The Ice Palace.-Now that winter seems
to have come in earnest number of the
people of this city are spending good deal
Of their time in trying to master the art of
ice skating. For the benefit Of those who
have not yet tried the sport a few words
ton must be paid to shoes and skates. The
former should be heavy and solid. while the
latter should be of the best steel, with as
little rock as possible. When the first
attempt is made on the ice the first effort
should be to try to walk. This strengthens
the ANKLES and gains confidence, the most
necessary of all characteristics in ice skat-
ing. Next few strokes are taken nd
then slide in the direction the feet are
wont to lead, at the same time making a
vigorous attempt to keep the ankles from
turning. OF course there are a great mary
difficulties to be encountered but there is
l.,
and the one who attempts 10 learn should
expect falls and laughter without cessa-
ton. In this connection 1t should be re-
membered that the instructors at the Ice
Palace at Convention Hall are placed there
especially for the help they give to begin
ners. They are polite, attentive and will
ing lot Of men and the method by which
they teach is probably the best to be found
anywhere. Beginners are always welcomed
at the rink. and they will find much en-
couragement and help to be gained from
this nattily uniformed corps.
Dr. Stafford on "Macbeth."-Rev. DR.. d.
j. Stafford will deliver one of his interest
ing and powerful lectures at the Columbia
Theater Monday evening, December IA. His
subject will be in his strongest line-that
of Shakespeare-and he will give compre-
nensive and intelligent dissertation on the
theme of Macbeth" There is no need to
call attention to DR.. Stafford's capabilities
as public speaker and lecturer, and all
who are familiar with his lectures, as well
as those who have merely made his ac-
quaintance through his reputation, will
undoubtedly make an effort to hear him at
his next appearance.
