H IL E t he red man has not been able to withstand the advance of the ' i pale face s civilization , h s whit e brother, especially he who i s fond

as m i him of sports, h any th ngs to thank for .

Our national game, lacrosse, which flourishe s from one end of the

mi i th h i s i i i he i - i Do n on to e ot er, of Ind an or g n , and t b rch hark canoe, n

i h me e i e s wh ch e roa d th lakes and r v r , is responsible for the present develop ment of the highly - varnished canoe of to- day— the most popular craft that m Young Canada e ploys . i From a strictly utilitarian point of v ew , nothing used in navigation has had a more potent influence in the opening up of this country than the i canoe. W thout it e xplorers and prospectors would have found it impossible to open the new sect ions of countri es which later w ere made accessible by less han ut lous m r i ethods of transpo tat on .

I is i i t with canoe ng as a sport that Canad an canoe clubs have to deal , and it must be with intense sati sfaction that the ofii cers and membe rs can see th i that e popularity of the canoe in th s way is constantly on the increase. Regattas that only a short t ime ago confined thei r attention to rowing e e m e ei e e i e i v nts now have a nu b r of cano ng v nts on the r programm , t

‘ having become well recognized that a w ar canoe race aflords a spectacle i more int erest ng and pleasing to watch than any other aquatic contest .

A v ery grati fying feature i n respect to canoeing as a sport is that it i s i more strictly amat eur than any othe r sport . In sp te of the fact that almost ever vothe r sport has had to succumb to the withe ring touch of professional i sm th oe i s i in the me the e i i f , e can st i st ll ga only for recr at on that t af ords . i ' Canoei sts, it is for you to say whether th s desirable condition of afi air s i i h i i shall cont nue. See to t that t e th n edge of paddl ng for a consideration i s not allowed to cree p i n.

ow n is e L et us see that our sport k pt absolutely clean , so that it will

i e i i i h continue to occupy the un qu pos t on t now olds . W . MC N B B A ,

Inspired by the success attained . the boys held o o o r t gether for the next tw o years, using a private b athouse f training

Then they began to realize that they needed a club house f “ o o thei r ow n, and here began what seemed an alm st h peless ta sk , but per oo f severance and grit are the warp and w f o success . They succeeded in o o m o o m on btaining a l t from the Do ini n G vern ent the Rideau Canal , over f o mm o looking the beauti ful drive w ay o the I mpr vement Co issi n , an ideal i spot f or a club ho use .
