WIND AND PLENTY OF IT,
This was What Made Saturdays Ice Boat
Race So Exciting

The most exciting ice boat race OF the
season took place Saturday afternoon, the
boats left the judges stand for the north
buoy in the following order: Calamity
owned by Charles Chiott; Volunteer, owned
by Crosby Brothers; Gioriana, owned by
Henry Chiott; Gossoon, owned by John
Benson; Lulu, owned by Charles NJ. La
Plant; jack Frost owned by johnson
Brothers; Cyclone, owned by Daley Broth.
ers.
From the north to the south buoys the
boats caught the wind directly from the
west and they seemed at times to almost
leave the ice. On rounding the stake boat
at the opening TO Shelburne harbor, they
came about with jerk that behooved the
yachtsmen to hang on The Gossoon took
all the wind she could get and left her feet
All the other boats stood it the second time
around, but the Cyclone stood at an angle
of about 40 degree after rounding the stake
boat ut the south end and the skipper con =
cluded to withdraw. On the third trip the
Volunteer and Gloriana also turned over.
The Jack Frost came in in 81 minutes and
26 seconds and she was followed by the
Lulu in 81 minutes and 80 seconds, but the
latter's handicap gave her the race by 81
seconds. The Calamity finished in 80 min
utes. Following is the score:

that 1T was mispoint of actions, also de-
murrer, especially against the action claim
ing damages for the loss of his wife. The
County Court sustained both demurrers and
the case was taken to the Supreme Court,
where its demurrer was sustained as to the
first count. but it was held that the count
for injuries to the plaintiff was legal. Now
the case comes back for trial and another
ministrator to recover for Mrs. Devino's
life.
The court ordered n struck jury drawn In
tue case of William Devno, in which he
seeks to recover $1,000 tor injuries to himself,
