OWEENE AND ALBORAK.-Oa Sept. 10 a private match was 

 sailed oil Marblehead between Oweene, Mr. A. B, Turner, and 

 Alhorak. Mr. J. B. Paine, in order to test the improvements 

 made in the latter boat. The course, was from off Marhlehead 

 Rock, arottnd Harding's bell buoy. 12i^ miles to windward and 

 return. The start was siven at 11:45, Oweene sailed by Oapt. 

 Chas. Barr, going oyer at 11:46:26, while Alborak. steered by Capt. 

 Hank Haft", crossed at 11:47:84. On the first tack off shore a slight 

 shift ot wiud helped Oweene a little, but she was gaining steadily 

 all the way, both in pointing and footing, the times at the weather 

 mark being: Oweene 2:00:00, Alborak 2:08:20; Oweene had gained 

 7m. 2s., which lead she held in running home, the full time«

"WHO WON?"— The 1891 edition of Oapt, Summers's standard 

 book differs from that of last season mainly in the added accu- 

 racy and more compact form of tbe immense amount of informa- 

 tion which it contains. The reputation of tbe book has been so 

 firmly established by the previous volumes that we need only say 

 that the last is the best of all. 



EDWARD BURGESS AND HIS WORK.— The September 

 nnmber ot the New England Magazine contains a very able and 

 interesting article under tbe abo^^e beading by Mr. A, G. McVey, 

 yacbting editor of tbe Boston. Herald. The illustrations, includ- 

 ing a portrait of Mr. Burgess, are very good. 



Secretaries of canoe clubs are reciuested to send to Fobest and 

 Stream their addresses, with name, membership, signal, etc., of 

 their clubs, and also notices in advance of meetings and races, and 

 report of the same. Canoeists and all interested in canoeing are 

 requested to forward to Fobest and Steeam their addresses, with 

 logs of cruises, maps, and information concerning their local 

 waters, drawings or descriptions of boats and fittings, and aU 

 items relating to the sport. 



ADDRESS WANTED.— We have heard a number of pressing 

 Inquiries lately as to the identity of the writer of the following 

 comments on the meet, which appeared in the 'Tribune a short 

 time since: "Too many of the races were called to suit the pleas, 

 ure of the ladies' camp and not to serve the convenience of the 

 canoeists. The fact is that the ladies' camp has grown to be an 

 altogether too important factor in the meets. Apparently it often 

 dictates the policy of the camp; certain it takes the attention of 

 many from their canoeing duties and requires more attention to 

 the dress than should be required. Either the ladies' camp must 

 be made of less importance or else the active canoeists will with, 

 draw from the American Canoeists' (?) Association and form a 

 new association, without any such appendage as 'Squaw Point.' 

 Such a threat was heard frequently in the course of the meet, but 



it is not likely to be carried out unless the situation as to the 

 ladles' camp grows worse." We venture the opinion that without 

 the i-illuence of the ladies' camp the meet would lose the attend- 

 ance of many of the older and stf adier members of the A. C. A., 

 non-girling men at that, who are never seen at Squaw Point. 



THE PASSAIC RIVER REGATTA. 



THE canoeists of the Passaic River held a very successful meet 

 on Sept. 5, 6 and 7 in the neighborhood of the lanthe, Arling- 

 ton and Orange Canoe Clubs. No tents were pitched, the canoeists 

 pref furring to sleep in the club houses. Members of the Bayonne, 

 Hol)oken and Crescent Canoe Clubs cruised up the river several 

 days before the date of the meet, and canoeists from Rutherford, 

 Passaic and other poinis arrived on Friday night. 



Saturday afternoon at 3 P. M. the first event on the programme 

 of the Orange C. C, vvas called. It was the junior sailing 

 race, and was won by W. H. Smiley, of the Orange C. O , in canoe 

 Scout, the other contestants being unable to finish thn race on 

 account of lack of wind. The paddling races were called next, 

 and resulted as follows: 

 Senior Paddling Race— L. B. Palmer, lanthe. 

 •Junior i^addling Race— J. Stewart, lanthe.

 first, G. P. Douglas second, F. B. Collins third, Pockman fourth. 



Club Four Paddling— Douglas, Palmer, W. Stewart and Duguid. 

 lanthe. 



The hurry scurry race was the most interesting of all. Edinger 

 followed Palm'^r's course last year and ran np the river bank, and 

 then swam with tbe tide to his canoe, whii h he reached ling be- 

 fore Metze, the only other contestant, could cover the distance 

 swimming against the tide. Edinger upset at the signal, and 

 would have won by a long lead, but by upsetting again by request 

 before crossing the finish line, he was passed by Metze before he 

 could regain his canoe. During the evening the visitors were en- 

 tertained by tbe Orange Club. 



On Sunday many of the canoeists paddled up the river as far as 

 Passaic, where dinner was served. 



On Monday morning the canoeists were astir at an early hour 

 and the first race of tue Arlington regatta was started promptly 

 at nine o'clock, and proved to be as good a race as has been sailed 

 on the river. Seven of tlie canoes were upset by the strong N. W. 

 breeze. Douglass finished first. Palmer second. 



Louis Simpson, of Yonkers, won single paddling race, with Du- 

 guid second. 



Paddling Tandem, Decked Canoes— Douglass and Duguid first, 

 Pockman and Simpson second. 



Paddling Tandem, Open Canoes— Palmer and Hart first, Stewart 

 and Archibald second. 



Padddling club four, won by lanthe crew. 



Paddling and Sailing Combined for the Passaic River Record— 

 Palmer first, Douglass second. 



Hurry Scurry and Upset— Edinger, Gresoent C. C, first, Dudley, 

 Knickerbocker C. C, second. 



After the regatta lunch was served a.nd handsome prizes pre- 

 sented.

 G:20 P. M. 



This was the most successful regatta ever held by the lanthe 

 C. C, and the guests of the club were continually interested. 

 During the evening there was a large number present at the sup- 

 per of .«alad, coffee, sandwiches, etc.; Vice-Com. Winn6, Sec'y- 

 elect Wackerhagen, and other Mohicans; W. L. Dudley, J. K. 

 Hand, of the Knickerbockers; R. J. Wilkin, H. H. Smythe, and
