CRICKET "The Course Vice-=Commodore Jarvis Adopted at King- ston Regatta. The Toronto Telegram has the fol- lowing: "All winter the Royal Can- #Adian Yacht Club has been having ~keep-together gatherings, where Subjects of interest to the summer , allors are discussed. ° Vice Commodore Jarvis gave a splendid talk on how races are won: T. B. F. Bensom"iftuminated the ob- écurifies of yacht measurement: George Owen explained, the prin- ciples and. problems of designing; and Jack Bartlett from the rich store of his experience explained the rules of the road and the question of fouls Last night, in the Victoria Club 'the members bad the privilege of listening to Harry Moore, chairman Of the sailing committee, on the fib- ject of the compass. Nothing could be clearer than. Mr. Moore's exposition of what the com- Pass is, and what it means to the Yachtsmen. The , Inttle talk Boroughly practical, the speaker ap- plying the examples he gave to tho very courses which will be safled this summer, It came to some with ell the shock of a new idea that it was not by luck, Wizardry, genius or "a gift" that top-notchers in the" sailing science achieved their results, but just by following accurately the simple and unvarying rules. Mr. Moore showed on the screen the course Vice-Commodore Jarvie adopted with the Haswell, after the L.Y.R.A. regatta at Kingston. The Haswell left on Friday for home. It * 'blew hard that night, and the yachts ¥emaining in Kingston dragged their anchors, end had a very hard time in the squalls. The Haswell, choos- ing between two alternatives, acoord- ing to the direction of the wind, etretched up to the extreme point of Prince Edward county, and lay snug- ly there all night at anchor, safe on & bare shore, where the rest of the fleet was having a hard time in har- bor, The screen showed how Mr. Jarvis had taken cross-bearings, which the anchor-watch conned every few min- utes, in case she should drag. She lay all night with mainsail and top- sail set, ready to, get under weigh with the first shift of wind or sign of dragging, for she had a steep shore in one direction. Timber island in another, and the shoals of South Bay point in ahother. In the morning, the wind blowing very hard, she lowered her topsail and swung off. A compass course tad already been plotted which took * her out past Timber Island, up to the Harris shoal, and then by tacking, Just clear of the Traverse shoal, ,un- til South Bay Point had « gofkein bearing. Once that was reac the * sheets could be started a little, and the schooner went up the lake, over- "hauling and passing a big stcel freighter that was wading into the bead seas up to her anchor-ports, 5 It was by paying strict attention . to his compass that Mr. Jarvis knew . just when to tack and where to tack. . There was another good example of compass work when the little Bwamba won out on the club course by picking up the westerly buoy of the triangle when it had capsized. } others were scrapping for posi or blindstabbing at -the #n- visible bugy she followed the boar- ings the buoy should have and wert right to the spot. .
