4 GROUP or INTERESTING AND INTRICATE
 SKATING FIGURES.

effected by clevatinc the toe part of one or both feet and so digging in the heel; but with the modern skate, which has rounded heels, this is no longer practicable. and if necessary to stop suddenly the skater turns sideways and forces the edges of his skates into the ice at right angles to the line of progress. But all absolute stop is sell dom necessary. and defection to the right or left is all that is then needed.
 If you are beginner remember that in order to add the complete figures to your repertory you must learn the ele- mentary movements that are used in practically all of the more advanced maneuvers.
 First take up the serpentine. The sim ple serpentine-that on one foot-con- sists of two curves. one on the outside edge and one on the inside edge. These. of course. may be repeated or contiu- ued indefinitely. The direction is not changed.

Figure Skating.
HNr Fancy Maneuvers Are Exeeuted---Hints For
 Beginners.

Figure skaters are now of particular prominence owing to the coming na, tional championship tourney to be held in the St. Nicholas rink, New York, in February.
 Figure skating is one of the most diff ticult branches of sport to thoroughly master. and its best exponents are those who have spent eight or ten years In studying it. J. Michaelson, the champion of Canada, believes that man cannot become good figure skat- CT in less than five years.
 Michaelson, it is reported, is coming 10 .'the States to compete against the Dest American experts in about q month. He is the originator of many. new and very difficult figures.
 To succeed as figure skater learn to obtain the maximum of impetus with a minimum of movement of the feet. arms and legs.
 Give particular attention to turns, making of your body q sort of pendu- lum. Every turn in which is involved a change from one edge of the skate to another can be executed without unusual difficulty. As you are about to turn your body should be shifted to the direction of the curve that will re suit from the turn. When this line of action is followed no alteration of posi- aPt }1,o f,1r has been effected.
 A novice having acquired the power of skating the outside edge is fired with the ambition of accomplishing the three. He knows that an ordinary three is composed of curve of out side edge, that to make the turn the skate has to be reversed, bringing him to an inside back, and if he has never been instructed he will proceed on the outside curve. and, his body being re- tained in the position for that edge, he will make spasmodic effort to twist his skate round, with the result that he will probably fall. Now watch the adept. When just at the turn the whole body from the hip upward is gradually turned so as to be in the position suit able for the curve on which he will find himself after the skate is reversed. In fact, the change is effected by the swing of the balance foot more than by the turning of the body.
 In olden times, when every one used square heeled skates. a stoppage was

ATTELL IN ANOTHER.

Abe Attell, who put Tommy Murphy out of the running as far as any title is concerned, will have another match this week in his march toward the fea. therweight championship. Tommy Feltz Of Brooklyn will be his opponent in twenty-round bout before the Flu reka Athletic club of Baltimore on Friday night Attell did not add much to his reputation by defeating Mur- phy, but if he beats Feltz he will be the logical candidate to fight the win ner of the Hyland-Nell battle that oc- CUTS in Frisco tonight. After these winners have met we may again have featherweight champion with q title as clear as was old George Dixon's.

All sugar is not sweet. or rather sweet enough to come up to the required stand ard of sweetness. so some kinds must be sweetened artifcially. There are many establishments where this process is carried on. A cone of sugar is placed over an apparatus apex downward. many little holes in the apparatus coming in contact with the point of the cone. A thick liquid is poured on the nat end of the cone and the machinery is set in mo- tion.

WRESTLING.
PROF MIKE
 MAY GET IT.
But 1t Will be a Call From The President for Violat. ing Conf f1ence-Other Wrestling News.

