SwIFTNRss IN SKATING.-ln some countries swift
ness upon the ice is desired and sought after
than elegance In Friesland, a country noted for
its very rigorous winters, regular course is
formed upon the ice, and males and females Join in
the skating contest. 1t is very common thing fer
the men to be most shsmefully beaten by the women
in these races. In 1908, at Goldingen, two women
entered on contest in prize skating race, and
accomplished the distance of thirty miles in two
hours. speed of fifteen miles an hour has many
times been recorded shaving been accomplished
on skates. In Canada swift skating is thought
most of in connection with the accomplishment
Blaine records an instance Of an officer in the army
skating from Montreal to Quebec, a distance OF
over one hundred and seventy miles, in one day.
When we consider that the ice on a river like the
st. Lawrence is not quite smooth as the Central
Park pond ice it must be acknowledged that the
feat was difficult one and required a little perse-
verance. Lincolnshire, in England is noted for
Its fens, which in severe winters freeze over and
form a splendid wide and CLASSY surface to glide
over. Lincolnshire men are very often swift ska
tiers, and an instance is recorded of one man hav-
ing skated mile in two minutes and fifty eight
seconds

AFFAIRS ON THE IsTHMgs OF PANAMA. Wash
ington correspondent says:
Representations have been made to the govern
ment of the critical condition which our vast COM
mercial interests exposed on the Isthmus of
Panama. 1t is well known that there are more
than 700 men in the service of one of the military
functionaries of that country, now on the Isthmus
subssting only by forced contributions. There is
nothing to prevent these desperate men from at
tacking the trains of treasure passing the rail
road, which they could easily do at any moment
by causing the train to be thrown from the road.
1t is understood that there is no adequate protec
tion in the terminus of the road, and it must be
apparent, however important the demand for ma
val vessels to protect domestic interests, some
movement should be made to keep open this great
highway to the Pacific. The government are un-
derstood to have the subject under consider alton,
and will probably take early action in the matter.
