FOREST AND STREAM. 



189 



The various comrnents and criticisms vvhicli tlie Forest and Stream 

 in common with canoeists has made on previous meets have been 

 met by the statement that the average canoeist is a chronic Ificker 

 who pa.TS but a dollar a year and wants everything in return. That 

 this is untrue is shown by the present meet, at which there has been 

 hardly a complaint from anyone, even under the trying conditions o£ 

 the rainy weather. The fact that the officers bad made an earnest 

 and succpssful effort to secure all practicable advantages for the 

 campers, was appreciated by all; and such work and discomfort as 

 is incidental to all camping was accepted cheetfally as a part of the 

 fun. That grumbling which has been heard in other years over de- 

 fective transportation or poorly managed rai..es was absent this year, 

 not because everything was absolutely perfect, but because all ar- 

 rangements were as good as could reasonably be expected. 



The incidental entertainments which have been an interesting 

 featui'e of every camp since Mr. Seavey joined the A. 0. A. in 1S84 

 have all been surpassed by the number and quality of those given 

 this year. The old fellows will remember the first affair, the Indian 

 war dance and tableau on the hill at Grindstone, in which little Sob 

 took a star part. From that time on Mr. Seavey has been the recog" 

 nizedhead of all camp frolics, inckiding the famous "ball" at Bow 

 Arrow Point in 1887, the "Great Triple Atigregation" at Stave Island 

 in 1888, the minstrel show at Jessup's Neck in 1890 and the great sea 

 serpent and improptu tableaux here last year. The greatest of all 

 of th<-se was the Stave Island circus, an entirely impromptu affair, 

 but excellently managed. The two entertainments this year were 

 more elaborate, being plaoned long in advance. The "As You Like 

 It" tableaux were worthy of a far larger audience and of more than 

 one sohtary performance, being most artistically produced. The 

 illuminalion and storming of the fort were also on a most elaborate 

 scale, and would have attracted attention under any circumstances, 

 being all the more remarkable when produced for a single night in 

 the woods. With these two were the camp-fire of the Bulwagga 

 C. C. with the best musical programme ever given at a meet; the 

 three making a series of performances which will probably be tm- 

 equalled tor a long tune, although it is the wish of every good A. C. 

 A. man that "Seavey may manage all our shows, for a hundred years 

 to come." 



The two facts which stand out most prominently in connection 

 with the 13th annual meet of the American Oanoe Association are 

 that it has been an unqualified succtss, and that this success has 

 been due primarily and principally to Com. Winne. The able and 

 efficient work of every committee has been an important factor, hut 

 from first to last, from the meeting of the executive committee last 

 November until the A. C. A. flag was lowered for the last time in 

 camp last week, the Commodore has worked unceasingly over every 

 detail The weather of the first ten days was most discouraging, 

 threatening a failure of the entire meet: but through it all the Com- 

 modore \ras as bright and cheerful as ever, all over the camp, with 

 a plf asact word here and a laugh at the rain there, leading in one 

 project or another to keep the camp alive and the canoeists amused 

 The perfect working of all details of transportation, camp location 

 and other matters wbich have given so much trouble in previous 

 years, bears testimony to bis executive ability; but beyond this he 

 has done much for the social life of the meet, bringiog the men to- 

 gether and making of the camp one large party of intimate friends. 



There are two very difficult tasks which fall to the lot of every 

 commodore during the meet at which he presides. One of these is 

 to keep the camp alive, to amuse and interest every one, and to 

 mould the whole parly of over two hundred, many of them new men 

 and strangers, into one friendly and sociable body. Tbe other task 

 is to restrain the more turbulent spirits who bring disorder to every 

 meet, and to keetj Ibem within bounds which shall not infringe on 

 th" enjoyment of the majority of those present. 



Com. Winne has proved equal to both tasks; he has taken the lead 

 in every entertainment, and has made the headquarters what it 

 should be, the central ppint of the whole meet and camp. 



