Centredale Gun Club. 
Centredale, R. I., Aug. 10.— We had the pleasure of having 
Tack Fanning, of California, with us at our special shoot yesterday. 
The day was a perfect one for shooting, and the score which Jack 
made, 98 out of 100, over the magautrap was the best score ever 
made in this State, and I think will stand so for a long time. 
There was a large crowd present to see the expert break targets, as 
Rhode Island is generally overlooked by most of the experts Jack 
shot in fine time, and made a great many friends for Gold JJust 
powder. The rest of the shooting was away below the average, 
whether it was because Jack was present or not I don t know, 
but I suppose we all have off days, and this was surely an oil 
day for all except Jack. 
We were all glad to have him with us, as a more plesaant 
ana agreeable person it would be hard to find. We arc always 
glad to have shooters of his caliber with us, as it creates new 
interest in shooting. . . . , 
We hope that he will soon visit us again, and all other experts, 
as the club stands ready to throw targets free as long as they 
want to shoot, because we think it makes new shooters, and that 
more than repays us for the targets:

Club, held to-day, are given below. The targets were thrown 
swiftly, but nevertheless Leroy broke 93 out of 100. Grant leads 
in the season's merchandise event; Worthing second, Allen third, 
Stork, Stanley and Barrett fourth, and close to the leaders. 
Leonard and Donaghue close to fourth. With three more shoots

Nineteenth. Annual Meet. 
Stave Island — St. Lawrence River. 
Aug. 5-19. 
For the third successive time in late years the Amer- 
ican Canoe Association has camped among the Thou- 
sand Islands of the St. Lawrence, the scene of many 
of the most successful of the early meets. As it has 
happened by mere chance, last year, with the meet held 
tinder the management of the Northern Division, with a 
Canadian commodore, the camp was held on Grindstone 
Island, just on the American side of the boundary. This 
year, with the Atlantic Division taking the meet in turn, 
and a commodore from New York, the camp site selected 
for various reasons is just on the Canadian side of the 
imaginary line through the channel of the St. Lawrence 
River. 
It is quite possible that the A. C. A. has pitched its 
tents for the last time on old Grindstone, at least on the 
site endeared to the older men by so many recollections, 
as the entire northeast point has within the year been 
stone; but each separate part of the camp, each charming 
in itself, is discovered in turn. 
When Stave Island was first selected as an A. C. A. 
camp, nine years ago, one important consideration was 
the expense of a suitable wharf. It was decided to utilize 
the existing wharf, on the southwest side, and the en- 
tire camp was located with reference to this one con- 
sideration. The result was a large, straggling camp, with 
a long distance between the wharf and both the main 
and ladies' camps, the mess tent being in an inconvenient 
location. In returning to Stave Island this year, the 
officers had in mind the faults of the old camp, and 
decided on an entirely new arrangement. The old wharf 
was ignored, and a new one was built on the little bay 
just north of the old main camp, between it and the old 
ladies' camp. This bay, formed by two rocky points, is 
a pretty bit of water, and back of it is a little open space 
of level ground, between the two ridges of land which 
form the points. Here the headquarters is located, close 
to the wharf, with the semicircle of officers' tents, as 
usual, the camp-fire, etc. A very good camp store is 
located near the wharf, and a little back from the head- 
quarters tents is the big mess tent, under the charge of 
Mr. McElveney, who has catered for the meets for the 
past three years. The meals, at the regular price of $1 
per day, are very good indeed, and well served. Back 
of the main mess tent is the kitchen and the quarters for 
Mr. McElveney's staff. 
This year, after several seasons of absence without 
leave, the official entertainer of the A. C. A., L. W. 
Seavey, is again 1 present, with Mrs. and Miss Seavcy. A 
big tent has been specially provided for him, and on Aug. 
15 he will attempt a repetition of the circus of 1889, 
famous in A. C. A. annals. It is too much to expect 
that the great success of that year will be duplicated, as 
such an "aggregation" was never brought together be- 
fore, and probably never will again be seen under can- 
vas. Vaux is married and settled, and no longer seen 
at the meets. Warder is somewhere on the Pacific Coast, 
still busy in growing up with the country. Paul Butler 
THE POINT. 
purchased by the State of New York for a park. Under 
what conditions the land will be open to the public is 
not yet known, but it is hardly probable that it will be 
available again to the A. C. A. At present it is guarded 
by big sign boards, "State Land." 
