grooved runners across the canoe. and
thus the sailor slides in and out
on the seat, according to the pressure
of wind on the sails. The object of the
sliding seat Is first, to enable canoe
list to carry a large amount of sail, and
secondly, it e. abies the sailor to sit outside
of the canoe with his feet resting on the
deck. thus avoiding the great strain on
the back and legs caused by hanging far
out over the side of the boat In other
words the sliding seat gave the canoelst a
more comfortable and easier position than
before.
At first Mr. Buffers improvement was
opposed by some experts and regarded
rather lightly. But now all racing canoes
and many cruisers are provided with slid
ing seats. The use of this seat necessitated
some kind OF steering apparatus that
could be handled when the sailor was far
ont over the side of the canoe Here, again.
Mr.. Butler came to the front with the cross
tiller, which runs across the boat and par
allel with the sliding seat. There have
been some slight changes both of the slid
ing seat and the cross-deck tller. Thus
Mr.. Whitlock introduced last year a new
sliding seat, like window sash, but
nobody has been surprised. The tendency
seems to be towards even longer sliding
seats of plain boards. Again, there is 4

glory enough by defeating the Canuck in
the contest for the International canoe
cup. Outside of that. the boat did not
made brilliant record during the cam
paign.
This brings us down to the new racing
canoes of this season. Some changes. not
many, may be reported in the way of sails
and rigging. The general shapes of the
hull remain about the same "a in
1890, when so many excellent canoes
were turned out by Ruggles and
Harris. Last year Mr.. Buffers
Bee, which was built on an ORIGINAL
plan failed to bring him much glory. He
lost the Pecowsic cup with his new Bee
last season, while he won it in 1890 with
the Wasp, which he is sailing this year
Several other canoeists have new boats
which have not done as well as their old
ones.
What this canoeing season will bring
forth remains 10 be seen. With one or
two exceptions, the same old boat that led
the fleet last year will continue to do so
this season. 1t would seem that we have
almost reached the limit to improyement
IN canoe racing and sailing, The question
now most discussed is the comnarative
merits of a standing rig that can be low
cred or reefed, and a lowering and reefing
sail. 1t is simply matter of Judgment.
But the other question Is, are We not in
danger OF making our new canoes mere
racing machines? The American Canoe
Association looks to the development of the
''all-round canoe" and 10 that end il has
limited the length of canoes to sixteen feet
and the draught of the center-hoard tn
eighteen inches. For, be it remembered
that the canoe was primarily intended for
padding purposes. Lovers of the snort
think that there is no pastime so invigor-
ating as that of journeying in a padding
canoe, coupled, of course, with the excite
ment of shooting the rapids. gliding
a-down the silvery streams, the long swims
and cooling plunges. and the free camping
out at night.

NEW YORK, July 1s.-TSpecial Core
sphndence. The canoeing season, which
IS now at its height, has been lively one.
There are several important events vet to
take place, notably the annual meet" of
the American Canoe Association on Lake
Champiain in August, while, with the
hnickerbocker races and one or two other
events, the canoe campaign will come to a
close in September
The canoeing season of 1892 opened most
auspiclously with the annual regatta of
the Marine and Field Club, which was
heid on Gravesend bay on June 49, Con
siderable interest was taken in this re-
gatta, owing to the fact that one of the
starters was Ford Jones, Canadian, who
had challenged for the international canoe
cup. Mr.. Jones is well known for the
sklllful manner in which he handles a
canoe and his work was watched with
Keen attention. But the Canadian failed
to win prize. The Representative" race
was won by T. S. Oxholm, while the
Marine and Field Club cup was captured a
second time by D. S. Goddard, of the
Vesper (Lowell. Mass. } Canoe Club.
Three days later, Or June Il, came the
great event of this year-the contest for
the international canoe cup. Theodore s.
Oxholm, of the Yonkers Canoe Club. had
been selected after competition as the
American defender. He sailed his new
canoe Glenwood. which showed itself to
be one OF the fastest little crafts afioat.
Mr.. Jones used his Canuck, which is three
years old. The races were sailed off Ben
sonhurst, Long Island, the distance being
nine miles. divided into three equal laps.
Mr.. Oxholm had no serious trouble in
winning two straight races, and so
the International canoe cup, which
was placed in competition in 1886,
remains on this side of the Canadian
border. The happy result was due as
much to the extraordinary qualities of the

