FREEZING OF THE yEVs.
A Curious Recommendation the

New York Star.)

The freezing of the Neva generally
takes place in November 1t Gu
rious phenomenon. At first small
fakes of ice are observed on the sur
face, these quickly become such large
sheets that the bridges are hastily re
moved to prevent their being injured
or carried away. The freezing process
is wonderfully rapid. In one houl a
person may make his way IN a boat
through the floating ice, and in the
next be able safely to walk over the
stream. tits pack-ice, ard when thor
oughg fixed. footpaths and carriage
roads are smoothed on the surface and
planted ON each side With rows Of fir
trees. The sledge races on the Neva
are very exciting. Nor are rich
tableaux vivants around lacking The
Peterhoff road. Palace quay, ETC..
abound in them. The hustle OF the
sledges. bells OF the horses, cries of
the drivers, are amusing, whilst the
various costumes, costly fuis and rich
colors, contrast with the white crystal
lied city.
Thanks to the energy ofthe English.
there is fine skating ground on the
Neva, and the spectacle to be witness
ed there on any fine afternoon is most
animated |; ladies and gentlemen of all
nationalities skating with an ease and
sauoir faiie most charming; band
of music contributes to the enjoyment,
and the Examinations which sometimes
take place in the evening are brilliant
in the extreme; grand dukes, mobiles of
every degree and of all nations, ladies
in the most picturesque attire. join in
the exercise. The fun may be mag
ined Little wooden buts are erected
on the ice, and are kept well heated
for the accommodation of spectators.
Skating, then, NAV well be conceived
to have its charms; but the chief
national diversion is afforded by the
ice hills erected on the islands in the
Neva; these are consequently well
worth description. They are made
of timber raised to a height of some
forty feet, having steps on one side to
ascend and on the other steep de-
scent covered with ice. Water is
repeatedly poured on this, and the
surface is kept as smooth as glass.
Down this ladies and gentlemen
seated on small, low sledges-descend
with tremendous velocity, and, carried
along to the foot of another ice hill,
the steps are climbed and the expert
ment repeated.
! Many are the sights to be witnessed
OF the Neva. Not the least curious
are The reindeer with their owners, the
Samoides. They generally come down
from the far north m the winter; and
the funny diminutve figures of these
people, who. cladin skins, drive stand.
ing, pole in hand are very remarkable.
They considerably increase the pic.
turesque aspect d ths scene.
