The advance cop3' of the Year Book of the American Oanoe Associ- 

 ation, which we have just reeeiveil from i\[r. li. Easton Burns, the 

 sec'y-ti'eas., compares very favoral>Iy with past issues, and reflects 

 great credit on Com. Cotton and Mr. iSurns, who £ve responsible for 

 its production. In addition to the rules, Usts of members and canoes, 

 summary of races and the reports of the various officers and com- 

 mittees tor the past year; it contains portraits of Com. Cotton, Seo'y- 

 Treas. Burns and ISx-Com. Winne. Maps of the camp are given, and 

 a good railroad map showing the various routes to the St. Lawrence. 

 Several songs with music, and two canoeinff poems by Miss E. Pauline 

 Johusou and Miss Annie Rotbwell add to the interestof the hook. The

 Site. 



Once again will the Annual Meet of the A. C. A. return to the famed 

 St. Lawrence River, and the locality selected for the camp is Brophy's 

 Point, five niile.s below Kingston, Tliis ground is now known as Long 

 Island Park, so tuuned afler the island, of which it forms a prominent 

 feature. 



There is a good wbai-f and d,-ep water suitable for large steamers, 

 so that canoes and bag.t,'age ean be landed easily and safely. 



The poiid is eo\ ered with hardwood trees, and the spot selected for 

 the eamp has been well underbrushed. 



The iieach is ot sueli a nature that canoe stages can he easily con- 

 structed, ami the bathing is excellent. 



A glaiiee at the map w ill show the large extent of this ground, and 

 as it has all been leased liy the .A.. 0, X., members not desiring to join 

 the general camp are at liberty to .select theh own sites subject to the 

 approval of the eamp site committee. 



Squaw Point is s|ilendidly situated at a convenient distance from 

 the general camp on rising ground, with hardwood trees and good 

 turf. This camp wiU also have a good canoe beach. 



Mess. 



Arrangements have been made for the general mess, and no paius 

 be spared to make this first class in every respect. There is a 

 good dining pavilion, well roofed in, insuring comfort during bad 

 u eaiher, Ice wiU be sujiplied at lowcost. 



Camp Store. 



Mr. Bropliy will conduct a camp store on the around, which will be

Kingston, May 19. 



Kingston, May W.— Editor Forest and Stream: I wish to say a few 

 words regarding the A. 0 A. year book, just issued, to apologize for 

 its being a little late in production, due in some measure to its being 

 printed in (comparatively) an out of the way place, and perhaps in a 

 lai-ger degree to the inexpei-ience of the editor. We have tried to 

 make the book as accurate as possible, but in spite of careful proof- 

 reading a few errors wiU creep in, and I can only ask those members 

 who are affected therebj^ to remember that '"To err is human, to for- 

 give divine." The cost of the year book to the Association has been 

 almost met by the advertisements it contains, and the attention of 

 members is drawn to these advertisements, m the hope that they wiU 

 endeavor to patronize those firms who have contributed ads. 



The two poems were written especially for this book.

The interest displayed during the past winter by the members has 

 been fruitful to the club. The membership has been iucreased and 

 the financial condition is better than at any previous time in its his- 

 tory. 



The season's sports will be inaugurated on Saturday, June 3, on 

 the Delaware River in front of the club house at Wissinoraing on the 

 New York division, P. R. R., where the spring regatta will take place. 

 The committee have concluded upon three events, viz. : the saUing. 

 single and tandem paddling races. Great interest has been manifested 

 in the coming event. Many of the old canoes have been renovated 

 and changes made to improve their sailing qualities. Messrs, H. Mc- 

 Cormickand Fmamore have new Sharpie canoes, differing materially 

 in design from any Sharpie canoes heretofore sailed, with which they 

 intend carrying otr the prizes Apropos of new boats, Mr. Hamilton 

 is having a 16x30 canoe built by the St. Lawrence Co, \vlnch may 

 reach here before the races; Mr. Fleischman h is a new decked pad- 

 dling canoe, Mr. Scott a new canoe yawl 15x i2, A. taeisehman an 

 18ft. cruiser. The two gentlemen last named will cruise in Chesapeake 

 Bay the coming summer. All the abovi; boats are the design of H 

 McCormick, who is gaining quite a reputation, as aU crafts designed 

 by him have fully met their owners' expectations as fast sailers. 



Invitations to be extended to all canoe clubs in our vicinitj' and any 

 canoeists desiring to enter any of the events will please sejid their 

 name to M. D. Wdt, 1427 North Fifteenth street, Philadelphia. A. C. A. 

 rules will govern the races. e. O. G. 



Mahn-a-Wauks. 



