45 1 1 



Aloha, H. McLean 4 25 57 5 01 30 6 42 20* 



The tie for the skiff trophy, presented by the crew, between 

 Gallagher, C. Saunderson, Vagabond, A. Reford, and Jean A, C. 

 Montserrat, was also sailed off, and made a fine race. Vagabond 

 got a lead at the start, GaUager ero=sing second, and Jean A, 

 thh-d, but Jean A passed the others on the windward work, and 

 won, with Vagabond second. The time was as follows: 



Start. Finish. 



Jean A, C. Montserrat 4 19 45 5 36 30 



Vagabond, A. Reford 4 19 45 5 37 50 



Gallagher, C. Saunderson withdrew. 



Jean A., therefore, wins i he trophy. 



PEQUOT Y. AND C. ASSOCIATION.— The following orders for 

 the fifth annual cruise have he en sent out: "In view of the fact 

 that the A. C. A. holds its first salt water meet at Jesssup'sNeck, 

 Peconic Bay, Long Island Sound, it has been decided by the com- 

 modore that the regular camp of the association will be replaced 

 for this year by a club cruise, the destination being the A. C. A. 

 meet. The fleet will rendezvous at Thimble Islands, on Saturday, 

 Aug. 16, and lay over Sunday. On Monday an early start will be 

 made for Plum Gut, with favorable conditions, arriving before 

 noon of that day. If possible, it is the object to arrive at the 

 A. O. A. camp at nightfall, or even earlier. It is hoped that as 

 many club members as can will join in this cruise and thus 

 enable the association to go into camp with a good representation. 

 The Sunday spent at Thimble Islands will be very pleasant to 

 those who have never been at that resort, and the run from 

 thence to Peconic Bay is a very pleasant one. To those who have 

 never attended an A.C.A. meet the cruise will be a delightful 

 experience and well worth taking. It is important that you 

 should notify the fleet captain if you will participate in this 

 cruise. The fleet will break up at Peconic Bay, Aug. 22. Per 

 order of Com. Borden, Edward H. Everett, Fleet Captain."
