McCulIOch's Fall Nearly Costs Him
the TAn-aIiIe Race.
The ten-mile skating race, open to
| all Northwestern skaters, took place
| at the Aurora park rink last night
resulting in a victory for J. n. Nc
| Cullock, who made the remarkable low
| time Of 1905, which is within few sec
onds of the worlds record.
| In point Of interest the race was one
| of the best features of the carnival,
| and the finish one that would be diff
cult to discount in point Of excitement.
When fifty yards from the scratch
the husky young Canadian was in
| second place. Then he made a master
| ly effort, flew ahead of first skater,
and when thirty feet from the finish
fell, but he recovered SO quickly that
in crossing the line he was four feet
! in advance Of the second man. Judg-
| ing from the way things went during
| the first part of the race, the result
| might possibly have been different.
| When the contest began Harley Da-
| wilson started in to win, and the way
! he set the pace would cause one to be-
| lieve that he might have been sue
! cessfu1. But he fell, and in doing so
bent one of his skates, thus doing away
with his chances to get first place. The
! winners were: McCullock, first; +. Nc
| Daniels, of Minneapolis, second; Ed
Pannell, of ST. Paul, third. The other
| starters in the race were j. F. David
son, of Minneapolis; A. E. Wolland,
Rudd, Minneapolis; George Sudheimer,

| They Take the Fancy Prizes ut the
Masquerade.
The prize masquerade at Aurora
park last night ivened things up con-
siderably and added much to the fes-
tivities of the popular resort. There
were about 300 masqued skaters who
participated in this part of the pro-
gramme, and the costumes were of
all kinds and all designs. Many were
beautiful and attractive, but the comic
and fantastic predominated. When
w. H. Farnham, the judge, came to
the task of selecting the winners he
was not a little puzzled, for all the
costumes were admirable, but the JUS
tice of his selections will not be ques-
toned, for it would indeed be hard to
find, in their respective kinds, any
thing better.
Miss Duggan was charmingly attired
as an Italian flower girl, and received
the prize for the handsomest ladies'
costume.
prince of the Aztecs could not
nave selected more appropriate
Mexican costume than that worn by
James Gooding, who captured the first
prize for the handsomest gentlemens
makeup.
aged apple woman so perfectly that
she was given the first prize for the
most comical ladies' costume, and
Frank Haynes, who donned wooden
shoes and sported big pipe, was given
the some honor in the gentIemen's
list. Eddie Harris, w. M. Lesion and
Chester Franklin were given the prize
for the best group. They were
clowns, and their funny antics and
witty sayings placed them above the
role of lmperSonators.
The prizes were all $40 in gold except
the one for the group. which was $25.

with him the Windsor trophy, and also the
third honors in the second Carnival event.
The Winnipeg hockey team left for home
last night after successfully meeting and de-
feating the best teams in the Twin Cities.
The weather on the grounds was just bit
sharp yesterday, and it amusing to watch
the musicians as they thawed out their in
struments in the warming rooms between
numbers.
Matt Jensen and Bob Seng were talking of
entering the fat mems skating race, but it
was tipped off that Olson. from South Dakota
was world beater, and the pair decided not
to risk their regulations. Matt Jensen was
well liked to win the event if he had entered,
and had a large following.

ing, the prizes being eight large carnival to-
boggans. The successful members were: John

gers hall, University and Harrington ave-

choice programme of dance music
The original St. Paul polo team will be re-
united this week, and Capt. Con Zenzius says
he means to challenge the winners of the
carnival series. The old team contained the
following men, and they say that if they meet
the younger fellows in game that the latter
will know they are playing the real thing"

The diminutive son OF White Eagle, of the
Sioux band of Indians. challenged the admir-
alton of the thousands of white children who
watched the Indian dance yesterday by the
Independent manner in which he went about
the peculiar movements and gyrations. The
little fellow cannot be more than six or seven
years old yet he drinks beer and smokes
cigarettes with all the savoir faire of ve$-
eran. He is entirely oblivious to his sur
roundings, and followed the big bucks around
the tom toms and hideous howlings just as if
he thoroughly enjoyed the lark.
