home with his blood tingling from invig-

the grand carnival in Montreal on snow
shoers' night, when some 2. 900 members
of the different clubs. all clad In their
blanket costumes, after storming the
Ice Palace, form in line and tramp up
the winding path around Mt. Royal,
each one bearing torch, is indeed
grand and picturesque sight. Some idea
of the speed that can be made on snow

CANADIAN WINTER SPORTS.

For the CHRISTMAS HERALD.

For the CHRISTMAS HERALD.
This is the season OF the year the
average Canadian IS apt TO experience q
feeling of Inconsistencies. and wish him
self within the borders Of his mother
country for the winter at least, and why
mott for Canada can justly be called the
home OF winter sports. Toboggsning is
probably the greatest and most invigor-
ating OF al winter sports, and added to
the fact that it can be enjoyed by both
sexes, II can be highly commended as
pleasant pastime. A degenerate form
of the sport is INDUCED in in this part
OF the country under the name Of
''coasting. Let anyone who has en-
loveitha mild pleasure, imagine him
self on toboggan rushing down q steep
hill at the rate of mile a minute, the
quick descent sending the swiftly cours-
ing blood to the cheeks, making the
maidens all the more beautiful and
they will soon say that coasting must
retire into the background as compared
with ,obogganing. 4 young American
lady, who was visiting Montreal at the
time of the winter carnival some wears
ago, was invited 10 take ride with a
Canadian friend. Upon being asked
how she enjoy ed 1t and replying that she
Would not have missed il Tor thou
sands, +" she was asked if she would like
TO Try It again. wheieupon she cooIly
said: NO; not for millions" So, II
will be seen that the sport is not only
pleasant but also considered little
dangerous. The largest slides are at
Montreal and Quebec and otner towns
and cities boast of smaller ones, while liz
a great many other places they resort TO
the less invigorating pastime OF coast
ing. That tObogganIng il fast gaining
q firm foothold in the States is evil
dent by the fact that clubs are being
formed in different cities and slides
erected in various parts of the country
both by clubs and private individuals.
Snow shoeing ard skating rank next
TO tobogganing. IL is very amusing TO
watch the novice in the former branch
of sports tramping along, all OF a sud-
I den to Ego overheard, and scrsmbling
around in the deep snow TO get ION

this sport he must join one Of the many

nuts began to fall, there Was much scramb-

when all were gathered many pleasant
evening was spent cracking them by the fire.
