The Eastern Division meet of the A. C. A. 
was held at Moswansicut Lake, Scituate. R. I., 
the camp being located on a wooded bluff over¬ 
looking the lake. 
The weather on the opening day of the camp 
was very threatening, but the occasional showers 
did not dampen the enthusiasm of the members. 
Nearly all members near Providence had pitched 
their tents by noon time and the out-of-town 
clubs began to arrive early in the afternoon, 
nearly one hundred members being registered by 
night fall. 
The special races for canvas-covered cruis¬ 
ing canoes were held shortly after 4 o’clock, the 
officials for these races being as follows: 
Referee, G. C. Cheney, Dedham Boat Club;

In the evening the members and their friends 
enjoyed a vaudeville performance in the mess 
hall, the rain putting a damper to any camp-fire 
entertainment. 
After the entertainment was over the mem¬ 
bers assembled before the headquarters’ tent 
where a large fire was built, the weather having 
cleared so as to make camp life enjoyable. 
Sunday was spent very quietly, with no formal 
programme, many of the members enjoying 
themselves playing baseball. 
After dinner the annual meeting of the Divis¬ 
ion was held in front of the headquarters’ tent 
with Vice-Commodore R. G. K Hicks in the 
chair.

chosen: Dedham, E. A. Rolland and Erederick

F. W. Hopkins; Swastika, W. G. Heath and H. 
F. Mulcahey. 
A recess was then taken to await the commit¬ 
tee’s work. 
After the meeting was reconvened the recom¬ 
mendations of the committee were all adopted. 
The offices of vice-commodore and purser were 
left open. The other officers elected were as

lowing clubs which entertained the Division on 
Saturday evening: Swastika, Pawtuxet, Wachu- 
sett, Wonkituk, Triquetra and Saskatchewan 
canoe clubs. 
The racing events Monday began at ii o’clock 
and were not finished until about half past three 
in the afternoon, the wind blowing a gale across 
the lake. The water was so rough that the 
utmost skill was not sufficient to prevent the 
canoes capsizing or swamping in many instances.
