THE ICE YACHT RACE YESTERDAY- The Iroquois Wine, With the Now Then A Good Second. The first ice yacht race of the season was held yesterday under the auspices of the Excelsior Ice Yacht club and was a success considering the state of the ice. There was a stiff breeze blowing from the south and when the yachts struck a smooth piece of ice the speed attained was something great. The course was of about eight miles, extending from a line at the south end of the breakwater to a buoy in front of the old Champlain dock, to a buoy fronting the pumping station, returning to the finish at the south end of the breakwater. The course was traversed three times in order to make the required distance.

The yachts which entered were The Iroquois, owned by Johnson Now Then, Henry Chiott; Cyclone, Daley Laplant; tSay When, Alec Croto; Sagwa, Steven Love joy; Nellie Ely. E. A. Goodsell: Calamity. Edgar Chiott.

The Iroquois finished first in abott 21 minutes. Now Then second, Cyclone third. THE SWEDES ARE COMING- Twenty-five to 30 Families Start for Vermont April 1. Commissioner Valentine was in town last evening, passing through here on his way to Wrshire. To a Frkk Press reporter he stated that Nordgren had been successful ia completing arrangements for the immigration of from 25 to ilO families of Swedes to Vermont's so-called abandoned farms.

These families average about five members each and the total number of this party will exceed 100. They expect to leave Sweden April 1, and to arrive in Vermont about April 16. The company will be divided into three small colonies, one of which will probably be located in Windham county, another in Windsor county and the third in Orange. They are representatives of the best class of Swedish immigrants. Commissioner Valentine, in answer to inquiries regarding the progress of his work, stated that he was about to issue another circular the last before completing his report to the Legislature with a special view to securing information relative to the State's manufacturing industries, quarries nd mines, and the dairy.

TO MAPLE SUGAR MAKERS. Advi that is Worth Money if Heeded. I. H. ilcClary says: During my recent visit to the West I have learned that there is a growing disposition among the buyers of maple sugar against soft, sour and burned sugar.

The buyers of maple sugar claim it is not right to buy sugar that is burned, or sour and not properly made, at the same price at which others sell the best quality; and further, they do not want and cannot use this lower grade sugar, as it is unmerchantable for the purposes for which they want it, namely, melting and making maple 'syrup. Buyers of maple sugar in the West insist upon taking only well made, sound sugar, free from the irregularities mentioned, and maple sugar in new, clean tubs is the most desirable; susar in tins is not so saleable as in tubs. This settson I must refuse all that is at reduced Farmers that make first quality of maple sugar will get full market price for it, and the poorer quality will Lave to le sold as such, and the same grading that applies to butter will apply to sugar in the purchase of the same. Packages Use new, clean tubs of about 50 pounds or more. Do not use any old dirty sap buckets, as good sugar in this package is not desirable and will have to be eold at less price than it is worth.

Death of Capt. Anderson. William allace Anderson, who died at 9.20 yesterday morning at his residence on St. Paul street, where he has lived for the past oO years, would have been, had he lived until the 13th of this month, 85 years of age. About the year 1826 Capt.

Ander sun took command of the McDonough, i small steamer running between St. Albans Bay and Plattsburgh, and up to the time of his retirement from active life some 12 years ago, had been in continuous command of dif xerent steam vessels on laKe cnamplain, a term of service probably never equalled on the lake. A more extended notice of Capt. Anderson life will appear later. Mr.

Sutton's Dark Spot. Was it a bad case of premonition that led Mr. E. M. Sutton to send this desponding message to the Brattleboro Tariff Reform league last week He said am with you.

Wishing you prosperity and success renin in, etc. liurlington found a decidedly dark spot yesterday in Mr. Sutton's horizon, any how. A strange Accidsnt.

hile Jennie Doud, aged 12, was walking down Pearl street yesterday about 1 :30 1' a large black dog which was following a team ran out at her from Clark street, and after chasing her a short distance trip- pod her up. The girl fell so that the back of her head struck the flagging, and the force of the shock and fright combined threw her into convulsions. -Mr. W. H.

Livingston and Mr. John C. Farrar, who happened along at the time, picked up the girl and carried her into the Howard Relief building, where she was cared for. She is not thought to be seriously injured. NORTH HERO.

