CANOEISTS TEST THEIR SKILL. 
Annual Regatta of Philadelphia Canoe Club on 
Schuylkill June 13th. 
The fastest paddlers of thirteen canoe clubs in 
and near Philadelphia matched blades this af¬ 
ternoon in the eighth annual regatta of the 
Philadelphia Canoe Club, on Schuylkill River. 
Seven events on the card provided an oppor¬ 
tunity for all sorts of watermen to display their 
talents, and this evening, following the races, 
there will be a dance at Colony Castle, the 
club house. The races were from ioo yards to a 
half-mile, for one and two men, with single and 
double blades, in pleasure and racing canoe. A 
broo mrace and a tilting contest were the high 
lights of the program. 
The first race was a quarter-mile event for two 
men with single blades. Creelly and Sholl, of 
the Lakanoo Club, won from Black and Rose, of 
the Algonquin Club. Dunning and Kress, of the 
Philadelphia Canoe Club, were third. 
The second event, quadruple double blades, 
racing canoes for half mile, was won by the 
Lakanoo Club (Stockton, Simon, Page and 
Tones). Time, 3 minutes, 51 1-5 seconds. 
The third event, one-man single blade (com¬ 
modore’s race), for half mile, was won by 
George Kerber, Philadelphia Canoe Club; second, 
Earl Kerber, also of the Philadelphia Canoe 
Club. Time 5 minutes, 45 2-5 seconds. George 
Kerber won the Commodore’s Cup for the fifth 
consecutive and final time. 
The fourth event—one man—double blades— 
quarter-mile race—was won by Greely, Laka¬ 
noo Club; second, Tidd, Algonquin Club; third, 
Alteneder, Philadelphia Canoe Club. Time, 2 
minutes 40 2-5 seconds. 
To The Trap Shooter 
We present this issue, trap shooting 
number, as a tribute to the ever growing 
sport of clay bird shooting. With base¬ 
ball, trap shooting shares the title “the 
National Game.” Its devotees increase at 
the rate of two thousand a year. Prac¬ 
tically every yacht club has introduced 
trap shooting to while away the bleak 
months when the yacht is out of commis¬ 
sion. Forest and Stream is the only maga¬ 
zine to recognize the growing popularity 
of target smashing by putting out a spe¬ 
cial number devoted entirely to the gentle 
art for gentlemen. The man who has not 
taken up clay bird shooting has missed 
rare sport, and we would suggest a try at 
the nearest club at the first opportunity. 
A prospect is a good business asset, but think 
of the big advantage of an INTERESTED 
prospect. That’s where we come in. When 
your advertisement appears in Forest and 
Stream, we deliver your sales’ matter to the 
sportsmen of America, who, at the outset, are 
favorably disposed to patronize their own pub¬ 
lication. 
Fifth event, Broom race, 100 yards, won by 
Sholl, Lakanoo; second, George Kerber, Phila¬ 
delphia C. C. 
Sixth race, 4 men, single blades, racing canoes, 
half mile. Won by Philadelphia (Svenson, 
Cress, Durman, Gailey) ; second, Algbnquin (M. 
Gregory, Black, Reynolds, Rose). 
Last event, Tilting tournament, won by Laka¬ 
noo (Sholl and Creely) ; second, Philadelphia 
(Svenson and Alteneder). 
The weather was fine, a large crowd was in 
attendance and the regatta was a great success.

American Canoe Association. Memorial Day 
Cruise. 
The Annual Memorial Day Cruise of the 
Atlantic Division was run this year down the 
south fork of the Ranoocas Creek from Vincent- 
town. New Jersey, to the Delaware River at 
Delanco. 
A number of the men shipped their canoes to 
Vincentown and camped ‘there on Friday night, 
May 29th. The next day a party which had come 
up on the early tide joined them at Lumbertown 
N. J. The bunch camped at the Big Spring above 
Centerton on Saturday night and were met at 
tide water by several launches which had made 
the trip on Sunday to join the other cruisers. 
The weather conditions were fair and the 
water high, making the cruise most enjoyable. 
This stream is the kind described by Dr. Van 
Dyke in his “Days Off’’ and has many spots of 
great beauty.
