SKATING RACES TODAY.
Lively Sport Within the Walls of
Fort KarniVaI.

At $3.50 this afternoon the skating
tournament will be opened at Fort Kar-
nival. These races will be exciting
right from the start, and the North
vests fleetest amateur skaters are en-
tered. 1t is true that some of the crack
professionals are not in the event, but

Client to keep things as lively in that

handsome and well worth the working
for. If some records are not broken
