carnival matters, while looking at the badge
offered for snOwshoe hurdle-racing, "of
course, our st. Paul boys can't expect TO
win it, as they are all Impractical men in
hurdle-leaping on shoes. 1t requires a great
deal of practice to acquire anything like
perfection in this sport, and professionals
who come here to contest with the boys for

the North Stars is the only man in the city

ambition will prompt them to try for it, but

medal go out of the city if it has to.
