and Nicholson, discussing the action of the present Y. 
R. A. rule with all of them. He also visited Mr. R. E. 
Froude at the experimental station at Haslar. He has 
seen nearly all the newer yachts on the Clyde and Solent, 
with the innumerable old ones. He was most enthusias- 
tic over the S2ft. L.R. Penitent, designed by Arthur E. 
Payne in 1896, a very successful racer, and yet with ad- 
mirable accommodations for a boat of 47ft. l.w.l. He 
exhibited a number of rhidship sections of successful 
boats, from Bona down to i8-footers, by the designers 
above mentioned, all showing rather full sections^ and 
with moderate draft, except in the case of a few small 
racers. After a very pleasant evening the party escorted 
Mr. Jarvis to the midnight train for Toronto. As soon 
as his business permits he will prepare a written report 
to the council, which will be published. From his verbal 
report it would appear that his mission had been quite 
as successful as was . possible under the circumstances, 
and that it opens a promising prospect for international 
friendship and harmony in yachting.
