A soUrHERsER,s DREAM
OF Ice Boat. and tn. rr.... K..n.b...

The Baltimore American of Jan. 9th prints
what purports to be . despatch dated at
Augusta, January 9Th, 1886, concerning ice
boating On the Kennebec river opposite the
city. The author had evidently never been
north OF Maryland, and this was one of his
dreams written out. January 9Th the river
opposite the city was open from shore to
shore, and there was an entire absence of ice
other than a few floating cakes, while the
streets were bare as in summer Further
more there are not four ice yachts owned in
the city. Here is the icy romance:
Right through the center of this pretty CITY
flows the Kennebec river, famous tor its
great drives" OF lumber and its immense
crop of clear blue ice. Snow is two feet deem
upon the city streets, but the surface of the
kennebec is as clear az cut-glass. The great
winter sport is ice yachting. and this season
there are more and faster yachts in use than
at any previous time. Every young man who
aspires to be fashionable owns his ice-yacht.
If it is not much longer than hand-.led, and
the pretty girls prefer a dash over the glare

Maine tr0tters.
craft meant to carry but two persons to the
big boat in which good sized family can sit,
and still have room enough for guests AL
though the yachts differ in size. they are all
constructsd upon the same principle. The
work is so simple that most anyone can build
his OVID boat in day or two. Three wooden
beams are arranged somewhat in the shape Of
letter V. The sharp point is the bow, and
under il is fastened a movable skate or strip
Of steel, by which the course of the ice-boa,
is instantly changed in any desired direction
Skates are also fa-tened under the stern of
the boat, and with the addition of sails the
craft is ready for use.
The speed of some of the ice Yacht. in use
upon the Kennebec is almost marvellous
Some Of them have been known to sail fast
er than . mile minute, and it requires the
constant effort of the pretty passengers to
hold on their back hair while the yacht ia

the Maine Central Railroad run along the
river bank for some miles, and racing be-
tween the Boston express and some of the
fast ice-yschts 10 a daily occurrence In
most cases the train i. quickly left behind,
although running at the rate of forty Ave
miles an hour. Collisions are Of frequent
occurer ce, and the force with which the boats
crash together sometimes splits them into
kindling wood Serious I'M uries to the pas
sengers are infrequent, however, as expert
! ence has shown them how to slip over the
| sides of the Yacht before the unavoidable
smash-up takes place The interest in the
sport is so general in this city that the City
Council annually appropriates q considerable
sum for the purpose of keeping the ice clear
| of snow.

Cakes made from mixed molasses dry up
very quickly, as II is the nature of glucose to

Consumers, sooner or later, will learn by
experience these facts, and consequently
those retailers keeping only pure molasses
will reap the benefit -New Eng. G, oeer.

While the ice fields of the Kennebec are

scraping is nearly finished and their
prospects for splendid crop were never any
