FOREST AND STREAM 
April 6, 1912 
Vincentown to the same terminating point, a 
distance of twenty-five miles. This year's 
cruise will be on the north branch, as before, 
starting at Brown's-Mills-in-the-Pines, going 
through New Lisbon, Pemberton, Birmingham, 
Smithville and Mt. Holly, at each of which 
places are dams around which the canoeist 
portages his canoe and dufHe. 
Four miles below Mount Holley dam we find 
the most delightful camping site in many miles, 
viz.. Cedar Spring. Any size camp can be ac¬ 
commodated, and there is to be had an abund¬ 
ance of good spring water. A feature of the 
cruise will be the campfire on the evening of 
May II at this spring. The “Old Guard” know 
what these campfires are and consequently are 
always on hand, so let the younger members 
take notice of the manifestations of interest in 
these events by the older members and come 
along and join us, and help make this cruise 
a memorable one. 
Benjamin A. Sleeper, a young and enthusiastic 
A. C. A. member, is chairman of this commit¬ 
tee, and by addressing him at Burlington. N. J., 
anyone can receive inside and advance informa¬ 
tion concerning this cruise.

petes at the Olympic games in Sweden shortly after¬ 
ward. R. L. Spotts, of the New York A. C., one of the
