FOREST AND STREAM 
343 
Pacific Plotel, Chicago, Ill., on Saturday, March 
16. Dinner will be served at 6:30, preceded by 
a business meeting, to be called at 3 p. m. at the 
hotel. The previous dinners at the Grand Pacific 
are a sufficient guarantee as to the excellence of 
the meal and its service. The price has been 
fixed at $1.50 per plate. 
The success attending the previous gatherings 
this winter leads to the belief that this reunion 
will be the best in the history of the division, and 
no efforts will be spared by those in charge to 
make it a lasting remembrance for all who are 
fortunate enough to be present. 
p'rederick A. Fenger, A. C. A., 5789, will give 
a talk, illustrated by lantern slides, on an 800- 
mile canoe cruise in the West Indies, taken by 
him last winter. 
Commodore Kretzmer, of New York, will be 
here to speak for the administration, and to tell 
of the plans made for the success of the 1912 
camp at Sugar Island, St. Lawrence River, Aug. 
9-23. Ex-Commodore Thorn, of Buffalo, who so 
greatly aided in the organization of the Western 
Division in 1899, will also be here, and can be 
counted on to say something of interest to all 
members of the A. C. A. 
The selection of the location for the annual 
camp and meeting of the division, July 4-8, will 
be made at the meeting preceding the dinner, and 
representatives from the various localities, who 
desire to bring their choice for the camp before 
the meeting, are asked to be on hand with maps 
and other necessary data, and to voice their sen¬ 
timents as to the best campsite and plans for the 
camp. 
The division has gained largely by new mem¬ 
bers and by transfers since Jan. i, with a num¬ 
ber of prospective members yet to be heard from, 
and this opportunity is taken to impress upon 
members the necessity of losing no time in se¬ 
curing the applications of friends for publica¬ 
tion and election to the A. C. A. at once, to in¬ 
sure their names appearing in the new Year 
Book. 
.\s this will be the final reunion of the winter 
season, and as the division will be honored by 
the presence of iMessrs. Kretzmer and Thorn as 
its guests, it is specially desired that we have a 
record-break'ng attendance, and to that end mem¬ 
bers are urged to signify their intentions of being 
present, and to bring with you all the canoeing 
well wishers in your neighborhood.
