Amelia Tsaacs was locked up at the Fol-

AMI padding races. as well as SWIMMING
races. In fact, the list of events was well
qualified TO bring out the superiority Of in.
dviduai members in any Of the varied at
tainments upon which canoeists must rely
when on long cruise.
Apart from their excellence in that direc.
ton. however, the Paddocks Island meet
served still another purpose in calling at
tenton to the spread of interest i'm that
form OF outing. The canoe is growing TO be
on water what the bicycle is on land. Each
Is comparatively inexpensive when the cost
OF horse or team or that of yacht is con-
sidared. Each also gives the owner an easy
means OF transportation to spots somewhat
off the beaten road Of travel, and each
moves along with grace and speed not
always found In the larger and more ex-
pensiye vehicles OF transportation. The
canoe Is not yet in such common use as the
bicycle, but 1t is stesdily growing in popular
favor as the public discovers that it is
by no means the unsafe craft that on first
appearance 1t seems to be. Still, 1t is al
ready In quite common use, especially
around the larger cities and at the different
summer resorts, where there Is any amount
OF navlgabe water. 1t is met in the gloom
OF the forest lake or along the sandy shore
OF the fashionable watering-places. Daring
tourists glide down the banks Of European
rivers on its polished seats. and one OF the
most interesting bits of description of for
eign travel has recently come from the pen
and pencil of two can0ists who journeyed
from the Black Forest to the Black Sea in
canoe.
There Is so much that is attractive in the
modern canoe that it would be hard to Sc
lect its chief point of utility or beauty. The
modern canoe is almost as light as, if not
lighter than, The birch bark canoe Of the
prehistoric Indian. 1t is constructed of
polished wood that attracts the eye ire
sistibly because of its warmth of color as
It's beauty Of construction. Its lightness
renders the canoe easy to sail In winds
where many yachts would barely move,
while under the strokes of the gleam-
Ing paddle 1t shoots ahead in a mar
veously swift fashion. 1t can be car
rled across portages in the forest: 1t can be
hauled up on the shore easily and its sail

watering places without paying out money

the coast supply his provisions. In fact,
the life OF a can0eist is such an ideally de-
lightful and healthy one that his spare
moments must be usually spent in wonder

from his retirement and resumes his old
place upon the rope. with all his old skill
and grace and daring, and with all his old
effect upon the spectators.
Thus only a few weeks ago he began a
series of performances in the Botanical
Gardens at Manchester In the presence of
admiring and fascinated thousands. His
rope had clear stretch of 1S8 feet and was
safety-net under it, That is an appliance
Blondin has never used and never will USE
Why? 1T would ruin my reputation" he
says. So false step would have been
fatal. But he had no fear of false steps.
He was clad In brilliant costume. sur
mounted by brass helmet with floating
plumes. On being hoisted to his rope,
which was less than two inches thick, he
walked along it from end to end as uncon-
cernedly as though he had been on a Broad
way pavement. Not so much can be said
for the spectators. who were literally SPELL
bound at even this simple performance.
Then the old gentleman bindfolded him.
self and then drew big bag over his head.
In that manner he recrossed the slender
bridge just as easily as before. while many
OF the spectators turned their eyes away in
fear. Next he put on cooks cap and
apron and returned 10 the middle of the
rope, bearing basket AMI stove. He set
up the stove and kindled a fire in It, From
the basket he took various utensils and
some eggs. He broke and beat the eggs and
cooked them Into an omelet on the stove.
and then, "as a guarantee of good faith"
put the omelet and flask of wine upon a
tray and lowered them to the ground that
the spectators might see that it was real. At
ter that he carried his son across on his back
balanced himself on chair at the middle of
the rope, and traversed the rope on a bicycle.
These were all old tricks? Assuredly
and that is why they were so remarkable.
They are the feats he used to perform
thirty, forty years ago, and more. Now he
is an old man, 6S years old, and he does
them just as easily and unhesitatingly as
ever. That is the most extraordinary fact
of all.
Among his almost countless medals and
other trophies, that which Blondin most
highly prizes bears this inscription: "Pre-
sented 10 Mons. |. f. Blondin by the citi-
zens of Niagara Falls. in appreciation of a
feat never before attempted by man, but by
him successfully performed on the 10th of
August, 1859. that of carrying man upon
his back over the Falls Of Niagara on tight
rope" That medal. one might say, sounds
the keynote Of his life. Niagara has been
everything to him. Before he crossed that
awful gorge he was great gymnast, but
since then he has been indispntably supreme.
He has crossed Niagara 800 times since then,
but it was that first performance that made

One OF the most interesting OF the many

week was the meeting of the Eastern

representatives of the Vesper Club of

every one being full OF interest to the spec

quite q unique thing to many who at

contests depend upon other things
than the mere sailing quality OF the canoes
