FOREST AND STREAM. 
(Sept. 6, 1896. 
proving the remark so often heard that A. 0. A. membere, as a body, 
are grumblers and kickers; and proving what we have always claimed 
that with a reasonably good caaip!ilte, mess, transportation and gene- 
ral arrangements, no special luxuries or attractions are necessary, 
and men are ready to accept sucb discomforts as are clearly unavoid- 
able. This year there has been no attempt on the part of the oiiicera 
and committees to provide special attractions of the vaudeville, sum- 
mer hotel or excursion order; they have confined their labors to the 
providing of ordinary camp conveniences, and their efforts met with 
a general appreciation. 
The well known camp site on Grindstone is after all the best the 
Association baa ever known; in climate the St. LawrenoR River sur- 
passes the Hudson and lakes George and Champlaln, and is quite 
equal to Long Island Sound— in fact, to the majority of members, un- 
used to salt water, it is far preferable. While the scenery ia but sec- 
ond to some on Lake Ohamplain, he must be hard to please who asks 
anything better than the outlook to the west from Grindstone Hill, 
whether at sunrise, sunset, midday, or by moonlight; and this Is but 
one of a thousand beautiful views within half adoz^n miles. The trans- 
portation this year, both from Gananoque in Canada and Clayton in 
New York, has been excellent; a small local steamer runs to Ganan- 
oque, and a small cabin launch, the Pastime, has been specially char- 
tered to run between Clayton and the camp, making reasonably close 
connections with all trains. 
The camp ground is just the same as of old; it has some disadvan- 
tages, and it does not possess all the combined advantages of every 
other spot that the A. C. A. has ever visited; at the same time It is 
free from the many complaints so justly lodged against Croton Point, 
Wlllsborough Point, Lon^ Island in Lake George, and other old 
campi. Its two important drawbacks are the absence of trees on the 
east hillside, facing Eel Bay, the sailing course; and the distance of 
the Ladles' Camp. In spite of the heat at midday, many still camp 
about headquarters on the east shore, where the main camp was in 
1884-5-5; but those who want shade can find it in the beautiful grove 
along the north shore. In the event of a contingency which is per- 
haps remote, but which has been generally and favorably discussed 
during this meet, the establishment of a permanent camp, and that 
on Grindstone Island, it is possible that some rapid -growing trees 
might be planted along the east shore on the hillside, giving shade in 
a few years The general arrangement of the camp would also be 
Improved if the wharf could be removed to a position near the willow 
trees toward the Ladies' Camp, the mess shed, kitchen and store being 
located here, where in fact the former two no w are, with the head- 
qaarters just north of them. In most details— nature of soil, conven- 
ient beach, absence of tide, sailing waters and winds— Grindstone 
offers all that can be desired or expected 
The mess this year, served at the charge of $1 per day, has been 
moat satisfactory; the manager, Mr. McElveney, is the leading caterer 
of Albany, and consequently is able to avoid the great cause of failure 
in so many messes — an ignorance of how to cater for a camp of this 
Idnd. The bill of fare and the service, with neat young girls for wait- 
ers. Is very good indeed. One source of the general satisfaction 
■with this camp is that all handa have been well fed from the start. 
The camp is a fairly large one, the register showing 201 up to Aug. 
27; the main camp numbers seventy -five tents, and there are at least 
thirty more in Squaw Point; and, strange to say, there are over a 
hundred canoes along the shore. The camp began well, with a num- 
ber under canvas on the first day. and up to Thursday of the second 
week but few had left. Quite a number came in for a day or two. but 
the mess tent attendance nas averaged about 150 per day. The camp 
has depended entirely on itself, the men have gone off but little to the 
surrounding summer resorts, and there has been no troublesome in- 
flux of excursions, tourists or outside visitors. Many have availed 
themselves of the facilities offered by the numerous small steamers 
and have made day excursions to Kingston, Ganauoque, Alexandria 
Bay and among the islands. All outside attractions in the form of 
hotel hops, hotel prizes, etc., have been absent, but not missed. The 
fishing is good. Mr. W. B. Wackerhagen'a catch of a 351s. muscal- 
longe wets exceptional, but many have found good sport, and fish has 
figured frequently and acceptably on the bill of fare. No other loca- 
tion has ever c fllered half the choice of short day cruises by canoe, 
and some have enjoyed them. The amusements of the camp have 
been of the quietest and most prosaic kind. Seavey visits the meet no 
more, though many had hoped that another Grindstone camp would 
bring back the Patriarch of the original Squaw Point, but he did not 
come. There have been no sea serpents, no outdoor performance of 
"As You Like It," no storming of Sebastopol, no Indian war dances. 
