'rho two popular rigs are the "lantern"
anti time "jIb and mainsaIl. " Racing Ice
yachts are classified according to measurement -
ment "overall" as are yachts. Up the Hudson -

the finest examples or 'raelng crarts. Time
Hudson rIver " fleet generally captures the
highest boners , as Il contains the larger
proportion ot big boats , but the Shrewsbury
sailors are IIen and they have several first-
class yachts or from fifty to sixty feet over
all. Notable among lhem Is the Scud , whIch
many experts consider the fastest Ice yacht
In the world. She Is owned by Mr. 'Veavor.
Formerly she was lantern rIgged , measured
twenty-five feet between runners , carried 1
fifty-foot boom and 750 square feet of can-
vas. She has to her credit a trial quarter
In feen seconds and . 1 straightaway mile
and 1 quarter In fifty-two secDnds. She Is
now rIgged with jib and mainsail , and to
give nn Idea ot how fast tIme modern ice
yacht must ly , I may be said that the Hudson -
son cracks have beaten Scud In championship -
ship events. The Hldson rIver from the
Highlands to Albany Is the natural head-
quarters for leo yachtng , but time Shrewsbur
mel are aggressive and may yet conquer
theIr rivals.
TEHnFI SPEED OF ICE YACHTS.
Most or the noted yachts are mere racing
machines , slleleton frames wIth tiny cock
pits , able only to accommodate tWO or three
persons. The speed they attain In a good
breeze Is simply terrific. Strange lhough
It may appear , an ice yacht frequently at-
tame speed greater than that or time wInd
which drIves it . so that the term "sailing
like the wind" may bo truthfully applied to
these flyers . The yacht starts freely , owIng
10 trifling friction , gathers speed as she
goes , darts ahead In response to a gust , and
Is presently booming along at n rate which
for time time Is actually raster than the Impelling -

sol to boll the runnerCI craft.

10 the slIghtest movement or time tiller that
