Pabst Cup. 
PEWAUKEE. WIS. 
Saturday, Aug. SS. 
Thk yacbt Avprs, of tlie Pine Lake Y. C, owned by Com, 
Rob. Nunnemacber, and sailed by Herman ISTunnemacber, 
of that clnb, won ont in tbe Pabsit challenge cnp regatta, 
sailed over the Pine Lake Y. C.'s cour«e this afternoon. 
Avprs was the winner of the Pabst trophy last year. This 
will give the cud to the Pine Lake Y. C. for another year, as 
it is too late in the season for another regatta to take place 
before Sept. 15. 
The race as a whole was a very pretty affair, though the 
loss of the wind on the second round took away a good deal 
of the snap that was evident early in the event. 
The wind was light and pnffy from the south, and the 
start was north from Koch's Landing. 
The preparatory gun was fired at 2:30, and the starting 
signal five minutes later. All the boats were hovering as 
near the starting buoy as possible, and, with the exception 
of Sirrocco, Friar and Kite, all got across the line within the 
five minutes' interval allowed after the second gun fired. 
Mistral, Idle Hour, Lorraine, Sophia, Avers and Kismet 
was the order at the start, and the run to the first buoy was 
very nretty. The yachts hung together well, but after turn- 
ing" the first buoy they were more scattered. 
It was Avers' "wind, and from the position of sixth at the 
start she worked up to first before she had entered on the 
second leg of the course. She was neatly handled, and with 
her sail area, nearly twice as great as any of the others, she 
easily outsailed them, as she needed but a zephyr to make 
her foree ahead. 
The boats finished the first round in the following order:

The second time around was much tbe same as the first. 
Avers continued leadine, followed by Mistral, Kismet and 
three Pewaukee boats in a bunch, and had not the, wind 
failed on the beat south and the run back to the finishing 
stake, the Pewaukee Y. C. would undoubtedly have been 
victorious. 
Sirrocco, sailed by Fred. Wallber, finished second on cor- 
rected time. She was thirteenth to get away, but the good 
judgment of her skipper made up the time lost at the start, 
and had the wind been a trifle heavier, it would have com- 
pelled Avers to reef, and in that event Sirrocco would have 
unquestionably won out, as she is a heavy weather boat. 
Lorraine also did some good work. She was sailed bv A. 
R. Hafhaway in the absence of her owners, Messrs. Schiller 
& Ranch, who are East on business. 
Most of the yachts were cleverly handled, but a number of 
them lost several minutes by being caught and detained in 
an eddy ofi: Minnemacber Island. On the last round. Kite, 
Henrietta, Allida and Ducky Daddies dropped out. The rest 
finished as follows:

Rooster. 
The yacht Rooster has been sold. Charles F. Adams 2d, 
of Quiiicv, parted company with her Saturday at Plymouth 
after she had added another victory to the many that have 
made her the peer of the third class 
Melbourne McDowell was the purchaser, and he bought 
her principally to defend the Davenport cup, which is to be 
raced for next week. 
It was just after the finish of the Plymouth race yester- 
day, when the little Rooster was tied up to the float, that 
Mr. McDowell shot Fanny D. up alongside and said to Mr. 
Adams: "I'll take her at that figure." 
"All right," replied the latter, and almost before the 
yachtsmen standing around realized it, Rooster was being 
towed behind Fanny D. across Plymouth Bay to Duxbury. 
As the little prize-winner pulled out from the wharf, 
George Adams stepped out on the piazza of the yacht club 
house to get one last look at her, and waving his hand, said 
affectionately, "Good-by, my sweetheart." 
Charley Adams will sail Rooster in the first cup race next 
Thxirsday, this being one of the stipulations in the sale. 
Roo-ster was built in 1895 from designs by J. R. Purdon 
and Mr. Adams. She is a fast boat, but manv yachtsmen 
give as much credit to the crew as to the boat for the record 
she has attained, and say that Rooster without the Adams 
boys will be like a jug without a handle.— Doston. Qlobe,

