ada. One year in four each division takes it's turn in deciding where the meet shall be and in conducting the same. The third division controlled last year and the fourth division controls this year. The Canadians have made great effort to have the meet success, and it is probable that they will not bo disappointed, for the commodore, John N. MacKendrick of Galt, is man of great energy and executive
 Since last year many Improvements have been made in the camp. The head quarters have been moved to a more con yenient spot, and gravel walks connect Squaw point with the main camp Of the more than 2,000 members of the associa- tion about 300 will be present, and of these about one in five belongs to the gentler sex. While tho presence of ladies in tho camp is net approved by some, yet 1t Is favored by tho great majority as re- straining Influence. Since they began to come excesses have been rare. Indeed ex- oesses never were frequent because tho ca noeists as body are very temperate set of men. To illustrate this it may be stated that no bets of any kind have ever been made on the result of the races, and that If any one tried to bet he would be drummed out of the camp. The racing is good natured rivalry, and that is all. The yictors have the hearty congratulations of the vanquished, and the vanquished, prof iting by experience, often become the yio- tors the next year.
 The Canadians usually beat the Ameri- cans in paddling and there will be dog. en races of that sort, but in 1896 Noack, an American, beat tho Canadians, and this year both sldes will do their very best. Noaok sat in his boat, most heretical posture in the opinions of the Canadians Thus the coming contests will be over pastures as well as between nationalities
 In sailing. races the Americans have been successful for the most part. They carried 2 everything before them in 1895, but in 1896 the Canadian, Archibald, brought n new boat to the camp and had his own way over Butler, Gage, Stewart, Hale and the rest of the Americana. Now every body is wondering what the Americans will bring with them to beat Archibald Fifteen sailing races will be called.
 The races make up only a part of the camp life. There are many days when no races are possible on account of rain, too much or too little wind or heavy sea- On such days new friendships are made, and old ones ure oeInented. A campfire of some kind is held every evening, and the most popular men are those who can sing or dance or tell stories. x-Commodore Winne seems to be the most popular of all, for he can do all three. Then there are ohoruses, in which all can join, and the camp band of inandolins. guitars, comets, etc., gives a pleasing variety to the enter tainment. 1
 The camp is ope.ed in the morning and closed at night with as much formality as if it wera a post of the United States army. The international signal code is used for the calling of the races and for everything else, including the warning tbst suspicious characters are about and trunks had better be locked Visiting yachts are

In Command at Grindstone Island This Year Races With Paddles and Sails
 Regulations of Camp Life.
[specIal correspondence.1

CLAYTON, N. r., Aug. S.-For the sev- rnth time during it's life of IS years.the American Canoe association is coming to the Thousand islands. Lake George, Lake Champlain and other localities have been tried, but this region seems to be the most satisfactory, especially to the racing men. The meet will be on Grindstone island, the site of the camp of 1896, and the time limits arc from Aug. to'Aug. 20. The camp Is equidistant, about seven miles, from Clayton on the American shore and from Gananoque on the Canadian shore
 There are four great geographical divi- sions of the association, one including the New England states, another the Atlantic seaboard states, the third the central and western states and the fourth all of Can

 Every liItle while the story is publisbed that canoeing has had it's day and that tho bicycle and golf have been too much for it, but nothing could be more remoto from the truth. Tho mem bership is larger than ever, and the additions for the past year have been greater in number than for many years before. Many of the eanoeists are enthusiastic bioyolers or golfers, but they still keep to their first love, canoeing. "Once canoeist, always canoeist, Is thei1 motto.
