ing. and he must understand the art of
catching hold quickly and holding on
as long as need be. 1t would be dis
guested sportsman who found himself
compelled to give up the race because Of
the weak nerves of his crew.
At last the ice yacht is side by side
with the train!
Down the Hudson they came side by
side. the wind behind them. In the train
the betting is on the yacht, for a nerv-
Ter sight never was seen than the big
white bird, with her wings spread, sail
ing before the wind. The yachtsman,
on the other hand, bets on the train, for
he knows that, although an excellent
sprinter, he cannot hold his own for
long distance runs and must give up
| long before the sixty mile limit is
reached.
He, poor fellow, is keeping cool liter
ally and figuratively. for he is perched
| high in the teeth Of biting wind, and
his nerve and skill are both being test
ed. If he would successfully skip an
ice yacht in breeze, he knows that his
| craft is so admirably balanced that the
| slightest touch Of the tiller will make
her spin around like a top. and he
laughs nervously to think how when a
lubber he used to caress himself with
pride IL he could keep a catboat from
yawing more than four points each way
when going with free wind He knows
he will come to grief If he is foolhardy
in tacking, but on the other hand he
reasons that victory awaits him II he
can sustain his sportsman's skill. Hur-
rah, he is ahead!
At curve In the mountains the train
disappears and the race comes to an
end.
You can look for this race today or
tomorrow, for the ice is firm. the wind
Is fair and the weather brisk enough
to insure good surface. But If you
want to be sure Of seeing it you had
better be beforehand and get to the
scene early. The farmers along the
Hudson are sitting out on the ice in
their primitive boats on the lookout
for the race to begin and the passengers
on the Empire State Express never turn
their eyes away from the frozen surface
that stretches to one side of them.

A traveller who had occasion to make
an encampment on ledge of rock in
an unbroken forest asserts that he wit
messed the beginning of one of the most
destructive forest fires that ever oc-
Cured in that region. A dead tree Of
enormous size blew over and lodged
against another tree. which it bent al
most in the form of a bow. The fierce
wind swayed the top Of the bent tree
which supported the trunk of it's fallen
neighbor. 1t so chanced that there was
a space of several feet where the fallen
tree was smooth and rested on the other.
The force Of the wind in sweeping the
bent tree back and forth soon ground

SWIFTEST RACE EVER RUN

Recall the swiftest thing you ever
saw, the flight of a sea bird, the speed
of the ostrich, the swiftest horse on the
turf, with legs endowed with perpetual
motive power.
Fancy a whirlwind; fancy a torrent
dashing down mountain side broken
loose from some long pent-up dam:
fancy the currents made swift by a high
tide.
Picture the widest sport you ever
witnessed, look in your minds eye upon
bull fight, bring to view an up-to-date
pugilisfic match, call back the greatest
football game you ever saw; and then
let all pale before this, the greatest con-
test ever witnessed.
This greatest of sports is the annual
race between the crack ice boat of the
Hudson and the Empire state express.
the former. a boat that can go a mile a
minute as long as the wind holds: the
latter, train that goes sixty miles an
hour as long as the nerves Of the en-
gineer hold out.
At this time all preparations are be-
ing made for this ANNUAL race; and yes-
terday 1t was thought that 1t might take
place today.
The fee must be firm, hard enough to
be stiff and both craft and helmsman
in good shape for the contest.
The boat that will race for the Empire
state victory is not known. All the
yachts lie in wait for the train, and the
fortunate one is the yacht that catches
the wind and the train at the same time.
This opportunity is sought by all the
crack yachts.
The Empire express, at point near
Poughkeepsde. runs along the very
brink Of the river, the tracks being laid
upon an embankment built for them
So close Is the train to the water that
the slightest accident would send it
skin1ndng over the surface of the ice
When the accident happened to the en-
bankment month ago the train was so
quickly submerged that many pas
sengers lost their lives penned in the
cars like rats in trap.
1t Is in this locality where train and
yacht a1most meet, that the great race
takes place.
The Empire State Express be it
known, is like a high bred race horse.
It let's Nothing pass it. OFF at the post
1t the signal from the engine driver, it
speeds TO its destination, dashing past
all competitors and coming out ahead
with time to spare.
Knowing the fettle of its competitor
the crack iceboats of the Hudson lie
quietly alongshore waiting for the
speedy tfait and ready to measure dis
tance with it. Oftentimes the ice yacht
must wait for days before 1t can catch
the Empire at the proper time and
minute, for boat and train must start
even and both be In full running order
WHEN the running" start is made. There |
are no starters to assist in the getting
off Of the race. Each must watch the !
minute and then put forth all en-
deavors.
The Empire can do nothing but keep
the steam at highest pressure. But the
fee yacht, with its hardy crew and its
doughty helmsman, can and does work
hard for the spurs it wins.
The race is mighty interesting one.
The man who invented the ice yacht
of 1853 would open his eyes in surprise
were he to see it. The first ice yacht is
