CITY.
FAST FIELDS ARE IN SIGHT.

FORMER NOT LIKELY TO BE

Country, With That Exception.
VIII Be Here.

The skating public of st. Paul is
looking forward with a great deal of
pleasure to the championship races of
the National Amateur Skating asso-
citation which will this year be held in
the West for the first time under the
auspices of the st. Paul Carnival as
ISOLATION. The interest in the racing
events is largely augmented by the
fact that there is scarcely young
person of either sex in the city who
is not an enthusiastic devotee of the
healthful and invigorating outdoor
sport of skating. Skating has always
been a popular diversion in st. Paul,
but with the increased opportunities
offered this year for indulgence in the
exhilarating pastime the craze, if it
may be termed such, has reached
such proportions that st. Paul might
we'll be termed the "City of Skaters"
The reasons for the popularity Of the
sport are easily discernible. In the
first palce it furnishes rare enjoyment,
and is recognized as one of the best
modes of physical exercise. Then,
too, it is a pastime of the people. AL
most any one, regardless of social po-
sition, or even financial conditions,
can indulge in it to his or her hearts
content. A good pair Of skates can
be purchased for less than a dollar,
and for those who cannot afford to
pay admission to the different Kinks,
there are plenty of ponds and small
lakes in and about the city, possessing
superior advantages. Since Lake Como
has been put into proper condition
and the street car service made ade-
quate to the occasion, hundreds Of
skaters congregate on it's smooth sur
face every afternoon and evening, and
it is safe to say that more thorough
ly enjoyable time would be difficult
to imagine than gliding about the
beautifully situated little lake amid the
gay crowds of skaters who constantly
make it their rendezvous. perhaps
the best reason for the general pre-
valence of the skating fad, some call
it such, is it's equal adaptability as a
means Of amusement to either sex.
Among the crowds at the different
skating resorts are generally to be
seen as many of the fair ones as of
the sterner sex. Then, too, there are
several aourishing skating clubs in the
are also others made up Of both ladies
and gentlemen. Skating also possesses
many pleasing features for the spec
tator. This is particularly true of the
different games played on ice. They
are for the most part fast and excit-
ing and generally without rough or
brutal tactics.
AS a result Of the assiduity with
which the youth Of the city has pur-
sued this distinctly winter sport, st.
Paul has turned out a number Of ex-
ceptionally clever fancy skaters, and
also some particularly speedy ones,
first among whom stands Harley

year, however, there will be none of
the differences which so frequently de-
tract from the success of sporting
events The races will all be conducted
under the same set of rules and Judged
by competent officials, thus insuring
every possible fairness to the partici-
pants and dignified aspect to the
meet, which will be appreciated by the
spectators. Handsome prizes, valued at
$500, have been ordered by the Carnival
association for the races, and while ST.
Paul is somewhat removed from the
former place of holding the amateur
meets, the generous outlay of prizes will
undoubtedly bring number of the
Eastern cracks to the city. The Can
adam championship races will be held
in Montreal during the first week of
February, and It is probable that they
will contain about the Same entries a
the st. Paul card. Wfth~this fact in
view several Eastern Skaters have sig
nified their intention OF Participating in
the St Paul events, and then contin-
uing their training here until the date
of the Canadian. races. There has been
some misapprehensiorts concerning the
adequacy of Aurora park, where it is
proposed to hold the races, but even if
they are found insufficient, it need not
interfere in the least with the contests.
LAKE COMO IS NEAR
at hand, possessing every facility for
properly conducting the races, including
straightaway track, Should this be
deemed necessary, and it would be but
the question of a few hours to change
the location, thus meeting all possible
contingencies. So far, no entries for
the races have been received. but this
wholly accords with all previous meet
ings of the association. The events
being strictly amateur in their nature
and the entrance fee merely nominal
1t is the custom of the association to
only receive entries at the track on the
day of the races. Following this plan
1t is not absolutely certain who the
starters in the different events will be
but the Carnival association is in cor
respondence with Joe and Jim Dona-
hue, Mosier, McCulloch, Rudd and John
son, all of whom, with the exception of
Johnson, will probably participate in
the races. Johnson is contemplating a
European trip, which, if carried out. will
preclude his entering the st. Paul
events, but with some hustling on the
part of the carnival skating committee
there is no reason why this years
championship races should not call out
as choice a field of skaters as ever got
off at the start of pistol, and at the
same time furnish rare enjoyment to
the thousands in st. Paul who indulge
In the most popular of winter sports
SCHEIBE SETS A FAST PACE.
Albert Scheibe, the st. Paul bow. is
setting the skaters of Milwaukee a very
fast gait, and is taking the honors from
the Beer City favorites night after

