significant and in many respects more in

of the white winged racers that have

Lord Dunraven is himself descended
from the sturdy Norsemen who, in the

successfully, against the people of Great
Britain. In casting about for a name
with which to christen the handsome
water athlete, which the shipbuilders OF
the Clyde had constructed to help him in
his ambition to win the much coveted
Americas cup, he naturally turned tC
the land of his ancestors for fitting and

Lord Dunraven, as he tells the story
himself, was sitting in his library at the
time His eye rested upon a work upon
old Scandinavian mythology which stood
upon one of his library shelves.
''Ah!' he exclaimed, 'let me look here
and see what l can find"
Any student familiar with the history
and mythology of the Norsemen will at
once appreciate how thoroughly success
full was Lord Dunraven in his research.
For the name selected is at the same
time that of the most beautiful and most
terrible beings known to the mythology
of the Scandanavians.
Odin was the chief god of the Morse
mems mythology. He it was who not
only created the universe, but all the
other and lesser gods who assisted him
in governing it. The place of his abode,
the paradise of the Norseman's mythol-
ogy, was known as Walhalla. In this
paradise Odin surrounded himself with
maidens of wOndrous beauty, who were
known as the Valkyries, These maidens
were as terrible as they were beautiful
Odin seems TO have had authority to
bring to his paradise the greatest heroes
of the world so that he might enjoy him
self with witnessing daily contests of
skill and bravery and strength among
them.

THEY WENT HERO CATCHING.

The Valkyries were therefore charged
with the work of conquering and over
throwing the bravesu heroes of the world
and bringing them to Walhalla They
had the power to project themselves
through ether at terrific speed, a power
also which the owner of the challenging
racer hopes she, too, possesses They
visited the battletields of all the lands of
the earth, and touched with their spears
the bravest of the earth's heroes. The
touch of the spear of Valkyrie cast a
fatal spell about the selected hero Brave
and valiant and powerful as he might be,
it was the signal that he was to be slain.
The departed hero was at once brought to
Walhalla, where he spent his DAYS in
fighting and feasting.
THE BANQUET OF THE vANQUIsHED.
Every day these heroes engaged in
strife among themselves until the victors
overthrow their adversaries. Then the
overthrown were raised up again and
summoned to banquet prepared for
them by the Valkyries. The Valkyries
attended at this feast, and when the he
roes had eaten their fill they supplied
them with horns of mead, from which
they drank until they were intoxicated.
The proper pronunciation of the word
is not Val-kie-rie, as is commonly heard
but Val-kyr-ie, with the accent on the
first syllable.
