speeded over the measured mile Off 1rvington
yesterday afternoon. The craft has for the past
three weeks been sailing rings around all the
fast boats that %ventured up the Hudson, and
when there were no other adversaries in sight,
tried conclusions with tho fast trains on tho
New York Central Railroad. She has also kept
the populace of the quaint old town Of Nyack
In a fever Of excitement, as she shot up and down
over the sun-kissed waters like a dark streak
half smothered in flying foam.
Among tho guests on board yesterday after
noon were George S. McAlpin. the noted wing

The engines by this time had become warmed

decided to go over tho measured mile for a time

the hills and a thin mist hung low over the
horizon to the southwark when the boat came
up in range OF the Gould residence. that stood
out white against the sombre green background
OF the hills. The race against time had be-
gun. but 1t was evident that the boat was not
turning up rs fast us on her last trial, but still
she went very fast.
Mr.. Warren believes that he has the fastest
boat In the world.