Milwaukee, May 20.— The canoeing season was auspiciously inaugu- 

 rated to-day by the IMahn-a Wauk Canoe Club. A fair breeze prevailed 

 and the fastest canoes in the fleet were out. Huntington's Canuck 

 No. 2. buUt by Sauve; Hansen's fin-keel Avis, winner of the W C A 

 trophy last year, and Electra, buUt for A. W. Friese, commandtid the 

 greatest attention. In all the trials Friese was an easy winner 



The Mahn-a-Wauk's regatta committee have prepared an interesting 

 programme of races which wiU give members of the club a fine season's 

 sport. The opening day wUl be May 30. In the morning there will be 

 a paddling and saihng race and in the alternoon two more sailing 

 events, one a maneuvering race. On July 4 the programme wUl be i he 

 same as on Memorial Day, except that a man-overboard-race will take 

 the place of the maneuvering race. The races on Saturday afternoons 

 will be started promptly at 4 o'clock. This year the club will try a 

 novelty in canoe sailing and paddling, by handicapping all events 

 The opinion prevads that prettier and more exciting finishes will be 

 made in this way. a. W. Friese.

CANOE NEWS NOTES. 



The annual club book of the Humber Yawl Club, is specially good 

 this year, the lUustrations being exceUent. 



We have received from 3Ir. J, H. Rushton his new catalogue for 

 1893, entitled "The World's Columbian Exposition Edition." Mr Rush- 

 ton has a very fine exhibit at Columns 31 and 33, E. Transportation 

 Emldmg. The catologue contains fufl descriptions and illustrations 

 of the very large Ime of boats and canoes made by him. 



The racing yachts about the Solent this past week had a breezy 

 time of it, and the new 40-raters Lais and Vendetta have had a fine 

 time canvas-stretching. Varuna also has been under way. The small 

 class racing was somewhat interfered with by the strong wind, but the 

 winning crews wei-e dehghted. The bandbox style of construction 

 was severely tried, and, in one or two cases, with something very like 

 collapsing sides. We hope a lesson has been learned, and that the 

 craze for gaming a trifle out of a pound or two reduction in ,veight 

 will be modified in consequence.— J'ieJd, 



The Alterations to Navahoe. 



On Monday of last week, after several delays and postponements, 

 Navahoe was docked on the large dry dock of the Providence Dry Dock 

 Company, at East Providence, for the alteration to her ballast. The 

 work was intrusted to the firm of Thos. Phillips & Co., of Providence, 

 engineers, machine builders and fotuide.rs, and much of it was done in 

 the shops before the yacht was docked. The requisite amoimt of lead, 

 some 20 tons, was cast in twelve pieces of varying width, each about 

 4ft. long, the heaviest weighing over three tons. The middle pieces 

 were 3ft. 3in. wide on top, lOV.^ to llin. deep, and of semi-elliptical 

 cross section. Where the gai~board8 come down to the keel plate on 

 each side is an open angle^ and to fill this and make a smooth sm-face 

 a projecting lip about J^in, wide and deep w-as cast along the upper 

 edges of each piece. After the piece was bolted in place this lip was 

 turned up with a heavy hammer and driven into the angle between 

 the plates, the surplus lead being afterward planed off. 



After the lead pieces were cast the holes for the bolts were carefully 

 marked from templets made from the boat and showing all floors 

 and angles. The pieces were then turned over and counterbored for 

 the bolt-heads with a special cutter made at the works, together with 

 a number of other special tools. Two small vertical engines were 

 taken over to the dock, one as a reserve in ease of accident, tbe other 

 being set up beside the yacht on the floor of the dock. A countershaft 

 and tightening pulley was rigged on the side of the dock, and a cotton 

 rope rove off to drive a flexible shaft, which in turn operated a 

 portable drUl. 



Each block was fitted on special skids and rolled on to the dock and 

 under the yacht, then large screws and hydraulic jacks were used to 

 lift and hold it in place. When finally adjusted, with red lead putty 

 between the keel and lead, the drill' was set to work and the holes, 

 eight in each of the Itirgest blocks, were driUed through the keel plate 

 and up into the Inside lead. A reamer and tap followed the drUl, tbe 

 couuterbore was inserted, and then the bolt, of lin. Tobm bronze, was 

 set up with a box wrench. After the bolt was in a short cyluider of 

 lead about 2J^m. diameter, made to flt the couuterbore, was driven in 

 with a sledge and finaUy smoothed off' level with the bottom of 

 the keel. 



The work was carried on by a large number of men under the super- 

 intendence of Mr. George R. Phfllips, the head of the firm, but much 

 of it was slow and tedious in spite of all preparation. Holes were 

 drUled, reamed and tapped for 73 bolts. 



When finished the job presented an excellent appearance, the keel 

 was fair and smooth from end to end, the new lead neatly joined to 

 the steel bottom, the under side of the keel being a semi-ellipse instead 

 of a flat surface. 



