FOREST AND STREAM. 125 

Canoes used in events 17 to 22 will not be 
eligible for any other events. 
The separation of the paddling events into 
distinct classes, racing and cruising, with the 
withdrawal of restrictions on the model of the 
racing class canoes, seems to be a most satis- 
factory solution of the problem regarding them. 
Note—It is intended to start the races by 
calling the first heat of event 16, open canoe sail- 
ing, on Monday,. Aug. 12, at 10 o’clock, and the 
first race. for decked sailing canoes that after- 
noon or Tuesday morning. 
Event 17, trophy paddling, will be called on 
Saturday, Aug. 17, at noon, and the balance of 
the paddling races for the racing class will be 
run off on that afternoon and Monday, the roth. 
These are fixed dates for these events, and con- 
testants can rely on their being held as scheduled 
unless weather conditions are absolutely unfit, in 
which case they will be called at the earliest pos- 
sible time thereafter. 
As the trophy paddling represents the paddling 
championship of America, a special effort will 
be made to emphasize its. importance, and if 
possible a special prize will be awarded the 
winner. 
The increased number of handicap ain 
races are the result of experience gained during 
the meet of 1906, and, while the committee appre- 
ciate the difficulty of accurately figuring out a 
proper handicap for each contestant from the 
meagre information at their disposal, yet it is 
believed that such races will make close finishes 
more frequent and add greatly to the general in- 
terest. 
Events No. 8 and No. 14, to be sailed around 
a triangle having quarter-mile sides, are expected 
to be of special interest to the spectators, as the 
canoes will be well bunched and close at hand 
during the entire race, and will bring out some 
clever handling around the buoys. 
The cruising class paddling events will follow, 
as far as possible, the daily morning sailing 
races, calling them about 11:30 A. M. 
A number of interested members have contri- 
buted prizes for certain events, and the regatta 
committee would be pleased to hear from any 
others who may desire to do so. 
At the present time the following individual 
prizes are offered: 
3y W. J. Ladd, first and second prize cups for 
event No. 6; by H. L. Quick, club prize for 
event No. 10; by M. Ohlmeyer, first and second 
prize cups for event No. 11; by L. C. Kretzmer, 
first and second prize cups for event No. 13; 
by Swastika C. C., first and second prize cups 
for event No. 23; by J. A. Berkey, first and 
second prize cups for event No. 25; by F. An-

be awarded the most deserving competitor who 
does not otherwise secure a prize; by C. F. 
Hemmenway, a marquee tent to the contestant 
securing the highest number of points in the 
entire series of events.

LOUIS RHEAD,

Writer, says in the April Outing: 


““I have for some seasons past chosen a 
( BRISTOL ’) steel rod from others lighter, 
better and more expensive. My tenderness 
for it I cannot explain, except perhaps that I can 
cast a longer distance and can treat it with the 
utmost brutality, yet it remains sound and true. 
I have had it in use ten years; during that 
time it has been enameled twice, and is still 
as good as new.’
