FOREST AND STREAM. 
Canoeing at the Baffalo Exposition, 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
In 1901 all roads will lead to Buffalo; this on account 
of the Pan-American Exposition, which will be held here 
from May until October. If the meet goes to the Western 
Division next year, nearly all of the Eastern canoeists 
will stop off here en route and will take in the Exposi- 
tion-. It seems to me that canoe builders and manu- 
facturers of camping outfits and sporting goods in general 
might make it a point to combine in the selection of space 
for exhibit and give a practical illustration of their several 
wares. The canoe builders in particular would have an 
opportunity to show their boats under most favorable 
circumstances. I should like to see this taken up, think- 
ing it would prove interesting for all interested in aquatic 
sports, and it would do much to influence those looking 
for some good, healthy sport, and would give the old 
canoeists something to brighten them up a bit.

CANOEING NEWS NOTES. 
We have recently received the year book of the British 
Canoe Association for 1900, a small volume neatly bound 
in white canvas, uniform with the previous editions. 
The officers of the Association are: Com., T. H. R. 
Bartley, captain of the Mersey C. C. ; Vice-Com., 
J. P. Oliver. Penarth Y. C. ; Rear-Com., Harold Clay- 
ton, Penarth Y. C. ; Hon. Sec'y-Treas., George Huntley, 
Northumberland Y. C, Redheugh Bridge Works, Gates- 
head-on-Tyne, England. The meet commences on July 
8, at Warsash, on the Hamble River, near Southampton. 
The book contains an account of the meet of 1899 at 
Falmouth, by Vice-Com. Clayton, with several views of 
the camp and canoes and a portrait of Mr. G. U. Laws, 
winner of the Lough Erne challenge cup at the meet.

A new pattern of folding detachable centerboard for 
canoes and boats, fitted entirely outside the keel without a 
trunk or opening, has been devised by C. J. Smith, of 
Hollev. N. Y.

A correspondent in California asks for information as 
to some good rivers for canoe cruising in Minnesota, Wis- 
consin or Canada, going up one river and returning by 
another, the trip to occupy about two months. 
The first of the series of races that will be held semi- 
weekly during the summer, under the auspices of the 
Orillia C. C, took place on the course at Couchiching 
Beach Park, June 15. The beach was thickly lined with 
spectators to the number of about 1,500. The event, which 
practically opens the summer season, was a success in 
ever}' way. The spectacle of nearly 200 canoes, skiffs, 
steam launches and sailing yachts which lined the course 
was one that is seldom presented in Canadian summer 
resorts. The course officials were: Com. John Scott, 
manager of the Dominion Bank, starter and judge at 
finish; Mr. Geo. T. Tipping, judge at turn. The dis- 
tances were one-quarter mile with turn, except for the up- 
set, which was one-quarter mile, without turn. 
Following are the results : Men's double, i, E. Curran — 
C. Bow : 2, P. Wade — ^J. Stephens ; the Bracebridge dou- 
ble, Perry and McNeil, finished a good third. Singles, i, 
G. Bow; 2. G. Sinclair; 3. J. Stephens. Lady and gent

