used on bottom, and telephones, etc., but the 
diver knows that the fewer wires and parapher¬ 
nalia his tender has to handle, the better his 
chances of getting out in case of accident. 
So, taking it altogether, the diver does 
not lead a very easy life. He works hard and 
takes big risks, and motor boat owners may 
be thankful for the services of a capable set of 
men. If his boat sinks, far from giving her up 
as hopelessly lost, he may see her afloat and 
as good as new in two or three days.

Knickerbocker C. C. 
Saturday, Sept. 14, was devoted to mak¬ 
ing the annual ladies’ day one of the most suc¬ 
cessful in the history of the club. There was 
quite a large gathering, which included former 
members of the club, and also many men 
prominent in the American Canoe Association. 
An interesting program was arranged by 
E. H. Stockwell, chairman of the Regatta Com¬ 
mittee, which resulted in the finishes being- 
very close and exciting, especially the open 
sailing, which was won by a nose. The most 
laughable incident of the afternoon was a sup¬ 
posed accidental capsizal of an amorous couple 
and their rough rescue. 
While refreshments were being served, the 
orchestra rendered selections, and the following 
events took place:
