Atlantic Division Annual Meet. 
The annual meet and camp of the Atlantic 
Division was held at Hermit Point, on the Hud¬ 
son River from June 30 to July 4, and proved 
one of the most successful meets in the history 
of the division. Despite the excessive heat from 
which all New York was sweltering at the time, 
ninety-eight members signed the register at head¬ 
quarters, and a census taken showed that fifty- 
six tents had been pitched. 
During the four days of the meet visitors of 
both sexes were numerous and fifty-four of them 
registered. 
Things started to move on Friday evening with 
the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Broomhead and son 
from Philadelphia and E. M. Southard, of Bor- 
dentown, on the first trip of the launch char¬ 
tered by the transportation committee for the 
meet. These visitors were unab e to get their 
outfits from the express agent at Riverdale, so 
that some lively hustliwg was done among those 
members present, and in a short time they were 
provided with a varied assortment of clothes 
and blankets, aand were assigned to unoccupied 
tents for the night. Early next morning work 
started on the erection of the big headquarters’ 
tent, and soon that was erected, and the flags 
raised to the salute of the camp cannon. Be¬ 
fore the tired workers had time to rest, the toot 
of the launch whistle was heard, and all hands 
shipped on a voyage of adventure to Ludlow for 
a cargo of ice, food and milk, etc., for the ac¬ 
commodation of the visiting members'. Early 
in the afternoon the camp began to be popu¬ 
lated and by 4 o’clock nearly all of the tents 
were pitched. 
The official business of the camp was sched¬ 
uled for 6 o’clock, and promptly on time the 
members of the nominating committee took their 
places under the fiy of the big headquarters tent, 
the following c.ubs were represented: Brook¬ 
lyn, Eastmond and Wilkin; Fort Washington, 
Dietrich and Latham; Hiawatha, We.dman and 
Maloney; Knickerbocker, Kretzmer and Crom¬ 
well ; llakanoo, Fort and Sleeper; Manhattan, 
Freide; Qui-Quin-Gus, Walker; Red Dragon, 
Quasebart and Wiison; Yonkers, Quick and 
Ounther; \ apewi, Ayres and Southard; Cres¬ 
cent A. C, Hogan. 
The meeting was called to order and the vice- 
conmiodore was elected chairman. 
Motion carried that the secretary cast one 
ballot for each of the following: Henry B. Fort, 
of Lakanoo B. C-, Vice-Commodore; A. D. Ber- 
ning, ot Inwood C. C., Rear-Commodore; M. E. 
southard, of Yapewi A. C., Purser. 
Executive Committee—F. T. Wilson, Red 
Dragon C. C.; R. F. Tims, Fort Washington 
C. C.; E. B. Ayres, Yapewi A. C.; B. Frank 
Cromwell, Jr., Knickerbocker C. C.; E. F. 
Maloney, Hiawatha C. C. 
H. L. Quick to represent the division on the 
board of governors. 
Racing Board—E. V. Walker, Fort Washing¬ 
ton C. C, to fid the unexpired term of H. L. 
Quick, resigned; C. T. Wiison, Red Dragon C. 
C., for three years. 
It was then suggested with the approval of 
the members of the nominating committee that 
Frederic Andreas, Knickerbocker C. C., be 
recommended to the executive committee of the 
A. C A. at their meeting as the candidate of 
the Atlantic Division for commodore. The 
nominations were posted on the bulletin board 
and at 9 o’clock the same evening the vice-com¬ 
modore called the annual meeting to order. The 
report of the nominating committee was ap¬ 
proved. Motions carried that the secretary cast 
one ballot for each of the names as read by the 
vice-commodore. 
U11 motion a committee was appointed to draw 
up a set of resolutions showing the deep appre¬ 
ciation of the division for the long and faithful 
services of Robert J. Wilkin as chairman of the 
board of governors. 
The vice-commodore appointed as committee 
men George P. Doug.ass, Joseph Eastmond, 
Percy Hogan. 
Judge Wilkin then expressed his reasons for 
declining a renomination for election on the 
board of governors. After short speeches by 
the vice-commodore elect and Messrs. Quick and 
Hogan, the meeting was adjourned. The usual 
A. C. A. songs were then sung around the camp¬ 
fire, and at 10:30 taps was sounded by the bugler. 
Sunday morning was spent in sprucing up 
camp and men in the hopes of receiving visitors, 
which in most cases did not prove a disappoint¬ 
ment. About 12 o’clock everybody turned out on 
the beach to watch the sailing races and cheer 
the victors, not forgetting to smile at the hard 
luck tales of the vanquished. 
On Sunday evening the camp was viciously 
attacked by an army of mosquitoes, and all at¬ 
tempts to repulse the pests proving unavailing, 
the camp was soon quiet, and the stiffness only 
broken by slaps and cuss words. 
On Monday evening the entertainment com¬ 
mittee provided a cold punch at the camp-fire 
that brought the blessings of all present on their 
devoted heads, and the evening passed all too 
quickly in song and recitation. 
Tuesday morning broke bright and clear, and 
the final races were decided amidst the applause 
of the interested spectators. 
After the presentation of prizes in the after¬ 
noon by Vice-Commodore Tims, the bugler 
sounded the retreat, and the flags were lowered 
to the accompaniment of the final salute. Very 
soon after the tents were lowered, and the canoes 
packed to the gunwales with duffle started for 
home after giving a rousing cheer for the officers 
and committees. The launch pulled away from 
the dock carrying with it many old and new 
friends from out-of-town, and the division meet 
of 1911 was a thing of the past. 
This meet was notable for several things, 
prominent among which were the number of 
members from the further parts of the division 
which tended to make this the most enjoyable 
of recent meets, the efficient work of all the 
committees and the perfect arrangements of the 
camp, regatta and transportation committees, the 
efficiency of which was proved by the fact that 
no complaints were registered at any time. 
Special mention should be made of the fact 
that ice and milk were to be bought from the 
camp-site committee, and orders were taken and 
filled for supplies.
