| Jack Wampler is becoming quite an
adept On snowshnes. He puts his spare
time In practicing on them, and it is mol
improbable that he will have a race with
Capt. Wright of the North Stars before the
carnival is over. Jacks legs are very long
winded.
A very funny thing occurred on the RAM
sey street slide a few nights ago. There
was a tall stalwart-lOOking tObOgganer
whose lower limbs would have made Apollo
ashamed OF his eXtTemities, 80 shapely and
muscular were they. lie was admired e.
| pecially by the ladies, who would steal COW
! ert glances ar his knickOrbOckers and leg
! gins and give vent 10 their admiration i'm
| little whisperings among themselves. He
was an excellent Steerer and the
ladies delighted u ride down the Hill on a
tObOggan with him at the helm. During
| one OF the trips down. the Apollo with his
| load, took the lead and was followed By
| large tOboggan iilled with ladies. Somehow
the rear tObOggan nan into the one ahead
and the ladies, Apollo and all took an un-
ceremoniOus tumble into the snow. When
/ they climbed to their feet Apollo stood
[ a. Ii. -
/ the ladies began 10 smoker and hide their
/ faces behind each Others back. One of the
/ gentlemen in the company stepped up a.
! Apollo and whispering said, for - sake.
\ what's the matter with your calves?" The
man of muscular frame looked quickly
down and saw through hole in his leggim
/ a stream of Oat meal pouring out on the
snow. while his shapey calf was rapidly
shrinking in size. lie didn't say word.
/ but picking up the rope of his tObOggan
started OF down the hill i'm the direction O,
/ his clearinghouse, and he hasn't been seen
on the slide since.

Capt. Adams of the WakOutas created
sensation a few nights ago when he ap
peared on the slide singing the following
! lines TO the tune of ''See Saw"
/ Bec-chO. bee-cho.
\ little push and away we go
Sliding, gliding,
DER the glistening path of snow.
| Bee-cho. bee-cho
Clear the track for we're swift You know,
| Shouting, laughing,
As we fly TO the plain below.

The "ROyal Route is issuing a cOmpli-
mentary engraving representing the ice
palace as seen by electric light. The Ell
craving is very pretty souvenir and fac
simile OF the one appearing In Frank Les
lies last week.
There were but very few visitors to the
ice palace grounds yesterday; the mercury
was too low to render standing around
huge pile of ice attractive and pleasant, but
| the builders were there just the same and
| the structure kept growing. The tObOggan
slides presented a lively scene. and the
skating Kinks were dotted with muffied
skaters who defied the cold wave and ell
| ioyed themselves.