Washington, Jan 31.-M. J. Dwyer, the catch-as-catch-can wrestler and boxer, has ieopardized bis job at the white house by making public letter from Secretary Loeb ill which he was told to come to Washington to teach wrestling and boxing to the president and his son Theodore. Dwyer violat' ed all white house ethics when he gave out the letter.
 It is supposed he did it ignorantly and in that case he will escape with reprimand and a warning to not re- peat the offense. When he reaches Washington he will also be cautioned to not talk about his boxing bouts with the president.
 Prof M. J. Dwyer will resume his position as instructor in boxing and wrestling to President Roosevelt and his son Theodore early in February. Dwyer is at present wrestling and boxing instructor of the Atlanta, Georgia, Athletic club. Recently he had an operation performed for appen- dicitis, and when he came to Atlanta was glad to secure place in the At lanta club where he could get into training and work. off the effects of the operation. While there he has engaged at the , catch-as-catch-can game Charles Leonhardt of Newark, twice, and Charles Wittmer of Cincinnati. twice, ! and has won on all these occasions. He does not know just what he will | be called on to do when he goes to i Washington.
 President Roosevelt and his son are," said he, "apt pupils in the box ing and wrestling games, but have already given both of them the pre- liminary knowledge of the two games when I was engaged when President Roosevelt was governor of New York, "Then he told me to get just what would need. I bought splendid mat and all the other things needed. tights. gloves and shoes.
 "President Roosevelt is a splendid 1 amateur wrestler, a little slow, bu, strong and heavy, confident, aggrcs. sive, and always willing to take the offensive. He is good at the catch.as catch-can game, and is clever at all holds. He always does his best tc win. He is probably in need of train ing and wants to work into better shape by wrestling.
 His son, Theodore. is fine anna teur boxer. quick and alert. and ha' l had several good instructors. He ant his father. used to have bouts. thougl they nevef met on the mat, the presi dent being too heavy.
 "I will have to get to Washington before make any arrangements. will probably work out with the pres ident and his son at night for an hou, or so.'

H. w. Fletcher Won Great
 Event on Ormond Beach.
WORLDS RECORD AGAIN BROKEN.
During Last Half Accidents Hap- pened to Nearly All Cars-MacDon- ald Quit at sixty Miles-Wal-

ORMOND. Fla, Jan. 31. H. W. Fletcher in all eighty horsepower ma chine won the hundred mile race over the Ormond- -Daytona Beach course in IS minutes 24 seconds. The course had seven turns, and it is believed the time made will stand as a worlds record for some time to come. The winner was not picked out by the crowd as likely to head three or four of the other start CTS.
 machines, triaing for the time being, but of sufficient importance to put them out of the running.
 The cars were started one minute apart, leaving ill the following order: Arthur E. Macdonald, driving his nine ty horsepower; A. Le Blanc. driving B. N. Shanley, Jr.'s. ninety horsepower: NJ. q. Bernin, driving W. Gould Bro kaw's sixty horsepower: panl Sartori, driving Alfred G. vanderbilts ninety horsepower; William Wallace, driving his ninety horsepower: Charles De Plus. driving Joseph II. Keller's eighty horsepower; Samuel B. Stevens, driv- ing his ninety horsepower: Walter Christie. driving his sixty horsepower; Charles Canault, driving R. E. Jarriges forty-f1ye horsepower and H. W. Flet- cher. driving A. r. Thomas eighty horsepower.
 After going about sixty miles Mac Donald stopped some distance from the clubhouse. He was then in the lead, but was done for, as he had punc- tured tire. It then looked as though MT. Wallace would win. the only other man pushing him being Mir. Fletcher in his big car, yet there was plenty of remaining distance to be run.
 During the latter half of the race ac- cidents happened to most of the ma chimes. Mir. Macdonald punctured q tire. as stated: Mir. Stevens scared Il cylinder SO badly that he had to drop out, Mir. Sartori opened leak in his gasoline tank and had to stop long ! enough to plug it up, and there were other pinor troubles. Meantime Mir. Wallace and Mir. Fletcher were plug ging along smoothly and swiftly, with Bernin and Sartori close in the rear.
 Mir Wallace got into trouble with on ly sixteen miles to go. He burst an in- ner tube in his left front tire. yet he kept pluckily at it. made the turn at the sixteen mile post aud finished sixth instead of first or second. with only three tires on. When Mir. Fletcher saw the Wallace machine hopping along on three legs he realized that | Bcrnin and Sartorl were his closest competitors. At the same time Mir. Christie and I.e Blanc in Mir. Shanley' s car were begging along in good shape, all having had an uninterrupted run except Mir. Sartori, who had to stop ; to plug up leak. '''r
 The finish came at last. Bernin and Sartori. with seven and eight miles lead over Fletcher in the order of get ting away at tho start. finished the race first. but there was Fletcher peg ging along in the rear with but a few miles on a clear straight track. Der. min and Sartori did not finish soon enough. and the Fletcher machine flew over the line winner of the race with { yearly three minutes to spare.
