with a mingled air of indifference and resigna¬ 
tion, said, “Oh, well—call it twenty-eight dol¬ 
lars even.” 
I paid the bill without comment, at the same 
time wondering whether the old chap was in 
his right mind, and rather expecting that, he 
would discover more items later on, and ask 
me for another ten-dollar bill. With the assist¬ 
ance of my crew, the boat was then sailed to the 
club moorings, where a couple of hours more of 
work so far advanced the fitting out, that a 
cruise on the following Saturday was fairly in 
sight. The weather was bright, but cold, and 
we were not sorry to pull ashore at five o’clock 
and seek the club house fire. Around it were 
seated a few enthusiasts, among them a very 
senior member, who could always spin great 
yarns of club yachting back in the sixties and 
seventies. 
[to be concluded.] 
Canoeing. 
Hudson-Fulton Regatta. 
Canoeing received a striking recognition as 
a popular sport when the aquatic sports com¬ 
mittee of the Hudson-Fulton celebration de¬ 
cided to run off a series of canoe events, to¬ 
gether with a number of rowing races, and, 
thanks to the efforts of Robert Edgar, the 
commodore of the Yonkers Canoe Club, the 
Hudson River canoeists and those of the neigh¬ 
boring districts were able to run off a very at¬ 
tractive programme on the river off the 
Yonkers Canoe Club house, which was pro¬ 
fusely decorated with the national, Hudson- 
Fulton and club colors in general, on Oct. 2. 
Several hundred people witnessed the races, 
which were most successful, although a stiff 
breeze and a consequent choppy sea caused 
several upsets, giving the unlucky crews only a 
chilly bath. 
The following A. C. A. members acted as 
officials: Referee, I. V. Dorland; Starter, R. 
J. Wilkin; Timers—Thomas Hale, Jr., and 
George P. Douglass; Judges—L. B. Palmer, E. 
Howe Stockwell and Franklin W. Hopkins. 
These officials used H. L. Quick’s yacht, Foggy 
Dew, as the referee boat. 
During the afternoon the Yonkers Canoe 
Club held open house, and in the evening a 
merry stag party united a number of good fel¬ 
lows, Jimmy Hand, Percy Hogan and George 
Morrisey being the chief entertainers. The 
vice-commodore and the rear-commodore of 
the Atlantic Division made brief remarks and 
asked for a good support for the coming season. 
Beautiful bronze shields for the first winning 
crews and individual silver Hudson-Fulton 
medals for the members, and bronze medals for 
the second crews, designed and made by Tiffany, 
were the prizes.

New York vs. Boston. 
New York canoeists won the sailing races 
against a team of Boston’s sailing canoes on 
the Charles River Basin on Oct. 8 under the 
weather conditions that were so light at times 
that the small craft merely drifted. Three races 
were sailed over a triangular course, the first 
boat in each race scoring 6 points. To the 
second boat 5 points were given, to the third 4, 
to the fourth 3, to the fifth 2 and to the sixth 1. 
The total in the three races determined each 
boat s score and he team score. 
The team prize is known as the Mystic sailing 
canoe challenge cup, and the individual prize 
for the canoe rolling up the highest total score 
for the Winchester cup, which has been held for 
some time by Seward Moot, skipper of Flea. 
The number of points scored by the boats in 
the three races and the totals follow:

A. C. A. Executive Committee. 
Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 16 . —Editor Forest and 
Stream: To-day at Buffalo the executive com¬ 
mittee of the American Canoe Association are 
in session, planning for the 1910 meet. Every 
indication points to renewed interest in associ¬ 
ation affairs. All conditions are ripe for a ban¬ 
ner year. Racing will be taken up with in¬ 
creased zeal, and everything that can be done 
by officers and committees to insure success 
will be done. As a member what will you do 
to assist? 
I am going to make it a personal matter with 
every individual member to find out what the 
management can expect from each one in the 
way of support. You are a member, write me 
what you consider will be for the general wel¬ 
fare and advancement. Offer suggestions, offer 
criticisms, offer aid. Do something, “knock or 
boost.” Read Forest and Stream and write 
for it. Don’t let this column go a week with¬ 
out some item of canoeing interest. Show your 
copy to a friend. Send in dates of meetings, 
lists of officers and schedules of races. Write 
about your last season’s camps and cruises. 
See if we can’t resuscitate the old canoeing 
spirit that a few years ago made this paper an 
absolute necessity to every “live” canoeist. 
Why have an “official organ” if you don’t use 
it? Tell me. Chas. P. Forbush, Com.

There were nine contestants in the 10-bird handicap

Oct. 9. Warrell and Evans tied on 10, while Paul, 
Clearview and Holznagle were second with 9 each. 
*e

score. Redman and Paulson divided on 4 in the miss- 
and-out. 
* 
At the Hopkins Brothers’ tournament, held at Des 
Moines, la., Oct. 5 and 6, Maxwell and Bills tied for 
high average on the first day, each scoring 194. On the 
second day, Bills led with 193, while Maxw r ell was but 
one less. Bill thus led by one target for the two days. 
Gilbert was third. The high amateurs of the two days 
were: Marion Shoop, of Novinger, 176 out of 200, and 
Joe Kantzky and JL. A. Gates were next in order. 
The first club shoot of the season, held by the Ossin¬ 
ing Gun Club, Oct. 9, was quite successful, twenty 
contestants participating, quite a good gathering for this 
season of the year. In the handicap event, 50 targets, 
Col. F. Brandreth and Mr. J. Hyland, tied for first on 
43 from scratch. Mr. C. Dietrich, with 3 allowance, 
scored 41, while Messrs. C. G. Blandford and D. Brand¬ 
reth, scratch contestants, scored 40. 
K 
The fourth semi-annual target shoot of the Chester, 
Pa., Riding Club was a success, forty-nine shooters par¬ 
ticipating and high scores prevailing. Out of the total 
of 145 targets, Messrs. H. P. Herman, Charles H. New¬ 
comb and Neaf Apgar (professional) tied on 142. Messrs. 
German, Hawkins and Butler (professionals) were second 
with 141, and Messrs. Hamlin and Cook were third with 
140. Mr. Herman won the Dupont trophy, after shoot¬ 
ing off a tie with Mr. Newcomb. The weather was very 
fine. The Independent Gun Club held its shoot in con¬ 
junction with the above-named shoot. In the club 
handicap, Messrs. Newccmb, Ford and Wills tied on 
100, and in the shoot-off, Wills captured the trophy with 
a score of 21. The high average, 98, was made by Mr. 
Newcomb.