Though so close together, facing each other across a 
mile of water, Grindstone and Stave islands are very 
different, the latter being decidedly the more pictures- 
que. The east slope of the big hill at Grindstone is an 
ideal camp ground for a comparatively large camp, beau- 
tifully leveled, with its broad outlook over Ell Bay, and 
sloping naturally and gradually to the pebbly beach. Its 
one defect, as proved by experience, is the lack of 
shade, there being no trees on it, though there is a 
fine grove, adjoining on the north shore. Apart from the 
lack of shade, the disposition of the ground is such as 
could not be improved on for camping purposes. 
At Stave Island the conditions are very different. The 
land is broken and rocky, and quite thickly wooded, less 
convenient for camping, but very much more picturesque. 
The shores are very irregular, jutting out in several 
rocky points with beautiful little bays between, instead of 
the long, straight line of beach at Grindstone. The 
ground adjacent to the water is much higher, some of 
the tents being 10 to 15ft. above the water, and yet very 
close to it. The ground is rough and rocky in places, and 
much more difficult to navigate after dark. 
• The outlook from the camp is quite different from that 
of Grindstone, it is more circumscribed, and in spite of 
the view to the west, over the many small islands, to the 
roofs and spires of Gananoque, there is nothing to com- 
pare with the magnificent panorama from old Grindstone 
Hill. The. situation, however, has a special beauty of its 
own; just across from the camp, the passage being bare- 
ly a hundred yards, is another island, McDonald, or Little 
Stave, making a beautiful picture, with its rocky points 
and the little Gananoque light on the edge of the channel 
between it and Stave. Going from the camp in any direc- 
tion, une comes upon picturesque points and bays, and 
snug secluded nooks. For the lounging paddler, the 
artist and the photographer, Stave Island has many 
more charms than Grindstone Point. Within the camp 
the same characteristics are found, the appearance of 
the camp from- a distance is far less striking than the 
manv white tents and gay flags in full view at Grind- 
has not kept up his practice in Roman chariot driving, 
and in fact none of the stars of the 1889 circus still illu- 
minate the meets. At the same time Seavey is at work 
with all of his old-time energy and mystery, and it is 
not safe to say that the master mind that hatched a 
veritable sea serpent on a hill top on Willsborough 
Point, and fairly rivaled the professional display at 
Manhattan Beach with his impromptu storming of 
Sebastopol on Indian Bay, may not make a new record. 
Near the mess tent is a tiny dark room, 4X5, built 
by Mr. A. A. Lewis, who secured such fine views of 
last year's meet. He is already at work about the 
camp, and his dark room is a great convenience to the 
amateurs. - 
In relocating the camp the officers moved the ladies' 
camp (Squaw Point) a little further to the north, imme- 
diately north of ' the ridge back of headquarters, in a. 
pretty little bay. There is open ground in patches, -and 
also plenty of shade, and the grotmd ; is quite . High .in 
places, some of the tents being well up fronv -the water; 
This part of the camp is in every way superior: to #he-' old- 
Squaw Point of Grindstone. The ladies'' camp is well 
patronized this year, many members having their wives 
with them. It is probably larger in proportion to the 
main camp than ever before. 
The main camp is practically on the same site as in 
1889, just across the wooded ridge on the south of 
headquarters. The grotmd is very uneven and rocky, 
but what is lost in convenience is more than compensated 
for by the pleasant and picturesque aspect of the camp, 
the tents being scattered among the trees in irregular 
groups, instead of being ranged in regular lines on an 
open plateau, as at Jessop's Neck and Grindstone. Each 
plan has its advantages, and the choice is a mere matter 
of individual preference. For a very large camp the 
regular streets, with compact groups of tents each under 
its club burgee, is the more convenient and more 
sociable; but for a smaller number the other plan is as 
good, at the same time much less formal and con- 
ventional. 
This meet promises to be about up to the average in 
point of numbers, a matter for general satisfaction, in 
view of the general experience in all lines of sport this 
vear 
By the change of location it is possible to view the
