A SKATING TOURNAMENT
A Large Crowd Out to Witness
Fine Sport.
THE BIG RACE POSTPONED
The Ice Was Too Soft for the Champions
to Start-Some Excellent Fea-
lures Pleased the
Crowd.

The largest crowd that has ever turned
out to skating event this season VIII
messed some fine sport a the Butte rink
last evening. 1t was the second day Of
the skating tournament the races sched-
uled for the day before having been post
pnned on account of the soft weather,
which made racing impossible on Tuesday
evening. The cold wave of yesterday
afternoon put the ice in skating condt-
ton though it was far from perfect ana
necessitated postponing the important
event which was on the card for the sec
ond day, the professional event in which
Conway was to go against McCloy of
Winnipeg, Brown of Great Falls, Web
ster of Indiana and the other professional
cracks.
McCloy's defeat of Conway Monday
evening had the effect of stimulating a big
interest in the race. and it was largely
due to this fact that so large crowd was
out. 1t was due to the same circumstance
that the crowd was disappointed by the
postponement of the professional event,
for McCloys victory over the hitherto I'M
beaten champion of the state has created
the liveliest kind of a rivalry among the
professionals in attendance who hope to
be able under favorable circumstances. to
repeat McCoy's achievement For this
reason they all declined to start, hoping

Wild Roses.

Every continent on the globe, with
the exception of Australia, produces
wild roses. There can be but little doubt
that the rose is one of the earth's Oldest
flowers. In Egypt it is depicted on a
number of very early monuments, be-
lieved to date from 5000 to $500 B. c.
Rosewater, or the essence of roses, is
mentioned by Homer in the "Iliad,' and
the alusion made to the flower in the
Proverbs of Solomon indicates that ii
had already been long known.
