tents and baggage from the dock to the camp and back, while it was 
quite a short trip by canoe from the dock to Squaw Point. 
The meet would unquestionably have been far pleasanter had the 
weather been cooler, but as the entire country up and down the river 
Was suff errae at the same time, this is nothing against the camp site; 
Opinions differed among those who went to business in New York 
every day as to which was the warmer, the city or the camp; but at 
the fatter there was the best of bathing, plenty of shade, and often a 
Cooi breeze. The Point being high and wooded, the up-river breeze 
did not always strike the Camp, but on the whole the campers were 
quite as comfortable as they would have been at home. While there 
•were no refreshing showers, on the other hand the usual violent 
squall, and the wet weather such as has marred the Lake Champlain 
camps, was entirely missing. The ground heing high and rolling 
would have answered well in wet weather, and the sand would have 
absorbed a week's rain without turning into a bog. As it was, with a 
hot sun overhead and no rain for days, the dry sand became very 
hard to walk in. and the paths up the hills, covered with dry and 
slippery grass, were like toboggan slides. As there was more or less 
hill climbing to be done at all timeB, the camp was probably harder on 
the feet than any previous one. 
To turn to the advantages, the view from all points was a fine one, 
with the river and the mountains on every hand, and the camp itself 
was most picturesque. There was no lack of shade, mostly old apple 
trees, Squaw PoiDt in particular being located in an orchard, on 
ground sloping prettily to the river. On the back of the Point was a 
Vineyard, the grape3 being not yet. ripe. 
Headquarters Was well located, on a high bluff, the tents being a 
little back, while out over the Water was a field piece for saluting, and 
two flag poles' for the code signals. The beach was of fine sand, hard 
and clean, with few stones or pebbles, and canoes were easily beached. 
There were no floats or skids, and wet feet were sometimes necessary 
in launching, but in such weather this made little difference. There 
were several wells of good water on the ground, and a water cart went 
round every day with water for the club messes at a distance from 
the wells. 
The racing course was within easy view of the whole camp, and the 
bluff in front of headquarters was the favorite rendezvous while the 
races were on, though a good view could be had from any point along 
the beach. The winds were light during the meet, the races being 
sailed mostly on smooth water. There was same tide, a rise and fall 
of about 8ft., but it did not trouble the racers. 
The transportation was the best yet provided at an A. 0 A. camp, 
but 2M miles to Sing Sing, at which the steamer from New York also 
landed, while the station of the New York Central R. E. was but 
100yds. distant. A small screw steamer which runs between Sing Sing, 
Haverstraw and Rockland made regular trips to the camp, carrying 
passengers for 15 cents, and connecting with many trains. Quite a 
number of canoeists went from camp to New York every day, rowing 
across early in the morning to Sing Sing and returning on the last 
trip of the steamer, meeting the train which reached Sing Sing at 
6 P. M. Altogether the arrangements both for men and baggage were 
most satisfactory. 
The mess question was settled to the satisfaction of every one, as, 
in spite of the notice to the contrary, a general mesB was finally ar- 
ranged, giving very fair meals for $1 per day. In the meanwhile, 
however, a number of large club messes had been arranged by the 
Knickerbocker, Ianthe and other clubs, each in charge of a cook and a 
helper, providing excellent meals at the same cost or a little more. 
Meat, groceries and ice were to be had on the grounds, and many 
came prepared to cook for themselves. Whether or not the decision 
of the executive committee to abandon the general mess was a wise 
one, a very good result followed in inducing men to come to the meet 
prepared to camp out; and it was a pleasing sight to see the many 
rough fireplaces built of broken brick, throughout both the main and 
ladies' camps. 
In point ot numbers, the attendance was only about the average, 
and under what was to be expected so near New York and in the 
most convenient camp yet held for the Eastern as well as the Atlantic 
Division. There were 240 names on the camp register, and probably 
some who forgot to register and go through the accompanying 
formality. One of the pleasantest sights in camp to an old A. 0. A. 
man was that of a couple ot small tents and a rough table just on the 
border of the main camp where were located Mr. Nate Smith, of New- 
burgh and his chum. Mr. Van Dalfsen. These two gentlemen, so well 
known some years since, have not been seen of late, and their return 
gave a homelike and familiar look which was further heightened by 
the Peterboro canoe Verena on the beach nearby, with her owner, 
Mr. E, B. Edwards, as usual, whittling a paddle out of a piece of red 
cedar. A little further alorg was the Deowainsta tent, occupied only 
by Mr. Huntington, though Mr. Stryker and one or two more Rome 
men were in camp for a short time. 
Half way up the side of the bluff was a tent hung on to the hillside, 
in which was another old A. C. A. man, French of Buffalo, absent 
since 1890, with him being Mr. Stewart, also of Buffalo. Among the 
few men from the Northern Division were Sparrow, still sailing the 
Eel, ex-Secretary Burns, Archbald, and Mr. O'Brien, the paddler, as 
well as Herbert Tilley. 
The Red Dragon C. C. sent a good delegation. The Knickerbocker C. 
0. had, as stated, a large club mess and a number of members in 
Camp. Vice-Corn Witherbee and Purser Cragge had several tents in 
Squaw Point, and the Ianthe and Arlington clubs were well repre- 
sented. 
The most, striking illustration of the change we have mentioned was 
the absence of the Vesper camp, always an institution in itself since 
1885, and the presence in camp of Mr. Butler for a few hours only. 
