which was skated by A. ID. Smith last
Saturday evening. have been prepared,
and will be forwarded either today or
tomorrow to the Eastern skating author
tiles. Whether three timekeepers are
absolutely required TO place all event on
record is point upon which the local
skaters are in doubt, but, inasmuch as
the feat was SO clearly and honestly ac-
complished, efforts will be made to Sc
cure the recognition which is fairly de-
served. Certificates from the time
keepers and ScorekeeperS have been
secured, so that there is no doubt oil
those points. As TO the size of the
track, the surveyors certificate shows
that at the time of the fifty-mile race,
the distance skated was from fifteen to
twenty-five feet over for each recorded
mile, and on Saturday evening. in the
twenty-five-mile trial, the distance
actually Skated was considerably in
creased even over that in the tfty-mile
event for the same distance, as there
was a strip of snow, ranging in width
from three to five feet, at the inside or
the track, which compelled Smith to
skate just that much nearer to the out
side of the track, instead OF being able
TO skate close to the pole" That the
time is the fastest ever Skated III tue
world, there is no doubt, and Smith has
been kept busy receiving the c0ngratu-
latiOns OF his friends. A trophy en-
blematlc of his achievement is being
prepared, and will be presented to him
by the rink management.
