to keep the terrific pace for an
entire mile against a stiff wind and
current, showing the careful and
thorough course of training they
had gone through in the weeks
preceding the race.
1t is only in recent years
that any systematic and vigorous
training of war-canoe racing
crews has been done The Be-
hemians of BrockviIle were the
first to introduce it. but II was
followed rapidly by the other
clubs. The system of the y
NJ. c. y. crew was TO paddle two
miles, run a couple of miles
and paddle back; then a shower

nearly every night for about
month preceding the race.

A race between two or three of
these big fellows is a fine sight, the
men in each bending all their
strength to the paddles at each
stroke, and the several captains
shouting orders or encouraging
their crews. The war canoe, when
fully manned and going at rae
ing speed, appears at little dis
lance like some great sea mon
ster walking over the water on
legs, as the men and the paddles
move in unison. The individuals
cannot be distinguished, and when
the men are all dressed alike in
some appropriate costume the
effect is still more striking.
The races are generally heart
breaking struggles. | saw such d
race last summer. 1t was a great
race and a glorious spectacle,

striving to get just a little strength into
his muscle, little push to his paddle and a
little more speed out of his it tore through
the water at a breakneck pace.
War racing introduced the St. Lawrence
River in the season of 1903, when the Brockville
(Ontario) Rowing Club purchased immense
canoe for the purpose of cruising. The idea of
racing in such craft caught on and shortly
afterward the Bohemian Club of that place pur-
chased a racing canoe Another club known as the
Y NJ c. \. Athletic Club was formed, and between
the two some interesting sport was developed at
BrockviIe. The idea spread. and the following
year other clubs forned.in Kingston, Toronto,
Ottawa and Montreal, and in August of that year

River. near Gananoque. There are two races the
mile for the championship of America, Straight
away, and the half-rnile for the championship of
the northern division Canada. Both of these
events always are won by the Canadians, who
have come to be known as the racing division.
Last wear the y. NJ c. \. of Brockville both
events by good margin. In the mile race they
lowered the record time made by the famous
Grand Trunk crew by twelve seconds. doing it in
six minutes and thrty-three seconds. In 1872
and 10 the Grand Trunks were champions, and
previous to that the Bohemians of Brockville held
the honor. The wonderful performance of the
y. NJ c. ~ crew of Brockvile last year was all the
more creditab1e when it is known that the crew
was composed of young fellows averaging only

But the big canoe for racing is usually
of light and thin cedar, highly polished and finished.
According to association rules it must measure thirty
feet in length; but specifications are given as to
depth or width. 1t is manned by fifteen men, each
with light paddle and of whom with a long
paddle acts captain and steers the craft from the
stern. The rest of the men do the padding sitting
on their knees in the bottom of the canoe seven
on each side, the lighter ones being placed in the
bow, to act strokes for the of the paddlers
