AUGUST COASTING.
4 Novel Summer Amusemens-How the
Sport Il Conducted.

a Novel Summer Amusemen.-How the
Sport IL Conducted.
1t was on the afternoon of the very
warmest dayin August that the children
came running to me crying:
There are some bows and girls from
the village out on the hill. and some
from the hotel on the mountain. and
they all have brought their sleds"
1t seemed such a puzzle to me that
rose and went out to see wha. was 60
ing on.
When I reached the spacious balcony
l was almost convinced that the whole
valley had been bewitched
There we're gathered at least twenty
children and half a dozen s!eds. The
bows were dragging the sleds up the
steep slope of the hill side that rose
from the road in front of the house.
while the girls followed after as well as
they could.
1t was not BY any means al easy feat
to climb this slope.
Though at q casual glance it seemed
as soft and velvety as well-kept lawn.
it was to the unwary delusion and a
snare. The midsummer sun shines
down upon the Adirondack mountains
with as much ardor as on the CITY
streets. Though the nights are cool
frequently even cold. there are no dews.
and usually but little rain. So the
short thick grass that grows abundantly
upon the sides of the lesser mountains,
or. more properly speaking. the foot
hills. becomes somewhat parched and
smooth. and as slippery as ice. The
children. then, had before them quite
an amount of hard walking. but those
children were like mountain-goats,
hardy. willing. and able to climb any,
thing.

last the top was reached. Then. the
sleds Were turned upside down. and the
runners were rubbed vigorously with
easdtes; this completed. the sleds We're
PIT in proper position again. three chill
drea seated themselves upon each. and
gentle push started them down the
slope
How swiftly they came! The slope
was steep but smooth: not rock. stump
or stone on its surface: there vas no
danger. and the sleds stopped on the
sandy ra2d.
For two long hours this colony of
children eeasted-till the grass was
worn almost to the roots. and the sup
ply of talloW (Which is indispensable for
this midsummer aoasting) was ex-
hausted.
After all the little ones were weary,
