THE SKATING HATCH.

Great Crowds Around the Windsor Hoo
tel-A Fair Start, but No Race-The
Crowds Too Great and the Affair Adam
dOned.
Tho anticipated race on parlor skates between
Gilmore and Smith, which was announced TO take
place from the Windsor Hotel in Fifth avenue,
last evening, drew out q crowd OF people COM
posed OF gentlemen, ladies' ioafers and boys, which
from eight O'Clock steadily accumulated until
there could not nave been less than 5000 persons
on Fifth avenue Indeed, 1t became q nuisance to
the hotel and to passers-by. The fact that the
race was announced for eight and that no
signs Of the skaters were TO be seen gave
the very general impression that the whole thing
was hoax. sundry references were made t TO
were told OF the Trinity steeple flying feat, the
Philip Lee hoax and other celebrated 'sells." In
the meantime the crowd OF small boys exhausted
some OF their exuberant spirits by laughing at
their seniors, and using such familiar phrases as
what SELL" and Amt you greenf" DC. The
risbles OF the disappointed crowd We're excited
for q time in this manner. At length, how
ever, in spite OF all the joking about 1t,
the two skaters did appear and passed
rapidly into the hotel. In few moments they
came out with their skates, and, putting them on,
was very soon interrupted BY Q policeman, VINO
was received By the CROWD with the greatest yell
ever heard IN tnat portion OF the city. Smith and
Gilmore then started down the avenue, with the
swell preceding and following them and some ten
minutes elapsed before they returned, without
such GROVE at their heels was simply impossible,
and that they would deter the trial to another
time. They expected TO get to the Filth Avenue
Hotel and back inside OF eight minutes.
