vantage-impresses itself more on
the attention than it's quieter and
slower sister, industry. 1t shows
more in action; it is more noisy,
perhaps, and captures the ear as

it. Energy moves quickly-the
chances are greater it may move
without reflection. Industry is
slower and has more time to
think. Energy may tire-may ex.

with even step, and husbands it's
strength, and while energy stops

quiet, wide.awake.
Energy is hampered and cir

Energy is for special occasions.
Industry is for all times. The first

the immense tapering sail to the ice
yacht. There was no ice available for Il
practical trial last season, and it will in
all probability be brought out early this
season if the ice holds. If it should have
more speed than the old sloop rig, it will
be due to the maximum spread of the
sail being low down, Just above the hull,
which, viewed in another light, is exactly
what constitutes theoretically the ad-
vantage of the sloop rig over that of the
cutter
The lateen rig consists of long
tapcring boom, which extends in an arc
from the bow to the top of the tall
mast and far beyond, the sail covering
the whole space from stem to stern 1t
is claimed that this rig will sail closer
TO the wind than catboat, but the
builder declares that pound for pound
and foot for foot, i'll All average wind,
the sloop rig will hold its own against
any other in tho world.
a Jersey City inventor has recently
completed q novel sort of iceboat model
in the form of II steam launch The
engine is five feet long, and tho pas
sengcr carrying portion is set on run

with teeth TO dig into the ice. TO quote
the Inventor:
cts all springs and ball and socket
joints. 1t is built to run over even or
uneven surfaces, such as one meets with
III Il lO-mile river run. Except on fancy
sheets Of water the surface is more or
less uneven, and if a machine were
riSidly built it would have many col
liSions which lnight disagree with it.
Built rs it is. on hinges, as one may say,
1t Will go over any ordinary obstruction
with ease and but little danger of an up-
set. 1t can be- operated by steam or cleo
tricity, and on Il fair course expect to
make sixty miles an hour
Another novelty held over from last
year is half toboggan, half boat, on run
ners, with two large bicycle wheels,
having tires fitted with spikes and oper-
ated by the engine of IL naphtha launch.
Disposition Of weight will be the great
factor in success. On paper it looks as

NEW STYLES OF lCEEOATS.
The Fun Anticipated on the Hudson
This Winter.
lSpecial Corrcsrondcnce.l

Especial Correspondence.
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, Dec. Sup to
date there have been more frost and skat-
ing on shallow waters along the Hudson
this year than before Christmas for
many years past, and the iceboat sharps
are pleased at the prospect of Il season
that will be n season, and not few
desultory days sport on soft ice, with bad
atmospheric surroundings. For the last
two winters there has not been single
favorable day for the eastern clubs, and
even points farther afield have had their
schedule of events woefully upset and
their fun curtailed.
Poughlleepsie man, who is the de-
signer and builder of many of the
swiftest iceboats on the Hudson, says
that the situation is practically what it
was i'll 1S00-that is to say, what is
known as the 1888 model, developing
under adverse conditions speed of
fifty miles an hour. still has preference
i'll strong winds. There is the rub! The
average ice yachtsman requires not IL
phenomenally fast boat under phenom-
email conditions, but rather good, all
round, speedy boat in light winds, such
as come and go every day between sun
rise and sunset.
Various designers are trying to solve
the problem of reducing structural
weight, at the same time retaining the
maximum of stiiAless or resistance. This
would be calculated to give the highest
speed i'll 10-knot breeze rather than IL
gale, and is what is desired. 4 number
of devices have been tried with this end
in view. Skate blades have been varied
in shape; "hollow ground" edges have
reduced leeway in reaching, and there
fore increased speed, but the problem
is still unsolved
Two years ago the hull of boat was
put together with the view of applying
to it the 'lateen rig" of the Mediter-
ranean feluccas, acknowledged to be the
fastest rig for light winds in the world.
The idea was brought homo from Eu-
rope by well known clubman, who that
year spent the early fall in southern
Spain, and noting the great speed of these
coasters conceived the idea of adapting

SToNINGToN, Dec. 6.-For years it has
been the custom of the sclectmcn in the
town of North Stonington to pay liberal
bounties for the killing of foxes skunks,
raccoons, hawks, owls and other annoying
animals and birds. y town ordinance pro-
vidcd that II bounty of five dollars should
be paid for each old fox killed within the
limits of the town, and half that sum for
each young one. But the sclectmen re-
Gently noticed that an unusually large
number OF foxes were being killed, and the
consequent drain Oh the town treasury was
quite heavy.
An investigation revealed the fact that
an cnterprising genius who lives in the
woods near the town has been raising foxes
for the bounty. He spent his spare time
in digging fox holes, in which he reared
the young animals until they were Of IL
sufficient size to command the highest
price. Realizing that this business must
be stopped, the selcctmen, after careful de-
liberation, have reduced the amount of the
bounty, and hereafter but three dollars
will be paid for the capture of fox
whether he be old or young The town
treasurer will also carefully question any
person suspected of engaging in fox cul-
ture.
The bounty on hawks, coons, owls and
crows remains as heretofore too small to
pay for raising them. The bounties paid
for these birds and animals has resulted in
the capture OF large numbers, and the boys
especially make Il business of hunting
Another animal much sought for in this
vicinity is the skunk. The pet and oil are
quite valuable. y moonlight night is the
favorite providing time of the skunk, and
it is then that most of them are killed. \
veteran hunter here reported Il string OF
twcnty-three one night recently. Another
man who is something of an epicurc, has
sailed down pork barrel full of these, to
most people, obnoxious animals, for con
sumption during the winter. To those
who call him lunatic he says there is
nothing that can equal the skunk when
properly prepared, and lie declares that its
flesh is the daint lest morsel Imaginable.

DR.. Buckner dressed tho wound but
decided not to remove the ball for day
or so. AS Mr.. Short, who is accused OF
doing the shooting is resp cted and
lawabiding citizen, Chief Terry is h old
ing Dunn in custody until he can learn
the status of affairs.
