Gananoque, Ontario. 
CUSTOMS REGULATIONS.

ment of Canada in regard to the entry of canoes, tents, and outfits, 
and an official will be stationed on the island. Canoes and out- 
fits for use at the rneet will be entered free of duty. Duty must 
be paid on all provisions imported. 
A camp store will be opened, where all necessary provisions, 
kerosene, ice, tin- ware, etc., will be for sale at reasonable prices. 
A public mess will be arranged for under the direction of a 
competent caterer. The rate will be ?1.25 per day. 
CAMP SITES. 
To members who have attended the meets of 1903 and 1904, 
nothing need be said to recall to their memories the beauty and 
attractiveness of this island as a camp ground. To all members 
who have not as yet enjoyed the privilege of camping on this gem 
of the Thousand Islands, and meeting their brother canoeists 
from the North, South, East and West, we can only say, you do 
not realize what you are missing. We publish herewith a sketch- 
map showing sites previously occupied by some of the clubs, and 
the names of a few members who can be written to for informa- 
tion in regard to the available sites in their immediate locality. 
It is expected that a number of members will run their own 
mess, and every effort will be made to make this popular. Bring 
your mess-box and cook outfit and be a real camper. Pack your 
canoe in about fotir inches of straw, sew it up in burlap, and 
ship it ahead by freight. Pack your camp outfit in an old trunk, 
and bring it with you free as baggage. 
Overhaul your camp outfit now! See whether the old tent will 
serve once more, if not, buy another. We have had prices on 
regular wall tents quoted to us by reliable makers, here in New 
York City, as follows: 7x7, 7ft. high, 3ft. wall, 8oz. duck, from 
$6.50 to $8; fly for same, 8oz. duck, from $3 to $3.50; 9x9, 7ft. 6in. 
high, 3ft. wall, 8oz. duck, from $8 to $10; fly for same, 8oz. duck, 
from $3.50 to $4.50. These prices include poles, pegs, ropes and a 
bag for the tent. 
This is the cheapest style of tent in which there is any head 
room, and we urge members to buy and own their own tents. 
Forest and Stream's advertisers would be glad to correspond 
with you and quote prices. 
RENTAL OF TENTS. 
If, however, there are any members who prefer only to rent 
tents, we have arranged to furnish, 7x9 wall tents, without fly, at 
$5 for two weeks; fly for same, at $2.50 for two weeks; 10x12 wall 
tents, without fly, at $8 for two weeks; fly for same, at $4 for two 
weeks. No tents will be supplied for less than two weeks, and 
must be ordered not later than July 15. 
COTS, BLANKETS, ETC. 
We have on hand and will rent, wire cots and mattresses, $2 
per week; upholstered cots, $1 per week; blankets, cotton, 50 
cents per week; comfortables, cotton, 50 cents per week. There 
are only a few of each, so send in your application early. 
TENT FLOORS. 
The rental of tent floors for two' weeks, or the season will be: 
All sizes under and including 7x9, $3; over 7x9 and including 
10x12, $4; over 10x12, per 100 sq. ft., $4.

floors, rented tents, cots, blankets, etc., must be made not later 
than July 15, to Frederic Andreas, Chairman Camp Site Com- 
mittee, 1 Broadway, New York city.

unless accompanied by a check or P. O. money order made 
payable to the order of Frederic G. Mather, Treasurer, covering 
the amount ordered. Under no circumstances send cash in letter.

TRANSPORTATION. 
The customary concession to members of the A. C. A. and 
their families attending camp, viz., a round trip at the rate of one

been granted upon the usual terms by the Trunk Line Associa-

Members will pay full fare to Clayton or Gananoque, obtaining 
from the selling agents certificates, which, when properly in- 
dorsed and vised at Sugar Island, will enable the holders thereof 
to return to the point of starting by continuous passage at one- 
third of the regular rate, provided such full fare is seventy-five 
cents or more. 
All such certificates must be presented to H. M. Stewart upon 
registering at Camp, together with twenty-five cents for each 
vise fee by special agent, who will be in attendance August 14. 
No certificate will be valid for passage ticket without compliance 
, with these rules. 
Members arriving at Gananoque or Clayton by rail or steamer 
should take the steamer Valeria for Sugar Island, and secure an 
A. C. A. ticket at the rate of 75 cents for round trip, with 
one canoe and duffle carried free. 
The running schedule of the Valeria will be published in later 
numbers of Forest and Stream.

by continuous passage to destination, without stopover, to Aug. 
23, inclusive. There can be no deviation from this rule. 
Stich certificates carry no concession as to amount of baggage 
handled, beyond that of first-class passage tickets.

different divisions, and all members contemplating going are

on June 4. Conditions, 200yds., offhand, at the 25-ring target. 
Nestler was champion for the day with the good score of 227. 
Payne was high man on the honor target with 70 points. A 
gusty wind from 3 to 6 o'clock quarter blew all day. Light 
fair, and weather warm, hovering around 90. Our old veteran, 
Mr. Hasenzahl, is over in California on a business trip, and while 
there he visited the new range of the Los Angeles Rifle Club 
and made scores as follows: 209, 201, 200, 198, 203. A stiff wind 
blew across the range at the time. They shoot from one hill to 
another. He was received very cordially by the boys, who are a 
jolly set. He will come back as far as Davenport in time to be 
present at the Central Sharpshooters' tournament.
