[Aug. 4, 1884. 
worth considering in selecting future camp sites. Mr. Wakemau 
cruised from Bridgeport to the camp, and other men cruised to camp 
with tent and duffle in their canoes, cooking all the time in true camp 
style. 
Once in camp, there was fine water for day trips and short cruises, 
but very few were made. 
Business. 
The annual meetings of the four divisions were held in camp, there 
was also held a meeting of the executive committee for the election of 
the commodore and secretary-treasurer, a meeting of the new board 
of governors for organization and the so-called general meeting. At 
the meeting of the Atlantic Division on July 21 the following officers 
were elected: Vice-Coin., H. L. Quick, Yonkers C. O; Rear-Corn., J. 
E. Murray, Red Dragon C C. ; Purser, Thos, Hale. Jr., Tonkers C. C. ; 
Executive Committee, I V. Dorland, H. H. Smythe and J. K. Hand; 
Member of Board of Governora R. J. Wilkin, Brooklyn C. C. 
On July 25 the Northern Division elected the following officers: 
Vice-riom., Wm.L Scott. Ottawa CO.; Rear-Cora., J. W. Sparrow. 
Toronto C. C; Executive Committe, C. E. Archbald, Pointe Claire B. 
O, Montreal, and A. H. O'Brien, Argonaut C. C, Toronto; Member of 
Board of Governors, E. B. E wards. 
The Eastern Division on July 23 elected the following officers: Vice- 
Corn., Raymond Appolonio, Shuh Shuh Gar C. C, Winchester, Mass.; 
Rear-Corn., Robert Wakeman, Owanux 0. A., Bridgeport, Conn. ; Pur- 
ser, Louis F. Cutter, Shuh Shuh Gar C. C, Winchester, Mass.; Execu- 
tive Committee, Dr. George R. Parmele, Hartford O. C, and Howard 
Frost, TatassitC. C Worcester, Mass; Member of Board of Govern- 
ors, Paul Butler, Vesper B. C, Lowell, Mass. 
The meeting decided that the Eastern Division was not in a position 
to warrant, it in taking the commodoreship and meet, which go to it 
by turn, and offered a formal waiver of both with a wish that the ex- 
ecutive committee might select Vice-Corn. Witherbee for the chief 
office of the Association. The meeting of the Central Division was 
held on Wednesday night, the present vice-commodore and purser 
being re-elected. 
The meeting of the executive committee was held on the same even- 
ing, during the session of the Central Division. Some detail business 
was attended to, including votes of thanks to Mr. John Cockroft, the 
owner of the land on which the meet was held, who has been most kind 
and obliging from the first; to the Sing Sing Y. C. for the silver cup 
presented by it, as well as for other courtesies, and to the Yonkers C. 
C. for the Dolphin trophy, presented under the conditions given last 
week. After the meeting of the Central Division was concluded, the 
name of Mr. W. R. Huntington was presented for Commodore of the 
Association, but as he positively declined to accept the office, Vice- 
Corn. Witherbee was nominated. He also declined to serve, and a long 
discussion followed, Mr Huntington being again requested to take the 
office, but refusing. After some further persuasion Mr. Witherbee 
waselected. in spite of his objection, and Purser Cragere was elected 
secretary-treasurer. This made two vacant offices in the Central 
Division, which were filled by holding another meeting and electing 
Vice-Corn., Charles G. Belman, Amsterdam C. C; Rear-Corn., H. D. 
McVean, Rochester C. C; Purser, W. S. Hackett, Mohican, C. C, 
Albany, N. Y. ; Executive Committee, Officers Nate S. Smith, Newburgh 
Boating and Canoeing Association, and William R. Huntington Deo- 
wainsta, C. C, Member of Board of Governors, Charles V. Winne, 
Mohican C. C, Albany, N. Y. 
