Forest and Stream is the official organ of the American Canoe Association. 
Atlantic Division, A. C. A. 
The annual meet and camp of the Atlantic 
Division was held at Ward’s Point, Tottenville, 
S. 1 ., New York city, June 28 to July 6. The 
camp opened with the arrival of Edmund vom 
Steeg, Jr., general meet chairman, early Satur¬ 
day morning. At noon the old duffle lighter 
Safety arrived with the canoes of the members 
from the Hudson River and those of Messrs. 
H. D. Murphy and J. A. Newman, of Win¬ 
chester, Mass. 
During the week over 200 members and 
guests registered at headquarters, including 
Messrs. Ralph B. Britton, the present challenger 
for the international canoe sailing trophy; 
Charles E. Archbold, the last challenger, both 
of the Northern Division; Paul Butler, the last 
defender; H. D. Murphy, J. A. Newman, Dr. L. 
T. Brown, all of the Eastern Division. The 
Vice-Commodore, A. D. Berning, of the At¬ 
lantic Division, arrived on Friday morning, July 
4. It was surprising to see so many of the old- 
timers at this meet. The New York C. C., 
holder of the international canoe sailing trophy, 
was well represented. An extensive regatta pro¬ 
gram was arranged which included decked, open, 
sailing, paddling, novelties, ladies and non-mem¬ 
bers’ races. Handsome first and second prizes 
were awarded in all events. 
Two perpetual trophies have been donated 
this year, one by Edwin Gould for club fours, 
single blades, and the other by the members of 
the division for club fours, double blades. These 
represent the championship of the Atlantic Divis¬ 
ion each year. 
Follow prizes were awarded the winners ‘of 
all trophy events. The Inwood C. C. scored the 
most number of points and was awarded a large 
A. C. A. flag. The heats of the international 
trophy and ladies’ races did not enter in the 
scoring.

Rhode Island Canoe Racing Association. 
The first regatta of the season, held by this 
association, was held at Harris Pond, Woon¬ 
socket, R. I., on July 4 , at 2:30 p. m. 
Four clubs of the association were entered 
for this regatta, but only the Pawtuxet, Swastika 
and Winnesuket took part in the races. 
The races were all very keenly contested, 
and in spite of the fact that a high wind blew 
on the starboard quarter of the canoes as they 
came down the course, the events were paddled 
in good time with little or no fouling. The 
winners of the events were as follows: 
Novice Single, Class B, Quarter Mile—First, 
L. Flagg, of Pawtuxet C. C., 5 points, time,
