World Professional Sculling Championship, Rat Portage (Kenora), September, 1901. Group portrait of spectators, reporters, etc., including John Sinclair Robertson, second seated from left.

It's that time a year when generous men begin to sport charitable facial hair in support of cancer research. Watching our male colleagues slowly hair over, we sometimes reminisce over the Old Days, when men committed to their facial hair for the long run. Ladies and Gentlemen — MOVEMBER! Besides their obvious follicular avocation, the men here pictured were keen spectators at the World Professional Sculling Championships for 1901, in Rat Portage (Kenora), Ontario.
