Washington Letter.
From Our Special Correspondent.

The bad case of jlngoism with
which the Senate was suffering |
when the holiday recess was taken
has been entirely cured by the co,
pious doses of soothing syrup ad-
ministered during the recess by
Or. Public Opinion. Senator Cam
eron, the author OF the resolution
which was reported from the Sem
at ecommittee on Foreign Relations
at the most acute stage OF the dis
ease, concluded that it was pleas
anter to remain on the island he
owns off the coast of South Carols
ma than to sit up with hls dying
resolution and has not yet return
I'D to Washington. There are a
few Senators who still show traces
of Jingoism, among them Mr. Call.
of Florida, who this week made a
speech on Cuba, in connection
with his resolution calling on the
State Department for all the cor
respondence in the case Of Julio
Sanguilly, a newspaper cOrrespOn-
dent sentenced to life imprisons
ment for alleged completely in the
Cuban rebellion. Mr.. Call was
very bitter in some of his remarks
declaring among other things that
the whole power Of the United
States was being used to protect
and continue the present condition
of affairs IN Cuba. His speech
| might have attracted more atten~
ton had everybody not known he
was making a hard fight for re.
lection and that many rich and
influential Cubans are residents oil
his State. Representative Sulzer,
OF N. Y, had mild attack Of jim

I'd after he had offered resolution
in the House giving Spain thirty
days notice that we should not on

Cuba but maintain that indepen

SKATING IN OLD DAYS.
How the sport Became Popular In New
York City.

How the Sport Became Popular In New
York City.
While skating is now one of the most
popular sports of the winter season it
is only comparatively a few years since
it has become so in this city. When the
Central park was being constructed in
1860 and the small artificial lake at
Fifty-ninth street was nearly completed,
the park commissioners announced that
it would be thrown open for the use of
skaters. A few men took advantage of
the invitation, but women could not be
induced to 90 on the ice. The skates
then in use We're of the most antique
pattern, some Of the runners extending
a long way in front IF the foot, ending
in a ringlike curl. In a crowd these
skates were quite dangerous, and the
first year skating was anything except
popular.
During the next winter the larger
lake at the upper end of the mall was
in such condition that it could be used
for skating. Here there was mere room
for the sport, but still tho women could
not be induced TO venture en- the ice.
A number of gentlemen determined TO
overcome this prejudice and organized
the New York Skating club, having a
regulation patterned skate, almost even
with the sole Of the boot, which was
laced UP tight TO the ankle, while the
objectionable strap was done away
with, the runner Icing fixed to the sole
while in use by . ball and socket ard
held firmly with q clamp. These be-
came popular that winter with the men,
and a lighter kind was made fer wom-
en-. The prejudice, however, still ex-
listed among tho latter, until the club
invited a lady, who was a fine skater,
from Portland. Me, to visit The Cen
trial park and skate with the club. This
lady were . pretty and appropriate
dress, similar 10 that worn in winter ly
women skaters III Europe, and she
created such a sensation by her artistic
skating as to attract much notice. Tie
result was that before the season erded
several young ladies were induced by
the club 10 venture on the ice, and the
season Of 1923 found many, with
pretty costumes, enjoying the sIcrt.
A series OF carnivals were arranged
by the club during the following season,
and skating in the evening became one
ct the fashionable winter amusements.
