Maple Leaf Coining Here. 
It is almost definitely settled that one of the 
English boats to take part in the race for the 
British International Cup will be Mackay Ed¬ 
gar’s Maple Leaf. The remainng two of the 
three contestants allowed England will in all 
likelihood carry the flag of the Motor Yacht 
Club of Great Britain, and there is a strong 
possbility that one of these will be a hydro¬ 
plane. 
Dr. Martin Smart, of the British Motor Boat 
Club, has offered a cup, costing $75, as a prize 
in the British elimination races, and he antici¬ 
pates being among the visitors at the interna¬ 
tional race at Larchmont. Commodore Cum¬ 
mins, of the Motor Yacht Club, also expects 
to come over for the race with a party of ten 
or twelve followers of motor boat racing, 
among them several titled Englishmen. 
tasted. She replied that it was worse than a 
green persimmon. So we had to build a fire 
after all. . . 
In the afternoon we resumed our grind, tor 
that is what deadwatep paddling is. We passed 
under the wagon bridge above Pacific early in 
the afternoon, and a half hour or so later 
camped on a bar opposite the town. We were 
out of the wilderness by this time. _

Union Boat Club Canoes. 
Members of the Union Boat Club, of Boston, 
are to race sailing canoes this summer. Twenty- 
five formed a syndicate last fall and placed an 
order with J. R. Robertson, of Riverside, for 
five sailing canoes of one-design. Each boat is 
to be owned in partnership by five men, the idea 
being that whenever a race is announced there 
will always be one of the owners on hand to 
sail the canoe. , . 
These canoeists were very much interested in 
the races last fall on the Charles River for the 
Mystic trophy which was won by the New York 
representatives, and they determined to go in 
for the sport. _ . 
The five canoes have been built from designs 
by F. A. Fenger, of Boston. They are 16 feet 
long, 32 inches beam and are built of Spanish 
cedar with mahogany centerboards. The Boston 
Globe says: 
“Hitherto the centerboards in sailing canoes 
have been metal sheets, but these boats will have 
wooden boards of mahogany. The rudders are 
of aluminum and are controlled by tiller ropes. 
“Instead of hatches for bailing out, for canoe 
sailing is rather wet, and the boats ship con¬ 
siderable water, these canoes will have small 
plug holes, one in the fore part and one in the 
after part. Thus, when there is too much water 
in the canoes, they can be tipped up and the 
water run out instead of bailing. 
“Hermann D. Murphy, the well-known sailing 
canoe expert, to whom all the credit for start¬ 
ing the sport on Charles River basin should be 
given, will have his canoe Banshee rerigged so 
that it will be like the new boats. Thus he hopes 
to have a number of interesting races on the 
basin the coming summer.”

Probably the Schoolma’m did not have the 
correct formula. Of course, having made it, 
she tasted it first. I watched her closely. I 
had suspicions. Her look was one of eager ex¬ 
pectation as she raised the cup to her lips, and 
a smile a yard long adorned her sun-tanned and 
freckled face. The smile faded—slowly a look 
of disgust replaced it and then, “Phew—the 
nasty stuff.” It required a whole bar of milk 
chocolate to get the pucker out of the School- 
ma’m’s face. And then the mention of citric 
acid would bring it back. I asked her how it 
wash went over to the village; Siwash for an¬ 
other steak and watermelon and Jim to replen¬ 
ish the medicine chest. 
Jim’s medicine chest was the joke of the ex¬ 
pedition. Let any of the girls burn herself 
ever so slightly, Jim would hurry to his tent 
for the liniment. He had something that was 
good for everything. Boots and I were sore 
trials to him. We are not believers in the 
efficacy of materia medica and firmly refused 
any of our friend’s material ministrations, 
though we appreciated the spirit of his offers

of help. This was utterly beyond him, and he 
never entirely got over it. Good old Sunny 
Jim! 
While we were waiting for them to return, 
the morning passenger train pulled in from St. 
Louis. A half-dozen canoes were unloaded 
from it. These were manned by a lot of boys, 
out for a double holiday and bound to make 
the most of it. These lightly loaded canoes 
passed us quickly. We were not sorry. Our 
two weeks’ sojourn in the quiet places did not, 
strange to say, breed in us a love for company. 
We met with some of these boys at the shack 
of a fisherman below town. This fisherman 
had an enormous catfish, and he was so proud 
of his catch that he would hail every passing 
canoeist to show the fish. We purchased a few 
small catfish from him for our breakfast the 
following morning. This fisherman also dis¬ 
played to us an eel at least four feet long that 
he had caught on a trot line. None of our 
party had ever seen so large an eel before. 
The sad part of this is that the eel escaped 
from him as he was showing it to us. The
