After new idols. We have tried the Class C canoe, and 
'inclassified small boats, without any result; possibly it 
may be because we did not confine ourselves to them, and 
made them only a side issue, but it seems to me that there 
are plenty of clubs and associations to foster single-handed 
cruisers of all kinds, without the A. C, A. doing it. The 
canoe, if rightly designed and built, is all right. It is 
what we have known, used and lived with for twenty 
years, and has proven a true and faithful friend and 
companion. If our Association covered but a small terri- 
tory, and the canoe was used almost entirely on the coast 
line where the water is quite open, perhaps we would like 
a larger boat than our present measurements allow; but 
as the conditions are, where we have the meets so widely 
scattered and we have to ship our boats so far, and where 
so much of our work is done on inland waters, it seems 
to me that we must stay very near what we already 
have, as to measurements. I do think we might add an 
inch, possibly two, to our present beam. This would give 
us a much more comfortable and roomy boat, without 
adding much to weight or bulk, and at the same time she 
would paddle almost as easily; but if we went beyond that 
size, it would be too hard to paddle, and the minute you 
do that you no longer have a canoe. 
Canoeing ought to be canoeing, not boat sailing, and if 
the A. C. A. gives up one for the other, who will take 
it up? 
Do not think I am condemning small sailing craft of 
any kind, for I am not, but, on the contrary, I believe 
thoroughly in them where they are suitable, but for adop- 
tion by the A. C. A. it seems to me a canoe "must be 
capable of being efficiently sailed and paddled."

AMannel "96, G. Barley 128, 
Brockville, Ont., May 13. — Another canoe association 
was launched here Saturday night when a meeting of the 
delegates representing five canoe clubs assembled and 
formed what is to be known as the Canadian Canoe Asso- 
ciation. The meeting was characterized by harmon}' and 
enthusiasm, the delegates present were E. A. Black, 
Ottawa C. C. ; E. R. McNeil. Britannia B. C. : H. S. Sea- 
man, Y. M. C. A., Brockville; C. A. MacNaughton.B.R.C, 
Brockville; A. G. Dobbie, Bohemians, Brockville; A. G. 
Powell and T. Drummond, G. T. R. B. C, Montreal; A. 
McPhee and F. Donald, Carleton Place C. C. The La- 
chine B. C. was represented by proxy and the Kingston 
Y. C., though not represented, heartily approves of the 
scheme. The object of the meeting was to promote per- 
petual canoeing in Canada, protect it from professionalism 
and establish canoe championships for war canoes, fours, 
tandems and singles for the Dominion. Also to promote a 
kindly feeling among the members of canoe clubs. Other 
features of the constitution are that the membership fee is 
fixed at $15 for each club. The annual meeting is to be 
held June i. Protests are to be filed within two hours 
after a race, accompanied by $25. War canoes are to be 
30ft. long over all, canoes built previous to 1899 excepted. 
The election of officers resulted as follows: Com., E. 
A. Black, Ottawa; Rear-Corn., C. A. McNaughton, Brock- 
ville ; Sec'y and Treas., E. R. McNeil, Ottawa ; Executive 
Committee — A. G. Davie, Bohemians; C. A. McNaugh- 
ton, B. R. C; H. S. Seaman, Y. M. C. A.; A. McPhee, 
Carleton Place; J. Powell, G. T. R.; W. A. Brown, 
Ottawa; E. R. McNeil Britannias; J. M. Mowat, King- 
ston; Lachine to be appointed. It was decided to hold the 
first regatta at Brockville, the date to be fixed by the 
B. A. A. A., who now hold the war canoe championship. 
The war canoe race will be half-mile straightaway. The 
meeting decided to be in no wise antagonistic to ' the 
A. C. A. and a resolution to this effect was passed.

Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club. 
San Francisco, May 6.— The Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club 
shoot to-day was crowded. Four new members have joined us, 
among them R. W. Edgren. the famous hammer thrower and 
athlete He is an artist, and will probably make his mark with the 
single pellet also. Several lady and gentlemen visitors were inter- 
ested in our shooting, Col. J. H. Burns being one of the number. 
He is one of the oldest shooters here, and remarked that he shot 
Schneider (a former famous rifle maker here) a rest match on our 
range abotit thirty years ago. He loves the revolver, and has 
competed in the State matches with it for years. Lncle bam has 
employed him as guard to many tons of gold and silver across the 
continent. Dr. J. T. Guisti came to bid us farewell, and he takes 
our best wishes to Europe, where he goes to reside for a time. He 
is wedded to the revolver, and will visit the revolver resorts m 
Europe and send us the news, etc. , ,- , ^ t, ,i 
The day was off on erood shooting, owing to the light. Dorrell 
and Washburn shot Daiss and Mannel a 50-shot match with rifle, 
the former team winning by -58 points. Dorrell earned oft tirst 
honors with rifle. Pape remarked thusly: "Dorre , you deserve 
ereat credit for your 46 in such a changing light. Barley tried 
Peters 22 shorts in his pistol (S. & W.) and carried off first 
honors with 39 in a new .22 Winchester single-shot rifle, bottle- 
neck shell and was greatlv pleased with 26 on his first score at 
50vds.^ and 109 on one entry at 200yds. There was a general 
scramble for Daiss buttons to-day, which are won on most flags 
as) on first three scores. They were won with rifle by Dorrell. 
Dais<; and Mrs. G. Mannel, and with pistol by Young. Hoadley 
and Robinson, who wear them until next shoot. Our shooting Is

The boys are stuck on the .30-30 Winchester carbines, and are 
getting them ready for the deer season. G. W. Hoadley bought 
himself a new one last week, and in his first ten shots, after three 
sighters, made a very fine group — seven of the ten shots feeing in 
an inch rine. but a little to the right. The target is so good that 1 
send duplicate to show what this rifle will do with a 1 to 12 bullet 
and L. & K. smokeless powder. 
Dr. B. H. l-'oreman, of lone, Ca!., sends me his original target 
of 50 shots with pistol. All the shots are in the 7in. ring but two, 
Liie being an S and the other a 9, shooting at 7 o'clock. He is 
sliooting in great form with the pistol and rifle. The Areata, 
Tuolumne and Stockton clubs are getting ready for the season; 
and Sacramento is forming a pistol club. 
May 20. — Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club shoot for all comers' 
and mambers' medals and prizes was well attended and fine average 
work was done. With rifle Dorrell beat his best average work to 
date, making better than 6in. ring average for 50 consecutive shots. 
Daiss beat Young in a 50-shot Creedmoor match with revolver, mak- 
ing 42 Sin. bullseyes. -Several new members made their debut at 
the target. Many visitors were interested, among them several 
ladies. Mrs. Page shot her husband's .45-70 with as much ease and 
grace as some men would a .22 rifle. She has a grizzly to her 
credit with this same gun, shooting him behind the ear and blow- 
ing out the end of his spinal column, as her husband said. He 
said he would rather pin his faith on it than the .30-30s in an 
emergency.
