June 7th marks the opening of the eighth sea¬ 
son of canoe activity for the Ka-ne-en-da Canoe 
Club. This energetic little canoe organization 
has grown from a membership of 16 in 1908 to 
a club of 70 active canoeists. The club’s home 
is situated on picturesque Onondaga outlet, be¬ 
tween Onondaga Lake and the Seneca River; no 
better waters ever flowed for canoe and paddle 
than this beautiful central New York stream. 
With its several tributaries it is canoeable for 
over a hundred miles, winding its way from Sen¬ 
eca Lake to Ontario. With such ideal cruising 
waters at its doors it is but natural that the

' LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN. 
Fellow Members A. C. A.: 
In this issue of Forest and Stream appears the 
official Regatta Program for the Thirty-sixth 
Annual Meet of the American Canoe Association 
at Sugar Island, August 6th to 20th, 1915. 
Eevery endeavor has been made by the Re¬ 
gatta Committee to arrange a program that 
should prove satisfactory to the racing men and 
every effort possible will be made to have the 
races run as scheduled. 
Friday, August 13th, is designated as “Pad¬ 
dling Day.” It is thought that by devoting one 
entire day to the paddling races, it will not only 
do away with any uncertainty as to just when 
these races will be run, but will also give every 
one an opportunity to enter the paddling events. 
Saturday, August 14th, is “Central Division 
Day.” The Division will hold its meet and 
regatta on the island that day. The following 
four Division Trophies will be raced for by Cen¬ 
tral Division men: 
Central Division Sailing Trophy—The Vice- 
Commodore Cup, the Ka-ne-en-da Canoe Club 
Trophy and a Central Division Cruising Trophy. 
The program also includes several open A. C. A. 
races. 
On Monday, August 16, the Wilderness Cruis¬ 
ing Contest will be held. Particulars of this 
interesting and instructive contest was published 
in the March issue of Forest and Stream, whose 
editor has so kindly offered to present a hand¬ 
some Trophy Cup to be known as “The Forest 
and Stream Wilderness Cruising Trophy.” This 
cup will be in addition to the prize offered by the 
association. 
It is sincerely hoped that our cruising canoe¬ 
ists will turn out strong this year and that they 
will enter this contest in goodly numbers. Re¬ 
member, it is not a race but a test of skill for 
the all-around canoist and camper. 
Great care will be used in selecting appropri¬ 
ate prizes for all the events, and everything pos¬ 
sible will be done by the Regatta Committee to 
make the 1915 meet the best ever. 
Canoeably yours, 
A. F. SAUNDERS, A. C. A. 6187,

Iv. C. C. is stronger on the cruising end of canoe- interest in this sport, far from it. We hold an
