LEFEVER ARMS COMPANY .... Syracuse, N. Y. 
( Patented , Feb. 20. 1912.) 
SPORTSMEN’S GLASSES REVOLUTIONIZED 
by our new Akopos Crystal lense—a double shade of amber and veridian, and our own 
exclusive product—far superior to the old style, obsolete amber lense. The Akopos 
Crystal eliminates not only all the ultra violet rays, but also all the violet and blue 
rays which are so irritating to the eye. 
The amber lense is less than 50 per cent, efficient, because it cuts out only part of 
the ultra violet and does not affect the latter two. 
Before buying a field glass or binocular, it will pay you to communicate with us. 
THE F. W. KING OPTICAL CO. 450 Ellastone Building, Cleveland, Ohio 
high-speed power boats, is the most costly ever 
offered in any branch of sport. It is valued at 
$22,500. It is a reproduction in silver of the 
famous “Flying Mercury,” modeled by Gio¬ 
vanni da Balogna. The trophy stands five feet 
five inches high and the base is 47 inches in 
diameter. Other valuable prizes to be striven 
for at the carnival are the $5,000 cup presented 
by Commodore S. O. Richardson, Jr., for the 
International Yacht Race, and the $4,000 cup 
offered by Sir Thomas Lipton for the winner 
of the Columbia Y. C.’s race. 
Atlantic Division Meet. 
The annual meet of the Atlantic Division 
was held on the grounds of the Philadelphia 
Canoe Club, Wissahickon, Pa., from July 3 to 
7, inclusive. Although within the limits of pic¬ 
turesque Fairmount Park, the camp could not 
have been more exclusive had it been situated 
miles from any habitation. Wednesday after¬ 
noon found several tents pitched, and in the 
evening several more camps arrived, including 
Miss Mae Zuk and Fred Bloempot, via automo¬ 
bile from New York. Thursday morning all 
the energetic ones were mustered together for 
a forty mile trip up the Schuykill River to his¬ 
torical Valley Forge and return in canoes and 
motor boats. Despite a very hot day, everyone 
thoroughly enjoyed the trip. In the evening an 
informal dance was held in the club house. The 
cruise up the Wissahickon Creek scheduled for 
Friday had to be abandoned owing to low water. 
Friday night was ladies’ night, with another in¬ 
formal dance, which was well attended and en¬ 
joyed by all. Saturday morning found the camp 
very much astir, getting ready for the regatta. 
Members and visitors arrived every hour, and 
by the time the races were started, the club 
house veranda and grounds were crowded. The 
results of the races were as follows:

Central Division Annual Meet. 
Ideal weather conditions greeted the loyal 
members of the American Canoe Association 
who attended the annual meet of the Central 
Division, held on the Allegheny River, at

dependence Day, July 4, and the breeze was

carried through, a synopsis of the result being- 
appended herewith. 
Other events were pulled off during the 
week and a general open house for all the clubs
