Mullet iLake vs. Ballast Island. 
Dayton, O.. July 80.— I first attended the meet of the W. O. 
A., at Ballast Island, in 188(5, and have attended every one since, with 
the exception of that held at Ballast in July, 1895. I have always been 
an advocate of alternating, in regard to location, holding the meet 
one summer at Ballast Island, and the next summer at some other 
favorable spot. We held two meets in Wisconsin, one at Lake Winne- 
bago and one near Madison, on both of which occasions we met a 
very fine lot of fellows, who proved to be good canoeists, but unfor- 
tunately for the Association were not able to follow us when we re- 
tm-ned to Ballast Island or to Mullet Lake; therefore it is a question 
with the Association to-day whether this policy will be successful in 
the future, and if not successful, it is my opinion that the old original 
members should rule and hold the meets where it pleases them most. 
In this connection, I want to speak my little piece in regard to the 
meet just finished at Dodge's Point, Mullet Lake, A few of us who 
were present are like the two remaining members of the Ruckawa 
Canoe Club, a sketch of which appears in the year book of the W. C. 
A,, the end of which reads, "There are only a few of us left, but we 
arestaye's." While the stayers are few in number, they made up 
everything that was lacking, in enthusiasm and a grand, good time. 
In the ten meets I have attended I do not think that I ever had a bet- 
ter time. The place was an ideal one for a camp situated in a most 
beautiful grove on a point extending out into the waters of Mullet 
Lake. The weather could not have bfen more desirable if it had been 
ordered especially for the occasion. The accessibility of the spot by 
boat or rail made the jmrney there very delightful, while the accom- 
modations at the Waldemere Club were something that the W. C. A. 
members have not been accustomed to at their meets on former occa- 
sions. Last, but not least, by any means, the hospitality shown to us 
by the members of the Waldemere Club and Iheir friends. 
When we arrived in Cheboygan we were taken charge of, and the 
question was many times asked of us, "Now what can we do for you?" 
and while in camp the spirit of hospitality and cordiality were so 
marked that it made the small attendtmce all the more embarrassing 
to those of us who were there. 
The sailing winds, I am told by those who are competent to judge, 
were all that could be desired, although somewhat heavier than we 
have been accustomed to. The water was fine for swimming, and the 
boys who took advantage of the magnificent sand beach will long re- 
member the fun it afforded them. 
The fishing in Mullet Lake was quite good, one gentleman taking 
ten fine black bass.in one afternoon at the mouth of the river, 2 miles 
distant from the camp. 
Another pleasant feature of this occasion is the accessibility to the 
•various trout streams, which you are familiar with. 
The telephone, telegrapii and express were all conveninntly ar- 
ranged for us, which is quite an item with a good many when attend- 
ing a canoe meet. 
Taking it all in all, I am satisfied that we have never found a place 
so desirable, and I feel that it' is due the members of the Waldemere 
Club, as well as oui-selves, that we go there again with a full repre- 
sentative crowd of canoeists, such as we have had on former occasions" 
and in doing so we could not find a location that would give better 
satisfaction, everything being considered. 
I still cling to Ballast Island as the home of the W. C. A., but I feel 
that as an alternating point Dodge's Point, on Mullet Lake, is the 
place for the W. C. A. W. H. Crawpokd. 
Hurrah for Grindstone. 
The Seventeenth annual meet of the American Canoe Association 
win be held on our old camping ground on Grindstone Island, from 
Aug. 14 to 28. 
Does not this announcement call up many pleasant recollections of 
the meets of 1884, "85 and '8(5, and do not all of the men and women 
who attended those meets look forward with pleasure to the oppor- 
tunity of once more camping on old Grindstone, and sailing or pad- 
dling on Eel Bay ? I hope to see a goodly number of those old boys 
Whose heads must be getting gray perhaps, but whose hearts are ever 
young and in the right place. Can't you hear one of them now saying 
to another, '-I'm just as young as I used to be." Then, too, I hope the 
younger men will turn out and show the old boys that there are just 
as true canoeists now as there ever have been. Come and hear the 
old fellows tell what they used to do in cimp, and how they had faster 
boats than any of the modern ones, and then go out and sail all around 
them and capsize once in a while just to show them how easy it is to 
right your canoe and go on again. Let them open their eyes when 
they see the batswing sails, the sliding seat and self-b«iling cockpit, 
and then let's all go up on Nob Hill and have such a rousing old camp- 
fire as was never seen before, except when we burned all the tent 
floors on that memorable night in August ten years ago. 
