Neither the Atlantic nor the Eastern Division of the A. C. A. will 

 hold a division meet this year, so that but one division meet, that 

 of the Northern, will take place. Lake Champlain is so accessible 

 from New York, Lowell, Springfield and Boston, the points that 

 would be mainly benefitted by division meets, that the general A. C. 

 A. meet in August will take the place of them, to the advantage of 

 all concerned, with very few exceptions, the division meets thus far 

 have not been successful, and a concentration of the attendance on 

 the general meet, at least for a year or two, seems to be the best 

 course. 



The year book of the A. C. A. for 1892 has just been issued, uni- 

 form in size and style with that of last year. The entire work of ob- 

 taining advertisements and preparing the book has been done by 

 Com. Winne and Secty Treas. Wackerbagen, and with the result that 

 the Association will be under no expense, on the contrary a profit of 

 $50 to $60 seems probable. 



The necessity for an additional starting signal both in canoe and 

 yacht races is demonstrated afresh in every race in which for any 

 reason a stare is not made punctually on the time announced. We 

 have alluded to the subject in the yachting columns. 



Marine and Field Club Canoe Regatta, June 18. 



BATH BEACH, GRAVESEND BAT. 



Those guests of the Marine and Field Club who stayed away from 

 Bath Beach on Saturday on account of the bad weather missed some 

 of the finest canoe racing that has been seen about New York in 

 some time; and those canoeists who were absent missed one of the 

 pleasantest reunions of A. C. A. men which has ever taken place 

 here; a reunion that in one day combined many of the pleasantest 

 features of the annual meeting in November and of the race week of 

 the August camp. The assemblage of canoeists, about a hundred in 

 all. was a representative one; among them being Com. Winne. Vice 

 Pom Seavey. Messrs. Lawson. Butler, Goddard, Walsh, Ford Jones, 

 Quick. Oxholm, Whitlock, Ward. Yaux, Stephens, Burchard, Doug- 

 las, Cape Buggies and other old A. C. A. men, with many local club 

 men from the Hudson and Passaic. The character of the assemblage 

 was the more remarkable from the fact that the Marine and Field 

 Club is in no sense a canoeing organization, and merely stood in the 

 position of host for the day, a role in which it has acquitted itself 

 most admirably for four successive years. 



The special events on this occasion were the senior sailing race, 

 the tandem paddling, a club " representative " race, the race for the 

 Marine and Field Club cup, held by Mr. David S. Goddard from last 

 year; and a paddling race in war canoes; the latter a complete 

 novelty . The entry list included many of the leading racing men of 

 the A. C. A., as follows: 



Canuck Ford Jones Brock ville, Ont. 



Tornado... F. C. Moore Knickerbocker. 



Alpha D. Goodsell Yonkers. 



*Felicity Everett Masten Yonkers. 



Hudson H. Lansing Quick Yonkers. 



Glen wood T. S. Oxholm Yonkers.

Bee P. S. Goddard Vesper, Lowell. 



*Scout "W. H. Smiley Orange. 



Jonah JohnL. Collins Bayonne. 



» Wraith Fred B. Collins Bayonne. 



*Didnot start. 



While the fleet included the leading racing canoes, there were but 

 few new boats. Mr. Jones, who is in New York for the purpose of 

 racing for the third time tor the International challenge cup of the 

 New York C. O, has not built again, as he intended last year, but had 

 with him Canuck, older, but different in no other respect from what 

 she was in her first season, 18S9, the hull and rig being unaltered, 

 Mr. Quick was present as captain of the Yonkers war canoe, and had 

 no canoe with him; but as his old racer, Uno, was at the club house, 

 he sailed her in two races. Glenwood, the new Ruggles racer that 

 has replaced Beta for Mr. Oxholm, is a very handsome canoe, much 

 like all the Ruggles craft, but rather fuller than Uno and Beta, on 

 about the same midship section. She has, however, a bucket cockpit 

 with a trunk coming but a few inches above the waterline, aud when 

 she heels considerably nearly all the water that it will hold runs 

 out through the trunk, making her practically self-bailing. Her cen- 

 terboard is of heavier brass than in the older Ruggles canoes, at least 

 than those of two years back, and when raised stands well above the 

 deck. She has a 48in. slide, strongly made, the usual Ruggles steer- 

 ing gear, and a 48in. Butler tiller. Mr. Smythe entered Torment, 

 another new Ruggles canoe, which, with Mr. Elliott's new Truant, is 

 fitted with a sheet brass centerboard having a thick lump of lead, 

 some 181bs., fastened to tne lower edge, the trunk being made wide at 

 the after end 



Captain Whitlock sailed his new-old canoe, Hornet, a remarkable 

 craft. Since last season she has been in the hands of her budder, 

 Capt. Ruggles. who removed the old stem and sternpost and replaced 

 them with thinner ones, fairing out the lines at the extreme euds. 

