Camp, Linden wald Point, Lake Winnebago, Wis , July 14.— "B-s-s- 

 8-sh-boomI abT' Tbis was the remark, made incidentally but 

 positively, la.st night by thirty muscular youngmen dressed in sweat- 

 ees and knick'^rbockers, who occupied the front row of seats at the 

 0.-5hkosb Opera House. The re'it of the audipnce jumped nei-vously, 

 ''Look out for the stick 1" remarked the thirty musculi»r young men 

 witb equal posi'iveness. The audience dodg"ed and looked a trifle 

 scandalized. The audience wasglaJ when the orchestra besan to 

 play. ISo were the thirty muscular voung men, because before long 

 they beard the opening note of a f ^mili'^ar popular air. The tbircv 

 itfusctilar yovaig men with one voice fell into line and joyfully sang— 



"Ta-ra-ra boom-de 3yi 

 Ta ra-ra boom de-aj.' 

 Ta-'/c-ra boom de ay ! 

 Ta-ra-ra 6oom-de-ayr' 



Then they repeated softly, and repeated loudly, and did 't 

 da capo, and ollvriretto, and staccato, and scherzando,BeDd forte, and 

 d I capo aaam some more yet. 'fhe thirty muscular young men were 

 faradlar with this air. They had sung it cheerfully to every farm- 

 bouse and to every young woman they had passed on their way into 

 town on the long 'bus. Kvery time Dickie Merrill, who sat on the 

 front seat and carried the honorable office of head bugeleer, gave 

 warning, in the dear notes of the cavalry assembly call, that a 

 farmhouse or a girl was in sight, the Cbirty muscul ir young men fell 

 Into line and sanp cheerfully. This disturtied the cows a good 

 deol, and caused mo.st of the young women to jump che fence and 

 take to the woods, but it gave the yonng men a tine chaace to grow 

 familiar with the intricate air of "Boom de-ar." ^nd enabled ih.-m 

 to execute it at the opera bouse with greai, esprit, eclat and sa.ng 

 froid At first the bliiod of the audience ran cold. 'Tuen the wnrd 

 went back that the thirty mu-icular young men were not wild men 

 from Borneo, but canoeists from Lindenwald. The audience ap- 

 plauded. Mr. Kitchen of Chicago, appointed a committee of one, 

 arose from his seat near the orchestra, turned to the audience 

 and bowed profour'di;y with his hand upon his heart. Then 

 the audience yelled with delight, and everybo^j^ was in tbe best 

 sort ot rapport for an evening of solid fun. fn wliieh the i nfortunate 

 stage people were the main suflCorers. Tbe villain was openly reviled 

 and tbe comedian and his wife were given some advice, in a frank' 

 canuid way, as to methods by which they could improve their make- 

 up. With any song the toirty young men joined in and assisted che 

 actors, and at any dance they cheerfully patted Juba in perfect time 

 Fmally the leading danseuse. clad in scarlet all over and under, ap- 

 peared to do her act, and a loud "Ab-h-h !" greeted her. A rapid 

 word passed down the hue— "Bouquet! bouquetl" Every muscular 

 young man took from bis broad bosom the brave red wild" rose which 

 had been ordered as part of ibe evening's uniform, and in a moment 

 Commodore Gai-dner had a double handful ot roses. A gentleman 

 volunteered the rather dirty string which bad bound a rag upon his 

 sore finger, and the roses were tied together with a double bowline 

 hitch. A collection, taken up in a cap. and consisting of cigarettes, 

 chewing tobacco, matches, eoppera, quarters, etc., etc., was passed 

 with the dowers to the head usher, aud he presented the latter to 

 the dancer in scarlet, who smiled, flushed and redoubled her efforts 

 She danced harder, one dare say. and to heartier applause, than ever 

 in her life before. In the next act sue wore the roses oh her bosom 

 and every time she appeared the thirty young men greeted her with a 

 clieerfur'Ah-h-hl" when the soubreitecameon they said "Ah-b-hl" 

 also, and helped her when she danced by patting lovely time and 

 whistling a cheerful chorus. At the close of the performance the 

 manager tried to make a speech, but be didn't make much of a 

 speech. As the curtain fell the soubrette made a line shot at the 

 young men with a half loaf of property bread, which was caught 

 fair by Mr. Kitchen, who yelled, '•Judgment!" Tne audience Hied 

 out, and in the open air took a long breath. 