The camp-fires too have been m no way remarkable. Miss E. Pauline 
Johnson, last seen at Bropby's Point in 1893, has been again in camp, 
and of course has been in demand at every camp-fire; but apart from 
her recitations there has been nothing new. There are fewer banjoes, 
guitars and mandolins than usual, no new songs and no new singers. 
At the same time, the society in camp has been sociable 
and friendly, with no formality, every one disposed to en- 
joy as fully as possible what is pleasant and to ignore the' minor dis- 
comforts, and this has made pleasant social gatherings at night. 
Whether it means much or little, the liberal display of broken or 
empty bottles witnessed several years since at Wlllsborough has been 
conspicuously absent this year. It may be only that men have 
profited by the serious accidents due to broken glass, or that the 
camp regulations are more carefully observed; but it Is alsr> the case 
that the noise and disorder of many previous camps have been com- 
paratively unknown this year. Apart from one occasion which called 
for the exercise of authority to suppress an all-night noise, the camp 
has been quiet and well ordered. 
The usual routine has been changed this year by the calling of 
several races during the first week, and as the others were run off 
very quickly the rai;ing was over, with the exception of four events, 
by Tuesday night, something never before known. 
The weather through the entire meet was good. It was very hot at 
first and rather too cool at times afterward, but these same conditions 
prevailed throughout the country; the camp was cooler in the hot 
spell than New York or Boston, and at no time afterward was it too 
cool for a fine swim. There was a little rain at times during the first 
week, quickly over, but early on the second Sunday it started in and 
rained until noon. Again on Aug. 26 a light thunderstorm about 6 P. 
M. turned into a steady rain that lasted until after midnight, though 
the next day was warm and sunny. It happened most unfortunately 
that this was the evening of the only excursion from the camp, a 
moonlight search-light run among the islands, but the glorious moon- 
light of the preceding night was absent and the search-light was not 
appreciated on the wet and sloppy decks. 
To those who have watched the course of canoeing through the last 
three meets, the present one was a surprise, especially after the abso- 
lute failure of the racing last year. Here there were at least a hun- 
dred canoes, half of them entered for the races, the entry list includ- 
ing over fifty names. The result was that out of a long programme, 
thirty events, all but two were run off, and with considerable Interest 
on the part of contestants and spectators This revival of interest is 
not a little remarkable after the recent rapid decline, nor is It easily 
explained. Of new canoes there were none save the new Mab, in which 
Mr. Archbald succeeded in winning the sailing trophy for the second 
time. The sailing canoes on the entry list are all well known, and the 
new canoe, used by Mr. Noack in the paddling trophy race, a hand- 
some craft, is not radically different from others of her class. 
The new Mab, the only important addition to the racing fieet for 
gome years, is a remarkably handsome craft, designed and built by 
N Gilbert, of Brockville. She was begun within a month, but shows 
no evidence of hasty work in her design or construction. She Is, of 
course, 16 X 30, with about 13in. depth amidships; the midship section 
has a good deal of dead rise and quite a strong bilge, a very fair and 
taking section, but not a powerful one. The keel is well rockered 
and there is no sheer, the freeboard being the same from end to end. 
The deckline is round and fair, and all the wateriines are round and 
full, giving a beautiful form. The hull is of ribband-carvel build, 
planked and decked wl h British Columbia cedar, a fine piece of 
planking, '''he main feature of the canoe is a strong deck seat, 
placed very high above the hull and thoroughly fastened to It, the 
hull being especially strengthened to carry such a seat. The seat 
itself is 5tt. Sin. long, and two were used, one of solid board and one a 
thin built box, very light and strong, though it Is doubtful whether it 
is really strong enough for the severe work demanded of it. This 
seat is placed over a small shallow cockpit, draining Into the center- 
board trunk. The slot is made very long. In ease It should prove 
necessary to use the ordinary form of board, but a small steel plate 
of the Linton Hope form was first tried, and It worked so well that 
it has been retained. It hoists with a line from the fore deck, as is 
usual is this forms of board. It is so fitted that it may be shitted aft in 
Ihe trunk at a moment's notice. The rudder Is a fixed steel plate, 
wltb a "Norwegian tiller" connecting it with a very long and strong 
thwartship tiller, pivoting about the mizzenmast tube. The rig Is of 
the ordinary "Pecowsic" bats wing with two battens, the sails of Union 
silk. The forward mast tube is placed close to the stem, and being 
rather shallow, is carried nearly 3in. above deck, and reln orced by a 
turned modern block about 6ln. in diameter and 2J^in. high. The hull 
Itself is very handsome; hut its shipshape appearance is completely 
spoiled by tne high deck seat and this awkward turret on the bows. 
