Anniversary Dinner. 
Chicago, Aug. 4 .—Editor Forest and Stream: 
The American Canoe Association was organ¬ 
ized at Crosbyside, Lake George, New York, 
Aug. 3, 1880. Of the twenty-three charter 
members, three are still enrolled in the A. C. 
A.—two in New York and one in Cincinnati. 
Six are deceased and fourteen are no longer in 
touch with the association. To celebrate its 
thirtieth anniversary, seven enthusiastic mem¬ 
bers fore-gathered at the Tip Top Inn, Chicago, 
on Wednesday evening, Aug. 3, for dinner and 
reminiscences. A silent toast was drunk to the 
memory of Commodore Forbush. The pros¬ 
perity of the A. C. A., thirty years more of 
good fellowship in its ranks, and the good 
health of R. J. Wilkin, president of the board 
of governors, to whom so much is due for the 
present splendid condition of the association, 
were also toasted. Those present were H. C. 
Morse, of Peoria; Oscar J. West, Frank B. 
Huntington, A. W. Friese, J. Bernard Mullen, 
R. Fulton Abercrombie and J. K. Hand. 
Historian. 
A. C. A. Atlantic Division. 
The last event for 1910 on the official pro¬ 
gram of the Atlantic Division will be the Labor 
Day camp, and will be held at Hermit Point, 
Palisade Park, on the Hudson River, opposite 
Riverdale, N. Y., Sept. 3, 4 and 5. 
Inasmuch as the big division meet was held 
this year on the Delaware River, we want to 
make this year’s camp at Hermit Point es¬ 
pecially attractive in order to give the Hudson 
River canoeists an event to look forward to, 
and we ask you all to come and join us and 
have a good time. 
The regatta committee has arranged a very 
attractive program for the “strenuous ones,” 
and the entertainment committee will also be on 
the job. “Chipmunk,” who is on this commit¬ 
tee, is well known as a good “mixer.” The 
various committees will cheerfully furnish any 
special information wanted. Arrangements will 
be made as usual for a squaw camp. Camp 
dues, 75 cents. Ferry for Hermit Point at R. 
Cox's boathouse, foot of Dyckman street and 
Hudson River. Fare, 25 cents.

THE GAME BOOK 
Standard Big Game Measurements 
Every man wants to compare his trophy with those of other big-game 
hunters. But comparisons are useless unless there is a fixed standard. 
The game book of the Boone and Crockett Club, the foremost organi¬ 
zation of hunters of American big game, supplies this. Compiled by J. H. 
Kidder, it provides directions for standard measurements of the large game 
animals of America, with spaces carefully arranged for complete data re¬ 
garding the kill, locality, time, conditions, etc. 
It is handsomely and durably bound, pocket size. It is an invaluable 
record for every man who goes into the wild for sport with the rifle, a 
handy book, a camp companion, and a library reminder of days afield.

THE GRIZZLY BEAR. 
All That The Title Suggests 
— 
To the American sportsman and the American small boy, alike, the Grizzly stands first 
in interest among American game animals. To both of these and to the outdoor public 
“The Grizzly Bear," by Wm. H. Wright, will have a strong appeal. 
It is the work of a Naturalist-Hunter, the best book that has been written about any 
of the bears. Story, narrative, natural history, acute observation combine to make it a 
most readable and valued book for the big-game hunter, the lover of stirring exper¬ 
iences, or the student of wild life. Cloth, illustrated, 274 pages.