 At the same time he removed all the timbers except those for a space 

 of 4ft. amidships, replacing them with new ones of rounder form, 

 filling out the line of the boat. The new nails were driven through 

 the old nail holes. The sheer was necessarily altered somewhat, a 

 new deck was laid, with a small cockpit and a high floor, all the 

 water emptying through the well, and an after board was put in. 

 Toltec, Wasp and Bee are all old canoes and well known. The latter 

 two carried the usual Butler reefing rig, nearly all the others carry- 

 ing standing sails. 



Apart from the few new canoes, the two heavy boards that have 

 not yet been tested, and some immaterial details of seat construction, 

 tl ere was nothing in model, construction, fittings or sails that has 

 not been seen before, in fact two or three years ago. Capt. Ruggles 

 had on Truant a very good seat, the ways being two parallel strips 

 bolted across the deck just abaft the cockpit, with a bracket under 

 the outer ends, on the side deck at the gunwale. The seat was a 

 single piece of oak, with a couple of guide strips on the lower side, 

 and held to the ways by a light brass casting on each side. Attached 

 to the seat at each end, and about }^in. from tha after side, so as to 

 clear one of the brass clamps, was a round piece of oak forming a 

 sort of handle for the seat, 



Saturday was a most unpleasant day, close and muggy, with a 

 damp easterly wind and threatening sky, the sun being invisible. 

 At the same time the wind, though light at times, was sufficient to 

 permit the sailing off of the whole programme; and the rain which 

 threatened did not fall. The course, a triangle with half-mile sides, 

 was well buoved, just In front of the club bouse in Gravesend Bay; 

 painted barrels being used to mark the turns, making excellent 

 marks. The handsome little cabin naphtha launch Erna was placed 

 by her owner. Mr. Greenfield, at the disposal of the judges. Messrs. 

 Winne, Lawson, Seavey and Stephens; while Mr. Vaux started and 

 timed the races from another boat. 



The first race was called at 11:30, the orders being three rounds, 

 4)4 miles, all buoys to starboard, making a reach off, a freer reach 

 on the second leg, and a beat over the third. Uno and Hornet cut 

 the line nearly together, both being beautifullv timed. Canuck came 

 next, followed by Bee, then Toltec, Wasp, Tornado and Wraith. On 

 the first leg, sailed very quickly with booms to starboard and sheets 

 eased off, the positions were unchanged, save that Wasp passed 

 Toltec, so that the first four came to the mark in a bunch. In the 

 jibe at the mark Hornet was crowded off by the others, and Inst her 

 place as a close second. When the preparatory signal was given, 

 after some delay in getting the fleet launched and rigged. Glenwood 

 was well out on the course trying the wind and did not notice the 

 signal. By the time that Mr. Oxholm realized that the scare was on 

 and had beat up to the line the whistle had been blown lor three 

 minutes, and be started with that handicap. 



Bee was sailing as fast as any on the reach of the second leg, and 

 when they came on the wind she ran into first place, the fleet scatter- 

 ing on port and starboard tacks. When they all came together at the 

 end of the round, Uno slipped into first place at the turn, followed by 

 Bee, while Wasp cut in ahead of Hornet. For some time the old 

 rivals Jones and Barrington had been ding-donging together, but at 

 the turn Canuck came out ahead. 



There was pretty work on tho next leg, as Uno took the lead from 

 Bee, only to be passed to windward by the latter near the end of the 

 leg; while just at the jibe Uno very cleverly cut inside again and took 

 first place. At the end of the second round Bee had a clear lead, 

 with Uno second, Hornet third and Wasp fourth, but Wasp ran 

 quickly outside of Hornet at the turn and headed her again. Toltec 

 had the best of Canuck now, and the positions were unchanged on the 

 last round, Bee winning, with Uno, Wasp, Hornet, Toltec and Canuck 

 in order. Glenwood never was fairly in the race, but sailed pluckily 

 In the wake of the fleet; her elapsed time being almost the same as 

 Uno. The full times were :

After a lunch at the club house the tandem race was called at 1 :20, 

 but two crews starting: 



Paddle Barrington & Plummer New York. 



Jonah Collins Bros Bayonne. 



The course w-as a measured mile, from above the New York C. C. 

 house at Bensonhurst to a finish off the Marine and Field Club 

 grounds. The New York crew led from the start and won easily, the 

 time being 9m. 4s. 



