TEsE CARNIVAL.
A Big Time Down at the Skating
Rink.

RINK.
The Polar Circle Skating Rink last
night presented a most lively and fantas-
tic appearance. The occasion was a carni-
val in earnest. The ice was in almost
perfect condition and q large crowd was
present. BY s o'clock all the seats around
the Rink and everywhere else were occu-
pied by spectators, while as many as
could get on the ice comfortably were
ready, in all sorts of queer costumes, to
launch out and glide on the crystal sur
face. At this hour precisely the Union
Guard Band struck up, in splendid tune,
the grand glide, which sent them all
waltzing and pirouetting every which way
in all sorts of 8aits. Our reporter staid
next the doorkeeper and took down
the names of the maskers as they
came in until 9 O'Clock. If any are
omitted it is because they were tardy by
more than an hour. The entertainment
was delightful in all respects. Messrs.
Kyle g. Mckay deserve the thanks OF tho
fun-loving portion of the community for
the energy they display in providing
such wholesome and exhilarating amuse-
ment. They are fully entitled to all
they make out Of the venture. There
was an occurrence at the skating which
should not be repeated. The managers
Of the RIM advertised Positively no one
allowed on the ice, unless masked, until
$3.50 o'clock" In spite OF this plain and
positive announcement there were several
persons who undertook to skate without
masks, and one or two, even, who con-
tinued to skate unmasked after being re-
monstrated with for breaking tho rule. 1t
is needless to say that such obstinscy In
dictates an utter disregard for ~propriety,
The principal charm Of the carnival was in
the DISCUSSES. The idea, and a very pleas
ing one, was that nobody, as far as posi-
Bile, should be known to anybody else.
When nearly everybody was incognito 1T
was unseemly for anybody, in violation OF
a positive rule, to insist on protruding his
uncovered face among the masquers.
1t would be an endless and not over
satisfactory task to speak Of the skaters in
detail, as to how they moved and how they
sustained their parts, etc., nor might the
criticism be altogether wholesome, for our
quid nunc, who is not anything on ice,
and might get off his feet in such wander
ings as the duty would require. He con-
tents himself with the skeleton, which he
hopes will at least be harmless.
