closed, has been an unusually lively
one, and the st. Paul amateurs have
acquitted themselves in most credita-
BILE manner. Never before have the
Sanity City skaters turned =. out such
speedy work, and their performances
throughout the season have demon
strated that they are not far behind the
best in the world. Probably in no other
city in this country have so many skat-
ing contests occurred of equal merit as
have taken place in this city the
past winter, and the reputation Of the
st. Paul skaters is slowly but surely
climbing up, and there is scarcely
doubt that next winter several of the
st. Paul boys will be equally as well
known outside of their own homes as
are Donoghue, Johnson and other Amer
lean amateurs. The St. Paul Cycle
club has been leading factor in skat-
ing circles the past winter, and the
Minnesota state championship for one
and three miles has been settled under
its auspices.
B. Bird now holds the one-mile cham
pionShip, with a record of 800 As.
j. Nilsson, the Flour City lad, captured
the three-mile event, with a record of
9:5S 1-5. A number of
Match Races
and minor contests have occurred, the
results of which will be found in the
table below. Two long-distance con-
tests were skated, and the results were
far ahead of expectations. b. Bird
proved the winner OF one of them, a
tWenty-fve-miie event, and A. ID. Smith
won the other. fifty-mile race, and
both were made in fast time. q
twenty-five trial. against the worlds
record, was made by A. ID. Smith, who
succeeded in breaking it, and lowering
the worlds best time l m 80 sec. In
the fifty-mile race. Northwestern CON-
petition record for fifty miles and Min
nesota records for all distances from
six miles up to fifty were established by
Smith. In the twenty-hVe-mile trial.
which took place week ago, the time
made is the best recorded Ill the world,
and if Smiths record is accepted by the
Eastern skating authorities, he Will hold
all worlds records from eleven miles
up to twenty-five. They will stand as
Northwestern records in any event. The
results of the numerous contests that
have taken place during the season are