Then the thirty muscular young men got ioto their long war canoe 

 'bus, and sang •■Boom-de-ay" for a change as they started home. 

 They passed a policeman, a foolish Hibernian, who didn't know the 

 mayor had given the W. U. A. the city of Oshkosh to play with for a 

 week, 



-G'wan, g'wan," said the policeman, whose name was Casey. 

 '•Boom de ay," remarked tne thirty young men. 

 • "O I'll not haive that!" said Casey. "Ol'Jl i*un yez in, Oi will, Oi 

 will!" 



"Whoa!" cried everybody. '"Get in, ofdeer, and we'll take you 

 around 10 the SI ation house." 



So Casey got iu, or rather got on the back step of the 'bus. From 

 this he fell oil after a short ride. When the boys mi-<sed him they 

 turned around and drovf back after hiui. meetin^f him much blown 

 with a fruitless lun after the departing vehicle. He was again 

 offered a ride to tne station bouse, and the situation seemed different 

 to him. 



'ui'll arrist the driver," said he. 



'No, no!" cried everybody, '"it wasn't his fault." 



'Well. Thin, Oi'll arrist the horrrses and wagin!" said Casey, who 

 felt that the dignity of the law must be mahitained. But he 'houeht 

 better of even that, and so the party went on back lo earnp. This 

 niorniog, when he sees the mayor and the chief of police, Mr. Casey 

 will probably ivgret the fact that he tried to nm iu the owners of the 

 iown. As the war wagon left the city there was a temporary change 

 Of air to one embodying the sinftdness and lack of wisdom of that 



"Peculiar policeman called Casey, 

 For fear of losing his place, he 

 Would run In tbe boys 

 For a-mal;in' a noise— 

 This peculiar policeman called Casey." 



Tben the thirty inuscular young men sang "Boys will be Boys," 

 also "Little Old Man," "Tavern in Our Town," and about a thousand 

 other native melodies, with seme occasiooal revertance to the piece 

 of resistance, -'Boom de ay." And as they turned in it was nearly 

 time for another day. 



Prom the above and foregoing it may be seen that the canoe meet 

 of the West is now in progress, and that all is going about as it 

 snould. 



Under Secretary Woodruff's supervision the first tents went up 

 last Saturday, July 9. Sunday there was rain. Monday was clear. 

 Heavy rain fell Tuesday afternoon. It was clear yestertay and to- 

 day is a lovely day. The prospect for enjoyable weather is good. 



The movement of this AssoeiftcioD meet rrom Ballast Island to 

 0.''hkosb for this year was probably oenelieiai on tbe whole, as it 

 awakt ns interest In circles to whiCh Ballast has seemed a distant 

 country. In the future, should the old location be taken up, it ma,y 

 not si-em so remote as no «. It is new men who are needed in the As- 

 sociation, and tbig should not be forgotten in any place. The old 

 men are bound to continue in their loyalty. 



As to the quality and charat terisiics of the 1892 location, we can 

 probably n-.t do belter than to iead from the year book, which has 

 the folio wing to say: 



"Lake Winnebago is one of the prettiest sheets of water in the 

 Northwest, and unequalled either Eist or West in its facilities for 

 canoeing or yachtmg. It is thirty miles long by eight to eleven miles 

 wide. The eastern shores are high and abound in picturesque sweeps 

 of scenery. The western shore is lower, in.^uring steady breezes. It 

 is on this shore, four miles south of Oshkosh, and twelve miles north 

 Of Fond du Lac, on Lindeuwald Point, that the camp will be pitched. 



'■Lane Wiijuebago has an historical interest, which is of itself one 

 of the most charming features of the beautiful inland sea. It may 

 well be called theChamplain of the West. When New England was 

 an unexplored wilderness. Lake Winnebago was a link in the chain 

 ot waterways which formed a route by which French missionaries 

 and French explorers had penetrated to the heart of the condneot. 

