International Canoe Race.

Because of the possibility of yacht races in 1914 for the America's cup, the fact is rather lost sight of that there is to be an international race this summer for the New York Canoe club international trophy. The Gananoque Canoe and Motor Boat club of Canada is the challenger for the trophy, first offered in 1885. Six attempts have been made to lift this cup, the race conditions of which are similar to those governing the America's trophy now in the possession of the New York Yacht club. In 1886 and 1888, London canoeists endeavored to win the cup but failed. In 1890, '91, '92 and '95, Canadian clubs sent the fastest of their tiny racing craft after the trophy, but went back empty handed. Now, after a lapse of eighteen years, during which time dust has been accumulating heavily in the silver pitcher in the custody of the New York Canoe club, another effort will be made to take the prize across the border.