Old Grindstone is still there, and Eel Bay and the islands are more 
beautiful than ever. Let us see It we cannot once more see the bay 
white with sails, as it was in 1S86. Take a canoe, a tent and some 
blankets, and take a train that will bring you to Clayton or Gananoque 
on the morning of Aug. 14 next; then take the steamer for camp 
and spend two as happy weeks as you have ever spent, and renew 
your acquaintance with the best lot of fellows anywhere to be found, 
the members of the American Canoe Association. If you are a new 
member and do not know a single A. C. A. man, come just the same 
and see how quickly you will get acquainted with them all and find out 
what a good time you will have. An Old Bot. 
Royal C. C. Challenge Cup. 
The following account of the victory of W. W. Howard is from the 
Meld. We are obliged to defer the Field's comments to next 
week: 
Friday, July 17.— Race for the Royal C. C. challenge cup, and chal- 
lenge cup, value £50 (tenable for theyearj, and £5 prize; course, from 
the London Sailing Club round buoy in the Roach, twice round, 10 
miles. 
Start, 2:30; wind, N. to N.E., fresh. The entries were: 
Canoe. Owner. 
Yankee (winner) Mr. W. W. Howard f British Canoe Association), 
PrucasIU Mr. G. U. Laws (Northern C. C). 
Dragon Mr. R. F. Lawson ^Royal C. C). 
Vanessa Mr. B. de Q. Quincey (Royal C. C). 
Solitaire Mr. A. E. Wail (Midland Sailing Club). 
Viper Mr. C. C. Lyman (Royal C. C). 
Vanessa wan first over the line at 2:30:05, followed by Yankee at 
2:30:15, then came Prucas III., Sohtaire and Dragon. Yankee soon 
took the lead, and, sailing very fast, she had a lead of nearly I3cn. at 
the end of the first round, and finally won bv 87m 61s. It is, however, 
only fair to the holder of the cup, Mr. C. C. Lynam, to state that he 
was unable to start, owing to exhaustion consequent on his sailing his 
canoe round from Southend the day before when there was a gale of 
wind blowing, and the only wonder is that he arrived at all. Vanessa 
gave up at the end of the first round, as she was leaking. Solitaire 
lost her mast soon after rounding Branklet Spit Buoy, and was towed 
back by the Dorothy. Although Prucas lU. had been practically 
rebuilt since Wednesday, she was leaking badly, and was half full of 
water when she finished. Dragon was also leaking, and, although she 
was sailed right up to the last, ic was a hopeless stern chase. It might 
here be stated that, although Mr. Howard was at Burnham during all 
the races, this was the only race he started in, which was thought by 
most, if not all those present, to be rather a strange kind of proceed- 
ing, 90osiderihg how easily hie canoe is fitted for racing. 
Grindstone Island. 
ATio. 14-28. 
Next week being the annual pilgrimage of all good canoeists to the 
old camp ground last visited in 1886, everything possible has been 
done by the officers to make their stay a pleasant one, as were those 
of former years, and we hope that many will be present. The details 
of the arrangements are as follows: 
TRANSPORTATION ARRANGEMENTS. 