 Fh?et after fleet of hght canoes had dancea along its waves or swept 

 swiftly over its mirrored surface, while Hoston was but a half -formed 

 hamlet and New York a fat, somnolent burger town.owing allegiauca 

 to the land ot the blue tulip. For years afterward this was tne only 

 route from the great lakes to the Mississippi. Starting from Green 

 Bay. the line of canoes or batteaus would push uji the Pox River 

 with its foaming rapids, coming out into Late Winnebago and 

 gfidiug down its sparkling waters until the mnu'h of the Wolf was 

 reached, where now s ands the bustling city of OshKosb. and then up 

 the Wolf again into the JBox to the "por'age," half way across what 

 ■ now Wisconsin, and down that broad river to the Mississippi. 



"Any canoer can, if he will, travel the same route this year, and 

 with more ease than was eriven to the old explorers, as the govern- 

 ment has locked the rapids rf the Fox and pretty cities are strung 

 along it every few miles, like pearls on a chain, where he can find 

 resting place. Above, the traveler would have to pick his way along 

 tbe rice swamps and i-eedw, as did his ancient predecessors. 



"It will be .'ieen, therefore, that in choosing Lake Winnebago f >r a 

 eampiflg ground the W. C. A builded wisely. The point on which 

 the '92 camp will be loc ited is an ideal spot for an outing. It is 900ft. 

 long and from a5 to lOOfC. wide, the greatest width being at the lake 

 <snd. The groimd is delightfully shaded by native trees with softtinf 

 beneath, witb the exeepcion of an open glade at the end iurthest from 

 the mainland, which is clear of shrub and ha* the appearance of an 

 old council ground, for which it is admirably adapted On the south 

 .side of the point the shore is rocky And abrupt, furnishing plenty of 

 deep water for the do<ais. On this north side is a beacb bf hard, white 



sand, 150ft, long and the same in breadth, which shoals gradiially 

 and furnishes unexampled facilities for bathing, 



' Once in camT), it will be tbe fault of the canoer if he does not 

 er j ly himself. There is goo I cruising in every direction. It is but 

 twtl-e miles to Fond du Lac, and the wav is dotted with hcspitable 

 homes. Oshkosh is but four miles away, while if tbe canoer is in 

 .'Parch of society be has only to keep on past the moutli of the Wolf 

 River for four miles more and he will come upon one of the most 

 fashionable resorts of ihe section, where be is certain to be vvarmlv 

 welcomed. Across the lake, plainly visible, a short ten miles away, 

 is tbe beautiful land nf the Stockbridges, who fleeing first fr om New 

 England and New York, floally came here to seek and find rest. It is 

 a country full of senfiment. If possessed by a touch of historical 

 sentiment, tbe canoer can cut loose from camp and drift loly down 

 the Fox, as the old explorers did ; past Neenah, Menasha, Appleton — 

 an o'd college town— Kaukauaa and De Pere. to Green Bay. then put 

 bis canoe on the cars and be back ready for the races or any other 

 sport the next mcrning. No better or mteresting cruising grounds 

 could be found anywhere." 



The camp grounds on Lindenwald Psint would have been much 

 better had the undergrowth been cleared away at some spots along 

 the .shore. These wet thickets harbor mosquitoes, which pests made 

 trouble for a night or so, though ordinarily a fresh evening breezr! 

 ricis the camp nf them. Tbe site itself is "pleasant, indeed very de- 

 sirable, aflCording a flue view of the lake, and giving a fine position 

 for starting sailing races, as no sweep of land cuts off the wmd, tne 

 point being a long peninsula. 



On this peninsula the camp is pitched along a central street, which 

 sweeps out into a circular plaza on the bulb of the neuitisula next 

 the shore. In the center of this pleasure commons there is niehtiy 

 builded the huge council Are, about which plenty pow-wow is held. ' 



The arrangement of the tents is as follows, beginning at the big 

 mess tent and cook house, and going toward tbe council ground- 

 First, a tent of huckawa C C , of Dayton, O.; next, the tent of W. 

 H Yardley. of Minneapolis C. C, who represents fhe St. Paul Qldbe' 

 next, four large tent.s of fie Mahn-a-wauk C. C, of Milwauke°, 

 " hich h s the lar.?est showing of any organizatim ; next, another 

 Ruckawatent, headquarters of Mr. O. A. WooJruff, .«ecret+rv trea«- 

 ui er; next, the tent of Commodore G, H. Gardner, of Cleveland C. C. 

