FOREST AND STREAM. 
The coloring of the country about the Avon is 
beautifully clear and brilliant. The roses and 
poppies seem redder and the violets more blue 
than in our own more favored climate. 
From Hanceport westward, a road winds some 
10 miles between, well kept and cleanly tilled 
farms with fertile meadows and oat fields and 
thriving apple orchards to Grand Pre, the home 
of Evangeline. 
Save the few decrepit willows left at the edge 
of the reclaimed meadows and an occasional old 
poplar, standing prim and aloof from its neigh¬ 
bors, there is little trace left of the Acadians. 
The street and houses of the French village have 
long been obliterated. The site of what may 
have been the forge of Basil is marked, and from 
it you look out over the meadows of the dyked 
land to the distant yellow shallows off the mouth 
of the Gaspereau and beyond to the softened 
purple outlines of Blomidon. 
There is no doubt of the beauty of the land or 
of the fertility of the soil. The contrast—like 
that of an oasis in a desert—is heightened by the 
poverty of the barren, spruce-sprinkled ledges of 
the fog-soaked coast of Fundy and the granite 
and underbrush of the interior. 
To picture the old conditions, now so thor¬ 
oughly effaced, you must look back along the 
years and then, if your vision is keen, you may 
see the villagers, the winding street and the 
houses straggling along toward the river mouth. 
You can easily realize how the Acadians must 
have prized their home and how and why they 
so stubbornly kept up their hopeless fight against 
the English.' On the Avon, 7 miles above Hance¬ 
port, is the town of Windsor and across the land, 
less than two hours by rail, is Halifax.

Tri-Club Cruise. 
Last Friday the cruise of the combined fleets of the 
Philadelphia Corinthian Y. C., the Seawanhaka Cor¬ 
inthian Y. C. and the Atlantic Y. C. came to an end at 
Newport. The yachts had gathered at Oyster Bay over 
Saturday and Sunday, and on Monday, July 16, the fleet 
took its departure for Morris Cove. The attendance of 
yachts was very gratifying, and the boats entering on 
port-to-port runs was of chief interest by the presence 
of the meetings of this year’s new boats. The second 
day’s run was from Morris Cove to New London. Queen 
withdrew and left the cruise for an overhaul prior to 
Larchmont race week. Effort reversed the previous day’s 
performance by beating Irolita. 
The third day the run was made from New London 
to Shelter Island. The race was very interesting, and it 
was the only day on which the yachts had any windward 
work, and they had 12 miles of it, beating up Gardiner’s 
Bay. Irolita and Effort had a close fight, Effort ulti¬ 
mately winning by a small margin. Sue, Mr. Lucken- 
bach’s 30-footer, beat the actual time of Invader, in cov¬ 
ering the course. 
The fourth day of the cruise was passed at Shelter 
Island, where arrangements had been made to stay over. 
Water sports were held during the day and a clambake. 
The evening was devoted to dinners and balls. 
The fifth day, and the last one of the cruise, the 
course was from Shelter Island to Newport. The day 
brought fog and mist from S.W., with a light breeze. 
Irolita was again defeated by Effort, which had out¬ 
sailed every yacht in the fleet. Effort started in tow at 
once for Larchmont. 
The success of the cruise was most agreeable to its 
promoters, the weather having been good, with good 
breezes. The fleets disbanded on Friday night, and the 
cruise came to an end. The summaries of the races are 
appended:
