JAMES B. REGAN 
Proprietor of the world-famous Knickerbocker 
Hotel, one of the largest and most fashionable 
hotels in New York, says: 
“No day is complete for me without 
at least one pipeful of mild, aromatic 
Tuxedo to chase away big and little 
worries and bring me complete bodily 
and mental ease. ”

Tuxedo Chases the 
Jigger-Jumps 
It’s always picnic time for Tuxedo 
smokers. They make every day a 
holiday by packing their pipes full of 
Tuxedo soon as they see a big or little worry starting down the 
street toward them. You’re bound to be a happy man when you 
smoke this mild, pleasant tobacco. It s pure sunshine in a green- 
and-gold tin—mellow, rich-ripe and perfect. 
The Perfect Tobacco for Pipe and Cigarette 
Siipcrb leaves of cream-of-the-crop Kentucky Burley — selected for 
rn *. ness and delicious fragrance — treated by the famous “Tuxedo Process” 
which gentles the tobacco so it cannot bite your tongue: that’s Tuxedo! 
. ^ ou can smoke pipeful after pipeful without the slightest throat-irrita- 
tion or tongue-bite. Tuxedo is restful and refreshing, comforting and 
cheering- all that perfect tobacco should be. Next time you feel as if life 
was Setting to^ be gosh-awful, just go round to any dealer anywhere and 
say: iuxedo. It’s a synonym for sunshine.

most of the time. However, there is no danger 
and any canoeist who has had a little experience 
can easily navigate. This is a very pretty trip 
to Hackensack. If you wish and have the time 
you can continue, making arrangements with 
some one to ship your boat home or to the start 
of the next trip. 
Ramapo River. 
This is somewhat longer and more exciting 
than the Hackensack. The start is made from 
Suffern, but those who are willing to chance a 
“ducking” (as a good canoeist never carries 
around) should start from Tuxedo. A few miles 
south of Tuxedo there are several drops; to be 
fairly safe go to the left, to be game go to 
the right, with some one below. 
If you leave from Suffern and wish to make 
a real pleasure trip take a light outfit and buy all 
your supplies beforehand. Hudson River canoe¬ 
ists can ship from Edgewater or the week end 
previous paddle to Piermont, N. Y. shipping 
from there. 
The first few hours there are many rifts, 
bridges and dams-—the left side will in most cases 
have the deeper water. At Oakland there is 
another dam. If you think there is six inches 
of water take a chance and go over light. After 
passing through the Pompton Lakes, keep your 
eye open for the big dam, and carry around the 
left. Do not pass under the bridge below until 
you have looked it over. Take the second stream 
to the right below the bridge (the current will 
be against you), there will be another exciting 
drop, then after that there will be clear paddling. 
You can conveniently finish the trip at Moun¬ 
tain View or go further south if you wish. 
Wanaque River. 
Ship to Hewitt on the Erie—Owing to ser¬ 
vice and possibility of delay arrange to remain 
at Hewitt the night previous. What you wish 
to keep dry, put in the bag. It will be neces¬ 
sary to be ever on the alert, and have a partner 
whose eccentricities with the paddle you under¬ 
stand fully, for you will have no time to ask 
“which side shall we take” otherwise it will be 
“what shall I go for?” 
Go to the left on the first drop, also carry 
around the first dam to the left. This stream 
runs into the Ramapo below Pompton Lakes, 
where you follow the Ramapo River trip to 
Mountain View. 
Raritan (North Branch). 
Start at Far Hills, which is on the Passaic 
and Delaware Branch of the D. L. & W. Put up 
Saturday night at North Branch, where there is 
a hotel close to the river, just below the dam— 
about fifteen miles from Far Hills. Next day 
continue about thirty-five miles to Bound Brook, 
from Far Hills to North Branch the water is 
shallow and can only be made at high water. 
Passaic River. 
Start at Chatham on the D. L. & W.—There is 
practically no fast water on this trip, but a good 
steady current. The scenery in May, however, 
when the leaves are coming out is very fine, and 
may be compared to the Everglades in Florida— 
especially at high water. The river winds its 
way in and out among the trees, and you must 
be ever on the lookout not to lose the main chan¬ 
nel. The trip can be discontinued at many 
points—depending upon the time at your disposal 
MOTOR FOR A CANOE. 
For lovers of canoeing here is a type of port¬ 
able motor installation that should prove inter¬ 
esting. The frame of the motor rests on a board 
about 2 ft. long, which distributes the weight 
very thoroughly so as not to strain the canoe. 
There is a movable tube surrounding the shaft 
of the motor which controls the direction in 
which the propeller is faced and this controls the 
mo\ ement of the boat—even reversing it just by 
moving the tiller. Surrounding the above-men¬ 
tioned tube is another larger tube flanged at the 
bottom. This tube is run up through the bot¬ 
tom of the canoe till the flange (faced with a 
rubber gasket) is tight against the bottom of the 
canoe. A nut over the top of this large tube 
clamps the canoe, the foundation board, and the 
motor frame securely as though in one piece. 
This makes a perfectly water-tight joint and a 
neat- job of installing. No thwarts are used. 
The motor does not touch the canoe at any 
point; it rests on the board only. 
The great advantage of this type of installa¬ 
tion is that it keeps the weight of the motor low 
down—a vital point in a canoe—and does not 
mar the canoe in any way. One hole through 
the bottom is all that is required. This in¬ 
stallation is exclusive with Joymotor made by