The club representative race, limited to local clubs, had as entries 

 Glenwood, Hornet, Toltec. Tornado and Wraith. The wind was light 

 N.E. when it started at 3:25. Hornet had a good start, with Glenwood 

 second and Toltec third. The distance was three rounds, as before, 

 but sailed in the contrary direction. The race was between Glen- 

 wood and Hom^t, the former taking the lead on the second round 

 and finally winning. The times were:

The principal event, the race for the Marine and Field Club cup, 

 was called at 5 o'clock, the wind being moderate, with puffs at times. 

 The course was three rounds, leaving all marks to port. The order 

 at the line was Canuck, Glenwood, Wasp, Bee. Toltec, Alpha. Hor- 

 net was very close to the buoy at the start, and in trying to clear it 

 she jibed and capsized. Captain Whitlock righted her and regained 

 his seat, and making a sweep around came for the line a second time, 

 but again capsized, this time withdrawing. Torment also capsized 

 on the line and withdrew. Glenwood soon took the lead, with Bee 

 second and Wasp third, while Canuck dropped back until alongside 

 of Toltec again. The race between Gleawood and Bee was very close 

 and exciting up to the last leg, when Bee ran ahead and finished 5s. 

 before Glenwood, giving Mr. Goddard the permanent ownership of 

 the cup.

 The final race was between the three war canoes Ko-Ko-Ko-Ho. of 

 Yonkers ; Ti-Hi-Ki-Qi Siss, of the Orescent Athletic Club, and Wa- 

 Wa, of the Orange C. O. The Yonkers canoe, under Captain Quick, 

 had a crew of nineteen, but the other two were under-manned, car- 

 rying about a dozen men each. The course was the same as in the 

 tandem race. The Yonkers took the lead at the start and held it to 

 the finish, winning by a clear length. The race was picturesque in 

 the extreme, the three great canoes with flashing paddles making a 

 flue appearance. 

 The crew of the Ko-Ko-Ko-Ho was made up as follows:

After the races the canoeists were entertained at dinner in the club 

 house, the evening passing very pleasantly with songs and speeches. 

 The prizes were presented, a pair of silver-mounted brushes to Mr. 

 Goddard for the first race; a timing watch to Mr. Quick, second; a 

 silver loving cup for the tandem, a handsome silver water 

 pitcher, salver and cup for the club r«ce, the Marine and Field 

 Club cup to Mr. Goddard and a handsome banner to the Yonkers 

 Club for the war canoe race. Many of the visitors slept at the club, 

 the three war canoes starting out early next morning. The whole 

 day was a pleasant one to all present, and the successful manage- 

 ment of such a series of races reflects the greatest credit on the 

 Marine and Field Club, as well as on Mr. Elliott, who has been the 

 leader in establishing the races as well as in carrying them out each 

 year. 



Atlantic Division, A. C. A. 



A meeting of the Atlantic Division, A. C. A., was held at the 

 Marioe and Field Club on June 18 at 5 o'clock P. M., Vice Com. L. 

 W. Seavey presiding. R, J. Wilkin, proxy for Rear-Corn. Palmer, 

 James R. Lake, W. S. Elliott and F. L. Dunnell were present. On 

 motion of Mr. Wilkin the reading of minutes of previous meeting 

 was dispensed with. Moved by Mr. Lake, that there shall be no meet 

 of the Atlantic Division this year. Carried. The following was en- 

 tered upon the minutes, after which the meeting adjourned. "For 

 the first time in the history of the A C. A., the Atlantic Division is 

 called upon to record the death, by drowning, of one of our beloved 

 companion, the commodore of the Brooklyn C. O, Charles Parker 

 Weekes, who, during the delightful excitement of a glorious cruise, 

 met death without an instant's warning, by being capsized from his 

 own canoe, in running the shute at Lackawaxen Dam, on the Dela- 

 ware River. Mr, Weekes has been a member of the A. C. A. for the 

 last six years, and by his death we lose a companion and friend, dear 

 to all who knew him. His beautiful character, judicious conduct, his 

 firm bearing and thoughtful mind, commauded our fullest confidence, 

 together with our love and honor. His manner was all gentleness, 

 his reverence most firm and his heart tender and true. While enjoy- 

 ing the sport he loved best, he was taken from us, and we can but in 

 a small way appreciate the blow to his bereaved widow and heart- 

 broken relatives. To them we offer aur sincerest sympathy. 'What 

 I do, thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter!' !:

New York C. C. Cup. June 21. 



BENSONHURST— GRAVESEND BAY. 



The second trial race on Tuesday, Juue 14, resulted in a victory for 

 Mr. T. S. Oxholm, df Yonkers, and he was chosen to represent the 

 New York C. C. under the conditions recently published. The first 

 race was set for Tuesday last at 4:30, the start being made 20 minutes 

 after that hour. The challenger. Mr. Ford Jones, of Brockville, Can .. 

 brought his old canoe Canuck, in which he has twice before sailed 

 for the New York C. C. cup, the boat and rig being in all details pre- 

 cisely the same as in her first season, 1880. Her lines and rig were 

 described and illustrated in the Forest and Stream of Sept. 18, Oct. 

