AuG.4.1900.1 ■ FOREST AND STREAM. 
One cliaracteristic trait that will be remembered by- 
many was his earnestness and enthusiasm in aiding 
every one, friends and strangers alike, in rigging and 
improving their boats. W. P. S. 
John Cammeyer Mowbray (A. C. A., 2243), ex-secre- 
tary of the New York C. C, thirty-one years of age, died 
in New York city on July 17, after a short illness. He 
had an infinite capacity for work (which undoubtedly in- 
directly caused his death), and that is near to genius. He 
was attracted to canoeing in 1891, when in poor health, 
and became a member of the New York C. C. He very 
soon developed into one of the best sailors of the club — a 
strong hand with the paddle, an expert in rigging, and was 
by far the cleverest man in the club at building and re- 
pairing. He trained patiently, and by scientific exercise 
became a fine all-round athlete. His w5rk as secretary 
was a model for all others to follow without a hope of 
equaling. He had a genial manner and an attractive 
personality, which brought him many friends, who will 
long remember him kindly and will sorely miss his honest 
smile and cordial greeting. Bowyer Vaux.

CANOEING NEWS NOTES* 
Two or three times during this season accidents have 
occurred to people using canoes. The trouble is that 99 per 
cent, of the accidents that occur from these small craft 
happen to men who, knowing nothing about them, at- 
tempt to take liberties which would prove dangerous in 
the St. Lawrence skiff. A good many of the canoeists 
of this vicinity have been waiting for some time for an 
accident, which will probably occur before the season is 
over, to a young man now amusing himself with his first 
canoe, Avhich he sails around with a girl who cannot 
swim aboard. Some day if he is particularly fortunate 
and does not drown either the girl or himself, he will 
look back on the chances which he is now taking and 
feel his hair rise under his hat. A girl is all right in a 
sailing canoe if she can swim; a girl is also all right in a 
paddling canoe, provided she does not have a wild in- 
clination to stand up and shriek if a bit of scrap blows 
aboard, but a girl that cannot swim in a sailing canoe is 
an invitation fo an accident that is almost too pressing 
to be denied.— E. T. Keyser in the New York Times.

Under the title of "Woodcraft" a little pamphlet has 
been issued by the American Compressed Food Co., 
jnakers of the Standard Emergency Ration. The pam- 
phlet is very appropriately made, the paper being in 
imitation of birch bark, the outer white bark for the cover 
and the inner pink bark for the leaves. The book 
contains a number of useful hints for campers and also 
recipes for camp cookery.

The accompanying pictures are from photos taken last

the placid life of the Dutch canals and meres. 
A. C A* Membership. 
Northern Division — D. W. Rooke, Rochester, N. Y. 
The location of the present A. C. A. meet makes it 
possible for American canoeists to extend their return 
trip so as to enjoy one of the most delightful steamboat 
trips in the country. On returning form Muskoka the 
steamers of the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Co. may 
be boarded at either Hamilton or Toronto for a cruise 
of nearly 400 miles to Montreal, from which point New- 
York and Boston may be qu'.ckly reached by rail. The 
route of the steamers through Lake Ontario and down 
the St. Lawrence River is most picturesque and inter- 
esting. Many old A. C. A. men know the river well_ about 
Clayton and Gananoque, but they have seen nothing of 
the beautiful Bay of Quinte, the head of the river about 
Kingston and the famou.s rapids between Ogdensburg 
and Montreal. Beautiful as they are, the Thousand 
Islands are but a sample of the great river, which every 
American should see and know. Pleasant as the trip up 
or down has always been, the new steel steamers recently 
added to the line have added much to it, their accomtno- 
dations being convenient and luxnrious in the extreme.

New Jersey State Rifle Association. 
WiTU its programme for its ninth annual meeting at Sea Girt, 
N. J., Aug. 31 to Sept. 8, inclusive, the New Jersey State Rifle 
Association issues the ioUowmg circular: 
To the Riflemen of the United States: 
Events which have transpired within the last year have demon- 
strated more iully than ever the need of an active national organ- 
ization to represent the riflemen of the United States. 
It was oniy recently shown m revolver shooting circles that a 
match with any other country was out of question as long as there 
was no representative body to accept and send challenges and 
control aftairs. Plence the formation of the United States_ Re- . 
volver yVssociation, which quickly brought about an international 
match with France. 
The .Spanish- American and British-Boer wars have caused such 
an awaking ot interest in rifle shooting that the next few years 
will see the sport brought prominently to the front, the outcome 
of which will be that the experts of this and other countries will 
want to try their skill against each other. 
An effort was made last winter to organize a league of Ameri- 
can riflemen, but owing to obstacles in the way of perfecting the 
organiz.ation by correspondence it was deemed advisable to let 
the matter rest until a favorable opportunity presented itself _ to 
get together enough of those interested to hold an organization 
meeting. 
No better time for this could be chosen than during the week 
of the interstate matches at Sea Girt, N. J., when hundreds of the 
most prominent riflemen of the country will be gathered together 
for the contests. 
The New Jersey State Rifle Association has kindly offered the 
hospitality of its spacious club house on the range for this pur- 
pose and the meeting will be he'd there on Wednesday evening, 
Sept. 5, at 8 o'clock. 
Everyone interested is invited to be present. If yoti cannot be 
present and would like to have your name enrolled as a charter 
member you may do so by snding your name to the undersigned. 
In all probability the yearly dues will be $1 and the initiation 
fee not more than $2. 
The co-operation of every patriotic citizen, as well as every 
shooter, is needed to put this sport on the plane commensurate 
with its importance as a factor in the making of a "world power" 
of the United States. 
The following gentlemen, prominent in military and sporting 
circles, are interested in seeing the proposed organization a suc- 
cess and have signified their intention of becoming charter mem- 
bers^ Waj.-Gen. Wesley Merritt, U. S. A. (retired); Gen. George
