THE CITIZEN', WEDNESDAY, JANUAKY 25, 10J1. THE JOYS 8 YACHTING An Exciting Winter Diversion f: Which Many Ocelli, GREAT SPEED POSSIBILITIES Some of the Frail Craft Have Gc:ie Faster Than Any Machine That Ever Annihilated Space What Ice boats Are Like. This winter will long bo remembered anionic the ice yachtsmen as unusual, for the absence of much snow and the thickness on nil inland lakes enabled tho Ice regattas to be held frequently. To the enthusiasts, and they are many, keenest suffering comes from the fickle elements, which one day prom ise a perfect one of wind and Ice and tho next day bury hopes In snow and calm. This season more championship events have been decided than in the last few years. Ice yachting is enjoyed in every state in the Union where the ice forms reg ularly each winter, but it is especially popular on tho rivers and lakes in New York. rtow .Jersey , Pennsylvania, Mich igan, Wisconsin. Illinois and Minneso ta. The Shrewsbury river, which rises not fur irom Long Brunch. X. .7., and flows into Xew York bay at Sandy Hook, is the greatest ice yachting cen ter. U)on this shallow river scores of the licet craft are seen, and tho swift racers shoot by faster than the fastest trains that ever rolled on rails. Lake Winnebago, Wis., is another great ice yachting center. The Lake Winnebago Ice Yacht association is a highly prosperous organization with a tremendous fleet. Winnebago is thirty five miles long and sixteen miles wide In places. Its surface usually remains hard for three months In each year, so there is unlimited opportunity for ice yacht sailing. Vow persons except those who have ridden In one have an accurate con ception of the appearance of the Ice boat. Save for the tall masts and sails it bears little resemblance to the ordi nary yacht. The body of the boat is ICB TAOUT GOING ON STRAIGHTAWAY AT '1'UI.ti SPEED. shaped like a cross with the top part forward. The beam Is barely wide enough to bear a couple of figures ly ing at length. On tho underside extends a long run ner, which Is usually the keel in the sailboat. Tho ends of the cross are shod with steel runners about a yard in length. The rudder acts on the same plan as that of the ordinary boat, but Is also re-enforced with a steel runner, which cuts Into the Ice in swinging the yacht around. Once started the boat travels very easily, even in a moderate breeze. Its course is a series of leaps through the air, in each of which the boat rises several Inches from the ice and shoots through the air like a Hying machine. The return to Uie ice is so even and easy that there Is not tho slightest Jar. It is this continual rising and falling nt high 8i)eed which make Ice yacht ing so attractive. With all its so called dangers ice yachting has a fascination that cannot be denied, and it is a glorious pastime. With the racers wrapped up in warm clothing and speeding faster and faster, with the air full of electric sparks and the ice sparkling ahead, tho glowing cheeks and the flashing eyes of the participants In this sport attest Its whnlesomcnoss. To steer In a bitter wind and to staud on the windward side of an Iceboat Is one of the Joys of life. For some boats records of a mile a minute and less are easy, while In a heavy wind with perfect Ice a speed of eighty miles an 'hour has been ac complished. In fact there Is a won derful record on tho books of five eighths of a mile iu fifteen seconds, or at tho rate of a iullo In twenty-four seconds, two and one-half miles in n mluuto, faster than any automobile, aeroplane or any machine has ever annihilated space. Double Position For Coach Wheaton. For the first time In the history of Naval academy athletics one man will fill tho position of coach of two im portant teams, Frank Wheaton of Yale having accepted the proposal of the Athletic association to handle the base ball nine this spring and net as field coach of tlw football team next fall. The latter position he fliled to the great satisfaction of the navy people last fall. "".: V , i -' '3 ' ' ' " SHERIDAN Al. His Next Appearance In All Around Championships to Da Final. Martin .T. Sheridan announces that he will be p candidate for the all around championship next summer. H says he will tr.iui n. nr. e, I .ore, as he bnllocs it will be the List time he will enter the contest, ujd he wants to establish a record that will staud for some time With enough good lueu collecting Sheridan believes that ho will he able to score 8,000 points. With only one man against him In 1000, and having practically no competition from this one man in many of tho events, ho scored tho record total. 