these columns, also any news notes they may care to have printed. Ties 
on all events are considered as divided unless otherwise reported. Mai 
allsuch inatier to Forest and Stream Publishing Company, 346 Broad- 
way, New York. 
The Public Ledger, of Philadelphia, states that the semi-monthly 
shoot of the West Chester Gun Club was won June 28 for the third 
consecutive time by Paul Brinton, one of the promising young 
members of the organization. The Brinton brothers, Paul and 
Charles, have taken a rapid stride to the front in marksmanship, 
leaving the old shooters far in the rear. At the present rate of 
shooting thev will carry all prizes offered by the West Chester Gun 
Club. Brinton killed 23 birds out of 25. Gill, , Holland, Hoar and 
Ford were well up in the match. The regular shoot was followed 
by several sweeps of 25 birds. . - . • _ 
In the second day's shooting for the Grand Prix de I'Exposition 
at the Cercle du Bois As Boulogne. Paris there were scored 
eighteen successive kills before Baron de Dorlodot missed. Tod 
Sloan was shortly afterward beaten by a nice bird. Those who 
killed all 4 birds at close shooting were Mr. A. G. Spalding, M. L. 
Drevon, Mr. J. Banwell. Comte Clary, MM. R. Moncorge-Marcel, 
Avril, Scribot, De Bons, C. Robinson, D. Mackintosh, J. De- 
ments, Maurice Faure, Oreste Galetti, J. Pederlozi, Wadsworth 
Rogers, JL,eon De Lunden, Hans Marsh, Henri Journu, C. Bethune 
and Paul Lunden. The pigeon handicap was won by Mr. Wads- 
worth Rogers at 23^^ meters (77ft.), with 18 consecutive kills. 
Mr. F. B. -Vallance, treasurer of the Hamilton Gun 
Club, under date of June 29, writes us as follows: 
"Kindly claim, on behalf of the Hainilton ^Gun Club, 
Sept. 1 and 3 for our summer tournament. MonSay, Sept. 3, 
Labor Dav, being universally observed as a holiday, wc are 
claiming Jr.tes with Sunday intervening that wc may have the 
pleasure .if making our friends more intimately acquainted with 
the charming locality of the most beautiful city on the lakes, at 
the most pleasant season of the year. We trust they will appear 
as glad to meet us there as during our annual winter tournament. 
For their liberal patronge during the past ten consecutive years 
we beg to thank our friends again, and we can only assure them 
that we are fully prepared for many happy reunions. Programmes 
mailed on application.'"

The programme offered at John Wright's shoot on July IS, at 
Interstate Park, is a mixed orie at live birds and targets. Of the 
former there are two events, one at 7 and one at 10 birds. The 
Sanders-Storms trofthy will be competed for._ On Aug. 16 the an- 
ual Tooth Tournament will take place. After an all-day shoot, 
the wolves and the lambs will enter the main event at scratch, no 
handicap, and the question as to whether teeth of the lambs and 
wolves differ in execution will be fairly well settled. There 
probably will be a high average to encourage the class men to 
aet through the entire menu. 
The Saale, the great steam.ship, which was one of tliree swept 
out of existence by the fire horror on Saturday last, was the one 
on which Mr. Paul North _ returned home from abroad week 
before last. In the destructive fire, the Bremen and the Main 
were also lost. The North German Lloyd Steamship Co. lost 
also its piers and warehouses, at Hoboken, with an appalling 
loss of life and property. The Saale seemed particularly un- 
fortunate, as three or four men were also lost off her during 
Mr. North's voyage. 
Much interest is manifested in the Interstate Association's 
tournament, given for the Canonchet Gun Club, at ^Tat-ragansett 
Pier, R. I., on July 11 and 12. Guns, ammunition, etc., shipped 
care of Mr. J. C. Tucker will be delivered on the shooting 
grounds; to reach the latter take the Narragansett Pier 'of ' Sea 
View R, R. There are ten events each day ; six at 15 targets, four 
at 20 targets; entrance $1.50 and $2. Shooting commences at 
9 o'clock.

At Resica Falls, Pa., the Camp Oriole Rifle and Gun Club was 
formed with a strong membership. Officers were elected as fol- 
lows: E. Bartlett Hayward, President; George Winship Taylor, 
Vice-President; Lilburn T. Goldsborough, Secretary; Horace 
Brown, Treasurer; McDonald R. Kemp, Scorer. 
1?he hosts of friends of "Uncle Jake" Pentz will rejoice on learn- 
ing that he is again up and about, he appearing in the gun dis- 
trict on Friday and Saturday of last week. He has lost tnuch of 
his robust figure, weighing now only 135, and living on the at- 
tenuated diet of Vichy and milk; but he is gaining steadily, and 
that IS encouraging.

The contest for the E C cup between Messrs. F." i^.. Sanriock and 
C. VV. l-eigcnspan on the grounds of the South Side Gun Club, 
Aewark, last Saturday, resulted in a victory for the former by a 
.score of 45 to 44. They shot at 50 targets, unknown angles. ~" " 
IS the first defeat which Mr. Feigenspan has encountered 
long series of contests. 
This