The bottom was In excellent condition, hard and polished, something 
unusual in a boat just in the water for the first time. Mr. Archbald 
has had to sail her with no previous trial 
Two of the regatta committee, Messrs. E. B. Edwards and Butler 
Ames, were present, and Vice-Corn. H. D. McVean was pressed into 
service in the absence of the third member. The usual triangle was 
buoyed off in Eel Bay, with the start off the main wharf. The mile 
and half mile paddling courses were laid off from the dock in the 
direction of the ladies' camp. The first race called was event No. 10, 
tbe Jabberwoek trophy which was stai-ted at 8:85 o^ Thursday, Aug. 
20, in a fresh and puffy wind, with four entries. Az Iz, J . B. Stewart, 
won, and as Mr. Stewart won tbe trophy last year in the same canoe 
he becomes the permanent owner. The ladies' paddling and novice 
E addling, events 32 and 35, were called the same afternoon, being won 
y Miss Lillian Scott and C. P Moser respectively The next after- 
noon the race for the Champlaln cup, event 8, and that for the Orillia 
cup, event 9, were started together, the former over three rounds of 
the triangle, the latter over five, it being open only to the members 
of the Northern Division. A very good fleet of starters, twelve in all, 
crossed the line. All of the older canoes were entirely outclassed by 
Mab, and she won easily in both events. 
On Saturday morning the race for the Atlantic Division cup, event 
No. 30, was started at 10:35, the first two rounds making event No. 18, 
the novice sailing. Mr. May won the latter, and Mr. Moore the for- 
mer. Mr. Dunnell sailed the old Eclipse with a small rig. Just after 
noon the mixed tandem, event No. 24, was called, a lady and gentle- 
man in each canoe. Miss Stewart, of Rochester, and Mr. King, of 
Toronto, made up the winning crew. Then came the swimming race, 
won by A. A. Conger. 
The first event of "race week" proper was the combined race, called 
at 10:35 on Monday morning in a light breeze. As the com mittee was 
unable to secure an extra launch, Mr. W. H. Post, who was present in 
the steam yacht Vailima, very kindly put her at the service of the 
committee for Monday and Tuesday. Mr. Stewart, in Az Iz, won very 
easily. The ladies' tandem followed at noon, won by Mrs. Plummer 
and Miss Smith. The club sailing, event No. It, was started precisely 
at noon in a moderate breeze, fifteen canoes crossing the line Mr, 
Butler won easily after a good race, 
The unlimited was started at 3:05 in a moderate 8. W. breeze and 
smooth water. Mr. Moore, in Pioneer, sailed a good race, and was 
beaten by but 30 seconds, Mab winning. The trophy paddling was 
called at 5:30; by the time the men had paddled up to the start, a 
mile along shore, the wind was blowing very fresh against the course. 
This race had awakened an unusual amount of interest from the fact 
that there was a new man present on purpose to win it if possible. 
This was Mr. W. C. Noack, of Detroit, a member of the Detroit B. C. 
and the W. O. A. Mr. Noack has trained for canoe paddling f'^r two 
years, and since last winter has been in regular training. He is of 
medium height and weight and light physique, but well developed. 
His position in paddling was a decided novelty and created much dis- 
cussion as to its merits. Like the old-time American paddlers, he sat 
afj-aight on the floor of his canoe; but with all this his mtthod was 
entirely new. His feet were well braced against a foot rest, and he 
sat with a thwart of his open canoe across his thighs, so that he was 
braced in a way that is possible with no other position. His four 
rivals paddled In the kr>eellng pnsltion. Mr. Noack was well off at 
the start, swinging his arms with no body motion ; he took the lead of 
King and opened out clear water at the half mile, finally winning 
easily. As far as tbe merits of the two positions are decided by the 
result of this race, it must be said that while Mr. Noack had a very 
fine paddling canoe, built by English, and kept her in perfect con- 
dition, he had probably trained more thoroughly and carefully than 
any of the others; he saved in body windage through the lower seat, 
and he rolled bis ) addles, the blades being quartered, two very im- 
portant details in a race against a strong wind. The times are not 
reliable for a record, the course being logged and not measured: the 
work was done as carefully as possible, but the log is not sufficiently 
accurate for the laying off of short distances. The hurry-scurry race, 
won by Conger, finished the day. 
