THE ETIQUETTE OF BOATING.
There are certain customs and usages in connection with this interesting pastime that deserve to be noted and observed.
Gentlemen unaccustomed to the management of a boat should never venture out with ladies. To do so is foolhardy, if not criminal. Great care should be taken not to overload a boat. The frequent boating accidents that happen are in most instances due either to overloading, or to the inexperience of the man at the oars. Men who cannot swim should never take ladies upon the water.
