so oyersnadowed by the coming rally
that it did not reach its usual impor-

enthusiasm for the coming rally and

wonderful
The small padding canoe is not at all
expensive. The price ordinarily ranges
from $35 up to $780, OF course, If one
wishes to spend the money, he can pay
as much as $500, but it is a big canoe
that comes at that price. These canoes
that cost so much are known as war
canoes. Canadians are very partial
to them, and are in the habit of form
ing clubs to which they give the name
of war canoe clubs" principally be-
cause their craft are not unlike in ap-
pearance to the great canoes in which
the war parties of the Six Nations
used to journey about.
1t was the intention early in the sea-
son to form number of these war
canoe clubs in the United States. and
then for the members to go over into
Canada ans find suitable craft for ex-
tended excursions. More thorough In
VeStigatfons proved, however, that the
plan would SAVIOR more of expense than
comfort, IL an attempt was made to
carry 1t out, and so it was abandoned,
at least for the present.
Plans for the annual meet of the
American Canoe association are now
being earnestly discussed. 1t is stated
that some of the brainy members of
the organization have a few surprises
they intend to spring upon their fell
lows. So we may rest assured that
the gathering will be one Of interest

ing. For the reason that If IS not
often one person combines all the
knowledge referred to, unless he is q
professional woodsman in the Cana
dian country, it is the practice this
year for two persons to take the canoe
trip together This is a decided safe
guard against accident, for if any-
thlng happens to one, it is more than
an even chance that the other will be
able to give aid, where if there was
oniy one person, that one would be
ophged to depend solely upon himself
at all times.
In the minds Of most persons the
word canoe Immediately calls TO mind
the Indian and the birth bark craft
that the novelist has always given him
whenever the slightest opportunity
made 1t possible. AS a matter of fact,
In Canada today there are not half
a dozen birch bark canoes The person
who wishes to view and ride In the old
time birch bark affair must needs
journey into the Maine woods. There,
not so very far from the Canadian
line, he will find both the birch bark
canoe and the backwoodsman who
seems from his appearance to have
just stepped from the pages of an old
time novel.
The birch bark canoe is much more
uncertain in it's movements than the
more modern one constructed of cedar
or Eastwood, such as even the Cana
dian Indians use nowadays. The canoe
list will tell you that it is cranky"
and there is no other word which better
expresses It's general characteristics

At first it was the plain padding

though with somewhat different sails.
The result has been a steady growth
of the popularity of the sailing canoe,
until this season the number Of sail
ing canoes will approach very closely
to those which are operated by pad
dies alone.
1t must not be supposed that canoes
are to be found only in Canadian
waters. There are plenty of them
which skim over what the old settlers
of the West used to call the unsalted
seas.
The rivers of the East also number
not a few of them among the craft
that dot their surface. When at AL

NEW YORK, July 15.-More orders
for canoes have been placed in New
York this season that at this time
during any previous year. To the ma
jcrity of persons this will be a, sur
prise, but the fact is that for years
this sport, which is really the only one
that is purely amateur, has been stead
lily gaining in favor until now it has
achieved the distinction of becoming q.
summer fad, as we'll as hobby with
all those who love the sport for sports
sake alone. Where formerly it was
considered a pastime that belonged
particularly to Canadians, it is now
Canada's only to the extent that the
streams of the Dominion are more suit
ed to the sport than the majority Of
those of the United States, except in
the Maine woods.
For years the st. Lawrence and the

More people go to the woods and camp
out every year. Time was when it was
thought that to camp out in summer
one must needs be by lake, but that
ldea has gone glimmering with a lot of
others about camp life, which were
equally as foolish. People camD

that the majority really care little or

go to have good time, and sometimes
because some one else has told them
now pleasant 1t is and how inexpen-
SiVe.
With persons of this sort to whom the
pleasures of out door existence strong
~ appeal the canoe is a warm friend
1t Is very likely to become their chief
source of enjoyment, because in II
they can explore the neighborine