The first race on Tuesday was the record paddling, event No. 2, 
won by J. W. Sparrow In Eel. The open paddling, event No 15, was 
won by F. A. C. Bickerdike; the decked tandem, event No. 16, by King 
and MacDougal: and tbe open tandem, event No. 17, by Scott and 
R. Bickerdike. The "tail end" race, No. 37, was a novelty, it was pad- 
dled down wind with the paddler seated in the bow of his canoe; Mr. 
F. A. C. Bickerdike won after a very amusing race. The paddling 
upset was won by Mr. King. 
The trophy race was called at 3:05, with 13 starters, a very good 
field, all things considered. Mab led over the course and won by 
nearly two minutes from Bug, but this gain was made mainly in the 
first round. The wind was moderate throughout the race, but in 
the first round it was lighter than in the next four, falling a little on 
the sixth. On the first round Mab gained Im. 15s., on the second 19s., 
on the third 19s., holding her own on the next, then losing 3Ss., and 
on the last regaining all but one of them. Mab sailed very fast indeed 
on the reach, but Bug did the better windward work; in particular 
she cut the marks better except at the finish. At the end of nearly 
every round Mab failed to fetch the buoy and had to make an extra 
short tack. The race was a very pretty one, and as it was within 
plain view of the camp it was watched with interest by all bands. 
Unlike Stave Island, Long Island and Wlllsborough, the sailing and 
p'Bddling courses this year were plainly visible from the main camp. 
The last race of the day was the club four, with but two crews 
entered; the Toronto crew winning. 
Wednesday was clear, with a light wind in the morning, and the 
record sailing race was called, but by 10 o'clock there was a reefing 
breeze from S.W. Only two out of the five record men started, 
though all were ready at the wharf. Az Iz and Beta were both reefed 
when they crossed the line at 10:35, on a reach for the south buoy, the 
marks being left to port. They staggered along, taking some bad 
knockdowns, and at the end of the first round the race was called by 
the committee, Mr Stewart, who was a long way ahead, being de- 
clared the winner. This gave him 10 paints in the record to Mr. Hale's 
5, the other three not being placed. 
Just before 6 P. M. a light thunderstorm passed over the camp, 
clearing for a time, only to be followed by an intermittent downpour 
that lasted well into the night. Many of the campers had arranged to 
go on a search-light excursion through the islands, and they took the 
steamer during one of the clear Intervals about sunset only to be 
greeted by a heavy shower as soon as tbe boat had started. They re- 
turned to camp about 11:30, voting the expedition anything but a suc- 
cess, and in envy of those who had passed the evening under the tent 
flies with a rousing camp-fire in front. 
Thursday morning was clear and sunny again, and the Dolphin 
trophy race was called at 10:20, with five starters in a light breeze. 
Az Iz was disqualified for fouling Pioneer, giving the race to the lat- 
ter. 
The next race, called at 2:50, was event No 13, with sail limited to 
lOOsq. ft., won by Az Iz. With it was started a special race, in place 
of event No. 14, unclassified craft. As none of the latter — canoe 
yawls, sneakboxes, cruisers, etc.— were present, a class was made 
for the old-time canoes with open cockpits. Eclipse-winning. 
The last race at 5:30 P. M. was a special event, passenger paddling, 
the "passenger" being a man. Mrs. Plummer won, with Miss Swift 
second. The prizes were presented at the camp-fire in the evening, 
A notable change has been made this year in the abandonment of the 
Bilk prize flags, so long given as prizes, for a special trophy in the 
shape of a bronze shield of handsome design, bearing the name of the 
race, winner, etc., in raised letters, and mounted on an oak board. 
The result Is a very neat and appropriate trophy of no intrinsic value, 
but far more durable than the flags; making a lasting record of a 
man's prowess as a canoeist. 
The business of the meet was confined exclusively to the election of 
officers. The meet of 1897 going to the Northern Division necessitated 
the choice of a commodore from that division, and at the division 
meeting in camp the name of John W MacKendrick, of Gait, Ontario, 
was unanimously selected for pre8»ntation to the executive commit-' 
tee. Mr. MacKendrick, who was in camp, was reluctant to accept the 
office, but was urged to do so by old members from the States who 
have known him long in the A C. A., as well as by those of his own 
division. No choice of aecretary-treasurer was made, the matter being 
left open until Mr. MacKendrick could find some one so situated as to be 
able to work with him. The Northern Division at the same meeting 
elected the following division officers: Vice-Com., R. Easton Burns, 
Kingston; Bear-Com., D. H. McDougall, Toronto; Purser, W. H. Mac- 
nee, Kingston; Executive Committee, J. Lawless. The Atlantic Division 
elected tbe following officers: Vice-Com., J. E. Murray, Philadelphia, 
Pa.; Rear-Com., W. E. Barlow, Sing Sing, N. Y. ; Purser, H. W. Fleisch- 
man. Philadelphia, Pa, ; Executive Committee— Thos. Hale. Jr., J, K. 
