| AL LE N GERTRUDE ATHERTON' YEAR 88; No. 176. Aemilius Jarvis' Haswell Was First--Yachts Ran From Favorable West Wind And : Finished Earlier Than Expected. Hamilton Betore Exceptionally fast in time the lov distance race from Hamilton to Kjfg- s'on was made on Saturday night and Sunday in the Freeman cup compe'i- tion. A stiff breeze, which at times veezed on a gale, drove the boaisy(y down from the west, and the fasiost time was made by Aemilius Jarvis' Toronto, schooner, Haswell, wh: skipped down the trip of 185 'miles in a liftle over twenty hours. It was not anticipated that such good time! would be made, but Providence was urely with the racing yachtsmen and the piping west wind to the aft forced them down at a wondertul clip Five classes of yachts were re»- resented in the race, M class, P class, R class, 20-foot class and cruiser class, and certain time allowances | were made for each boat. The start from Hamilton was made at half past seven, daylight saving time, on Sat- urday evening and without the pre- vailing breeze as much as three days might have been taken in making; the trip. Several hours out from | Hamilton a thunderstorm came up, ! and in the Niagara district it reached | its greatest intensity. So great was |the skipper emeritus of the the force of the storm that several of | the dinghies which trailed the yachts | were smashed when they reached the local yacht club on Sunday night. | The force of the waves ard winl' drove the dinghies into the stern and stove in their bows. However, most of the boats weathered the storm well, and only a few were not ac- counted for at nine o'clock on Mon- day morning. Several of these were known to be in Charlotte or Co-! bourg and no anxiety was felt. While | meeting tho waves in the lake, the | Italia hac her jib sail torn to shreds | bui was able to make the trip in | good time ia spite of the mishap. | The First Arrival. | Shortly pefore four o'clock on Sun- | day afternoon ,the schooner Haswell, owned by Aemilius Jarvis, Royal adian Yacht Club, Toronto, who 'the grand old man of Canadian cht racing, passed over She Jas angh the ernoon and nig ther yachts kept blowing in. In the evening, the yacht club house presented a merry sight with a large electric sign bear- ing the word, "Welcome," facing t to greet the visiting - sailors. he clubhouse was gaily decorat:d and everything possible; was done to Make the yachtsmen comfortable, Volunteers were on duty all nigh' handing out coffee and refresh ments, and needless to Say the eai- ables were greatly appreciated after the sail through the rain and wind. Over forty vachtsmen accepted the hospitality of the club and wen, taken to their berths where-many of them slept until a late hour on Mon- day morning after the strain of Sat- urday and Sunday. The race itself was keen after time allowances had been made, although there were considerable intervals be- tween the arrival of the boats. The actual time of arrival of the boats was as follows: » HE SYLVIA, OF KINGSTON, SECOND IN 165-MILE RACE I ah SP tM 1 AAO bin | pion of | Ciub, Toronto, | fended | year the Royal Canadian.

This, however, only extended for a short distance and she was unable either to go backward or forward. On that narrow ledge she remained a prisoner from Saturday, July 16th, until Sunday, July 24th, She did everything in her power to pile up rock in trying to reach tte end of rope dangling in the air above her but there was not sufficient material [to do this.
