The North Shore shares with Palm Beach the dis- 
tinction of seeing the first land sailboat, of which Vincent 
Astor is the owner. ‘The boat was built at Marblehead, 
and it was given a try-out on the ice at Chebacco Lake, 
Hamilton, only a few weeks ago. It is one >f the sen- 
sations of the Palm Beach season, as it “sails’’ over the 
hard sand. The man, who steers it by means of a long 
tiller, and the passengers, lie on a sort of a shelf on each 
side. It is possible to use the boat on ice, for it has been 
built so that skates may be adjusted to the tires.