Hand. The Central Division elected the following officers: Vlce-Oom., 
H. M. Stewart, Rochester, N. Y.; Rear-Com , George J, Keyes, Roches- 
ter, N. Y. ; Purser, L. W. Woodward, Qouverneur. N. Y.; Executive 
Committee— A. T. Smith, Rochester, N. Y., H. 0 Morse, Peoria, 111. 
The Eastern Division elected its officers at the division meet In June, 
as follows: Vice-Com., Raymond Appolonio, Winchester, Mass.; 
Rear-Com., L. S.Drake, Auburndale, Mass.; Purser, F. J, Burrage, 
Newtown, Mass,; Executive Committee: H. C. Wiggin, Boston; A. W. 
Dodd, Hartford; F. W. Taylor, Lowell. The Board of Governors re- 
elected R. J. Wilkin as chairman and C. V, Winne as secretary 
The meeting of the executive committee took place on Aug. 24, 
with Com. Huntington in the chair. The question of proper security 
for the A. C. A. trophies was discussed at unnecessary length, and a 
resolution passed to the effect that suitable bonds to the amount of 
$500 should be required of the winners. Mr. MacKendrick was nomi- 
nated for commodore and unanimously elected, the selection of the 
secretary-treasurer being deferred, The question of camp site was 
informally discussed, the preference being unanimously for Grind- 
atone Island. 
The Central Division has had since 1889 the Jabberwock trophy, pre- 
sented by Geo. A. Warder to the division, to be sailed for at the 
meets by members of the division only ; and to become the permanent 
property of the first man who should win it for two years in succes- 
sion in the same canoe. The trophy, which cost over $200, was unique 
in its way, a smoking set, consisting of a box about SxiOin. of bur- 
nished copper. Tbe various compartments contained two handsome 
pipes, a meerschaum and briar, a cigar holder, an elegantly embroi- 
dered tobacco pouch, and other smoking appliances. The lid bore an 
inscription and the figure of the Jabberwock was carved or embroi- 
dered on the box and every separate article. The conditions of the 
trophy when it came into Mr. Stewart's hands last year spoke but 
little for the Ideas of some previous holders of what was intrusted 
to them merely for temporar.v possession pending the final winning. 
Every article had disappeared, the box was not only empty, but the 
sides were split apart, and one of the handsome Jabberwock claws 
had been wrenched from a corner. The Central Division at its meet- 
ing resolved to appropriate SS50 to the purchase of a permanent 
trophy, to be sailed for by its members at the meets. 
Throughout the camp there was noticeable a general disposition to 
return to Grindstone next year, and it is practically settled that if sat- 
isfactory arrangements can be made with Mr. Delany the camp will be 
on the same site. Though not in the Northern Division by nearly a 
quarter of a mile. Grindstone is by far the best site for both Canadians 
and Ajnericans. The Stave Island camp ground is not to be consid- 
ered, as it lacks every desirable qualification for an A. C. A. camp; it 
faces the wrong way — to the west; the ground is rough and uneven, 
the wharf must be a long distance from the camp, and the sailing 
ground is not visible from the camp. It was a very poor spot 
in 1889, and with the present stage of the river, as it has been 
for several years, it would be much worse. Those who can get to the 
camp early and secure one of the several rocky points will have 
small reason to complain, but the great majority of campers must be 
less fortunate. The defects of Grindstone are now thoroughly under- 
stood, and with a re-arrangement of the camp may be partially 
remedied. One important matter, the mess, is likely to cause no 
trouble, as Mr. McElveney is willing to take it again next year at 
Grindstone, thoueh he could not do so in Canadian waters. 
The camp broke up, as usual, on Friday, a few remaining over. 
Taking it altogether, and efpecially as compared with the rather dlB- 
couraging outlook of last year, tbe meet has been a success In attend- 
ance, in the number of canoes, entries and races, in the way it has 
been enjoyed by all in camp, and In the promise of a renewed interest 
in canoeing and canoe racing next year.
