Buffalo Canoe Club. 
At the opening of the Buffalo Canoe Club, 
- Commodore Henry B. Selkirk, in an address to 
the members, spoge glowingly of the coming sea¬ 
son, which he said had every indication of being 
the most active in the history of the club. He 
said the policy of the board of directors was 
for a winning crew on the water, and after set¬ 
ting aside a large sum of money for the pur¬ 
pose, the board directed the regatta committee 
to place sufficient men at the training table to 
make up at least two full war canoe crews of 
fifteen men each. Two new war canoes of the 
latest and fastest type have been built for the 
club. 
Fleet Captain C. A. Spaulding, chairman of 
the regatta committe, said: “The Buffalo Canoe 
Club has long been known as a live organiza¬ 
tion, but it was not until recently that the club 
awoke to the fact that it had a paddler of real 
merit who, if properly coached, would make 
their presence felt in the important annual asso¬ 
ciation meets. These tests of importance have 
been passed for many years because the men 
have not been properly conditioned for such con¬ 
tests. The Canadian racing men begin early in 
the season and devote many long and arduous 
hours in faithful training, so it is no wonder 
their success is so marked. We had a glimpse 
last year of what earnest work will accomplish, 
and with the assistance of our progressive direc¬ 
tors we will have a racing crew which will ably 
represent us. If proper results are shown, the 
club is prepared to send the entire outfit to the 
championships at Sugar Island and to the Cana¬ 
dian championships to be held at St. John, 
Quebec.” 
The club has established training quarters at 
Park Lake, and week ends are spent at the club 
house on Point Albino Bay. W. J. Donovan 
has been elected crew captain. Provision has 
also been made for other branches of the sport. 
Six races have been arranged for the one-design 
knockabouts, and these will race for points. Six 
events have also been arranged for the new 
16-foot sailing dinghy class and for the 18-foot 
catboats. 
For the canoes five events each are scheduled 
for the singles, tandems and quads, and on the 
three ladies’ days mixed doubles will be run. 
Flags will be awarded the winners in every in¬ 
stance. The interclub meets will be had with 
the Delaware Canoe Club of this city. 
The most important event scheduled at Point 
Abino is the western division meet of the Cana¬ 
dian Canoe Association, which will take place 
on July 30. The winners of this meet make 
themselves eligible for the championships at St. 
John, Quebec, on Aug. 6. Prominent paddlers 
from Canadian strongholds, numbering hun¬ 
dreds, will arrive in Buffalo for these races, 
and will enter in the junior, intermediate and 
senior events, which include singles, doubles and 
fours. 
The war canoe events of one-half mile and 
one mile each will doubtless be a grand aquatic 
sight. Ninety men in six war canoes, represent¬

A Country of Fish and Game. A Paradise for the Camper and Angler. Ideal Canoe Trips. 
The country traversed by the Reid Newfoundland Company’s system is exceedingly rich in all kinds of fish and 
game. HAll along the route of the Railway are streams famous for their SALMON and TROUT fishing, also 
Caribou barrens. flAmericans who have been fishing and hunting in Newfoundland say there is no other country 
in the world in which so good fishing and hunting can be secured and with such ease as in Newfoundland.
