SKATING Is AN ART.
1t May BE Learned in All Its Phases
ut the Ice Palace.


There is no short road to the art of ice
skating. Like all other arts for this sport
is in itself an art il is the little things
that count. So that too much attention
cannot be paid o the rudiments. Patience
in an eXhauStlrSs quantity. perseverance
and pluck are the main qualities every
beginner must possess or progress will
never be made in an appreciablc degree
First of all the things to Dc considered
are the skates and shoes. The latter
should be laced rs they afford the best sup
port for the ankles and now that the clamp
has generally succeeded the oldfashloned
strap that gave so much discomfort and
numb bered the feet. the shoe Is about the
only tffng That gives strength to the ankle
The shoes should be laced rs tightly as
possible, but not with the same degree all
the way up. They should be laced ex-
tremely tight AZ the bottom and the top,
leaving it comparatively loose inincdi-
ately over the instcp. This holds the shoe
firmly at the top and over the ankle and at
the same time giving plenty OF play for
the bcnding of the foot. BY tight la6ing
in the bend of the ankle the shoe is made
to bind and this is very likely to cause
discomfort the day following The pariicf
patton in the exercise.
The shoes. of course. should be as heavy
and rs solid as it is possible to have
them. The skates should be CAREFUL 7
selected rs the shoes. and with these two
main features carefully adjusted the be
ginner will have 10 difficulty in mastering
in very short time the art of plain
skating.
the irills that come aftcrward are sort
of post graduate course, aud no one who
has not paid thorough attention to the
rudiments of ice skating can ever hope TO
accomplish anything in the way of fancy
skating The instructors at the Conven-
ton Hall Ice Palace will take care OF
all details after the shoes and skates have
been fixed upon, and their method of in
struction is bound to show good results
in u very short time.
