JOOBVAIi— LAK1 8T LOUIS. 
Satwclay, July 3. 
The seventh race of the Boss series for the 20-footers came 
off on the afternoon of Saturday July 3. There was a very 
light air from the eastward, and the boats were sent off from 
the port course, which involved a spinaker run to the Valois 
ljuoy against the current. What \tind there was seemed to 
die out entirely in the bay, and it made the race a very slow 
one indeed, the boats taking about one hour for each round 
The starti whs made at 8:45, and Glenowen got away with 
a lead, with Millie second and Avoca third. Millie and 
Glenowen hung close to each other all the way ui3, and Millie 
got the buoy aud took the lead. On the reach she widened 
out the distance between her and Glenowen a little, and on 
the windward work there was a little more air stirring and 
Glenowen gained on her. At the finish of the first round 
there was only ten .seconds between them. Avoca crept up 
and passed Rogue on the windward work, and took third 
place. The finish of the first round was as follows: 
Millie 4 .■=& 11 Rogue 4 58 02 
Glenowen 4 5'' 31 Islander , 5 oi 27 
Avoca 4 67 31 
On the second round Millie set her spinaker to port and 
Glenowen set hers to starboard, Millie handling her sails 
a little more smartly of the two, and the two boats went x\p 
the course almost together. Millie again got the buoy, and 
oa the reach across to the outer buoy Millie drew away a 
little. After rounding the buoy the two leaders tacked close 
in shore, and at the end of the first leg Glenowen was able 
to cross Millie's bow, and she held this lead to the finish 
line. The result of the second round was as follows:

The Wawbetvawa Canoe Association. 
The Wawbewawa Canoe Association Ib rapidly gaining 
the distinction of being themost active canoeing organization 
in the Eastern Division of the A. C. A. The members cele- 
brated Independence Day by adding two more splendid vic- 
tories to their already long list. They not only won the war 
canoe championship of the New England Amateur Rowing 
Association for 1897 in the Boston regatta, but also sent a 
crew to Springfield, where they took first honors in the war 
canoe event of tie Connecticut A''alley Amateur Rowing As- 
sociation regatta. At the Eastern Division meets of the A. 
C. A. during tbe past few years the Wa^bewawas have 
carried their colors well to the front. The Association was 
organized in 1874, and has already won the war canoe cham- 
pionship three times in the A. C. A. and twice in the N E. 
A. R. A., as well as the Connecticut Valley championship 
At the canoe meets held in Lowell, Worcester and Law- 
rence during the last three years, the Wawbes have each time 
won the single-blade and tandem single-blade events. The 
club four race also went to the Wawbewawas in 1895 and 
1896, and in the former year Messrs. Burrage, Hall, Forsaith 
and Ashenden won the club four championship of the A. C 
A. at Bluff Point. " 
The club has recently been incorporated under Massachu- 
setts laws, and the members are now enjoying the privileges 
of a handsome club house erected last spring on the banks 
of the picturesque Charles in Auburndale. The limit of 
member.=hip is fifty, and already there is a long waiting list. 
The officers of the club are as follows: Capt., Louis S, 
Drake; Purser, Francis J. Burrage; Sec'y, Wm. V. Forsaith.

Des Moines C. C. 
Chicago, 111., June 26.— At Des Moines, la., there is a 
deep dam across the Des Moines River, and above the dam 
extends a pond of still water some miles in extent, not un- 
suitable for thg purposes of fishing or canoeing. For years 
this backwaterhas been utilized by the water-lovers of the 
city, though nothing has been done toward the organization 
of a canoeing body, Yet for many years Des Moines has 
boasted an enthusiast in canoe matters, a gentleman by the 
name of Tacitus Hussey, commonly known as Tac Hussey. 
Mr. Hussey has been a regular and devoted disciple of the 
tiny craft, and his penchant for the sport has made him in 
the past an object of interest and curiosity in the staid 
Western city. Mr. Hussey has paddled away faithfully and 
industriously, talking canoeing, acting canoeing, and upon 
occasion even writing poetry about canoeing. Finally his 
enthusiasm has become contagious, and has spread to others 
of the community. This week a canoe club was organized 
at Des Moines, with a membership of about forty. Most of 
ties© aye beginners, but their Intentions appear to be of the 
Canoe Cruising and Camping'. 
The new book ju.st Issued bv the Forest and Stream Pub- 
lishing Co under the above title comes most opportunely at 
the season, when canoe cruises are in order. The author. 
Perry D. Frazer, is a cruising canoeist of long expenence and 
thoroughly familiar with the canoe and all its accessories, 
the gun, the fishing outfit, the camera and the tent. How 
to use all of these in the enjoyment of a cheap, wholesome 
and healthful outdng is told in a plain and practical manner, 
the book being intended for the novice and young canoeist. 
The canoe, camping outfit, clothing, etc., are described In 
detail, and the author's advice in their selection and use is 
full and reliable. The book will be found well worth the at- 
tention of even experienced canoeists. 
The W. Ci A. Meet. 
At Delavan Lake, Wis., preparations for the August meet 
of the W. C. A. are going on. Secretary Huntitigton has 
arranged with the Highland Hotel for board for the tars 
who will be in attendance, and space has been secured for 
the tents of those who will camp out. The triangular course 
has been staked out — a half mile to the leg — opposite High- 
land. The sailing will be la view of the hotel gueits at dif- 
ferent parts of the lake. • E. HouGH.