The so-called "general meeting" of the Association was called to 
order quite late in the evening after the other meetings were over, 
most of those in camp being gathered around the camp-fire. The 
races not being over, the principal function, the presentation of 
prizes, was deferred, and several votes of thanks were tendered to 
Mr. Cockroft and other parties. Com. Dorland called for a report 
from the committee appointed at the November meeting to consider 
the question of future camp sites for the Association. Messrs. Oliver, 
Edwards, Gray, MacKendrick, Seavey, Peebles, Huntington, Parmele 
and Stephens. The chairman, Mr. Stephens, reported that the com- 
mittee had been unable to meet personally, the members residing in 
distant places, and that much difficulty had been experienced in carry- 
ing on a discussion of the question by correspondence, suggesting 
that as a majority of the committee was then in camp, it would be 
possible to discuss the matter at length, and draft a report, to be sub- 
mitted to the absent members and laid before the executive committee 
at the November meeting. Mr. Wilkin made a lengthy and eloquent 
speech in which he denounced the appointment of the committee as 
an attempt to force the Association to adopt one permanent camp 
site, and finally made a motion that the committee be immediately 
discharged. Mr. Stephens opposed the motion, without arguing any 
of the many points made by the other s>ide, on the point of order that 
the so-called general meeting was purely an informal gathering of the 
persons in camp, with no power to vote on any question, or to dis- 
charge the committee. Com. Dorland sustained the poiut of order, 
and Mr. Wilkin again addressed the meeting at length, finally offering 
another motion, that it was the sense of the meeting that the executive 
committee be requested to discharge the committee as soon as pos- 
sible. An aye and nay vote was first taken, but in the darkness it was 
impossible to see who voted. A rising vote was then called for, and a 
majority arose in favor of Mr. Wilkin's motion, but a point of order 
was raised by Mr. Masten as to whether only qualified members of the 
Association had voted. Again a rising vote was called for, and Secre- 
tary Douglas made the count with the aid of a lantern dimly burning, 
the result being about two-thirds in favor of the motion. Mr. Burns 
then offered a motion requesting the executive committee to consider 
such a change of the constitution as should make it possible for the 
members in camp at the meets to vote on matters relating to the man- 
agement of the Association. The motion was seconded but lost, after 
which the meeting adjourned. 
On Tuesday morning a meeting of the new board of governors was 
held for organization. Com. Dorland presiding, and Messrs. Wilkin, 
Edwards, Butler and Winne being present. As it is provided that the 
term of office shall be four years, one member retiring each year, it 
was necessary to settle the lengths of term of each new member, and 
Mr. Wilkin drew the four-year term, Mr. Butler the three-year, Mr. 
Winne the two and Mr. Edwards the one-year term. Mr. Wilkin was 
elected president and Mr. Winne recorder. 
On Thursday a meeting of the committee on future camp sites was 
held, at which it was resolved that, in view of Mr. Wilkin's motion, 
the committee request of the executive committee that it be at once 
discharged, and Com. Dorland was accordingly notified. A meeting 
of the executive committee was called on Friday morning, but as no 
quorum responded no action was taken. 
The amusements of the camp offered nothing out of the common; 
the usual camp-fires were held, the ladies being invited to many of 
them; but the special attractions of some former years were very 
wisely omitted, as they had reached a point in the elaborate tableaux 
and pyrotechnic display Of 1892 where they encroached on the domain 
of the roof garden rather than a camp in the woods by the disciples 
of "Bob Roy," "Nessmuk" and "Seneca." By way of diversion, how- 
ever, and to enliven the Knickerbocker camp fire, which was one of 
the pleasantest of the meet, Mr Seavey sent up five huge stage birds, 
made of wire, canvas and papier mache, covered with palm leaves to 
represent feathers. These huge creatures were first introduced to the 
camp at sundown, each towed on a float, then they indulged in a 
dance on the beach, and later they appeared at the camp-fire on the 
steep hill in front of the Knickerbocker camp. The club had im- 
ported from New York a "coon band." as nearly as possible like that 
at Jessup's Neck, which regaled the assembly with "Watermelon 
Growing on de Vine" and other ditties, after which three of the im- 
mense birds made their entry from the darkness and engaged in a 
dance, the band singing "Dere's a Lock on de Chicken Coop Door " A 
very nice spread was provided and the evening passed vt-ry pleasantly. 
The camp-fire was dispersed by 1 1 P, M. by two or three drops of rain, 
after which all adjourned to headquarters, where the prizes were dis- 
tributed. 
This year there was no "Visitor's Day," nor was there any trouble 
from strangers in camp during the meet. Though so near to Sing 
Sing and also to New York, there were fewer strangers than in more 
isolated locations, and no parties or excursions, such as might be ex- 
pected, attempted to land. On Friday nieht a band from Sing Sing 
visited the camp and played at the camp-fire. In the matter of social 
life the camp was a pleasant and congenial one, especially when the 
large proportion of new aDd comparatively strange members is taken 
into account. 
The Wawbewawa War Canoe Racing Association. 
