The ICE PALACE TO CLOSE
Events of Interest Planned for the
Last Day.
DOnOghue Is in Prime Form and VIII
Skate Against Competitors
and Records.

Joe DOnOghue's successful attempt TO
lower the worlds record for three miles
made at the carnival Wednesday had the
cIicct OF drawing a large crowd to the
Ice Palace to see him make u Similar
trlal last night. and will bring crowds
this afternoon and evening. At these
sessions he Will try for different distances
aud on account Of the training which he
has received since his last APPEARANCE
here in the race with Harley Davidson
and Howard Mosiler. his friends are conf
dent that lie Will manage to break nearly
all OF the records that he goes against.
This evening there Will be d race open
To local skaters, in which DOnoghue will
also take part. He Will be SO heavily
Handicapped, however. that he will have
to put forth every effort OF which he is
capable to win, and The Washington boys
Will have an excellent chance OF bea ting
the champion. Sites. the champion skater
of the District and Maryland; Inglefretz,
the well-known fancy skater at the rink,
and Saunders, who holds the Ice Palace
medal, will all have a try at Donoghue
and pretty exciting contest is looked
for.
DonOGhue is probably in better shape than
he has been for some years. His work this
winter has had the effect of limbering him
up pretty effectually while his hard con-
tests during the meet here short time ago
thoroughly aroused MS ambition TO again
win Ihe laUrcls ami piaudits he has
been accustomed to. He is in splendid
physical shape and will demonstrate at
the coming trials that ne has not lost the
slightest bit OF his cunning and skill on
the shining steel runners. The trials Will
be nIa,!c at : O'Clock when the ice is in the
best condition possible and before any OF
the skaters have cut it up, while the race
this evening will be AT 8 O'Clock as usual.
The grand mask carnival, which is TO
mark the closing skating evening at the Ice
Palace today promises to eclipse the
ma gnIfiCent spectacle witHes>e at this most
popular Of all Wa>hingtOn's amusement re-
sorts on last Wednesday. The mana cement
has demonstrated that an affair of this kind
can be given in this city on u scale only
eXcclie by the Martii Gras Of New Orears-
The admission this evening, including
all privileges. has been place at fifty cents
The prizes to be AWARDED will amount 70
500; Immediately following their award
the ice Will bc free for all to skate upon,
