Foot Yacht North Wind.

The Augusta Yacht Club will have
for the flagship for the fleet the COM

chartered the gasoline yacht North
Wind of New York and will bring her
to the Kennebec river and to Augusta
as soon as the yachting season opens.
The North Wind, which is one or
the finest yachts of her type, in many
ways resembles the yacht Indian
which was a caller at Augusta last
season. She is 100 feet over all, has
a beam of II feet and is twin screw
craft. Her motive power is furnshed
by two six~cylinder 150- horsepower
Standard engines, equipped with air
starting and reversing device, and she
will have a speed of IA miles per hour
The hull of the yacht is white and
she is finished in mahogany, white
her equipment and furnishings are
modern throughout, ensuring the
greatest degree of comfort possible in
a craft of her size. She carries crew

for 10 in the owners party. included
in which are six staterooms and three
baths, with an ample dining saloon on
deck She is also equipped with
wireless apparatus good for 200 miles
Her boat equipment includes two
launches, one of them being of the
speed type 30 feet in length and WITH
a speed of 20 miles per hour, also
sail boat and a row boat.
The yacht is an able craft and
adapted to travel anywhere in summer
waters and Commodore Gannett is an
ticipating lot of pleasure with her
during the coming summer.

Trainmen on the Maine Central re-
port that Wednesday and Thursday
were the two hardest days of the win
ter because of the damage done along
the line by the extreme cold weather
breaking the rails and thus throwing
the block signal system out of COM
mission, which caused a great deal of
inconvenience and delay, so that but
few trains for the two days were on
time, both passenger and freight trains
being delayed. The delays were due
in great measure by it being nee
essary to flag through every block of
the signal system where there was
trouble, this meaning that the trains
on arriving at a signal where the tar
get was set against them had to send
a fagman ahead and also put off one
to protect the rear, and in about two
and one-half minutes after the man
hal gone ahead, call in the rear flag
man, and after taking on the man
ahead proceed until another block was
reached where a target was found set,
the act of tagging through block
taking about eight minutes. The
trouble resulted in making trains from
a half hour to an hour and a half
late. Trains had some trouble in that
line Friday, but not as much as on
the preceding days.

Of what the temperature really was,
and remained at that point day and
night, until Thursday morning, when
other thermometers along Water street
were showing anywhere from 10 to 20
degrees below zero. the column in this
thermometer moved up to go degrees
above. Friday morning from some
unaccountable cause 1t moved up to Al
degrees above, and many people who
glanced at the glass in passing felt
much more comfortable when they
learned that the weather was appar-
emily so mild. In going so high how
ever the thermometer gave away it's

there was a separation in the alco-