Some of the active canoeists in the vicinity of Boston have recently 
organized the Wawbewawa War Canoe Racing Association, and it is 
their desire to awaken an interest in canoe events of this kind. They 
have already made application for membership in the New England 
Amateur Rowing Association, and there is no doubt but that they 
will enter at least one crew in the races to be held on the Charles 
River on Labor Day. The Springfield C. C. has just been admitted to 
the Association, and the Tatassit Club of Worcester has been a mem- 
ber for several years. It is possible that the Arlington Boat Club may 
also enter a crew. Altogether the prospects for an interesting race 
are very bright. After the most successful war canoe race at Spring- 
field on May 30 last, during the Eastern Division meet of the A. C. A., 
it seems as though this kind of canoe racing will be a prominent 
feature in all future resattas. It is hoped that the Hartford C. C. will 
soon fall in line and join the N. E A. R. A 
The Wawbewawa War Canoe Racing Association is composed of 
paddlers living in the vicinity of the Hub, and they certainly ought to 
make a good showing, as they are all A. C. A. members and canoeists 
of experience. The club is limited to twenty, and there is a waiting 
list already. The officers are as follows: Louis S. Drake, Captain; 
Walter L r Perry, Secretary; Francis J, Burrage, Purser. 
Prudish Purity from Puritanville. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Canoeing circles in Boston of late have been shaken with the throes 
of discussion. The topic has, strange to say, been that of dress, 
a subject usually scorned by canoemen. The cause of this distressing 
agitation is found in the recent suspension of several active, members 
of the Newton Boat Club ostensibly because they appeared upon the 
club floats in a training costume, which comprised shoes, stockings, 
knickerbockers and sleeveless rowing shirts. When argued with about 
their action, the officials of that large club wanted it distinctly under- 
stood that "the club was not a boating but a social organization." 
Now every one knew that before the committee made such a state- 
ment, but no canoeist in Boston ever entertained the idea that a club 
whose constitution set forth that it was organized for purposes of 
maintaining and fostering aquatic sports would take such extreme 
means to kill all the athletic tendencies of its members. Can it be that 
the representatives of the fair sex who visit the Is. B. C are so vastly 
different from those who complacently sit and watch a Harvard- Yale 
race, where the contestants oftentimes compete dressed in but little 
more than a breech cloth, or who occupy the seats on Holmes's Field 
and watch the half nude figures of sprinters dash across the tape 
amidst thunders of applause? The young women who indulge in the 
canoeing pleasures on Charles River are admirable in many respects; 
they are of good social standing; unlike most of the members, many 
are strong paddlers: they are eminently respectable and are endowed 
with that innate modesty for which the American girl is noted. But I 
venture to say that by far the greater portion of them modestly ad- 
mire the sight of a well set up, muscular form, as they properly 
should. Is it pos°ible that any pure-minded woman will revolt at the 
sight of a pair of bare, muscular and sun-bronzed arms? I hope not. 
And all would be tranquil in canoeing circles if their prudish swains 
could command an equal amount of sound common sense. Why, since 
the old Greek days and earlier the hardy and well-formed athlete has 
been the cynosure of all feminine eyes, while the weakling has been 
pitied and scorned. Who is crowned by fair hands with the laurel 
wreath of victory now, as then— the manly figure of the perfeetly- 
'formed man or the cigarette-smoking dudeling who idly watches 
others win renown ? 
Away with such false modesty, the meanest of all small qualities. 
Let the American girl continue to applaud the man to whom is due the 
physical elevation of our race, and let the inane splutterings of mock 
modesty receive the contempt that is its due. Ilex. 
Boston. 
Mr. Howard's Races. 
From the Field. 
This question of what is and what is not a canoe-yawl has a rather 
important bearing upon two events which are to come off early in 
August. In the first plac», the British Canoe Association's challenge 
cup at Salcombe, is open to canoe-yawls, and we are informed by the 
owner of an Oxford canoe-yawl that he is going to Salcombe. His 
craft is a J^-rater, she has a counter and a transom stern, and she is 
sloop rigged. There is no definition of a canoe-yawl in the club's rules 
under which the cup is to be raced for; and possibly, after a long and 
expensive journey, this craft may be shut out, should the club elect 
to use the R. C. C definition. On the other hand, sailing canoes, such 
as Dragon, of 36in. beam, 14ft. water-line and 0 3 rating, will have to 
race on open salt water against a regular 0 5-rater racing craft of 17ft. 
water-line and some 5ft. 6in. beam. 
