Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly.— The 



prolonged winter made ice-yachting possible eren 

 into what is Kenerally retXHrded as spring, so that 

 the attractions and perils of this peculiar amuse-

 the April number of Frank Leslie's Popular 

 Monthly Rives the history of these vessels, their 

 present popular forms, and describes vividly the 

 exhilerating sensations of a spin over the glassy 

 ice in one of these fleet vehicles. Mr. F. B. Mayer 

 takes us from the ice and its pleasures to the 

 balmier Chesapeake, and introduces us to the old 

 towns and manors of the western shore of Mary- 

 land, giving illustrations from his own artistic pen- 

 cil. Also many other very interesting articles.