7.383 points. Ho figure's that a man must be able to score 8,000 or more points to beat him. Sheridan is already shaping himself for the event. He has outlined a sys- MARTIN SHERIDAN, WORLD'S GKHATKhT AI.Ii AliOUND ATHLETE. tern of training and will continue at it throughout the winter and in the early spring will take part in many compe titions outdoors. Sheridan entered his tirst all around championship at Tech field, Brookllne. In 1005. capturing the title and hang ing up a world's record of (LSUO1!; points. In 1000 he did not defend his title, but In 1007 ho again entered the lists, capturing the championship with a new world's record score of 7.1!JO'i points. Martin was on the bench again iu 11)08, but competed again in 1!i00. when in winning tho event ho rolled up 7,38." points, the present world's record. The nearest approach to those figures was made by Fred Thomson, the Los Angeles collegian, who regis tered 0,001 points In taking the cham pionship at Chicago last season. Sher idan did not compete then. Jack Gillies, the Vancouver police man, who was beaten out only by eighty-two points for first honors by Thom4on and who. though he did no: win the event, is considered a better man than Thomson, surely will bo a competitor. Gillies' score was greater than the point score made by Tom Kieley, El Icry Clarke, Fred Powers, Harry Gill, Adam Gunn or any other former all around champion. Exports look for him to give Sheridan a hard battle for the honors. Bat Nelson's Hearing Destroyed. "Ring beatings have destroyed Bat tling Nelson's hearing. The Battler Is still a great fighter," oraculntes Owen Moran, "but he's as deaf as a hitching post. Why. ho can't even hoar the boll ring at the end of the rounds any more. I grabbed him by the arm five or six times when the ball rang and sent him to his corner." Annapolis to Play Princeton. It is announced that the Navy foot ball team will play Princeton next sea son at Annapolis, the match having been definitely arranged for either Oct. 21 or Oct. 28. X NO FEAR OF NEW BASE- f BALL BAT BEING USED. The latest suggestion to In crease the batting is that the round bat be changed for a square one, thus preventing the numerous foul tips and making tho game an old time slugging match. Fear not that such a change will bo made, for base ball owes its popularity to the fact that tho bat Is round. It is this bat which has as much to do to make the game uncertain as anything connected with it, if not more. Tho baseball loving jiubllc owes much to tho man who figured out tho use of tho round bat and placed tho bases ninety foot apart. To lengthen or shorten tho distance between tho bases would ruin baseball. As it Is now tho distance is Just great enough to make it possible for an lnfielder to throw out a batter If the ball is handled well nud not hit too slow, and yet a fast man hitting n slow ground er can beat It out truly an ideal condition. As for the rouud bat, it Is In this that so much of tho uncer tainty lies. Fortunately the men In charge of the rules are not allowing themselves to. be influenced by the many sugges tions to change the game, for they Reem to believe in the "leave well enough alone pol icy."

Annual Mardi Gras Event Billed For Feb. 25 to 27. The now year's automobile racing in tho south will begin in February. The third running of the so called Now Or leans Mardl Gras sliced carnival will bo held on Fob. Xi, 20 and 27. All arrangements have been completed. Their conditions liromlse a big field of curs.

The auto races are a relief from the monotony of peaceful pageants, fancy dress parages and other Mardl Gras doings. Moreover, a New Orleans show will be held in Feb ruary at the fair grounds during the progress of the meet. M'GRAW TO PLAY AGAIN. Manager of Giants Proposes to Get Himself into Condition For Season. The latest celebrity to make an ef fort to "come back" Is .Tohn McGraw, manager of tho New York Giants. Mc-H Graw has given it. out that he proposes to get himself In perfect condition this spring, as he Intends to play In many of the Giants' early games. McGraw got out of harness because of an Injured leg. This has been well rested and may have entirely healed, In which event there is no doubt that Mc Graw would still bo of great service to his team. There never was a cleverer batter than this same McGraw. Ho could tantalize a pitcher more than any of the great sluggers, for there was nothing about the art of worrying a pitcher that McGraw could not do. Of course McGraw may 1 like some of the other old fellows when ho starts to train he may find It too stren uous work to continue and give up the idea of playing again. Lacrosse Teams For Olympic Games. 15. Floorman of Vancouver plans to take two lacrosse teams to play at the Olympic games In Stockholm, Sweden, July 10 and 21, 1012.

