io the Members of the American Canoe Association: 
This year the camp site committee is wwking hard to make the 
■camp the most attractive in the history of the A. C. A. Net 
only in respect to the situation and laying out of the camp lias 
care been taken, but particular attention has been paid to' ;lie 
charges for camp outfits, as will be noticed in the accoinp^nving 
list. As this has only been accomplished by carelul estimates'and 
much work, it is hoped that the members of the A. C. A. and 
their friends will show their appreciation by attending the meet 
m large numbers. 
Hay Island, which has been selected as the site of the 1899 
rneet, is about 1% miles south of Gananoque, on the Canadian 
side, among the Admiralty Group, and for beauty of situation is 
far ahead of any of the recent camp sites of the A. C. A. The 
island is indented by two bays directly ODposite each other, with a 
narrow level space between where the headquarters will be located. 
There is a fine sand beach m each of the bays, good for bathing. 
, The shore line in front of the main camp is quite broken, affording 
many picturesque spots for the tents, while the outlook on all 
sides is beautiful, many small islands being near. Careful at- 
tention will be paid to the laying out of the ladies' camp in the 
most attractive, convenient and comfortable manner. The center 
■of the island is well_ wooded with birch, beech and maple, and the 
banks are covered with pines and cedars. The waters vo^ind sbout 
are considered the best for bass fishing at the islands, while pickerel 
and pike are also abundant, many people coming from as far as 
Alexandria Bay for the fishing. 
What will be of especial interest is that the sailing course is pai- 
ticul.nrly fine. tl;e locai men assuring us that there is f;eld'om a dry 
when on one side of the island or the other good wind and water 
may not be found. It is expected that there will be at least 200 
111 camp, and it is brped e\ eti rno.-e will attend. 
The Caradian canoeisrs will go to Gananoque in order to reach 
the island, while the Americans will proceed to Clayton and 
thence by su-amer Valeria, which stops at the camp dock: feno 
times a cay. 
Lints, with prices, follow, and it is earnestly honed that those 
who are sure of going to camp will send in their orders for camp 
outfits as soon as possible, so as to be out of the way of those 
who may decide later, and thus somewhat lessen the work of the 
camp site committee. 
Rent of tents per week: 7x9, $1,50; 10x12, $2; 12x14, S3; 
]2xl7, $3.25. 
Rent of tent floors: For tent 7x9, $2.40; for tent 10.xl2, $4; 
for tent 12x14, 15.25; for tent 12x17, $8; porch 6x10 for 10x12 
tent, $2.25. 
Rent of wire cots, $1.25 per week; rent of mattresses, $1.25 per 
week; rent of camp beds, 50 cents per week; rent of camp-chairs, 
20, 30 and 50 cents per week.