Descriptive treaifse with each bottle; or address Mack Drug MAYOR CROMBIE IAND CITY JUDGE PECK HANDSOMELY RE-ELECTED. Tho City Overwhelmingly Republican nd the Demoerata Hopelessly Divided Alderman Storrs Re-elected la the First Ward and Alderman Paine kand la the Second No Other Ward Contest. Yesterday's municipal election resulted in a victory for respectable government. Mayor Crombie and City Judge Peck being re-elected by surprisingly large majorities. Mr.

Sutton made the greatest effort of his life in his attempt to reach the mayor's chair. It was a glorious failure, and as a candidate for the mayoralty Mr. Sutton may now be regarded as a back number. Mr. Hare was told for the second time that the people of Burlington did not require his services as city judge, and the rebuke was so emphatic that he is likely to receive a lesson from it.

To the credit of many democrats be it said that they repudiated the nominees of their party and either voted for the republican candidates or remained away from the polls altogether. Two years ago when there were two candidates for mayor and city judge the republican majorities were 77 and 15 respectively. Yesterday the majorities were 224 and 256. The only other real struggle was over the office of alderman from the First Ward and there the contest was not on party lines but over two worthy republicans. It resolved itself into the question whether or not Alderman Storrs was deserving of a second term and a large majority of the voters declared that he was.

Mr. Taft has done good service for the city and his ward as alderman in years past and the opposition to him was in no sense of a personal character. He made as good a run as any man in the ward could have made under the circumstances and his defeat is no discredit to him. The Second Ward is so overwhelmingly republican that Mr. Stockwell's candidacy for the office of alderman was only a matter of form and Mr.

Painchaud was re-elected by a large majority. The story of the other wards is quickly told. Alderman Rand was re-elected in the Third Ward, the republicans making no nomination. K. G.

Severson was elected in the Fourth Ward without opposition on the part of the democrats. Alderman Lyman was not opposed by the democrats in the Fifth Ward. C. E. Allen, J.

R. Kelley and W. H. Lane, were elected school commissioners in the First, Third and Fifth wards, respectively, without opposition. The voting list contained 2635 names, and the total vote cast for mayor was 1858, showing that 777 voters failed to exercise their right.

The general result Is one that cannot fail to be very gratifying to all who have the best interests of our city at heart. All these, be they republicans or democrats, will say that it was glory enough for one day. Fallowing is a summary of the vote by wards MAYOR AND CITY JUDGE. The Vote for Mayor.

IS Per Ton With no Takers of Contracts The Local Supply. The ice fever continues unabated in this vicinity and there are even indications of a till greater squeeze in the market than has been experienced. The prediction in these columns of a higher price for ice was followed yesterday morning by the announcement that a dealer from New York was offering $1.15 a ton for ice and could get no contractor at that price, even the local dealers having already taken contracts for all that they will be able to handle.

In the meantime those who are engaged in filling contracts are doing a driving business. Mr. A. O. Ferguson of the firm of Ferguson Bros, stated yesterday that they would have 200 men at work to-day or tomorrow.

They are now engaged in filling an immense ice- house for Scott fe Co. employing teams for the purpose at the rate of two tons per minute, They expect to have two steam elevators in working order with a 25 horse power engine in a day or two when they expect to harvest at the rate of 3000 tons a day. The moonlight nights are being taken advantage of to push the ice cutting to a late hour, the force having worked until 13 o'clock for the past two nights. The men are thus enabled to earn from $1.50 to $3.00 a day by working extra time. They are boarding 50 of their employes who occupy huts temporarily erected.

Ferguson Bros, will begin to-day to cut ice inside the breakwater for the local trade and expect to have 60 or 70 men employed in the harvest here. They think that they would have to charge 50 cents per 100 pounds next season for ice from Mallets bay. Mr. H. R.

Conger is also working a large force of men at Malletts bay and will harvest a large supply for the local trade. Mr. II. N. Coon is working night and day to secure a supply for his own business next season, and is securing about 1000 cakes a day.

He states that a considerable number of resident having caught the fever are erecting ice houses and contracting for a supply for their own use.JJ VERMONT PERSONALS. Ex-Gov. Samuel E.