THE story of the W. C. A. meet, by our Western corre- 
spondent, gives a picture of a sort of summer vacation life 
that is utterly foreign to canoeing and all similar healthy 
and wholesome sports. It has, no doubt, attractions for 
many, but it is most unfortunate that a snort like canoeing, 
with all its possibilities for pleasant, wholesome and invig- 
orating outdoor life, should be made a mere sideshow to a 
summer hotel. There must still be a few canoeists of the old 
sort in the West who are capable of organizing a real camp- 
ing meet or a cruising meet, and if the sport is ever to be 
rescued from its present condition the work must be com- 
menced very soo». 
The W. C. A. Meet. 
Chicago, 111., Aug. 19. — Nothiug further transpired last 
week to give the character of an active canoe meet to the 
camp of the W. C. A. Two members, Messrs. S. C. Hanks 
(Nancy Hanks) and H. M. Curtis, both of Madison, came 
into camp Sunday morning, having ridden over on their 
wheels from Janesville. some twenty-four miles distant. 
They were on a little bicycle tour, and dropped into the 
camp as part of that diversion. In this instance may per- 
haps be seen one of the influences which have so tended to 
cut into the sport of canoeing in the West. The in.«idious 
bicvcle is so easy, so cheap and so pleasant. Bobbv Lamp, 
of Madison, did not again appear, but Mr. J. D McWorther, 
of Milwaukee, came out for a couple of days. On Sunday, 
Mr. N. B. Cook, who had for two davs been feeling ill, con- 
cluded to break camn and return to his home. Mr. Dickens, 
canoe Avis, also left for home, and the Forest and Stream 
representative followed suit, there seeming no further pros- 
pect of a bit of news. Vice-Com. Holmes and Rear-Com. 
Merrill remained with the Madison men to hold the fort for 
yet a day or so, and grumbled loudly at the secession of the 
departing ones. 
Of all tbe branches of sport in which there is occasion to 
do reporting during the year, I like canoeing better than 
any. It is such a clean, such a beautiful, and such a purely 
amateur sport that it has a fascination distinctlv swi generis. 
Yet of all the lines of sport met with during the year, none 
is so poorlv represented as this. Instead of two dozen active 
boats, we had here only half a dozen. Instead of a big and 
lively camn, we had a very .small (though very lively) one. 
It is too bad, but there is no use trying further to hope 
against hope. The reasons are not known, and do not mat- 
ter; but the facts do not point to any large meet of the 
W. C. A. next year, if indeed there shall be any at all. We 
need better times, more money, more leisure, more some- 
thing. 
But if the majority of the members choose to go to one 
place or another, to camo in one hotel -yard or another, it is 
really no one's business but their own. It was openly ad- 
mi' ted by the Mahn-a-wauk men who made this year's meet, 
that they did not expect very many tents, and were out sim- 
ply for a pleasant little vacation camn". with some idleness, 
and not too much work attached to it. If taxed with the 
summer hotel or summer girl idea, they each and all, like 
little men, admitted the soft impeachment, and didn't care 
who knew it. < 
LIFE AT A SUMMER RESORT. 
For a man who really has a wish to get near to nature and 
not to get next to a summer hotel and its appurtenances, 
there can be few more miserable experiences than to be 
forced to go into prison for even a single week at one of the 
big caravanseries which line all the larger lakes for the first 
150 miles out of every great city such as Chicago. Of course, 
we who were encamped had not so much to dread, but could 
sit afar and watch the prisoners walk their dally treadmill. 
At times we could even, to a certain extent, join in the pro- 
cession of the miserable ones, who thought they were doing 
the correct thing at having a good time- The whole business 
made a very nice little study in human nature, and perhaps 
it may not, after all, be entirely outside the province of news 
matter to speak of this in some measure as it really was, so 
we may have a notion of what a canoe meet in a hotel yard 
really is. 
We will suppose our tents to be pitched upon the bluff a 
little back from the water, somewhat hidden from the public 
view by their sheltered position under the forest trees. A 
path runs along the edge of the bank, in front of the camp 
and in this path the jolly mariuers, after the labors of the day 
or evening or morning are over, and after the boats are made 
safe at their dock, at once make plans for conquest. This 
they call "setting the trap." At the foot of the flagpole the 
Association cannon is planted, a long line running back to a 
spot near the tents, where it is not visibly connected with 
any given canoeist. This arranged, the trap is_"baited," for 
this purpose an orchestra of guitar, mandolin and banjo 
being employed. (No names may be used in. such descrip- 
tions, but it will do to say that the music is very good.) 
After the trap is set and baited, it may be that some one sees 
a boat pass by beyond the dock, theflutterof white garments 
visible from its thwarts. "Hello, girls!" sings out some 
graceless soul. Most undignified and improper is such an 
accosting without introduction, and greatly to be deplored. 
Yet it is not of record that in any single instance has such a 
salute been resented. The wave of a handkerchief and the 
merry answering shout is the surety in every case that the 
greeting is acknowledged and appreciated. It has gone 
abroad in the land that the canoeists are peculiar in their 
manners, but not at all dreadful. As the boat passes by the 
water front, the members of the orchestra may step to the 
brink with tlie glance of connoisseurs. If the occupants of 
1/he craft If ulfil expectations, they are kindly and sweetly
