...summer engineering camp at Squam Lake, New Hampshire, will open this summer on Saturday, June 22, and will close Saturday, September 7. The Camp is situated on the eastern shore of the lake and comprises 700 acres, with living accommodations and drawing and drafting rooms for several hundred students. Men may go to the Camp, June 22, by the 9 o'clock train from the North Station to Ashland, and from there by boat to the Camp...
...verse, I prefer Rollo Britten's "The Little Boy at the Sea Shore," with its suggestion of Blake to the Swinburne Poe-Henley grimness of "Faith Lies Sick." Arthur Wilson's "By a Window" contains one epithet which justifies it. I do not believe that Schofield Thayer's "Amica" exists in his imagination, much less in his experience; she is only a creature of his vocabulary. J. D.

Over the first half of the course the water was fairly smooth, but after the men left the shelter of the shore there was a quartering wind and sea which bothered them considerably.

...start was made at about 11.30 P. M., with the Phryne and the Dahinda taking the lead. On the tack toward the Long Island shore, the Phryne gained a slight lead. At about 2.30 o'clock both took a long board out into the sound again. At a point between Faulkner's Island and the Cornfield Point Lightship, the Edjacco crossed their bows. As the Phryne and the Dahinda tacked towards Long Island again, a shift of the wind enabled them to take the lead over the Edjacco. The latter was also passed by the Janet. This tack carried...
