SO to first and SIS to second. There were
three entries, viz: Joseph CoursoI, John
BlueStone and Jim Jones. After the Sec
ond lap one of the latter's snOwshOes was
broken, which retired him from the race,
which was won easily by Coursoll; time,
4:45.
The next race was one mile. for profess
sional snowshOers, for gold and silver
medal, and excited good deal of interest
because OF the fact that the two entries were
III. T. Cameron of Winnipeg, who is the
champion of two Montreal carnivals and the
winner Of the snowshoe hurdle race last
week. and p. j. Concannon of st. Paul.
who is known to be good runner. Con-
cannon had the inside at the send-Off, but
Cameron got slightly ahead on the first lap
and retained the lead TO the finish, winning
by few secOndsr time; 7:45. He has run
the distance much faster, but the track was
slippery and consequently slow.
Next came the half-mile race for anna
teurS. gold medal to first. silver medal to
second and third. There were six entries,
viz: James Handy of the Winnipeg Snow
shoe club, James Williams. George Cook
and J. a. VOORHEES, of the Keweena.g
SnOwshoe club, st. Paul; j. z. Crooks
Of the Seven Corners SnowshOe club.
ST Paul, and j. B. Vosberg of the
st. Georges Snowshoe club, St. Paul. On
the second lap Crooks slipped and fell and
soon retired from the race VOORHEES, and
VOsberg also gave it up after two or three
laps, and the other three, James Handy
james Williams and George Cook. came TO
the finish in the order named, Cook picking
himself up from fall and then making the
last lap in good shape. The time was
1888.
The last race was half-mile professional
for gold and silver medal, and the run
ners were again II. T. Cameron of Winni-
peg and p. J. ConcannOn of st. Paul.
Cameron won; time 3:12.
After the snOwshOe races the two In
dians, George Crooks, or Wakanojanjan,
and Harry Bluestone, or Pazahiyaye, who
tied for a 150-yard dash Wednesday, ran
the race off, the latter winning the purse
of So.

with great difficulty owing to the absence
of tools. The smallest articles consist
mainly of cooking utensils and nautical
instruments. Boots of sealskin, which they
ate in their dire extremity. are to be seen,
and also the lens of a telescope, which was
used as burning glass to light matches.
The pair of scales is very ingeniously made.
Here also is the little rubber bag which
they filed with ice and placed near their
bodies, the ice being thus melted into drink
ing water. This sad but interesting cOllec-
ton will recall many painful memories of
the narrowing accounts published of that
ill-starred expedition.

reached the Ryan.

people think him rather reserved and frigid
in his manner. but the genial spirit of the
carnival season thawed him out, and when
he thaws he melts and goes in for all the
fun there is going.
Ii. NJ. Peyton is the solid financial man
among the visitors. He came to the head
of Lake Superior twenty-five years ago and

were taken yesterday 20 the palace grounds
and placed in showcases in the wooden

Scene of Revelry Beneath n Clear
Sky and Smiling stars.

A clear sky hung over the city last night
and the pale stars twinkled like the camp
fires of unseen hosts on the azure plain,
while the young moon rode down the west
ern heavens trailing her shimmering robes
over the restless world below. 1t was such
a night as drives poets to madness and
freights front gates with ambitious lovers.
The scene at the palace grounds was one
that the lover of grandeur could look upon
and forget that he lived in world where
existence depends on saving wood
at so cents a cord or manufac-
turing sewers at dollar a day.
1t seemed that some geni had
waved his magic wand through the air and
produced a quarter section Of Utopia and
placed it on dress-parade for the benefit Of
spectators at the rate of % cents head.
1t was grand sight as one approached the
grounds coming up from the roar and rattle
of the streets of the city. Across his path
way was arched the grand entrance beauti-
fully tlnged with red, royal purple and
silver, while the abutments lifted their
massive heads on either side, standing like
grim sentinels placed there to guard the

sNOwsHOE RACES.
Interesting Exhibitions at the Pal
ace Grounds.

There was a very good attendance at the
palace grounds yesterday afternoon. The
curling bonspiel, the snowshoe and Indian
races, besides skating. tobogganing and the
ice palace proving sufficient attraction to
make the grounds present a lively scene.
The snowshoe races, were apart from the
curling match, the most interesting. A
course for them had been prepared around
the ice palace. that structure forming the
inside of the track and wire stretched
few feet away serving as a barrier to keep
away the crowd. Just previous to these
races. which were at O'Clock, the Indians,
resplendent in finery, feathers and paint,
paraded about the grounds to the monoton-
Gus tum-tum of a nailkeg with skin
stretched over the end and called a drum.

halt in front of the palace, where the band
was discoursing music and where every

DOWN FROM DULUTH.
Big Delegation Visits the Carnival
CITY.

One of the best-natured parties that has
arrived in st. Paul for some time came in
yesterday afternoon over the Omaha road,
from Duluth. 1t is said by some who are
familiar with them when they are in their
own city, and haven't on toboggan suits,
that they represent the solid citizens and
the boys. Some of them were accom-
panied by their wives, there being about
twenty ladies in the party. The excursion
lists left Duluth at $50 yesterday morning,
and at "a little past yesterday afternoon they
had reached Hudson, where a delegation
from st. Paul organizations met them.
They were little hoarse for they had
shouted their club yell at all the stations
between Duluth and the place of meeting.
and between stations had sung the club ode.

they were in condition to give a warm
reception to the gentlemen that boarded

has more than one. Another point in favor
of Milwaukee is that whine only three rinks
from that city were represented. two of
them passed successfully through two Sc

been shown by any other city. Still the
contest is far from being settled, although

the third. The ''by'' rink which has to
wait for the other two to play will be
obliged to play a game. in order that the
members will not have the advantage of
being fresh when they begin play with the
winner of the other game. who will have
had several hours hard work. 1t has been
decided that the ''by' rink shall play with

The Curling Kinks Reduced TO ST
by Yesterdays Play.

by Yesterdays Play.
The great curling bonspiel proceeded at
the palace grounds yesterday all day with
continually increasing interest. At the
conclusion of the days play it was known
that the contest would be reduced to six
rinks and there was great deal of anxiety
as to which these would be. There is not
only laudable and good-natured rivalry
among the rinks, which makes each one
deslrous to win. but all seem to have fallen
in love with the beautiful and costly cup
offered by the carnival association, and
each is desirous of carrying home the
trophy. The weather had favored the bon
spiel and the ice was not only much i'm
proved but there was more of it, While
