This is the canoe-—the Red Man’s bark canoe — modernized and im¬ 
proved by the ingenuity of the white man’s skill. Canoeing affords an 
endless variety of healthful sport, and the “Old Town Canoe” will furnish 
you enjoyment most of the year. 
The story of the evolution of the canoe is told in our new, free 
1911 book. Write for it today—many photographs and illustrations 
and every one interesting. A postal will bring it. Also informa¬ 
tion regarding canoe clubs and how you can form one in your town.

Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danvis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books 
in the series, and the boy is young Sam, their son, 
who grows up under the tuition of the coterie of 
friends that we know so well, becomes a man just at 
the time of the Civil War, and carries a musket in 
defense of what he believes to be the right.

horsepower Sterling engine. As both boats are 
exactly alike in. every detail it will be a very 
interesting race between them under the Amer¬ 
ican Power Boat Association rules. 
Halifax Race Conditions. 
The regatta committee of the Brooklyn Y. C. 
has published the conditions to govern the race 
for motor boats from Gravesend Bay to Halifax. 
Commodore William Randolph Hearst has of¬ 
fered prizes for this event which he calls the 
"Halifax Reciprocity Race.” The total value of 
the prizes is $4,000, but all these will not be given 
unless there are eight or more starters. The race 
is for yachts between forty and eighty feet in 
length, and if the number of starters warrants 
it, two classes will be made dividing at sixty 
feet. 
One rule, relating to fuel, says that boats will 
be allowed to carry gasolene in tanks or cans 
provided they are securely fastened. This rule 
is establishing a bad precedent. Those who have 
arranged the long distance races for motor boats 
have always tried to make the conditions such 
that the dangers encountered will be minimized 
as much as possible. Gasolene in tanks is rather 
reckless. The cans at .the best are poorly put 
together. They are meant only to hold the fuel 
long enough to get it into the tanks of the yacht, 
and when stood on the deck of some vessel which 
is likely to roll and pitch in a seaway, there is 
always a likelihood of these cans breaking loose 
or leaking, and with gasolene about loose there 
is no telling what may happen. 
Rules should be framed insisting that fuel be 
carried in tanks properly piped. If in one of 
these long races a vessel should be lost, and those 
on board drowned, the sport would get such a 
set back that it would take years to recover from. 
The conditions are as follows: 
Date of Race.—On July 22 the Brooklyn Y. C. 
will start the “Halifax Reciprocity Race” for 
boats propelled by any form of combustion en¬ 
gines. 
The Start.—The start will be from off the 
Brooklyn Y. C. (foot of Twenty-second avenue, 
Bensonhurst, N. Y.), between the regatta com¬ 
mittee boat anchored about one-half mile W.N.W. 
of the westerly end of the club pier, and a stake 
boat to be anchored about 100 yards W.N.W. of 
the committee boat. 
The Course.—The course will be from the 
starting line, thence to and around Norton’s 
Point, thence to and around Ambrose Channel 
Lightship (leaving it to port), thence to the 
finish line, hereinafter described. (After pass¬ 
ing Ambrose Channel Lightship boats may se¬ 
lect their own courses, excepting that they are 
forbidden to pass through Long Island Sound.) 
Classes.—If eight or more boats start, there 
will be two classes. The first for boats measur¬ 
ing between 60 and 80 feet, over all measure¬ 
ment, and second between 40 and 60 feet over 
all measurement. If Jess than eight boats start, 
all will race in one class. 
Eligibility.—All boats owned by members of 
recognized yacht clubs, which are substantially 
built and comp'y with these conditions, will be 
eligible to start. 
Inspection of Boats.—All boats must be in¬ 
spected and approved by the regatta committee,
