ATTRAcTIyE.-To our eye.the chief attrao
ton, in skating, is the ease, grace and conf.
dence with which the skater moves. A person
who walks handsomely generally skates hand
somely. Of course it Ia great accomplish
ment to skate backwards cut handsome cir
cles, backwards and forwards cut spread
eagles, figure eights, &C., &c. make hand
some figures ON the ice dance, waltz, ct Get
era. All these things are necessary to an
accomplished skater but if possessing all
these, the skater moves awkwardly, has an
awkward twist of the body, careless hand
ling of the feet, and is unable to assume any
graceful figure on the ice. or take an attitude
approachable to what might be called CLASH
CAL such person can hardly expect to rank
among the first.
We paid considerable attention to the
movements Of the gentlemen on the ice, yes
terday, for the reason that we have desire
that they, as we'll as the ladies, should excel
those OF other places We have some fine
skaters, but there is room for great improve
ment. which will come if they practice indus
triously. The finest skater we saw, was Mr..
W. S. Rsser, teiegrapher and clerk in the
railroad freight depot There may be better,
but we did not see them
