sports which New England has ever had.
The Queen City fairly eclipsed all its pre-

pilgrims in the sports offered incident to the
Inauguration of this ice festival. The streets
of the city presented gala appearance. flags,

on Main street, through which thoroughfare
runs the coasting hill tor traverses for dis

handsomely finished traverses, surrounded by
crowds of beautifully-costumed ladies and gar
ly-clad men, made up most picturesque scene

noon and just before the opening of the coast
ing hill At 2 o'clock the signal to start was
given, and the traverses with their human
freight sped toward the lake one by one at the
rate of nearly mile minute. Great crowds
lined both sides of Main street and watched
the fying traverses with excited interest.
The city was brilliantly illuminated to-
night, electric lights. torches, candles, gas
Jets, colored lanterns and fireworks combin-

MANY private residences and stores were
handsomely decorated with lanterns and
made resplendent with gas jets. The coast

electric lights Main street hill presented a
dazzling spectacle with its double row of
torches and its illuminated arches. It was a
late hour when this fairy scene came to a
close.