In the second place, with regard to what is a correct definition of 
canoe-yawl, we are informed that the American challenge isstied by 
Mr. Howard to sail his canoe Yankee against any English canoeman 
on open water, has been taken up by Mr, Brand, who is willing to 
match his Oxford canoe-yawl Spruce II, against the Yankee. Of 
course, if each man has seen the boat of the other and is not afraid of 
her, definitions concocted by clubs need not enter the question ; but 
if the idea is to hold a canoe-sailing match under an international 
halo, probably, in the absence at present of a canoe-racing associa- 
tion, some definitions or rules will be advisable if not absolutely 
necessary. If the definition of the Royal C C. be taken, Spruce could 
not sail because she has a transomed counter, and her rudder is not 
"at the after-end of the boat." In light to moderate winds, on open 
water, Yankee, with her 5ft sliding seat, would probably walk clean 
away from the J^-rater if much reaching were found on the course; 
but in a rough peg-and-run, with frequent turning in lumpy water, 
Yankee would be out of it. We do not see any "matching" between 
such very different types of boats— viz., 30in. beam, and crew out on a 
5ft. slide, with 112 sq. ft. of sail, against 5ft. 6in. beam and 175ft. of 
sail, load-line lengths being about the same. If a match is made it 
should not be considered a canoo-sailing race, nor any test of what a 
canoe-yawl is or is not in competition with a typical American canoe. 
A despatch on July 28, states that Mr. Brand has accepted Mr. 
Howard's challenge, and will race him in either a canoe or canoe- 
yawl.

Zettler Rifle Club. 
Eleven members of the Zettler Club assembled at Wissel's Cypress 
Hill Park, July 29, to participate in the bi-monthly shoot. The 
weather was hot and dry, a combination that made shooting some- 
what laborious. The powder had a disagreeable way of sticking to 
the inside of the rifle barrel, thereby causing much vexation to the 
perspiring shooter. Messrs. Ross, Holges and Hansen, who shoot the 
Schalk system, seemed to have but little trouble with their rifles Ross 
in particular shot in brilliant form, and in a series of 50 shots made 
the following scores: 226 226 223 225 2^9—1129. Among the uroup of 
experts who were trying to extract their measure of pleasure from 
the unfavorable conditions was that old veteran and aged shooter 
Ferdinand Fabarius Although 74 years of age Mr, Fabarius seems to 
shoot his rifle with as much pleasure as in bis younger days. The best 
scores on the ring target were made by Ross, whose average was 
225.8. Holges was second. There was considerable interest centered 
on the man-target, where Busse, Walther, Rnss, Holges and others 
were having a hot race for first position. Several of the competitors 
quit only when their ammunition became exhausted Scores:

Rifle Notes. 
A meeting of the board of delegates of the National Bund of North 
America, was held at No. 12 St. Marks Place on Friday night of last 
week, for the purpose of hearing the final report of the committee on 
parks. By a unanimous vote it was decided to hold the festival at 
Glendale Park, Long Island, , 
The New York Central Corps, Capt. D. Meerse, held its 24th annual 
festival at the Union Hill Park, on Wednesday and Thursday of this 
week, 
Rifle at the Golden Gate. 
San Francisco, July 22.— The prolonged strike has arrested my 
regular reports of shooting notes from the Golden Gate, and, more- 
over, I have been in the mountains on a rough, though short, trip after 
biacktails and health. 
Three weeks ago the Griitli Verein gave their annual public prize 
shoot with a liberal list of cash and merchandise prizes on the San 
Rafael range. The attendance was large. The most valuable prize, a 
solid gold Waltham watch, was won by Dr. Rodgers on his second 
ticket (24 23 25— 72) ; Wm. Glindeman. second, won $25 coin (24 25 23— 
72); H. Strecker, third, won $20 gold coin (71 rings), etc. 
Two weeks ago the monthly medal and usual all-comers' contests 
of the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club were held. There were present 
Mr. A. McBean of Chicago, and Mr. Schmidt, formerly of Milwaukee, 
both well known riflemen. Each essayed a score for the Roos rifle 
medal and shot well, considering that they were out of practice. The 
attendance on the range was small, as the strikers were in an ugly 
mood and were in force near the range. Weather conditions good.

Excelsior Rifle Club. 
Five members of the Excelsior Rifle Club, of Jersey City, visited 
Armbruster's Park on Friday of last week for an afternoon practice 
at 200yds, range. The weather was hot with a strong southerly wind 
sweeping across the range. The principal feature of the afternoon's 
shooting was an impromptu 50 shot handicap match between Messrs. 
Hansen, Plaisted and Boyce for a nominal stake; Hansen and Plaisted 
granting Boyce 33 points handicap. The finish of the first 10 shot 
string was decidedly in favor of Hansen, who, with a total of 217, was 
leading Plaisted 3 points and Boyce 27, from this point on to the last 
Btring. Hansen fell off in his average while his competitors kept im- 
proving. Hansen's fifth and last score was an exhibition of good 
holding, and resulted in the fine score of 220. His effort, however, 
came too late to land him a winner in the race. He got second place, 
beating Boyce by the small margin of 3 points. The scores are ap-
