001B6BA1 August 27th, 1926. Dundarave Regatta The tenth annual West Van- couver Regatta last Saturday afternoon was the.most success- ful that has ever been held. The stands erected on the pier and the pier itself were crowded while the regatta course was lined with launches, yachts and rowboats. Miss Lena Clampitt was the star pelformer. Though not yet 15 years of age, she won the open diving competition against some of the best amateur divers A of Greater Vancouver as well as & the championship swimming'vent, the fifty yards open to the women of West Vancouver. She was also successful in carrying off prizes in two other junior events. The men's championship 100 yards swim, open to men of West Vancouver, was won by Les Hay, the runner up last year, in 69 1-6 seconds. Len Stokes, who has held the Leigh Challenge Cup for two years, was second. The log-rolling contest was a'reat source of amusement to the crowd, J. Holden of the Capi- lano Logging Company boiling the log for ten minutes for a first with E. LaConse second. John Bayley was first in the fifty yards open race for men in 28 2-5 seconds, followed by Les Hay in 28 3-5 seconds.

Although the society is the oldest of its kind in West Vancouver, having been established in the winter of 1913, the idea of a summer outing was not entertained till five years ago. The latest excursion prov- ed a very interesting one, thanks to the fine weather anil the ar- rangements made by Mrs. Sel- wood and Mr. Duncan for the convenience aml enjoyment of the party. The trip over the new and freshly oiled highway to Nilsen Creek Parking Station was fol- lowed by a tough scramble up the bed of the creek to the point where the B.C.E.R. high-tension line crosses the ravine. Here Mr. Duncan explained the lie of the countl~ and the course of the creek through the foot-hills of Black Mountain. The party then made its way back to the Cove, where tea was made on the beach. The first secretary of the society, Mrs. Pitman, who did so much to make it a success was present for the first time at an excursion and was warmly welcomed by the members. She is connected with a society of similar aim in Prince George, where she read a paper on Am- bassador Page last winter. She gave a short address to the mem- bers of her old s'ociety, after which Mr. Lawson and Mr. Port- er spoke briefly. Mr. Duncan gave a pungent description of an early example of town-planning on paper which had been tried on the nearest island. The party then visited Rockcliff Parle be- fore making the return journey. Facts About the Forth Bridge In view of the probable con- struction of The Lions'ate Bridge the following particulars about the great Forth Bridge will be of interest to our readers. The Forth Bridge was begun in 1882 and opened in 1890. Built at Clueesferry across the Forth, it saves a railway journey of 50 miles. There are two raihvay tracks across the bridge. It is the world's most famous cantilever bridge. It is 5,330 feet long, but the approaches add another 8,000 feet. Three towers, each 342 feet high, support the bridge. Each tower stands on four masonry piers built on a caisson sunk 70 to 90 feet below water- level. The upright posts for each tower are steel tubes 12 feet in diameter. The six cantilevers are each 680 feet long. The two main spans are each 1710 feet. The bridge is 150 feet above high water, so that large vessels may easily pass beneath. There are 50,000 tons of steel in the bridge, held together by six million rivets. The piers and foundations ac- count for 140,000 cubic yards of masons~. The area of the steelwork, which it takes three years to paint, is 145 acres. At the end of the cantilevers an expansion of two feet is allowed for, an ingenious arrangement of the rails filling in the gap. Each tower is fixed by one cor- ner only to its pier, the other three corners being allowed to move as the bridge expands. The total cost of the work was 93,000,000. Hollyburn Wharf The end portion of Hollyburn IVharf has finally broken away and is now on the beach in front of the boat house. It will be re- membered that this end pot%ion was lifted off its base during the big storm in June. At that time the Government officials inspect- ed the damage, but so far noth- ing has been done towards re- pairing and fixing up the wharf. Whist Drive A most enjoyable time was spent by a number of friends at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. Armstrong, 19th and Bellevue, last Friday envening. Mrs. Car- ver and Mr. Orme won the first prize while Mrs. Curdie and Dr. J. E. Knipfel won the consola- tion prizes. Mr. Tite and Mr. Garthorne provided the music for the evening. Burning Permits Forty-six burning permits were issued at the Municipal Hall last week following the rain. No further permits are being is- sued at present due to the dry weather. Mr. C. J. Overington wishes to thank the various ladies of West Vancouver who have kindly sup- plied his shop with flowers. AUTHORIZED FORD SERVICE We don't experiment on your Ford. We know Fords.