took two and only lost the other by

desire to have company on a ride, is
more OF, less criticised on account of the
position of the riders, one of whom must
be behind the other. In the bicycle that
we illustrate it is proposed to have the
two riders seated side by side, as in the
old-faShioned "Sociable" tricycle., and
yet to have the two riders carried by two
wheels only.
The long axle of the rear wheel en-
ables the use Of two sprockets at it's
eXtremities so far apart as to permit of
each ones being acted upon through a
separate pair of sprockets, each actu-
ated by separate rider. There is
triple head and a duplex frame, the lat
ter carrying two saddles placed side by
side at a proper distance apart for two
riders to occupy also side by side.
1t is said that a difference of 100
pounds weight in two riders is not no.
tlceable, and that a person who is ig-
norant of riding may be taken out on
this wheel with perfect safety.
The system of mounting is peculiar.
For the first one who mounts, the wheel
is inclined to one side. and this rider
takes his or her place on the lower sad
ole. The machine is then pulled back to
an upright position and the second
rider mounts by the pedal, and so the
start is made. The dismount is made
IN the same way, reversing, of course
the operations. The two saddle posts
are connected, it will be observed. by a
cross bar. At the center of the cross
bar is special socket. When single
person is riding the wheel the saddle Is
transferred to the central position and
the rider sitting there drives the ma
| chlne by one of the rightshand and one
OF the left-hand sets Of pedals. This, of
course, produces considerable lost mo-
ton in the pedal action, but it at least is
possible for a single EdT to take care
OF and to drive the wheel to and from
the place of appointmsnt with his friend.
1t IS not wheel degrading absolutely

curling stones each, compose rink,
there is plenty of exercise for the Keen
est players.
The tees are placed thirty-eight yards
apart, and as the player must stand
four yards behind the tee, the whole
distance played is fortytwo yards. This
prevents the rink or brough from being
broken up by the delivery of the stone,
as it strikes the ice on it's passage to
the further tee. The hog score or colly
is marked on the ice, seven yards in
front Of each tee, or sixth of the whole
distance played.
The brough or rink is fourteen feet In
diameter, divided up by concentric cir
cles, drawn round the tee, and all shots
to count must be inside the seven-foot
radius. When curling becomes a mat
ter of mere strength, then the science
OF the game takes a rest, and the UNI
pire now has power to stop the game,
when great physical force has to be
used to propel the stone the whole
length Of the rink.
The true science Of the game is seen
to advantage when the eight players
on keen, frosty day and on smooth ice
have some difficulty in keeping their
stones from going too far. Then such
shots as invoking, outwicking, draw
ing, guarding, wick and curl in, draw
ing through aport, outwicking, chap and
lie, ETC., represent the true inwardness
Of the game and the skill of the curler.
Astonishing stories Of the strength and
skill of the curriers' of bygone ages are
handed down to curling posterity, for
distance lends enchantment to the
view" But the men of the present gen.
Grafton are apt to take some of those
stories cum grano sails and consider
that if they can draw a shot to an inch
from distance of forty-two yards they
can play as well as their great-grand-
fathers ever did, keen curriers' though
they no doubt were.

A cyclist of considerable ability re-
turned to st. Paul shortly before the
holidays and has been in active training
ever since, preparing for the races
which will take place during the carni-
val The fact that st. Paul will be rep
resented in the racing events by a local
champion serves to heighten the al
ready enthusiastic interest being mani
tested in what will undoubtedly be the
chief skating meet held in the United
States this year. The arrangements of
the Carnival association for the meet
are about completed, and the official
programme will be published in a few
days. In addition to the amateur
championship series of races, the state
and city championship events will be
brought off during the tournament, and
While the latter may not accomplish a
great deal in establishing records, they
are certain to be close and exciting.
Minneapolis has several candidates for
state hOnorS, who are looked upon in the
Mill City as sure winners, but on the
other hand the admirers of the local
"speeders' claim that St. Paul will have
no difficulty in securing the prize AS
matter Of fact, partisanship and rival
ry have given rise to these dead sure
claims on both sides. In past years the
same representatives of each city have
met on the ice at various distances, and
in every instance the contests have
been close and in no way one-sided. In
fact, each city possesses a splendid ar
ray of speedy skaters. In Minneap-
oils Johnson leads the list followed by
Rucd, Nilsson and several other good
ones, while ST. Paul has Davidson to set
the pace. Trailing him closely are
Bird, Pannell, Cox, Jones, Johnnie Da-
wilson and Smith, the long-distance
champion. In the past, contests among
these skaters have been held under the
management Of some rink in either city
and have sometimes resulted in dis
agreements and dissatisfaction. This