The quiet and order which has prevailed in the present camp is in 

 marked contrast to some previous years. The first experimental out- 

 break after the style of last year, led hymen who from their positions 

 should know better, met with such prompt action on the part of the 

 Commodore that it was not repeated, and the result was that such 

 fun as prevailed after taps at 11 P. M., was so subdued as to cause 

 little disturbance to those who wished to spend a part of the night in 

 sleep. 



A Lazy Cruise for Recreation. 



Smyth proposea it. Ward suggested the destination— the Atlantic 

 Highlands. Vaux moved that a sloop be chartered to take the 

 canoes and duffie across the Biy and bring them hack. Stevens en- 

 gaged the sloop, and he and Plummer purchased the "prog." Mac 

 Lake and SchieffeUn simply agreed to go. Rauol said he would sail 

 over in his own boat and camp with the party, and he did. Ward 

 could n t get his catboat off the shore, wbere she grounded in a 

 squall, and therefore missed the fun and unfortunately for all— him- 

 self included— had to stay at home over the glorious Fourth. 



Friday evening just at sunset the 40-ton sloop Grover Cleveland 

 dropped anchor off the Bensonhurst pier and Captain Mack came 

 ashore to the New York O. C. float in his yawl to report readv for 

 orders. 



The club house presented a busy scene. Old camp kits and shore 

 tents were being overhauled, and the racing canoes were put in 

 cruising trim Few regatta day visitors would have believed that 

 the house contained any cruising outfits, since tbeir many visits 

 there had revealed to them nothing but large sails, 5ft. sliding seats, 

 and purely racing canoes. It must be confessed tbat the word crwis- 

 Mifif has rarely been heard spoken in the club house of late years, 

 and since the ante South Beach days no cruising has been done by 

 the members or from the club house except by the veteran Dr. 

 Curtis — who is now off for a month— and young Raoul who has 

 never had an attack of racing fever. 



There was no wind at 8 on Saturday moi-ning and therefore the five 

 who were on hand took things leisurelv, and by easy stages ferried 

 the duflle out to the Grover and got their canoes on deck, Raoul left 

 the house at 5 in the morning to sail to the camp in Marguerite Lake 

 and Sciiieffelin could not leave their offices in time to sail down on 

 the sloop, but were to go by train later in the day, and therefore 

 tbeir canoes and camping things were put aboard the Grover with 

 the rest. 



A light breeze sprang up at 10 o'clock, S.S.E.. and dead ahead 

 Everything was on board and" ready for the voyage. The anchor 

 was lifted, the jib setand the sloop headed as near south as she could 

 pomt. The day was perfect, hot sun and cool breeze, and the men 

 could not have enjoyed the sailing more if they had been on the deck 

 of the finest yacht. 



The steward started a fire in the cabin stove a little lat^r on and 

 prepared a meal for the captain and crew, including a big ba,tch of 

 hot biscuit, a large part of which he offered to the passengers, and 

 they were not slow in accepting the kindness. The stove was turaed 

 over to the two cooks of the party as soon as captain and crew had 

 dined, and a delicious meal was served up to those on deck, thtis 

 making the first hole in the camp stores. 



The tide was high at 1:30. At 2:30 the sloop ran hard and fast 

 aground on the highest flat in the Horseshoe, a mile off shore. By 3 

 P. M the canoes were all afloat and ah the camp dulHe was stowed 

 in the yawl alongside ready for the voyage up the Shrewsbury to the 

 campground that had been settled upon beforehand. All sailed, 

 even the yaw!, and worked to windward up to the Central R. R. 

