HEADQUARTERS— COM. MacKENDRICK AND SEC'Y-TREAS. BEGG. 
season, was Com. MacKendrick's old racing canoe Mac. 
This year the Sailors' Union was not to the fore. There 
was not the requisite number, ten, to make the trial race 
compulsorjr, and none was sailed. From such opinions 
as were expressed during the meet it is evident that there 
is no ardent desire on the part of any one to revive the 
sailing canoe, either in the racing machine class, a re- 
stricted fast cruiser class or a one-design class. As far 
as Ave heard any opinion as to the new Royal C. C. cruis- 
ing class, it was unanimous to the effect that these craft 
were too large for such transportation as is necessary 
in this country. 
The great interest this year was in the paddling" racing", 
there being an unusual number of paddlers, and some 
very good ones, in camp, largely from the Toronto C. C. 
With the finest sailing waters in the country at its very 
doors, Toronto C. C. has no sailing canoes except Mab, 
and there is not a sailing man in the Toronto C. C. to- 
day. The club brought up two war canoes, the onlj^ 
ones in camp, and several good races were paddled, but 
between scratch crews, as it was impossible to get any 
other and even diflicult to make up the requisite number. 
The programme of the races was as follows:
