against j. +. Bacon. 1t was at this time
that Mr.. Evans began to Study figure skat-
ing and its artistic possibilities in the way
OF working out original designs. He first
drew his figures on paper and aftsrward
produced them on the ice. With remark
able perseverance, he was finally satisfied
that lac would some day master tho art.
In those days it was considered quito a
1oat TO write ones name on the ice by us
ing both skates. Sometimes it was accom-
plished by striking the toe of one skate in
To the ice and cutting out the letters with
the other skate. This kind of work was
child's play for MIR. Evans, and he proceed
ed to write his name in an entirely new
manner, by using only ono skate.
His progress at the start was rather slo1y.
but sure, and in 1890 he captured third
priZo In the Now England skating cham
pionship. Since then he has gradually
worked his way to the top runc of thu
ladder.
In 1894 Mr.. Evans was a chamnion for
2he first time, securing first honors in the
Canadian tournament held ut Ottawa. but
no lost this title the following year. Mr.
Evans had by this time acquired onito n
roptfation as fancy skater, but when he
entered tho New York tourney for the
championship Of America it was not
thought that he could successfully conc
with champion Phillips. Tho Boston

tho end he won by seven points.

CHAMPION HERBERT EVANS.
The Clever Bostonian Demonstrates His
Superiority n Figure Skater.

cupcEioEitJ AS II II ure SRAteEs
Hurbort S. Evans of Boston now stands
mt the head of the list of fancy skaters in
this country, having won the amateur fig
ure skating championship of America at
the recent tournament in New York by
defeating the former champion, G. D.
Phillips, and host of other aspirants for
the honor.
Mr.. Evans is a prominent young Bos-
toninn and is engaged in the real estate
business Mt the Hub He is of rather slight
build and is a little less than medium
height Ho has always been fond of skat-
ing ms sport, but it was not until about
six years ago that he realized tho artistic
possibilities Of the sport. Having decided
to master tho art Of skating no sot about
to accomplish tho task in his own way,
totally disregarding tho methods employed
by other crack skaters. Mr.. Evans has
brought out q whole lot of new things,
and his originality forms ono of the chief
characteristics of his work.
Mr. Evans made his first appearance as
figure skater in 1889, when he made
try for the Massachusetts championship