 drawbridge. There a very strong ebb current was encountced and 

 the yawl carried away her centerboard by striking a bar. Plummer 

 and Smythe had gone ahead above the draw. Mac. Stevens and 

 Vaux kept near the yawl, their base of supplies. A council of war 

 was held, and it was decided to get a shore meal before proceedine 

 further. While the men were dining Plummer and Smythe returned 

 and then it was decided to campnearby as it was getting late and the 

 crew had to return to the sloop tQ help O&pt, Maclf gpt the Grover 



pffi.tiie flat at' tte nest high tide, >^ ■ ' - 



The onlji Republican in the 'partv'deliberated some time early in 

 the day before he consented to board a transport having such a 

 name, and was jnl-)ilant when the sloop ran aground, and he could 

 get in bis "I told you so " 



Running down before the wind the cano&s skirted the shore at the 

 mouth of the river, and a mile below the bridge on the shore of tne 

 bay a fine sand beach was found. The canoes were beached less 

 than half a mile from a house where it wss evident fresh water could 

 be obtained, and the camp things were taken ashore from the yawl, 

 and the work of pitching terns began. It was dark before, the 

 two ten 5 were up and the cots and blankets placed in th<^m ready for 

 the night, Plummer put a small tentov^r his canoe and slept in it. 



After the heavy work was done a camp-flre was started and a re- 

 freshing beverage brewed over it, just as a hke tipple used to be 

 made on Gnndstone Island. 



Probabilities were talked over and it was aaroed that Raoul had 

 reached the camp ground on Pleasure Biy before dark, and that 

 Lakeand Schieffelin, coming down by train, hadfound him and would 

 camp with him over night, and not 'finding the rest of the party, all 

 three would sail down the river next morning in the Marguerite look- 

 InK for the main camp. 



ExBctly this happened. The Marguerite made her appearance be- 

 fore 11 o'clock and then the party was complete. Lake and SchieffeUn 

 went out to the sloop and got their canoes and pitohed their tent. 

 As a stiff gale of wind was blowing, tbs rest of the party was con- 

 tent to stay ashore and rest. The day was intensely hot, and swim- 

 ming proved to be the most satisfying divnrsion. 



After dinner the w»st showed manifest signs of a heavy squall and 

 thunder shower. It w;is Hue watching the storm gather and the 

 heavy clouds gradually s|)read out to the north and east. Ample 

 warnine of the coming troniile was given, and the old campers 

 heeded the signs in the sky by securing their tents with strong guy 

 lines and long pegs driven far down into the heavy sand. Rubber 

 blanket,s w^ere spread over the things in the tents, oilers and so'wes- 

 ters were fished out ready to be put on at a minute's notice. When 

 the storm broke it did no damage, although it was by far the most 

 violent experienced in this vicinity thus far this year. 



Those who were at Jessup's Neck in 1890 that first Sunday of camp 

 will appreciate what a heavy thunder squall means to campers. The 

 men did not stay in their tents, but in oilers and with hare feet re- 

 mained outside to bo prepared to repair damages quickly and satis- 

 factoril.y if any accident happened. The tents stood the test and 

 remained firm, leaking so little that nothing of any account got wet. 

 Dry wood bad been stored away, and when the heavy part of the 

 shower passed over, a Are was started and a royal dinner cooked and 

 eaten just as darkness shut in. The rain Kept up in a half-hearr<=d 

 wav till nearly 10 o'clock; but with a gO">d camp- fire and comfortable 

 tents it mattered not to the campers what the weather might be. 



One of the lanterns had a bad habit of eroing out at inconvenient 

 times. The owner had been using it pretty constantly for some time, 

 either carrying it about with him, or leaving it on the ground to 

 mark the spot where some useful article had been temporarily 

 placed. While carrying this lantern late in the evening the owner 

 was seen moving about the beach in a way that indicated that he 

 was in search of sompthiog. He visited every spot where his things 

 had been placed at different times, and was heard to mutter strangre 

 incantations meanwhile. Finally he exclaimed, "Confound that 

 lantern; it's out again, and I can't find it." A roar of laughter 

 greeted this remark, and he was asked if be expected to find it by 

 the light in his ham I. He lb i^n admitted that "it was one on him"— 

 and his name was Vaux. Before 11 all were asleep 



At about 1 A. M. the wind shifted, the sky cleared and a violent 

 wind squall from the west struck the camp, driving sand, sticks and 

 beach-drift before it, which hammered on the canvas and awoke the 

 sleepers, who at once supposed anothprrain squall was uti^n them. 

