SEPTEMBER, 1917 
Moose Heads 
of exceptional size were secured in the 
PROVINCE OF QUEBEC 
in September and October, 1916, 
several of them with antlers having a 
spread of five to six feet. 
The Bull Moose which attacked 
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was 
killed by him within fifty miles of the 
city of Quebec. 
Mrs. HI G. Campbell, Jr., of New 
York has a record of a black bear 
and a large bull moose at Lake 
Kiskisink. 
The big bull moose of Mayor Carter 
Harrison of Chicago was killed in 
Northern Quebec. 
Caribou and Deer 
are abundant in parts of Quebec 
Province. f 
THE BEST TROUT FISHING

HOW TO SAIL THE OPEN CANOE 
(continued 
Rule XX. Marks. Should any mark be 
missing or removed from its proper po¬ 
sition during a race, the regatta committee 
shall if possible replace it or substitute 
some other mark, and call attention by 
appropriate signal. Failing thus to re¬ 
establish the mark, the committee must 
order the race resailed. 
Rule XXI. Accidents. A contestant 
should render every possible assistance to 
any canoe or person in peril; and if in the 
judgment of the regatta committee he shall 
have thereby injured his chance of win¬ 
ning the committee shall order the race 
resailed. 
Rule XXII. Postponed and Resailed 
Races. Sec. i. The regatta committee 
shall have the power (A) to postpone any 
race before the starting signal, should un¬ 
favorable weather conditions render such 
postponement advisable; (B) to terminate, 
after the start and before the finish, any 
race in which a finish within the time limit 
has been rendered improbable by unfavor¬ 
able weather conditions. 
Sec. 2. The signal denoting the post¬ 
ponement or termination of a race shall be 
a gun, and the lowering of the A. C. A. 
burgee. 
Rule XXIII. Sec. i. Definitions: 
(A) Close-hauled. A cqnoe is close- 
hauled when sailing by the wind as close 
as she can lay with advantage in working 
to windward. 
(B) Mark. A mark is any vessel, boat, 
buoy or other object used to indicate the 
course. 
(C) Overlapping and clear. Two canoes 
sailing the same or nearly the same course 
are said to be overlapping when an altera¬ 
tion of the course of either may involve 
risk of collision; otherwise they are said 
to be clear. 
(D) Overtaking. Of two canoes, sail¬ 
ing in the same or nearly the same course, 
one which is clear astern of another when 
approaching her so as to involve risk of 
collision, is said to be an overtaking canoe, 
and she continues such after the canoes 
overlap until she has again drawn clear. 
Sec. 2. Overtaking, luffing and bearing 
away. A canoe overtaking another canoe 
shall keep clear of the overtaken canoe. 
Sec. 3. Passing to windward. An over¬ 
taken canoe may luff as she pleases to pre¬ 
vent an overtaking canoe passing her to 
windward, until she is in such a position 
that her stem would strike the overtaking 
canoe abaft the stem, when her right to 
prevent the other having a free passage to 
windward shall cease. 
Sec. 4. Passing to leeward. An over¬ 
taken canoe must never bear away to pre¬ 
vent another canoe from passing her to 
leeward—the lee side to be considered that 
on which the leading canoe of the two car¬ 
ries her main boom. The overtaking canoe 
must not luff until she has drawn clear 
ahead of the danger of fouling, by so 
luffing, the canoe which she has overtaken. 
Sec. 5. Meeting, crossing and converg¬ 
ing. A canoe which is close-hauled on the 
port tack shall keep out of the way of one 
which is close-hauled on the starboard 
tack. 
Sec. 6. A canoe which has the wind 
FROM PAGE 404) 
free shall keep out of the way of one 
which is ciose-hauled. 
Sec. 7. When both canoes have the wind 
free on different sides, the canoe which has 
the wind on the port side shall keep out 
of the way of the other. 
Sec. 8. When both have the wind free 
on the same side, the canoe to windward 
shall keep out of the way of the canoe to 
leeward. 1 
Sec. 9. When two canoes, both close- 
hauled on the same tack, are converging 
by reason of the leeward canoe holding a 
better wind, and neither can claim the 
rights of a canoe being overtaken, then the 
canoe to windward shall keep out of the 
way. 
Sec. 10. Altering course. A canoe may 
not tack or alter her course so as to in- 
i olve risk of collision with another canoe 
which, owing to her position, cannot keep 
out of the way. 
Sec. 11. When, by any of the above 
rules, one canoe is obliged to keep clear 
of another, the latter (subject to Sec. 3) 
shall not so alter her course as to involve 
the risk of fouling. 
Sec. 12. The overtaking rule (see Sec. 
2) overrides the meeting, crossing and con¬ 
verging rule (see Sec. 5) except Sec. 5 and 
10, which must always be observed. 
Sec. 13. New course. A canoe shall not 
become entitled to her rights on a new 
course until she has filled away. 
Sec. 14. Passing and rounding marks. 
If an overlap exists between two canoes 
when both of them, without tacking, are 
about to pass a mark on a required side, 
then the outside canoe must give the in¬ 
side canoe room to pass clear of the mark. 
A canoe shall not however be justified 
in attempting to establish an overlap and 
thus force a passage between another canoe 
and the mark, after the latter canoe has 
altered her helm for the purpose of round¬ 
ing. 
Sec. 15. Sea-room. When a canoe is 
approaching a shore, shoal, pier, rock, ves¬ 
sel, or other dangerous obstruction, and 
cannot go clear by altering her course with¬ 
out fouling another canoe, then the latter 
shall, on being hailed by the former before 
altering her course, at once give room; 
and in case one canoe is forced to tack 
or to bear away in order to give room, the 
other shall also tack or bear away as the 
case may be at as near the same time as 
is possible without danger of fouling. But 
should such obstruction be a designated 
mark of the course, a canoe forcing an¬ 
other to tack under the provisions of this 
section shall be disqualified. A vessel un¬ 
der way (including another canoe racing) 
of which the canoe concerned has to keep 
out of the way, ranks as an “obstruction” 
for the purpose of this rule. 
Rule XXIV. Sec. 1. Fouling marks. 
A canoe or equipment shall not touch any 
of the designated marks unless wrongfully 
compelled to do so by another canoe. 
Sec. 2. Damages. A contestant who, 
contrary to any of these rules, shall foul 
any canoe or compel any canoe to foul 
any object or run aground, shall pay for 
any damages which may result. 
Sec. 3. Disqualifications. If a contest-