The worst part of the work was the removal of the same weight of 

 lead from the inside of the huU, a very slow and difficult task. The 

 lead was practically cast solid, a couple of layers of pigs being laid in 

 and molten lead poured over them to fuse them together, after which 

 a couple of new layers were laid and treated in the same way. In re- 

 moving this lead it was necessary to chip it out in smaU pieces with a 

 hammer and chisel, a very slow proceeding. 



While on the dock the bottom of the yacht was painted with com- 

 mon brown metallic paint and then with an English anti-fouhng com - 

 position of light color. Mr. Carroll was present every day, coming up 

 on the first train from Newport and returning at night. The work was 

 not completed until ^Monday. The yacht is now ^.ready for her trip 

 across, and wfll probably leave Newport within the next ten days. 



YACHT NEWS NOTES. 



Messrs. Seabury & Co. have been very busy at their shops at Nyaek. 

 The 30tt. steam launch Alva, Mr. W. K. Vanderbilt, owner, has been 

 transferred from Newport to Nyack, where she is being got ready for 

 this season's work. She will be crated for shipment abroad, to go via 

 steamer Taurlc of the White Star Line, to Laird Bros., Birkenhead, 

 Eng., and wiU be used as tender on Mr. Vauderbilt's new steam yacht 

 Valiant. This is the launch that was carried on the davits of the 

 Alva, and transferred the crew of the Alva to the Dimock at the time 

 of the coHission, and towed the Ufeboats from that point to Newport, 

 distance about eighty-flve miles through the ocean. In the regatta at 

 Nice during March, 1892, this launch beat the Baron de Rothschild's 

 launch Eros. The steam launch D. & H., designed and built by the 

 firm for the Delaware & Hudson Canal Co., was launched on May 22 

 She is 35ft. long, 6ft. 9in. beam, and 2ft. draft. This boat is of special 

 design for canal service. She is light draft, and the stern is so ar- 

 ranged so as to prevent the boat causing waves while she is running 

 The forward part of the launch is fitted as a cabin and office for the 

 paymaster, with w.c. and wash room in after cabin. There is a roomy 

 cockpit aft, covered w ith a canopy top roof. The machinery consists 

 of a Seabury fore and aft comijound engine, and a Seabury patent 

 safety water tube boiler. The speed of the launch is 9 mUes per hour, 

 and she is not requu-ed to run any faster. She is to be used by the 

 Superintendent and Paymaster of the D. & H. Canal Co., and is speci- 

 aUy adapted for this purpose. The steam yacht Charlotte, belonging 

 to IVIr. W. J. Riker, N. Y^. Y. C. has gone into commission. Thesteam. 

 yacht Espadon, owned by Mr. F. DeCoppett, was also put in commis- 

 sion at the yards a few days ago. She wiU be used in vicinity of New 

 Brunswick, N. J. 



At Clay & Torbensen's yards, Gloucester, N. J,, the following work 

 is in hand: Folly, the 27-footer of Mr. E. H. Austin's, is now being 

 overhauled and having a new spray board put on. The 25ft. steam 

 sounding launch Nefl, for the use of the Government engineers at 

 Cincinnati, was launched last week; she is a beautiful boat in every re- 

 spect, and well maintams the high standard of work set by this firm. 

 Mr. James R. Hopkins's yacht Whiff" is now in the water;" she is over 

 ah 41ft. 3in., 35ft l.w.l., 8ft. beam, fitted with compound engine of the 

 double-acting fore and aft type and water tube boiler; she will make 

 about 12 mUes an hour. The new 27ft. open steam launch for Mr. R. 

 A. Shattuck is stUl on the stocks. She wfll spend the summer at Bar 

 Harbor. She wfll have a six horse-power double-acting fore and aft 

 compound engine and an oil burning bofler of the sectional safety 

 water tube type. The 53ft. steam yacht for Mr. F. C. Fowler, designed 

 by the firm, is now nearly completed and wiU probably be launched 

 this week. 



The schooner Alert has just been seized by R. M. Olcott, in a suit 

 against her owner, John N. Liming to recover S53,878.38. The suit has 

 brought to light the fact that Mr. Liming, who lately returned from 

 Europe, has married since his retm-n, and as alleged has conveyed his 

 property in New York State to his wife. 



It appears that the plans for a yacht harbor at the World's Pair 

 have been abandoned. Marshall D. Wilder, who was prominent in 

 advocating the establishment of such a refuge, calls on the i'air 

 officials to cancel the broadcast invitations sent out to yachtsmen 

 He says that should they come and a southwest gale blow up, a 



dozen or more of the boats would inevitably be smashed or sunk.