The Vesper shop and the Vesper fleet were sadly missed, to say 
nothing of Butler, Gage, Goddard, Gray and the old Vesper men. Mr. 
Barney was in camp for several days, staying at the farmhouse at 
night. Mr. Butler, as stated, only spent a few hours in camp. Mr. 
Foster, who did such good work on the camp site committee at Lake 
George in 1888, spent one day in camp. Mr. Gibson is cruising in his 
naphtha launch on Lake Champlain. Mr. Whitlock is on a canoe 
cruise in Norway in company with Mr Sutherland Smith, an old New 
York C. C. man. Gen. Oliver is in Canada. Dr. Pirmele did not re- 
port at all. Ford Jones is practising law out by the Rocky Mountains. 
Oxholm spent part of the time in camp, going down to business be- 
tween the races. Cartwright, Robertson, Lawson. Parmele and the 
other prominent Eastern men were absent, with the exception of 
Appollonio. Ex-Oom. Winne was in camp for some time, but the 
Mohican delegation was quite small. 
If this meet had been arranged especially for the convenience of the 
J Trusty Holdens of the A. C. A. it could not have been better placed; 
but they (and they are a large party) were not there. The round trip 
from New York to the camp and return cost but $1.30, and a man 
could leave the city in the morning and be in camp before he had read 
the morning paper through, getting back to the city by 7 P.M. Such 
an opportunity never before presented itself to the man who is de- 
terred by time and distance from visiting an A. C. A. meet, and who 
writes during the winter to know what he could get for his dollar if he 
really attended one. Sad to say, the attendance from the vicinity of 
New York was disappointing, both on the part of old and new men; in 
fact a meet of about the same size, with from 220 to 250 in camp, can 
be held at any fairly good spot not over 500 miles from New York, and 
the number is hardly greater when the distance is decreased to but 30 
miles. 
The Canoes. 
The entry list gives the names of the racing men and also of the 
canoes, the latter requiring little notice. Mab, Mr. Archbald's canoe, 
has been seen at two previous meets, and is only changed in the addi- 
tion of a 7ft, slide to the deck seat and a stronger and heavier thwart- 
sbip tiller. With her was a new Gilbert canoe, Claire, a handsome 
boat of the same model. The only canoes calliug for special notice 
were the two bilge-board boats Chiquita and Foggy Dew, the former 
designed by Mr. D, S. Goodsell and built by Stevens, of Lowell, the 
latter designed and buiit by Capt, Rugbies, who, by the way, was on 
hand through the meet. These are able and powerful cruising boats, 
of good model, fitted wilh long slides and carrying some 160 feet of 
sail at times; but each is so fitted that the hatches and canvas bucket 
may be quickly removed, leaving room for sleeping. In match sailing 
they are hardly to be compared with a pure racer like Mab, but Mr. 
Oxholm sailed Chiquita in all of the races in order to test the type 
and to demonstrate how little is really gained in speed bv the bucket 
well machine; and this he succeeded in doing. Capt. Ruggles had 
several handsome canoes, Zaidee, Massawippa, Bullywagga and Gull, 
but with nothing specially new about them. The rigs were those so 
long seen only the Vesper being absent. 
The location was most favorable for the attendance of small cruisers 
and unclassified craft, but few were present. Mr. Bennett had La 
Gloria, and Scarecrow came up in anticipation of a special race, 
which for some reason fell through. Mr. Wheeler, of Albany, had a 
second Scarecrow model. There was also a handsome little yawl, 
Tadpole, designed by Mr. McCormick, of Red Dragon O. 0., an ama- 
teur, who also designed the canoe Fineen, a very good boat. Messrs. 
Smith and Van Dalfsen had each a trim little cruiser, with square 
stern and well fitted up. There were also half a dozen yachts, one 
from the Ianthe 0. C, one from Arlington and one from Trenton; but 
the attendance of small cruisers and larger yachts was anything but 
what it should have been on the Hudson near New York. 
The races themselves require no special notice, the entries being 
few and the contests lacking the old=time excitement, even the sailing 
trophy being uninteresting. The paddling trophy was won very easily, 
but the winner was hardly in camp at all, staying over night at the 
farmhouse and leaving on the first boat after the finish of the race. 
In some cases men came up from the city, ran over to camp for one 
race, and returned as soon as it was finished, 
We made a suggestion last year that a clause should be inserted ha 
the;racing rules to the effect that any programme race in which less 
than" three entries shall present themselves shall b«i declared off; and 
the present year has demonstrated the necessity of such a rule. Not- 
only was the regatta committee compelled to walk the beach before 
a race and beg men to enter, but the resulting competition, m over 
half a dozen races, was but a farce. It is unfair to impose such extra 
work on a committee, and it is absurd to give prizes, as is being done 
of late years, for races in which there is no competition, or at least 
only a nominal amount. This year the club four race was a purely 
local affair, and other races were lacking in interest through the small 
number of competitors. Two races on the programme were en- 
tirely abandoned, after the committee had begged in vain for entries, 
the passenger sailing and war canoe; but. so good a race as that for 
ontc'assed canoes, such as Mr. J. Trusty Holden's. was a mere farce, 
with two entries. The whole story of the racing is told in the follow- 
ing tables. One of the most notable incidents nf the racing was the 
return of an old racing man, Mr. L. B. Palmer, for several years prac- 
tically out of racing, who won the record as well as other races, in his 
old canoe Cricket.