necessary large mainsail and small miz-
zen or dandy. The Pecowsc increased the
size of the mizzen and the center-board was
moved further aft. Thus, by degrees, the
mizzen was moved forward and the CENTER
board trifie further aft in order to make
the center of effort and lateral resistance
and buoyancy come nearer and nearer to-
gether. besides making the mizzen more

years ago all the spars crossed the mast in

then the tendency has been to set all the
sail aft the mast. The different
changes have been made gradually
and all styles of sails have been used
in the attempts to secure speed.
At one time the reigning style was the

that the Third party people were

Clarksville to-day, so quiet has the

was done. This was the day set
aside by r. Ledbetter for holding the
convention to nominate a candidate
for the Senate on the Third party

dried before the convention met, con-
sequently 1t was of short duration.
The new candidate that comes from

was nominated by acclamation.
This was all of any importance that
was done, and the convention having

THE CONTRACT LET.
w. II. Converse to Build the
Gracey-W Woodward Bridge.
The Papers Have Been Signed and the
Work Wiu Begin at Once ON the
Structure.

The bridge committee discharged
its trust yesterday by awarding the
contract for the new bridge across
Red river to w. FL. Converse, OF
Chattanooga. This is the bridge
commonly known as the Gracey-
Woodward bridge, and it is to be built
across the river just above the mouth
of the West Fork. The Gracey-
Woodward Company subscribed one
third of the money, the county like
amount and the city council the re.
mainder. The total cost is to be $10,-
600. Mr.. Converse took the contract
at that figure, and II has been signed
by the proper parties, and the work
is to begin at once. The structure
will be a substantial one, twenty feet
wide, and will be constructed on the
most modern plan.
This will be the third bridge that
Mr.. Converse has built In the county
of recent years. He was awarded
the contracts for the building Of the
bridge at Port Royal and also the one
across yellow Creek. He under.
stands his business thoroughly, and
never puts off bad job on any COM
munity. The work of constructing
the new bridge will be begun in a
few days, and the LEAF-CHRoNICLE
understands that Mr.. Converse con-
templates getting the foundation and
possibly the bridge ready before high
water sets in for the winter.

THE BOYS RETURN
And are Given an Ovation BY
Citizens.
Met at the Train by Forbes Bivouao and
Escorted to tho City In Good
Style.

In the days of Rome's glory her
homecoming heroes were met at the
gates OF the city and extended that
homage which bravery merits. No
Roman soldier ever received more
cordial reception than that rendered
the returning members OF Company
Ell this morning by Forbes Bivouac
and the citizens OF Clarksville. II
was tribute worthy OF Clarksville.
The very air was full OF homage to
the boys who had answered with so
much alacrity the danger call Of the
State.
The ten o'clock train brought them
back. They looked like soldiers.
There were marks OF veterans In their
unshavened faces. The sun-tan told
the tale. II had been no frolic.
FORBES Bivouac--men who knew the
smell OF powder-met them at the
depot. They were escorted up town,
and business was for the time sus-
pended. Mothers, wives, sisters and
''the girl they lett behind them" had
prepared, at the instance Of Mrs. #.
d. Luckett, not lunch, but feast.
The spread was on the shady side Of
the court-house-a lovely spot. Capt.
Clay Stacker, a fl associate of Keilar
Anderson, with Col. Morris X.
Clark, was In command. The
Guards were formed near the table,
and no disparsgement is intended. It
was the proper place TO form.
Bishop Quintard appropriately
dedicated the home welcome with
the Lords prayer, all present join
Ing in Its Offering. Capt. Crusman
followed with a chaste, soul stirring
,ddress of welcome in behalf Of the
Bivouac and citizens. The Hon.
Rufus N. Rhodes, an ex-Captain Of
the @. G. G's., of the Birmingham
News, answered In his most efiec.
tive way, repeated calls for
speech. Capt Clay Stacker's
appearance, sun tanned and
weather beaten, was speech OF itself.
His high tribute, "that Company H
would follow where he dare lead"
was the sentiment OF soldier. The
boys stacked arms and the way they
eat ice cream and goodies was eau
ton. Frank Wake was loudly called
for, but was too full for utterance.
Col. Morris X. Clark and Others re.
ceived their share Of applause. In q
sentence, 1t was grand oration. The
State is safe. Her citizen soldiery are
the keepers of her honor. They are
not mere boys on lark, but hence
forth sun tanned veterans.
