The managers of the rink did themselves
proud TUESDAY night. For some four weeks

huge trunk full of all kinds of rigs, and when
at S O'Clock we entered the spacious rink the
floor was covered with more strange figures
than were ever seen in this little hamlet No
one was allowed on the floor without a mask
and everyone had costume, some Of which
were simply immense. There was ''Pocahon-
tas, ''the brave Indian maiden around whom
such halo of romance has been woven, and
there was ''Peironuette," who vainly tried To
disguise her skating aud who bet dollar she
would not be known, in , very pretty rig in
deed. Then there was 'Follyr In spangles
and blue silk, to which was fastened innu-
merable bells, and the 'Little Polish Grip

that airy lightness we are wont 10 couple with
them, but whose costume outshone all Others

Christmas week has been lively one in
Baldwin and the amount OF business done at
the stores simply enormous. Mynheer Hirsch

add to the attraction be placed large Christ
mas tree in one corner and loaded it down.
It was stripped of its beauty Christmas morn

lively with him. At Scrbner & Rasmuseu's