 The wind was even more severe than during the thunder squall, and 

 bl«w the hot coals from the slumbering camp-fire along ttie bpach, 

 emitting sparks as they went, which threatened destruction to tents, 

 sails and canoes. Water had to be hastily rhro vn over the fire to 

 prevent a conflagration. The large tent occupied by Lake, Schieffe- 

 lin and Plummer blew about in such a violent manner and made such 

 a noise about it that sleep for them was impossible, even after they 

 felt certain it was not in danger of hlowine away. Not until 4 A.M. , 

 when the wind moderated somewhat, did they go off to sleep again. 

 The ot^iers had no trouble. 



Monday morning was in every way tbe glorious Fourth. The sky 

 was clear, the air cool, not a cloud to be seen and a strong west 

 wind was blowing, which kicked up a heavy sea, as it had the full 

 width of the bay for its sweep. After a very elaborate breakfast, 

 which took time to prepare and dispose of. the wind dropped some- 

 what and the canoes were launched for a little sailing. 



The tide was low, but ' ising, and the canoes often ran aground 

 and had to be pushed off the flats. Stevens's canoe Kismet draws 

 about lOin. of water ann therefore he had more trouble than the re^t 

 At one time his keel touched and he luffed up, and toeing within lOft. 

 of the shore stepped overboard to wade in. Imagine his surprise 

 and the mirth of those who were watching him when he did not find 

 bottom with his feet, but lost his balance and plunged in head over 

 ears. He happened to bit upon a deep hole and was unmercifully 

 laughed at for his misplaced confidence. 



The boy of the party— Schieft'elin—kept the others in constant fear 

 of their lives wbfle he celel5rated theFourth in the true old-fashioned 

 way, firing giant crackers near the tents and canoe sails. Then he 

 shot at a mark with a long-barreled revolver, the muzzle of which 

 had a bad habit of raking the entire camn from time to time. Peace 

 of mind was not restored till his last shell had been exploled. Part 

 of his kit consisted of two heavy, long, sharp, bo wie knives. These 

 he did not carry about with him but dropped on the sand, innocent 

 of sheath, wherever it happened to suit his convenience. A.S the fel- 

 lows were walking about with feet bare, there was constant danger 

 of stepping on these villainously murderous weapons. As luck wouid 

 have it he only succeeded in cutting himself in the hand. The single 

 serious wound of the entire three days w'as inflicted by a mild and 

 usually harmless tent peg which came in contact with a bare toe 

 moving at a high rate of speed along the beach in order to enable lis 

 owner to see the sunset. 



Smythe remarked Monday morning when some one called his at- 

 tention to his gloriously sunburnt face, that if he expected to keep 

 his present sKin he would have to rivet it on. 



After dinner tents were struck, the canoes and yawl— which came 

 off from the sloop— launched and loaded, and the voyage to the 

 transport began. By 8:30 all was on board and a start for home was 

 made. The wind had died away almost entirely, and the Grover 

 only drifted "as idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean." 



Supper was served on board, and by 8 o'clock the sloop was within 

 half a mile of Norton's Point. Then the wind died out entirely, or 

 came in puffs from any and all directions, and a strung ebb tide set 

 the vessel out toward the open sea. Four hours of drjftin.ii ensued, 

 beguUed by song and story, and then a gentle puff carried tiie Grover 

 aroimd the Point into Gravesend Bay and out of the tide. The 

 anchor was dropped off the pier at lS:30'.and by 1 A. M. the canoes, 

 camping things and men were all in the club house and the cruise 

 was over. 



The present indications are tbat the cruising fever has set in, and 

 if the readers of the foRBST ajjd Stream never hear of a New York 

 man racing again they will know the reason

Corinthian Y. C. 4th Annual Sweepstakes, Aug. 22. 



newpobt, r, t. 



