In this race Harley Davidson, of ST.

winner. McDaniels Of Minneapolis,
was second. With the exception of the
last half he made good show, but his
staying qualities were not equal to
those of the st. Paul champion and

At the close of the races j. E. An
drews, of saltwater, who, by virtue
Of his work at the park Wednesday aft
ernoon, holds the championship for the
amateur long distance jumping Of Am
erica, gave an excellent exhibition Of
what he can do with the skates. He is
really marvel in his line The record
stood at fifteen feet and two inches
out he jumped seventeen feet and
eight inches, thus making a gain of
two feet and six inches He claims,
however, that he will do still better
before the carnival closes, and his
friends are sanguine regarding his DOS
sibilities. He will remain during the
carnival, and will give a number Of
exhibitions. William Doherty gave sew
eral exhibitions of fancy and trick
skating. He is very clever at his work,
and introduces a number of novelties
Ihe intricate ice waltz is really an
excellent accomplishment, and when
ever executed by Mr.. Doherty secures
for him vigorous applause. Although
a st. Paul man, and making no claims
to professionalism, Mr.. Doherty has
given exhibitions in many of the large
cities, and his services are in constant
demand during the skating season.
He will give exhibitions each afternoon
and evening during the carnival.
The Indians furnished the afternoons
entertainment at Fort Karnival, adorned
with war paint, feathers, and all the
other paraphernalia necessary for the
equipment Of typical braves when on
the warpath. They paraded around
the grounds for some time. Then they
marched to the large platform, where
a regular war dance was given. It
was not stage" dance either, but
was entered into apparently with as
much enthusiasm upon the part OF the
bucks as though they were really pre-
pairing for raid in search of pale
face scalps.
The squaws were seated In a circle
in the center Of the platform, and about
them the braves wound their way
| through the maZes of the dance The
tepees We're set up yesterday morning
within the stoekade and the Indians
are now comfortably settled there.
