FOR NEW CANOE CLUB

What will be known as the Washington
Canoe Club, a new boating organization Of
this city. whose membership comprises
some of the most thoroughly representa-
tive and enthusiastic followers Of aquatics
on the Potomac river, promises to become
one of the leading boating organizations Of
this country. The initial meeting of the
new organization was held, announced
in The Star, Tuesday evening at 1417 New
York avenue, and the routine work incident
to perfecting the future course Of the club
was accomplished with results gratifying
to the promoters of the club.
Only a few days have elapsed and yet
there is every indication of complete sue
cess of the venture. AT Tuesdays mass
meeting sixty-eight well-known and ex-
perienced canoeists affixed their names to
applicable and an official of the clug in
formed a Star reporter today that since
then the limited membership Of one hun
dred members had been practically as
Sured.
An official of the new boating organia-
ton, who is himself a member of sew
eral clubs and whose discretion and
good. judgment in the management Of
such affairs is freqlently consulted
says that the best moral and financial
support will be back of the club and that
no loophole will be left to allow the en-
trance of dissension and discord which
tor to many clubs. Because the member
ship of the new club, he further added is
composed almost wholly of young and am
bilious canoelStS who would sacrifice all
secondary considerations for It's welfare
there will exist in the natural course Of
things a greater unanimity of thought,
purpose and action.
One of the handsomest clubhouses along
the Potomac river, thoroughly up to date
and modern in every appointment will
adorn the site already obtained by the club
officials from the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal Company The location of the clubs
new home is regarded as an admirable Sc
lection and will permit the construction Of
a house sufficiently large to meet every re-
uuirement According to the initial plans
discussed by the officials the building will
be two stories in height, with spacious as
sembly hall provided for on the upper floor
and surrounded by roomy balconies. The
dimensions of the site are 55 feet front and
90 feet deep, and its construction will be
such as to accommodate 100 canoes.
