In determining the boundaries OF this
new division, they were made with refer
ence to the leading water courses rather
than to political boundaries. The tlantio
division, therefore. includes the lower
Hudson, Delaware, SusquehannR and Po-
tomac. The Central division now en-
braces all the territory Of the United
States not defined in the other three divi-
sions. 1t is probable that in the near
future Southern and Pacific divisions will
be formed to take In the territory Indicated

The camp this year is to be of longer
duration than ever before-three weeks.

the racing events, OF which there are to be

The association consists Of four divi-
sions, known as the Atlantic, Eastern,
Central and Northern respectively. When
the association was organized in 1880 Its
founder, Mr.. n. II. Bishop, contemplated
only one large body, which should hold a
meet once each year at Lake George, where
the permanent headquarters should be
located. But the remarkable growth OF
the organization necessitated subdivisions
before long. In 1886 theclubs of the eastern
states were granted the privilege OF local
organization. Their section was designat-
ed the Eastern division, including the
states OF Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connect
icut. The main body was then termed
the Central division. The Northern divi.
sion was formed in the same year. Thi,
includes the entire Dominion OF Canada
The Atlantic division was formed in 1888
embracing the middle Atlantic seaboard
and its leading rivers.

assembled at Willsborough Point, Lake
C~hamplain. The twelfth annual meet of
the American Canoe association is being
held there, and 10 judge by the large at
tendance, it should be the most successful
and enjoyable in the associations record.
Canoeing has grown into popularity very
rapidly of late. In many localities, in fact,
1t has superseded rowing. the latter form
of exercise being much more laborious and
~exacting.
The progress Of the sport Is best illus
trated by the annual meets Of the associa-
ton. When the first meet was held in
1890 there were less canoeists on the ground
all told than are present from a single
division this year. Eleven years z the
associations membership consisted OF less
than a score OF clubs. Today 10 clubs are
on the roll, 40 OF which are devoted ex-
clusively to canoeing, the other thirty to
boating and yachting in connection with
canoeing.

WARY AnteIope.

In early days, before the game of the
prairies became educated to the wiles
of tue white man, it was easy to flag an
antelope and lure him to his ruin. A
white or red rag tied to a stick and al
lowed to tlutt2r in the breeze would
bring herd OF antelope Even the
white canvas of prairie schooner
would then so excite the curiosity of a
herd that they would approach near
enough for the teamster to shoot two
or three.
Since those days, however the ante
Iope, owing to the relentless war waged
against him, has become so wary that
he not only restraints his own curiosity,
but prevents the hunter from approach

hunter, trapper and Indian fighter,

Corrected by tho once Boy.

In one OF our large establishments
connected with the iron industry there
occurred an apparent discrepancy in
the accounts involving a matter of
1900 pounds of scrap iron. The clerks
Of the department were set to work to
unravel the tangled skein. and after
they had expended two whole days in
the search they were compelled to give
up the task and pronounce it beyond
their comprehension. Thus matters
stood for several days.
Several days later the Office boy de-
cided to keep himself in practice in ad-
dition by footing up column of fig
ures on sheet which was lying on a
desk beside him in the scrap iron de.
partlnent, Bending his energies to the
task he got along swimmingly with the
units. tens and hundreds columns but
when he came to the fourth column he
could not make it agree with the foot
ings set down. Again and again he
tried ii and with the same result--3, 900
less
Going over the figures one by one his
attention was drawn to a queer looking
one. A fly speck was beside it in such
a position as to make it appear like a
four, and as such 1t had been counted
by each of the clerks in the department.
The boy had earned his promotion, and
he got it, Philadelphia Record.