The Trunk Line Association, the Boston Passenger Committee 
(covering New England territory) and the following Canadian lines, 
C, P. Railway, Q. T. Railway (Northern and Western Divisions), Erie 
& Huron Railway, Central Ontario Railway, Kingston Sc Pembroke 
Railway, Bay of Quinte Railway and Navigation Co., Michigan Cen- 
tral R. R. (also BufiEalo, N. Y.), and also Hamilton, Ontario, have 
granted the customary concession, vi2.: A round trip of one and one- 
third fare to Clayton and Gananoque. Members will pay full fare to 
the points named, obtaining from the selling agents certificates 
which, when indorsed and vised at camp, will enable the holders 
thereof to return to the point of starting by continuous passage at 
one-third of the regular rate. Tickets may be purchased three days 
prior to and during the camp, and certificates will be honored for re- 
turn trip (without stop-over) for three days (Sunday excepted) after 
the close of camp, Aug. 28. 
Members arriving at Clayton via R. , W. .S; O. R. R. or by steamer 
(the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Co.) from Toronto, Kingston, 
Montreal, Quebec and intermediate points, will find the Steam yacht 
Pastime at the railroad dock, running on the following schedule; 
Leave Clayton 6:.30 and 10:30 A. M., and 2:00 and 5:15 P. M.; arrive at 
camp 7:15 and 11:15 A. M , and 2:45 and 6 P. M. Leave camp 7:80 and 
11;;W A. M., and 3:15 and 7:30 P. M.; arrive at Clayton 8:15 A, M , and 
12:15, 4:00 and P:15 P. M. 
Members arriving at Gananoque can leave by steamer Valeria at 5 
A, M., 3:15 and 7 P. M.; returning, leave camp for Gananoque at 11 A. 
M., 5:45 and 9 P. M, This steamer will connect with the principal 
trains on G. T. RaUway via Thousand Islands Railway at Gananoque 
Junction. 
The fare on the steamers from Clayton and Gananoque to camp will 
be reasonable for members and their equipment. 
The free carriage of canoea and dufile on railways must be made a 
matter of arrangement direct with the railway agents by the mem- 
bers, as it is out of the jurisdiction of the railway associations. It is 
probable, however, that most of the roads will agree to carry canoes 
and dufile free, or as part of members' baggage, the limit being 1501b.s., 
and excess baggage rates paid on overweight The N. Y. C. & H. R. 
R. R. and R., W. & O. R. R. have agreed to this, canoes being taken, 
however, at owner's risk. Excess rates per lOOlbs. vary according to 
distance and can be obtained from railway agents. As a rule, a guar- 
antee of eighteen tickets from any one locality to Clayton or Gan- 
anoque will entitle the holders to the entire use of a free baggage car. 
Members of clubs, or individuals, should consult together and try to 
arrange this, allowing time for securing the use of such a car. A bag- 
gage car, or, if necessary, two cars will he provided by the N. Y. 0. & 
H. R. R. R. for the accommodation of members from New York and 
vicinity, including New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The car or ears 
will be at the Thirtieth street station of the N. Y. C. & H. R. R R. 
about Aug. 11, and will leave in time to stop over at the Knickerbocker 
Canoe Club at 152d street. Yon kers and Sing Sing. Thence direct to 
Clayton, arriving Saturday morning, the 15th, and returning by same 
route. Members from points outside of New York can ship their 
equipment by local express, freight or truck to Thirtieth street 
station, care of James K. Hand, where everything will be cared for 
and stored in the cars. Those who desire to do so may send their 
canoes and duffle by water or by truck to the K. C. C. house, where 
they will be cared for until the arrival of the car. The exact leaving 
time of the car from points named will be given in the Forest and 
Stream, and upon application to the undersigned, to whom advice 
should be sent regarding the quantity of duffle to be carried in the 
car, number of canoes, etc., as soon as possible. 
A sleeping car for the exclusive use of members and their friends 
will be attached to the train leaving New York on the evening of 
Friday, Aug. 14, at 7 P. M., if a sufficient number will send their 
names in prior to Aug. 10. Already nearly the requisite number have 
responded and accommodations will be given as the names are re- 
ceived. 
Any other particulars regarding the whole scheme for transporta- 
tion will be gladly given by the undersigned, as well as advice regard- 
ing the best means of securing favorable transportation from the 
railroads in regard to the handliog of canoes and duffle.

Grand Central Station, New York City. 
