In conformity with the by-laws of
our Club, I beg leave to submit the fol

of the Mid-Winter Canoeing Club for the
season, to date : 1 In October, 1912, the
Passenger Department of The Seaboard
Air Line Railway issued for us a canoe

printed and illustrated, was distributed
in the north and east where boating has
been an established form of recreation

employed by parties needing their ser

directors issued a circular describing
three river trips, any one of which could

for many years. The idea of a Canoeing
Club in North Carolina, for use in win
ter, attracted attention and met with
prompt approval. Articles with photo
graphs descriptive of the Lumbee and
Little Pee Dee rivers, were solicited by
the editors of The Campers' Own Book,
by Out Door World and by The Pine
hurst Outlook. All of these demands
have been met and the material submitted
for publication, approved. J The editor
of Field and Stream, in company with
one of the best known sporting goods
men of New York, attracted to our
shores by the canoeing booklet, made a
voyage of the river in December, from
Blue's Bridge to Lumberton. The last
issue of that magazine contains the first
of a series of articles by the editor, tell
ing of his experiences on the Lumbee.
The following is a list of those who
have made the river trip in the last three
months under the auspices of our Club :
Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Sutro, New Y'ork,
185 miles ; W. H. Miller, editor of Field
and Stream, and David T. Abercrombie,
they were styled. The longest of these
trips from Blue's Bridge to Wagram, has
been negotiated in five and a half hours
actual time, and the return by automo
bile made in one and a half hours.
These short trips are bound to become
popular with tourists wintering in the
Sand Hills. 10n December 19th, 1912,
through the efforts of the officials of The
Seaboard Air Line and the officers of
your Club, Senator Simmons of North
Carolina was led to introduce a bill in
the U. S. Senate (Senate Bill No. 7829)
asking for the establishment of a fish
cultural station, on the Lumbee river, in
Moore County, N. C. This bill is receiv
ing earnest support, and it is believed
that in due time a government hatchery
will be established on the river.
Game fish bite nearly a month earlier
in these waters than they do in the lakes
and rivers of Maine and Wisconsin or
the rivers of West Virginia. With the
establishment of a fish hatchery on the
Lumbee early spring fishing should be
come popular down this way. Men who
