ON LAKE CHAMPLAIN.

lake. The camp ground is close by the
celebrated Hotel Champlain, at Bluff
Point, and the mess pavilion will be
supplied from that hotel. The grounds
consist of $50 acres of beautiful park
and woodland, and the surroundings are
very picturesque. The largest United
States military post in the east is close
by, with it's social attractions, dress pa

But there are other attractions to
Lake Champlain besides the scenery and
the prospect of a good time and delight
full padding. In that lake and in the
innumerable streams and lakes in the
adjacent Adirondack region superb an
Cling waters are found. AS distinctive
angling water Lake Champlain is at the
very apex. Over it's whole area of 100
by 10 miles the lake is dotted by many
beautiful islands, the largest and most
picturesque of which are South Hero,
North Hero and IGle-la-MOtte, which
constitute the Grand Isle county Of Yer

boasts a purer air, freer breeze, more

PELLUCID WATERS.

Attractive Prospects for the Approaching
Annual Meet of the American CanOeists.
ALBANY, Aug. 12.-The American
Canoe association Is soon again to as
semble its members on the picturesque
shores of Lake Champlain, and already
many canoes and canoeists have passed
through this city northward bound for
the annual meet, which takes place at
Bluff Point from Aug. 9 to Aug. %.
The association is an international or
ganization, having over 2,5OO members
and comprising four sectional divisions
the northern, including all of Canada;
the eastern, all of New England; the
Atlantic, the basins of the middle At
lantic rivers, with their seaboard and
the central, the balance Of the United
States. Any amateur canoeist over 10
years of age is eligible to membership
and invited to join.
The association, with its constantly
growing numbers and widening influ-
ence, affords increasing fraternaI benefit
and moral force. 1t promotes the inter-
ests of canOists, especially in the direc-
ton of padding and sailing for pleas
ure, and also by holding meetings for
camping and racing, aiding the forma-
ton Of new canoe clubs and giving IA
ciities for obtaining information
through its librarian and official organs
as to routes, ETC., for cruising purposes
and in regard to canoe and sail design
ing.
The annual general association meet
and also the division meets bring to-
gether members from all parts of North
America in friendly intercourse and
competition, forming a source of great
pleasure and enjoyment. The association
provides a code of rules for the super
vision of padding and sailing races, and
through its influence keeps its branch of
sport free from the slightest faint of
professionalism.
The pioneers in American canoeing
were Messrs. Bishop, Alden and Long
worth, who formed the association on
Lake George in 1880. Since that date
the growth has been very large. Annual
meets have been held as follows
1872, Lorna island, Lake George;
1888, Stony lake, Ontario; 1884-5 6,
Grindstone island, Thousand islands,
St. Lawrence river; 1887, Ben Arrow

HARRISON FOR JUSTICE.
An Indiana Democrat Suggests Him for
the Supreme Bench.

An Indiana Democrat Suggests Him for
the Supreme Bench.
WASHINGTON, Aug, 14-The report
published in New York that President
Cleveland has already offered the ap-
pointment of supreme court Justice to
Frederick R Coudert is generally dis
credited here. In the first place the fu-
neral of the late Justice Jackson was
only held Monday, ard President Cleve-
land would under no circumstances be
likely to violate proprieties by choosing
q new Justice so soon after the dead one
was buried. Again, the court does not
meet until October, and there is no need
for haste in filling the vacancy.
Even If it were deemed necessary to
name the new justice before the begin
ming of the term, such an appointment
could not be confirmed until the senate
meets in Decem Der unless an extra session
should be called. The novel suggestion
is made by an Indiana Democrat that
ex-President Harrison ought to be ap-
pointed. while president of the United
States" suggests the Indiana man, who
claims to have voted three times for
Cleveland. "Mr. Harrison was broad
enough and great enough to ignore po-
litical considerations and appoint Justice
Jackson, who was an ex-confederate and
a Democrat, to place upon the supreme
bench.
THE question then presents itself,
Shall the Democratic party, through its
most distinguished leader, the president
of the United States. be able to brush
aside party considerations and appoint
this eminently qualified patriot and
statasman to the Vacaney?'"

Grabbing at Locust Point is a glori-
ous, popular pastime. A walk of mile
and half through a green country takes
one there from the Highlands. The
banks of the Shrewsbury river are here
decked with households, and from the
host of the wayside inn rowboats, crab
bait and nets can all be rented for a
song. Along the banks the crabs are as
thick as possible, and through the clear
water on a warm day when the tide be-
gins to flow you can see the deliciously
eatable gentlemen making for the bait
a good deal faster than you can draw
them in. Atlantic Highlands develops
many good shellfish cooks, for nearly
every girl who catches basket of crabs
at Locust Point is anxious to devil them
herself for supper.

A Lower Price than Ever Before Expected
 for 189S-'O6

Messrs. Beer, Cowell & Co.,, of Liverpool, in a letter of January 15, said: "Since our letter ot Decem- Der 12, in which we referred to the continued selling of new crops, there has been a further decline and cot ton for 1895 96 is selling on a basis of about 1 cents on plant tations in America; the sellers of these posi- tions are very aggressive, and re- ports being current that another large crop will be planted, feel con fident that they will be enabled to purchase their present sales ct a profit of one cent or more. In other words they expect that farmers will be ready to part with the next crop at three cents and below.
 ssOf course there is little or no doubt that if it is left to Liverpool merchants and Manchester spinners prices will rule very low and it would be unfortunate if we should get another enormous crop; even 5000, 900 bales would be great deal too large for the worlds re- quirements when we consider that the English spinner is by no means in a good position, although Conti- mental trade conditions France, Germany, Austria and Russia beg to say are fairly favorable. !