A. c. A. camp. 
The 1896 meet will be held on the old A. C. A. camping ground at 
the foot of Grindstone Island, St. Lawrence River. The camp is 
about five miles distant from Clayton and th? same distance frora 
Gananoque. The main camp will be located, as formerly, in the 
grove along the north shore and also on the open field fronting Eel 
Bay. 
Squaw Point will also occupy its old location on the point south of 
the main camp. There is an open grove, and those that prefer can 
camp just outside of the grove on dry and nearly level ground. 
The camp mess will be located near the southerly end of the main 
camp and will be conducted by Mr. D. McElveny, the well-known 
Albany caterer, who had charge of the mess Ust year at Bluff Point. 
The usual rates of $1 per day will be charged. The mess will be in a 
large tent erected over a substantial floor. The walls of the tent will 
be arranged to lower in pleasant weather and can quickly be replaced 
when desired. It is thought tnat a tent is much more appropriate 
for a camp than a wooden building and quite as comfortable. 
It is hoped that the members generally will avail themselves of the 
camp mess, as Mr. McElveny has made extensive preparations for us, 
and it is hoped that his efforts will be rewarded by a generous patron- 
age. 
The camp store will be located near the dock and will keep in stock 
the usual camp supplies, and will take orders for things not kept in 
stock. The store will be managed by Mr. Wm. L. Delaney. 
Malls will be distributed in camp at the secretary's tent, A. C. A. 
headquarters. The address for mail and express matter will be A. c! 
A. Camp, Grindstone Island, Clayton, N. Y. Letters and express mat- 
ter from Canadashould be addressed A. C. A. Camp, Grindstone Island 
Gananoque, Ont. ' 
Office no'irs of the commodore and secretary for the transaction of 
business will be from 9 until 10 A. M., and 1 until 2 P. M., each day. 
Carpenters and laborers have been engaged, lumber purchased, and 
floors, skids, etc., will be built for members at reasonable cost on ap- 
plication to the camp site committee. Lumber and nails will be sold 
to members who desire to build their own floors. Flag poles can be 
furnished at a reasonable price. Mambers desiring floors, and who 
can do so, are earnestly requested to send their order, stating size 
desired, by Aug. 7, or as soon after as possible, to John R. Robertson, 
Chairman of the Camp Site Committee, A. C. A. Camp, Grindstone 
Island, Clayton, N. Y. 
Customs Regulations.— We quote from letter of P. N. Potter, Collec- 
tor of Customs at Cape Vincent, regarding the introduction of camp 
equipage: 
"We will allow the Canadian members of the A. C. A. to bring their 
canoes and camp equipage to Grindstone Island without formal 
entry, the same to be returned t-o Canada. Cannot grant permission 
for free entry of provisions and supplies, as there is no authority 
for so doing. Will have the deputy collector at Grindstone to look 
after the camp, and the wants of the A. C. A. will be attended to 
promptly." 
Entertainment.— It is expected that many general camp-flres will be 
given, and in order that these may be a success it is hoped that all 
who play, sing or have any specialties will come prepared to do their 
share toward entertaining. 
Bluminations.— Members are requested to bring colored lanterns or 
other means of illuminating the camp at night. 
Signals.— The A. C. A. signal code will be used to convey all intelli- 
gence from headquarters to the entire camp, the signal station and 
poles being located at headquarters. Copies of the code may be ob- 
tained from the secretary. Price 10 cents. 
CAMP RtlLKS. 
I. A member of the executive committee will be appointed each day 
as "officer of the day," who will have charge of the camp and will 
appoint four members as pickets to assist him. The officer of the day 
will wear a red badge and the pickets blue badges. 
2. A member-at-large and two associate members will be appointed 
in charge of the ladies' camp.

P. M. quiet must be maintained in camp. 
6. Tents may be located by owners, subject to the approval of the

A. M. A wagon will make the rounds of the camp before that hour 
for the removal of all rubbish. 
7. Neither guests nor members from the main camp will be expected 
In the ladies' camp before 10 A. M. or after 6 P. M,, exctpt by special
