Is fund OF wholesome sport, especially in
the latter, and q source Of enjoyment be-
yond the ken of the person to whom the
idea of amusement is realized in an evening
at a theater or a bout at penny-ante under
the lea Of some glowing base-burner.
Ice yachting is what may be termed a safe
sport. With proper precautions it is safe
enough, but the faint flavor of danger, the
overcoming suggestions OF disastrous
possibilities, adds to it's attractiveness and
! lends charm width removes the drawback
of tameness. Accidents were common
enough in the early days OF yachting, ow-
ing to imperfections of construction and in
experience to satisfy the most sanguinary,
but decent regard for safety OF life, limb
and property has changed this and the
sport is as safe as the nature OF it will per-
nit. Experienced yachtsmen need not hest
tate to take their families along under rea-
sonable conditions of wind and ice. The
chief drawback to the many would-be
yachtsmen is the lack of q stretch of ice
which can be relied on each month. Abso-
lutte smoothness of ice, such as skaters need,
is not necessary, though desirable. The
presence of distinctions, while preventing
great speed, frequently makes the sport all
the more interesting by bringing into play
all The nautical skill yachtsman may
have. Going over rough ice and cracks re-
quires the exercise of GOODNESS, promptness
and skill. The yacht must be brought up
so as to spill thewind and relieve the strain
and then headed SO that the runners will
not get caught in the cracks, something
which usually causes the rigging to all go
by the board if not securely stayed, but
more frequently results in wrenching off the
skate.
In sensations and effect ice yachting is
the nearest approach to flying that has
been invented Ballooning has been
likened to flying, but it is only by those on
theground that the likeness is appreciated,
for in a balloon sense OF motion is lost. It
is the acme OF egotism. To the balloonist
his gas ball is stationary, while the earth
drops away from him. In ice boating the
sense of motion is ever present, sometimes
painfully SO; as when one Is bearing down
on an ice hummoc or the black stretch Of
open water at the rate of thirty-fve miles
an hour, with apparently thirty seconds
between one and disaster or drowning.
The inexperienced passenger, clinging to
the weather shrouds with grip which
would start the tar from the frozen rope,
can not help devoting u second or two to
wondering what the imperturbable gentle
man in the stern sheets is going TO do
about it. The speed OF an ice yacht, under
favorable circumstances, is something to
take away the breath of one who has only
travelled at the speed which may be got
from an ordinary locomotive.

AN ODD VIEW.
What Dumas Would Have Done With the
Ducats of the Dead Vanderbilt.

What Dumas Would Have Done With the
Ducats of the Dead Vanderbilt.
Hard it is, indeed. to see how Mr.
Vanderbilt was the better for his
money. Perhaps he had 10000, 900
pounds, there or thereabouts. What
can man do with forty millions? He
can do nothing, unless he has the i'm
agination of Dumas or the tastes of a
Beckford. Mr.. Beckford collected a
truly delightful and marvellous library
of books. Mr.. Vanderbilt did nothing
of the sort. He had no particular crav-
ing for rare editions, and the master
pieces of Duseuil and LIE Gascon. Du-
mas, again, would have run through
the money like man. He would have
presented Italy to the Italians and
Rome to Victor Emmanuel. Perhaps
he would have annexed India; very
probably, at least, he would have made
the attempt, He would have carried
Duchesses captive. and his dramas
would have been magnificently per-
formed in Timbucto. He would have
cut canal through the Isthnus of
Corinth; he would have carved Mount
Athos into statue of Athos, Comte de
la Fere. He would have seen to it that
flying became practical art, and
frances navies would have bounced
from the central blue on Birmingham
and carried off the Liberal Seven to
chains and slavery. Dumas would
have released convicts and imprisoned
Princes. He would have fitted up in
palatial style as many caves as Shelley
ever dreamed of, and would have filed
them with the most magnificent and
most magnanimous brigands, many of
them cardinals in disguise. o. great
and glorious Alexander, exclaims the
dazzled fancy, why hadst not thou the
forty millions, while the tame Wander
bilt starved on a pittance of a few