The Corinthian Y. C, of New York, has this year shared tbe luck 

 of nearly all clubs in the way of small entry lists, the fleet of eight 

 or ten starters in its former sweepstake races having shriirken to 

 three The race, too, has been less exciting than usual from the fact 

 that the pnsirions of the three yachts composing the present 46ft. 

 elates had already been finally settled by ihe races of the New York 

 Y, C, cruise, at least so far as first place is concerned, 



In the three previous years it has so happened that there have 

 been qufsiious of supremacy undecided by the earlier racine-, and 

 the Corinthian sweeps'akes, with its fair and neufral course, and 

 with every yacht specially overhauled for it. has been accfpted as 

 the final test. This year the concluding racfs of the cruise at Mar- 

 blehead left no room for question as to Wasp's superiority over 

 both Oloriana and Harpoon, the only important issue ► eing between 

 the latter two for second place, and even this question excited com- 

 paratively little interest after the heated discussions of la^t year, 

 owing to the important changes in the yacht«, owners and skippers. 



There is httle doubt that Harpoon i« a dpci'lpd improvement over 

 last year's BtJatrice, but it is a more difficult matter to gauge 

 Gloriana's present performance with that of 1891, and in the present 

 race this difficulty was increased by tbe fact tbat her trim bad been 

 changed by the removal of some l,5001bs. of lead from her ke^l. to 

 compensate in part for the added immersion caused by over a year's 

 soaking of the bull. 



The racft was much the same in all its conditions as in the other 

 three years, being siUed over the same triangular course. 25 nauti- 

 cal mites, and in a moderate S.W. wind, there being, however, but 

 one prize, the $.300 sweepstakes with a sum added by the club. The 

 course was off Newport, starting and fluishiag off the Brenton's 

 Reef Lightship, the first leg. 8% miles, being in tbe direction of Point 

 .Judith. Tbe starters were: 



Owner. Designer. HelrasmBn. 



Wasp ...Archibald Rogers — N G Herreshoff . ..Gapt. Cnas. Barr 



Gloriana Dr. W. B. Hopkins.. .N. G. Ilerresboff . ..Capt. John Barr. 



Harpoon.. Messrs. Adams Edward Burgess.. Ch^is. F.Adams. 



The wind was lisht from tbe north earlj' in the dav. finally settling 

 in the 8.W., and when the regatta committee, Messrs. E. H. Clarke, 

 Chas. Stewart Davidson and W H. Plummer. with Mr. George A. 

 Cormack, reached the start on the steam yacht Sapphire, thty set 

 the signals for the usual coui'se, the first lea: S.S W. 



There was a ten minute preparatorf interval after the first signal, 

 at 12:26, and three minutes in which to cross after the starting 

 whistle, at 12:35 All three swung elub'opsails. Wasp alone carrying 

 a baby jibtopsail. On board Wasp was Mr. Rogers and Mr. Heres- 

 hoft"; on board Gloriana were Me.ssrs. Royal Phelps Carroll and Hugh 

 Norman, and on board Harpoon were Messrs. Sharp and Sigourney 

 Butler with her owners. 



Wasp was close by the line and went over within JSs., Gloriara 

 being 43s. later. Harpoon laid back and waited almost the full 

 limit, being timed at 12:47:42. All crossing on the starboard tack, 

 they stood off sh'^re for about a mile, when Wasp tacked, followed 

 by Harpoon, and headed in for Narraganseit, leaving Gloriana to 

 stand on some distance further before t>. eking aft<--r them. The wind 

 was very light at the start, but increase'-l gradually. W^asp leaving 

 Harpoon all the time. When Gloriana and Harpcon met, after the 

 former's long tack nff shore, which happened as the two werenf aring 

 Point Judith, Harpoon had the starboard tack and Gloriana was 

 forced to bear away a little, Harpoon having thus gained -im. on her.
