URGE LOCAL CANOE|STS
TO JOIN ORGANIZATION
Representatives of the American As.
sociation Want to Create a
New Division.

Canoeing enthusiasts from Washing
ton and Baltimore gathered in the
headquarters of the Washington Canoe
Club, on the banks of the Potomac
river. just above the Aqueduct bridge,
last night and listened to talks on the
advantages of membership in the
American Canoe Association. The ma
tional officials came to Washington
with a view of interesting the local
canoeists in the organization in the
hope of establishing a southern divi-
sion, with headquarters at Washington.
Commodore W. A. Rogers of the
Washington Canoe Club. in opening
the meeting. declared that for several
years he had been anxious to have a
division of the American Canoe Asso-
citation established here. He declared
that the members could then learn
more than they know now about
canoeing in its various phases. includ-
ing racing. camping and cruising:
Many advantages and privileges would
accrue to members of the local clubs
who Joined the American association.
which sets the rules accepted as stand
ards for canoeing sports. he said.
Outlines the Advantages.
c. A. Spauiding of Buffalo, n. Y,
commodore of the American Canoe
Association. told of the advantages of
membership in the American Associa-
ton. He first pointed out that he did
not come here to get the money of
the local canoeists because, he said.
the American Association had plenty
of money and owned Sugar Island, in
the st. Lawrence river, where camp
was conducted for members every
year.
To form division. he said. it would
be necessary for 100 members to join
the association for charter. He de-
clared that the commodore Of the as
sociation was elected in turn, from
each division. of which there are now
five. Among the advantages of men,
bership he said, was to get the uni
form racing rules issued in the year
book of the association, and to be able
to fly the A. c. A. flag. which alone
meant that a helping hand would be
extended to canoeists flying this en-
Means Of Protection.
He also pointed out that the associa-
tion welded much power in protecting
the canOeists from laws detrimental to
the sport. He pointed out that it was
through the efforts of the association
that a bill in the New York legislature,
which would have prevented the canoe
lists from using the woods of the Adj
rondacks for camping. was defeated. It
was also pointed out that the formation
of a division here would mean that a
regatta could be held in this city
Lyman T. Coppin of Buffalo, director
in the American Canoe Association,
also spoke on the advantages to be
gained from membership.
In the discussion which followed
practically all of those present ex-
pressed a willingness and a desire to
become affiliated with the national or
ganization. Representatives of other
local canoe clubs were urged by Com
modore Rogers to take up the matter
Immediately with their organiza tions
with view to getting prompt action.

the state is represented by Atty. Gen.
Caldwell, States Attorney STREET
and Hon E. E. Wagner; the defense
is represented by Judge w. G. Rice,

dismissed. The Judge signed an ar

understood that he did not pass finally