 This completes the line down to the council ground. Beginning 

 again at the mess tent, and going down upon tbe right hand side, 

 tnere come first the two tents of the Racine C. C, just beyona where 

 space has been re.served lor two tents of Traverse City (Mich.) C C • 

 next beyond this Mr. A S. Oomstock, of Evanston C. "C, has i>iiched 

 one of his neat little Hrotean tent', and close thereby is the dotni- 

 ciie of Forest and SratAM; beyond again is the abode of Mr. Geo. 

 P. Mathes, of Mil vaukee, representing the Chicago Times in Wis- 

 consin, and the Milwaukee iSew.fweZ here, also using his spare timt3 

 In representing himself, for he has two boats along and is an en- 

 tbus.ast In the sport. Beyond on the line is the marquee of Commo- 

 dore Smith, of Davenport (la ) C. C: ; next thereto, the two large 

 tents of Oshkosh O. C , then the small "A" tent of Grandpa G'ites, of 

 Columbus (O.) C- C ; then the tent of Kenwood C. C, of Chicago, and 

 the big and well appointed canvas house occupied by the lively 

 representatives of the Chicago C. C. This again brings us to the 

 lake. There are now in place mueteen tents. Most of tliese are very 

 large. Canoeists seem gregarious in their habits, hei-e at lea>-t, anfl 

 there is little camping of the solitar.v, individual sort which most 

 people attribute to the craft. 



There appeaj upon the mess tent register the following names, al 1 

 present at date:

THE RACING. 



' The reg'jlar events did not begin until Tuesday, but on Monday a 

 scrub race was pulled off tor the amusement of the gentlemen on 

 board the Milwaukee yacht Idle Horn-, one of the many boats which 

 from time to time bad run into the bays near by. on bom-d this 

 boat were Me.=srs Will a.nd John Mariner, H. B, Sanderson, George 

 Nash, A. W. Frie.se and Riebara Merrill. The start for the ncrub 

 race was made from the yacht and the course lay to a boat anchored 

 about a mile out in the lake, around this and r'etiirn. The starters 

 were O. A. Woodruff, canoe Wood; Nat Cook, c^ooo Lo'us-; F. B. 

 Huntington, canoe Lilla; F. W. Dickens, canoe Sky ver; Emil Han- 

 sen, canoe Avis; A. McLiaegan, canoe Safety; Hugo Hansen, canoe 

 Bon Ami; A. W. Friese, canoe Eleetra. At the hne the positions 

 were Nat Cook, Huntington, Woodruft', E. Hansen, Dickens, H. 

 Hansen, McLinegan and Friese in order given. At the turn the 

 positions were, in order, Woodruffl, E. Hansen, Huntington, Nat 

 Cook, Dickens, H. Hansen, McLinegan and Friese. The first leg of 

 the course was a straight run before a puffy .sou'west wmd and 

 the return wa.s a beat to windwai-d. At this latter the crew of the 

 Wood seemed at home and won without serious doubt of it, Nat 

 Cook and Huntington fluisbiog next neck aud neck, Emil Hansen, 

 in his peculiar flu keel Gardner boat. Avis, coming next, af'er miss- 

 ing in hi? last reach and going about. The others in order were 

 Dickens McLinegan, Friese and Hugo Hanson. 



After this Utile eye-opener the caoos Eiec^ra, a birch-model boat, 

 furnished amusement to several amateurs by dumping them into 

 ttje lake. 



On Tuesday morning the course was established for the reeular 

 events. The stai'ling stake was placed at a point perhaps aOOyds. 

 from the point of the peuinsula.a line from this to the iJommodore's 

 tent being made the starting basis. Tne eourse is triaogidar, the 

 first buov from the dne laid at a distance supposed to be naif mile, 

 though probaiily it is greater. Tbe three lens of the triangle are 

 equ-1, or intended to oe so. and the eourse is twice round the tri- 

 angle, for three miles. The starting is done by three guns, the 

 first a flve-minnte gun. the second a one-minute gun, and the third 

 tor "go." In this work the tidy cannon presented the Association by 

 the late Judge Longworth was used. The time-keepers sat on the 

 high shore at the end of the peninsula, whence tbe entire course 

 was easily visible. From this position of aovantage the scene was 

 very animated and beautiful as the graceful 'ittle ships went 

 nodding and bowing by, or wheeled in graceful curves about the fur- 

 ther buoys. 



Tbe flrsc event of the meet for the Gardner cup, was started at 10.20, 

 under a .stiff southwest wind.
