ARBITRARY ENGLISH LANGUAGE

Well begin with box. and the plural is
boxes.
But the plural Of OK should be oxen, not
oxes.
The one fowl IS a goose, but W are CALI
ed geese.
Yet the plural of mouse should never be
meeSe.
You may find a lone mouse or a whole
nest of mice,
But the plural of house is houses. not
hice,
If the plural of man is always called men
Why shouldn't the plural pan be called
pen?
The cow in the plural may be COWS or
kline,
But a bow if repeated is never called
bine.
And the plural of vow is VOWS, never vine.
If l speak of a foot and you show me- your
feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be
called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called
called beeth?
If the singular's this and the plural Is
these,
Should the plural of kiss be nicknamed
keese?
Then one may be that ard three would be
those.
Yet hat in the plural would never b.
hose,
And the plural Of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak Of a brother, and also Of breth-
rem,
But though we say mother. we never say
metheren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he,
his, him,
But imagine the feminine she. shis and
SHIN.
So the English. I think. you all will
agree,
Is the strangest language you even dill
see.

HORSES AND

The hardest piece Of luck that has hap
pened on a race track in many. days be-
fell Billy Randall in California recently,
avs the Sporting News The first race
was a contest for 4-year-olds thai had
not won in 1899 and 1900, which made
Rilly's Silver Beaux al eligible starter.
The public entertained a poor opinion. of
this horses running capabilities. Owing
to the supreme contempt in which Silver
Beaux was held the books chalked up as
high as Is to l. This did not deter Billy
from betting enough to win $1,000.
Cipriano. which Randall had given
away because OF a dearth Of speed. was
race was sad. Cipriano, the despised,
won, and Silver Beaux, the backed, was
left at the post. There was no doubt
N the minds of those who had seen RAN
dalrs horse work but what he would
have won with an ven break. Speaking
of luck, Billy said: 1T seems that I can't
get away from the post. Over half of the
horses that I have started ave been left.
My horses are not such bad actors that
they deserve to be overlooked complete

management is making a decided effort
to a the standard of it's sport. The
sums added to the stakes will be in-
creased by amounts ranging from 5000 to
$500. Mr.. Reilly. the president. denies
the story that sod has been broken for a
new track to be operated by him at Buff
falo.
The Ontario Jockey club has wheeled
INTO line with the announcement of a
meeting of considerably greater impor-
lance than hitherto. In the first place,
the meeting has been extended two days,
bringing it up to nine racing days, begin
ming May "a, the queens birthday, and
winding up June 2. No purse of less
h $500 will be given. Apart from the
queens plate, worth about 81, 800 last
year. which, Of course, has very close
conditions, the club now has three events
with 81, 600 added to each-the Toronto

the ssnow-after the 4rtN has once been
mastered.
Although the ski and the snow shoe
are usually compared, there - actually
little similarity between them. The form
Of the shoe Is too familiar to re-
qulre a description. but h ordinary ski
is nothing more or less h a a narrow
piece of wood that has been split with
the grain. This makes the shoe re-
markedly strong for an article that Is
apparently 50 fiimsy in it's construction.
In nearly all parts of Europe where
this form Of shoe is used both ski are Of
the same length. ranging from eight to
nin feet. In Finland. however. n Is
much longer than the other. In spite OF
This great length, however. the ski is ex-
tremely narrow. being scarcely wider
than the foot itself. but upo this odd
shaped piece of wood the natives Of the
country can cross the widest ans Of
snow n zee with the greatest facility.
OF course the ski was originally In
vented to serve as a means of locomo-
ton. but out of this necessity has come
one Of the most popular sports of the
Countrywide game Of ski jumping.
To fully appreciate the exciting fea-
tures of this winter sport it is necessary
to witness one of the competitions, many
of which are held in Norway and Swed-
en- during the winter months. The con-
test is held on the side of a very steep
hill. half way up which a wooden plat
form has been erected. The ski jumper
starts from the top of the hill and starts
at full speed for the platform. his pace
by the time he reaches it being terrific.
At the edge Of the platform he gives a
spring out into space and lands on the
slope below. a distance Of eighty or nine
ty feet. Such a feat is one of the most
difficult in the world of sport.
Another form of competition in which
the ski plays an important part in
these countries is the snow racing. The
length of the course Is usually about
twelve English miles. but so great is the
speed that the ski runner can obtain that
the entire distance has often been covered
m a little more than an hour and a half.
despite the fact that such a course always
teens with ascents. d%escents, clefts, ra-
vines and hillocks.

ART Of SKI
IS WEARING"

Although the use of the ski as a meth
sport Is little known in this country 1t
is coming more in favor every day, es-
pecially in the extreme northwestern por-
lions Of this continent. That 1t will ever
become a popular form of amusement in
America is extremely doubtful owing to
the fact that there are few sections OF
the country where the winters are sufi-
GENTLY severe to make the use OF such
shoes possible. Wherever the snow shoe
can be worn. however. there the ski can
he used, n 1T is in these sections that
the snow shoe Of Norway Is gradually
coming into vogue.
Every one who has attempted to mas
ter the art of snowshoeing, from the
Arctic explorer to the novice who straps
the c~ontrivances to his feet for amuse-
ment, Will admit that the art is not an
easy one to learn, burt the secret of ski
walking. to say nothing of ski jumping
is a still more difficult one to master.
When one don the snow shoe for the
first time he suddenly discovers that he
cannot walk at all. He simply can do
no more than founder about most pite-
ously. One shoe catches in the other, and
both Of them in the snow drifts, to the
great amusement of the onlookers. About
every third pace he steps on one shoe
with the other and keels headlong over
into the snow. But if this is true Of
snowshoeing it is much more difficult for
the ovice to walk with the ski. In the
various countries of the north of Europe,
however, the art of ski wearing is a COM
mon accomplishment. In Norway, In
Sweden and in Finland the children be-
gin to"learn to use the ski almost as soon
as they can walk, and there is scarcely
