On THE ICE ON THE MISSISSIPPI AT ST. LOUIS
Yesterday was gala day the ice in the river op-
posite this city. At least two thousand persons
took the journey across the bosom Of the Father of
Waters as dry shod, safely and in good condition as
did the host Of sraeites through the bottom of the
Red Sea. The point Of crossing was opposite the
mouth of Chestnut street. and the place OF recreation
was strip of clear ice about hundred yards wide
and extending for mile up and down the Illinois
shore. Upon this smooth surface were sporting all
day long hundreds and hundreds of men and boys.
Women were there, too, looking on and enjoying the
fun. Or course so large crowd had to be accom-
modated with drinks The river had frozen over
and water could not be procured for love or money.
few benevolent individuals Of city, therefore,
went across and undertook to supply the general
thirst. One man struck q tent and had painted in
large letters over the entrance Jake's House."
Around this hosptable spot azores were crowding
all day long, anxious to sake their thirst. ALI kinds
Of liquors were served up in regular barr0om style.
ice, where the weary skaters and hose who had en-
dured the fatigue of trip acress the river, were
abundantly refreshed. Not o few Of our citizens
who generally suffer the collie on Sundays, and COM
plain Of the pRDhibitory law might be seen, from
time to time, making the transit for their healths
sake and to test the strength of many other
things beside that of the ice. To accommodate
other tastes Of our people, wagon load of peanuts
was hauled across and rapidly sold out at at dime
pint. In the afternoon, the moderation Of the
weather had sofened the ice so that but little en-
oyment was had in skating; nevertheless the stream
Of pedestrians to and fro along the path which
wound among the Jagged fragments OF ice, was
kept up all day. Up near the Shot Tower there
was another gang of men and boys enjoying them
selves. We heard OF accidents during the day.
