Canoe Club men have so long and so anxiously
awaited arrived last Wednesday from Canada,
where It was built. Their Joy at It's arrival

drove the pole OF q heavy wagon through its
side. damaging It so severely that 1t may be
necessary TO return It to its Canadian makers

delay Of another month at least, and the pros

men. For the present the canoe will remain
in the care of the railroad company. as the
club has declined to receive II until the respon-
sibility for the damage Is determined.