 16 and Dec. 26, 1890. Mr. Oxholm's canoe is described elsewhere. 



The day was very warm, with a light S.W. wind and smooth water. 

 The triangular course, with one -mile sides, wa? laid out very care- 

 fully by crossbearings. and is believed t-> be quite accurate. Three 

 rounds, 9 miles, were sailed, the first leg of eacii being to windward, 

 the second and third reaching. 



The two canoes crossed close together within ten seconds of the 

 gtm, Glenwood being close under Canuck's lee. She at ,>nceran 

 ahead and across Canuck's bows out to windward. The two started 

 on starboard tack, but after a miuute Canuck tacked aud stood to 

 the westward, Glenwood not attempting to follow. When they met 

 again Glenwood was still well ahead and she continued to gain on 

 every one of the nine legs, The second leg was run with booms to 

 starboard, then a jibe at the second mark and a reach with a beam 

 wind to the starting line. At the end of the first round Glenwood 

 led by 2m. 14s , doubling this on the second. On the third the wind 

 fell lighter as a heavy thunder storm threatened in the N.W., but it 

 passed over without reaching Bensonhurst. The story of the race is 

 told in the following figures:

 noon, and barring accident will in all probability have the same re- 

 sult, the weather conditions being about the" same Glenwood 

 cairied 120ft. in two standing sails and Canuck 115ft. 



The Butler Seat in England. 



The following items from the Field show that the Butler deckseat 

 has become a permanent institution in British canoein°- and' that 

 although prohibited in the Royal C. C. by rules, which 'cannot be 

 changed during the racing season, it will be used In inauy races out- 

 side the club, or even in club races under penalty of disqualification- 

 "Racing and sailing in the south of England during tne Woitsun- 

 tide holidays has, as might be expected, given out one or two lessilns 

 in canoeing which will probably bear fruit when clubs meet at the 

 end of the year to legislate for the next season, The experiences 



allowing sliding deck-seats; and that canoes should be allowed to 

 form their area plan under the -rating' rule. 



"Sliding deck seats have now been very generally adopted in the 

 Royal Canoe Club; Lassie, Hermion, Vanessa, Nautilus Beaver and 

 Battledore are thus fitted; and three only, including Stella have 

 thus far kept clear of the allurement— that is of tho racing' team 

 The result of the sailing last week and this week is that thos" who 

 use the sliding seat ate nearly in open mutiny against the club for 

 wasting this season's enjoyment of racing. To go back from the 

 sliding seat to the ordinary wet deck break-back position, apart from 

 the question of management of the canoe, is such a marked dis- 

 comfort that it is openly suggested by "sliders" to sail for the 

 challenge cup with these seats, and be disqualified under the 

 rule. The sliding seat, of the pattern fitted to the Nautilus 

 can be put on to any. or nearly any, form of deck and size 

 of well, and costs, built in the best seasoned mahoganv only 

 £1. Our experience of using the sliding seat is that in rough ' water 

 sprays fly over the boat and into the well, but the canoe-man's body 

 is out to the windward all clear and dry, the power over the boat is 

 quite of a high order compared to sitting on the side, deck, and the 

 strains to one's back and legs is almost nil, and these facts are un- 

 iversally admitted. The addition of the seat does not constitute any 

 alteration of the boat or her sail plan, but enables the utmost to be 

 got out of her. Even now. though Stella has won all her races ex- 

 cept two, it is very generally thought that Battledore can beat Stella 

 any time if sliding seats are on. Battledore was not sailing in the 

 sliding seat race on Saturday, but it was a day of most "peculiar 

 winds and shifts. Stella picked up a long slant during the troublous 

 rouud, and was an easy winner. Nautilus, hitherto supposed to be 

 somewhat ticklish owing to her rouud bottom, proved quite a differ- 

 ent boat under sliding-seat, and, weathering all the squall, came in 

 second." 



Who Is He? 



Editur Forest and Stream: 



In looking over an account in an evening paper of the regatta of 

 the Marine and Field Club (slip inclosed), I notice among the names 

 of officers one which has a familiar look and yet is decidedly puz- 

 zling. I should have thought it was intended for our old friend C 

 Bowyer Vaux had it not stated that "T. Bowverkaux" was a member 

 of the "New York Canal Club." Is this a club that sails canal boats' 

 Ah! a light breaks in upon me— it is— it must be that the same Bow- 

 yer has changed his club, and now that he has finally fetched 

 up in a "Canal Club," he is trying to conceal his identity but it 

 won't do, C. B., we are on to your little game. IF I am not right Mi- 

 Editor, will you kindly correct me and oblige. Shell Back.
