Palace Grounds.


Palace Grounds.
The snOwshOe races that were postponed
from Monday. Feb. l. came off in the
palace grounds yesterday afternoon, OPEN
ing about $50 o'clock. A circular course
had been laid out for the runners i'm the
northwest corner of the grounds, near the
main toboggan slide, $50 feet and inches
In circumference, which made il necessary
for the runner to make nine laps to the
mile. The track was too soft for easy run
ming, but had the weather remained as
cold as it had been for a week previous, the
course would have been I'm excellent con-
dition, barring an up grade of few feet on
the east side. A double wire fence
was strung around the course to
prevent the crowd from pressing
in and interfering with the runners About
5000 people had assembled around the
course and on the roofs of the booths when
the hour for starting had arrived, and the
contestants were watched throughout with
a great deal of interest.
The half-mile Indian race for a cash
prize Of SO to the first and 50 to the second
was the first one called. There were but
two entries, Big Cattle and Blue Stone.

AT THE GROUNDS.
The General Features of the Day as
Observed at the Palace.


Observed at the Palace.
There was very large attendance at the
grounds yesterday afternoon, the warm,
pleasant weather. snowshoe sports, tobog-
gaming, ETC., proving an attraction. But
little skating was done on account of the
softness of the ice, which. however, did not
prevent a few from indnlging heir fa-
vOrite sport. The toboggan slides were
thronged @ith people and Considerable slid
ing was done. The Indian dog teams and
the band of Sioux. who had decorated them
selves in war paint for the procession, par
AIDED about inside the grounds to the delight
of the spectators, and the proprietOrs of the
dog trains were kept busy hauling children
around. Nearly every child who sees these
strange turnoutS wants to ride, and many
were accommodated. much to the amuse-
ment of the little folks and their parents
and also Of the spectators.
There was constant stream of visitors
inside the palace, wandering from room TO
room. inspecting the statuary and the more
venturesOme climbing the ladders to obtain
view from the parapetS. The days warm
sun had very visible effect on the struc-
ture. The heat extracted the life from the
outside of the ice blocks, leaving them
white and brittle, but this was only on the
surface. the solid walls being capable Of
withstandmg many days of such weather.
On the southwest corner of the palace, as
the afternoon advanced, could be seen a
constant stream of water running down the
walls, which would prove very destructive
if continued for many days.
During the afternoon the Knights of the
Grip Carnival club assembled in front of
u palace to the number of forty and were

he castle in the background. The trans
parencies Of the club were included in the
pictures.

1t was o'clock when the curtains swung
apart and revealed a beautiful winter
scene especially prepared for the occasion,
with a magnificent painting Of the ice pal

them before. The chorus was followed by
a club drill. led by Capt. Tees The squad

In the third scene the club was found in
Beauregard's club house, supposed to be
the rendezvous of the club at ST. Bonita ce,

Mr.. Tallmadge was right All the seats
were full and not few spectators were
balancing themselves on their legs OF lean
ing up against the seats and raillngs TO get
as much enjoyment as possible out OF the
space that they occupied. IL had been
widely advertised that the st. George snow

every man. woman and child In ST. Paul
had suddenly become imbued with Gu

tiyes of the northern realms could en-

been placed In the hall. and these were
filled before quarter past s O'Clock. and
at half past the parquet circle was crowded
