AMERICAN CANOE ASSOCIATION. 
Fellow Members Central Division, A. C. A.: 
As you all know, this is Central Division year, 
an honor that comes to the division but once in 
three years. We should show our appreciation 
of this honor by doing everything possible to 
make it a big year in the history of the asso¬ 
ciation. We are a large division in territory 
and rank second in point of members. We have 
a fond hope of some day bringing the Central 
into first place—not with the idea of beating the 
other fellows, as outside of a canoe race that is 
not the A. C. A. spirit at all—but we do feel a 
bit proud of our size and realize what great pos¬ 
sibilities of growth the division offers if we keep 
plugging. In Commodore Spaulding we have 
an executive of whom the Central Division is 
justly proud. It feels that the association could 
not have selected a better man for this high of¬ 
fice. Every one of us is confident that he will 
hold one of the most successful general meets 
in the history of the A. C. A. 
Now, fellows, young and old, it is up to the 
I Central to give him our hearty support. ' It is 
right up to the division to make a big showing 
at the Meet this year. 
It is up to us to show the association that 
while the Central Division holds second place in 
| point of numbers it stands first when it comes to 
holding a General Meet. Those of you who 
; have been to Sugar Island surely need no urging 
to come again. 
To those who have not been there, let me say, 
j try it this year! You will have the time of your 
life! I feel sure that once you get there and 
see for yourselves what a canoeist’s paradise 
Sugar Island really is, and what a good time 
everybody has, you will resolve to become an en- 
j thusiastic “steady.” 
Saturday, August 14th, has been designated as 
“Central Division Day.” That means that the 
i Division Regatta will be held on that day, also 
the annual meeting and election of division of¬ 
ficers for 1916. 
There will be a big Camp Fire and entertain¬ 
ment given by the Central in the evening for 
everybody on the island. 
The following four Division Trophies are to 
be raced for by the men of the Central; The 
Central Division Sailing Trophy; The Ka-ne-en- 
da Canoe Club Trophy; The Vice Commodore 
j Cup, and a Central Division Club Cruising Tan¬ 
dem Trophy. 
Now, once again, fellows, come to the 1915 
meet! Stay as long as you can, bring your canoe 
and duffle, and come prepared to have the vaca¬ 
tion of your life. 
Canoeably yours, 
A. F. Saunders, 
Vice Commodore, Central Div., A. C. A., 1915.

IT CAN BE DONE. 
“Is it possible to shorten a rifle barrel with¬ 
out reducing its efficiency? What I have in mind 
is shortening of an 8 mm, 28%-inch barrel.” 
In answering this question much depends upon 
what is meant by “efficiency.” As a convenient 
arm a shorter barrel would suit better. For in¬ 
stance : For a hunting arm a 24-inch barrel 
would be better. This, however, would show a 
falling off of 74 foot seconds velocity. To 
reduce it to carbine length (20 inches) would 
pull its “efficiency” down a trifle more. Person¬ 
ally, I would stop at 24 inches, as this will give 
you a good sporting arm. Care should be 
taken to find a reliable gunmaker or repairer in 
having the cut-off made. I will be glad to give 
you the names of such people, upon request.
