CANOE ENTHUSIASTS.
Deep-sea canoeing is a sport that has risen to rapid favour in Napier this year, and a strong club, with a flotilla of upward of a score of canoes, has been formed, says a Hawke's Bay paper. Almost any day the canoes can be seen off the Parade, where they attract considerable attention. Canoe races, with liberal entries and exciting competition, were popular features of the recent Mardi Gras, and now the Pacific Canoe Club is arranging a series of long-dis-tance events during the week-ends. Seven of the more daring members of the club recently journeyed to Fernhill, where they launched their canoes for an | eventful trip down the Ngaruroro River 1 to Clive and thence by the sea to Napier.
