YACHTSMEN READY
FOR COWES WEEK
Expensive Craft to Fill Har-
Dor OF Isle of Wight
Next Week.

"Yachtsmen OF England and others
from far-distant ports are pointing
the bows of their crafts toward Cowes,
Isle Of Wight. They will anchor in
the Solent, off the southern coast OF
England, or In the Medina River.
when the gun goes off for the first
event OF the Cowes regatta, ushering
In 'Cowes week" which begins August
J." says a bulletin from the head,
quarters of the National Geographic
Society.
"Cowes is the Mecca of the yachts
men, as st. Andrews is to the golfer.
Wimbledon to the tennis player Mad
rid to the devotee of bull fighting, and
the big league cities of the United
States to the base ball fan.
Except for this annual outburst of
sportsmen and merrymakers, Cowes
Is a quiet town. with little excitement
save the occasional launching of
ship from it's large shipbuilding yards
and a few small reGattas held under
the auspices of British yacht Clubs,
continues the bulletin.
Ideal Spot for Regatta.
"Cowes is splendidlv located for the
both sides of the Medina where that
stream empties into the Solent. 1t has
the best harbor on the Isle of Wight.
In reality, Cowes is two towns, named
according to their location on the
river banks. West CoWes, the larger
and older portion, has about 10000
Inhabitants 81 weeks of the year.
while East CoWes has about third
as many.
During the other week every avail
able living quarter is reserved while
hundreds of yachts in their holiday
paint and colorful trimmings are filled
to the gunwales with merrymaking
guests. BY day the harbor is sea
of white canvas. At night the lights,
music and laughter make the harbor
an aquatic Broadway.
Old Fort Is Yacht Club.
"Cowes owes its beginning not to
playground but to the establishment
there of military post nearly 400
years ago, when Henry VIII built the
castle-like forts on each side of the
Medinas mouth to defend the coast of
England and the island. The eastern
castle has disappeared, but the one on
the western bank now is used as a
clubhouse by the Royal Yacht Squad
ron, one of the worlds most exclusive
clubs. Among other coveted privileges,
members of the squadron have the
right to fly st. Georges white pen
nant on their crafts.
"A glass-inclosed gallery Of the
clubhouse is the grandstand during re-
gattas, and the village green, just
below. offers a splendid view Of the
race course. The Royal London Yacht
Club is also at Cowes.-
Norris Castle and Osborne House,
near East Cowes, overlooking the So
lent, are two of the show places of the
island. Norris Castle was occupied
by Queen Victoria in her youth. Os
borne House. built in 1S46. was long
the seaside home of the Queen. She

Edward gave it to the nation as

ports IIULl TIE OUIl6Q SIaC6S, were IN
reality British imports. The most Strik-
ing example Of this was the 26, 900, 600
dollars worth of rubber for automobile
tyres that came to Canada through the
United States and appeared in the
trade balance as United States i'm
ports. AS all raw rubber came from
British possessions. Canada's imports
OF this commodity from the United
States really constituted a British import
via the United States. Owing to the
great quantities used there. it could be
imported more cheaply, the trade minister
said. Up to the present time fruits from
other West Indies came under the same
heading. Now, however, the Canadian
Government has established direct steam
ship lines with the West Indies and it is
hoped that in the future fruit for con-
sumption here would arrive through Ca
madam ports. MIR. MaIcOlm's address
was q plea Tor the greater use of British
made goods in Canada. 1t would be con-
sidered a duty, he said, for every Cana
dian to buy Canadian goods if it was all
possible and If not to buy British goods.
That was the surest way of building up
Canada and the Empire. Speaking on
immigration matters, MIR. Malcolm asked
if it was not a wiser policy to continue
a sane method Of selectlve immigration
from the old country and northern
Europe, rather than flood the land with
undesirables. to the detriment OF native
sons and daughters.