New Woman's College In Egypt. The now woman soon may be an Im portant factor In old Egypt. A wom an's college has been started in Cairo along the same general lines as an American or English college for girls. Tho Institution was started as a part of a university founded two years ago by Prince Ahmed Fuad Pasha, uncle of the present khedlve of Egypt. Tho prince is enthusiastic about the new project, nnd. speaking of the school for Mussulman women, he said: "It was an experiment which I resolved upon after mature consideration, with, I con fess, some little misgiving. For nn oriental country, where the women are not emancipated and where, of course, they still wear tho face covering called a yashmak, this was rather venture some, but 1 am thankful to say that by the blessing of Providence people wore very little scandalized, and so success was assured. The young Indies are ordinary members of the communi ty who are not Intended for any pro fession. In fact, we have not as yet any degrees cither in law or in medi cine, although that will como before long, I hope, with a suitable increase of the means at our disposal. Lec tures on the history of womankind, on motherhood, on household life, on hy giene, and so forth, are the staple Items in the teaching on the female side, and those on motherhood 1 con sider of vital importance, more partic ularly in a country like Egypt." Blue Horsehair Chair Covers. There aro no pale blue horses outside of dream books, but there are several pale blue horse chairs in Continental Memorial hall, in Washington, fur nished aiid designed on historical mod els by the Maryland chapter of tho Daughters of the American Revolu tion. The chairs are after a pattern still extant In the Hamilton Fish fam ily of New York. The frames are of deep mahogany, and all have great glass claws and well carved pedestals. The sideboard is of dark, carved ma hogany, and ou each side are big ma hogany receptacles for knives, forks and spoons. There are roomy settees, and the table no doubt will furnish the model for the housekeeper who in clines to the most graceful and useful model of the colonial banquet hall. The drapings are to be of blue, in colonial prints, hung from the massive lambrequin frames which were so dear to the ancient dames of the republic. Good Way to Mend a Rug Fringe. If your rug has a torn fringe do not put it in the attic, but mend tho fringe. It Is very easy to do and well worth your pains. Cut off all the fringe, get n piece of pasteboard four Inches square and wind around it yarn of a color to match the rug. Wind the yarn one way around tho pasteboard five or six times and slip It off. Then put one end of tho yarn through the end of the rug and pull the other end through and clinch it. Keep this up uutll you got all the way across the end of the rug. If only a little torn and you can match the fringe exactly you do not need to cut off all that is there. This method, of course. Is equally good for any fabric fringe. When Guests Appear.

Marguerite Audoux, a Parisian sew ing woman, lias recently received the prize of $1,000 offered by La Vie lieu reuse for tho best book published iu Franco during the year. Tho book, "Mario Claire." Is for the most part autobiographical. It consists of Inci dents in the life of Mile. Audoux. who did not begin writing until a few years ago. when she was obliged to give up sowing on account of threatened blind ness. Mile. Audoux confesses to little knowledge of French writers, but the novels of Charles Dickens and Charles Headc in their French translations were her favorite reading. She says that these novels and the Bible con stituted her sole literary training. Tho book iu France has nlready gone Into Its tenth edition and Is soon to be translated into English. Octave Mlrbeau, a noted French critic, says: "Artistically It is the equal of any work by the great authors of Franco. Its exquisite charm lies In its flue simplicity nnd absolute sincerity." Says Wife Should Aid In Business. Lady Hope thinks a woman who helps her lmsbaud with his business is the ideal helpmeet. "A man's two am bitions." says she. "are his home and his career. His homo is often the mak ing of his enreor, if ho has a tactful, restful wife of a cheerful and haiipy disposition. I cannot, help thinking the ideal woman should be true to the first pattern. She must bo n helpmeet to the man. 'It is not good for man to live alone' were the initiatory words pronounced on her introduction to this beautiful world.. Today, though thou sands of years have passed by since then, the same motto holds good, and mou who have the truest views of life and its responsibilities will be found to concur in It. Woman finds her great est rewards in life by maintaining her rightful jiosition that is, by being a good mother, a good daughter and a good sister and, above all, a good wife. Could any one estimate her influence too highly if she fills these jiosltions well?" If You'd Have a Handsome Gown.
