Silver cup, first prize for elaborate decoration, 
Logena, George J. Cowan. 
Set of paddles, second prize for elaborate 
decorations, Helen B., L. A. Cathran. 
Silver cup, prize for unique decoration, Lemon, 
Arthur Bonnet. 
The strong breeze drove the candle flames of 
Cowan’s canoe into the long red streamers which 
shaded his lantern as the boat started, but the 
flames were extinguished and the canoe contin¬ 
ued in the parade. Cathran’s canoe, the Helen 
B., was dressed as an oriental palanquin, with 
Japanese lanterns hung in the windows, and won 
partly because of the effectiveness of the color 
scheme, which was considered by the judges to 
be exceptionally harmonious. 
The Lemon was rigged as a gunboat with 
cannon, funnels and masts to scale, and saluted 
the judges’ stand with Roman candles fired from 
the forward turret. It found a keen competitor 
in Wm. Kouba’s canoe, carrying a red mill with 
sails which revolved in the wind. Full rigged 
ships, giant umbrellas and dozens of canoes 
dressed from stem to stern in rows of lanterns 
completed the parade. 
Guests at the carnival were welcomed by Com¬ 
modore Hinkley and Mrs. Hinkley, Vice-Presi¬ 
dent W. H. Winn and Mrs. Winn, Secretary F. 
W. Hansen, and Capt. Harry Mackenzie and 
Mrs. Mackenzie, while the luncheon which fol¬ 
lowed the parade was made the special care of 
the reception committee, which comprises O. J. 
Haas, R. H. Jackson, F. W. Hansen, Robert 
Souci, Robert Lockerbie, George Dunbar, Arthur 
Bonnet, Frank Merkle, George J. Cowan, and A. 
F. Fylpaa. 
The new clubhouse, which was built at a cost 
of $10,000, was made possible by the consolida¬ 
tion of the Iroquois, Catlin, Union, and Chicago 
Rowing and Canoeing Clubs, which united to 
form a stock company. The building, although 
erected by this company, is the property of the 
Lincoln park commissioners, who have entire 
control over it. 
It is built in the form of a half circle, 180 feet 
across, with a concrete plaza facing the water, 
and contains boat rooms, lockers, shower-baths 
and offices. The boat room is said to be the 
most complete in the country, having about 100 
canoes and some eighty shells and barges. 
Detroit. 
Eight of the canoe clubs of Detroit have 
formed what is called the Detroit Canoe Asso¬ 
ciation. This Association is made up of the 
more enthusiastic canoeists, men that race, cruise 
and sail. This is evidenced by the long distance 
race to Bois Blanc which they pulled off Aug. 1. 
The distance was twenty miles. This sort of a 
run is a pretty strenuous proposition at best, and 
the way they fought it out shows that none of 
them were looking for soft spots. Here is the 
order of the finish.

By Canoe to the North—II. 
Our good friends, Laisenly, Logan and Sweezy 
were on hand at 5 o’clock Sunday morning to 
prepare breakfast and see us off up New Lake 
in the direction of the portage to Kanichee-kin- 
ick-isink. Peeshabo, the Indian, said he knew 
of a little pool a hundred miles away on Lady 
Evelyn River near the height of land where 
trout were plentiful. At last after much prepa¬ 
ration and several side trips we were heading 
for this spot. Bill paddled bow and Peeshabo 
stern. I sat with the packs amiships as an un¬ 
desirable passenger in smooth weather and bal¬ 
last in bad weather. The birch bark canoe was 
low in the water. 
A pack of wolves howled in the woods to the 
north, a weird primeval sound to those who 
have never heard it before. 
“After deer,” the Indian said. 
Thinking there must be twenty or thirty I 
asked him how many he thought there were in 
the pack. 
“I doan know. Two, perhaps t’ree,” he re¬ 
plied. The canoe drifted silently along as we 
listened and water dripped from the paddles. 
Peeshabo took seventy-five pounds on his 
tump line in addition to the canoe and raced 
across the short portages from Net to Kan-i- 
chee-kin-ick-i-sink, to Vermillion and Tetapaga 
lakes and finally into the northeast arm of 
Temagami while Bill and I, carrying small 
packs and resting frequently, looked at him and 
wondered. The canoe sprung a leak which 
Peeshabo patched after lunch with a knife, suck¬ 
ing the seams to locate the holes and blowing 
the heat from a burning stick against the pitch 
to soften it. A birch bark canoe is certainly 
easy to repair, but it needs a lot of it. 
Bill and I had agreed to alternate with the 
bow paddle and the afternoon saw me taking 
my turn. The Indian had to paddle and steer 
all day long. It seemed like dreams coming 
true to approach our first Hudson’s Bay Com¬ 
pany’s post on Bear Island. You hear so much 
of the big company in Canada, of its wealth 
and men, its power and mystery. We expected 
much of our first post on this island in the 
middle of the lake. As we paddled along 
Peeshabo told the story of Temagami in short 
jerky sentences with many pauses, how it was 
the paradise of the Algonquins who were once 
the lords of Ontario. 
“Algonquins, big Indians,” he said. “He drove 
us Indians, Ojibways, up here and made us 
stay here. When Algonquin dies he comes here, 
his spirit does, right among his enemies; paddle 
his canoe, fish, hunt. But one place he never 
go near—Devil’s Island— ’bout four mile over
