well known st. Paul amateurs. She is very
lightly rugged, carrying but little canvass at
present, but her long, gracefully moulded
hull gives promise of great speed when she
gets her new suit of sails. Another novelty

tant waters. She sails like a witch, but re-
quires the most careful handling, and is more
popular with amateurs of the web-footed
class, who are as willing to swim as to SAIL
than with the more conservative class of boat

nomenal craft is called, served as bathing
machine for one of the boys yesterday, but
the active youngster righted her without as
sistance and sailed ashore.
