Russia IS the land in which to sec skat-
ing" wrotean Englishman, as he stood on the
bridge over the frozen Moika canal, st. Pc.
tersburg, and saw four score young skaters,
Of both sexes, apparently able to go through
the same evolutions on the ice that bat does
in the air
As man is not born skating animal, even
in Russia this gentleman saw beginners using
a large wooden chair to assist their sprawling
efforts. The chair is about five feet high, is
placed on skates, and has two long, curved
arms jutting out in front
The skaters formed themselves in lines, nine
OF ten persons deep, and, keeping time to the
music of band, interviewed in a series of
graceful figures, the groups melting Off into
single couples, which came together in lines
of new figures.
The Englishman crossed the frozen Neva in
a novel vehicle, green wooden chair placed
on skates five feet long. In front were two
boards on which he rested his feet, while rest
ing his hands on its arms. A man propels the
chair by skating and pushing it before him
The motion is pleasant, and SO fast that toe
man has occasionally to act as a drag
