Palisade Boat Club The Palisade Boat Club is the oldest club in Yonkers and one of the oldest rowing clubs in the United States. It was organized in 1866. The boathouse for many years was situated at the foot of Wells Avenue, but in 1890 it was moved to Glenwood. Here a large piece of upland was purchased on which was erected a building for bowling, pool, billiards, and other uses. Fine tennis courts were also laid out on this property, and the organization has since been more than a rowing club. It has a membership of about two hundred members. The officers are Edwin A. Oliver, President; Thomas E. Booth, First Vice–President; John D. Ashton, Second Vice–President; John H. Keeler, Jr., Secretary; Charles P. Marsden, Treasurer; Walter Carpenter, Captain; Harrison B. White, Lieutenant. The other members of the Governing Coinmittee are as follows: Benjamin T. Barnes, J. Calvin Campbell, Andrew Deyo, Edward P. Davis, Charles Philip Easton, Ralph R. Mulligan, Robert G. Jackson, Stephen A. Peene, Frederick Peene, George B. Skinner, end Sinclair Tousey. Yonkers Canoe Club This Club was organized February 17, 1886, by J. G. Reevs, Lawson Sandford, and H. Lansing Quick. It was incorporated in September, 1888, and is one of the most prominent canoe clubs in this section of the country. The New York Canoe Clubs International Championship Cup has been held twice by its members; in 1890 by H. Lansing Quick, and in 1892 by T. S. Oxholm. It has always taken an active part in the American Canoe Association’s affairs, having always had a representative on the Executive Committee of that organization. It had the war canoe Ko–Ko–Ko–Ho, built in 1890, which was the largest canoe built in this country, and the first war canoe in the Atlantic Division of the A. C. A. The Club moved into the old Vesper Rowing Club House, at the foot of Gold Street, in 1888, and has been located in the same place ever since. The Club flag is a white burgee, with a red dolphin in the center. The present officers of the Club are: Robert Edgar, Commodore; E. M. Underhil, Vice–Commodore; U. Van Varick, Secretary, and Louis Simpson, Treasurer.
