some Have Gone TO Canada for TIps-In-
structors In Great Demand-W altZfns
on the Ice ut the Rink-Plain Orti-
nary Skating Nowhere This Season.
Two consecutive old fashioned winters
have given skating a vogue In New York
such AZ II had not known in years. There
has grown also an increased liking for fancy
skating
MANY Of the enthusiastic are 1omen.
Most Of theae women skate at least two
hours every day and several who arr prac-
Ii sing fancy akating take two lessons a
day.
Up at the rink much patronized by Man
hattanites who want elbow room 10 take q
turn on the ice eleven instructors are
now employed where last year there were
only four; and every one OF the eleven is
kept busy, not so much with beginners
as with men and women, young and middle
aged, who are fired with determination
20 do something really worth while on
skates.
Never before in New York has there
been such demand for lessons In fancy
skating said al instructor. Some Of
my most enthusiastio pupils are included
In the ooterie of fashionable women and
men who have hired tho exclusive use Of
this noor-this ice I mean--one morning
every week.
sOn that particular morning none but
themselves and their invited friends oan
get in here. With few exceptions every
one Of these persons is trying 10 learn fancy
skating and few are tackling some OF
the most difficult stunts ever invented for
the skate. With them plain, ordinary
skating IL nowhere this season.
MANY OF my patrons have been to Canada
several took a trip there lately--and in
consequence they got good many valuable
skating tips, some of which they ara now
irving 10 carry out. Occasionally one
succeeds very we'll, but others are not so
lucky.
To become fancy skater one needs
lot Of pluck. perseverance,. exceptional
agility and grace OF Movement. For in

we were speaking little while ago Of
how nearly the tragic and comic meet.
Those bottles illustrate that axiom,
On tho first night OF tho performance
Miss Dorr decided that instead OF tho real
champagne she had been drinking at TO-
hearsal. and which she found abe could
not drink IN reality, she would have TO
have some liquid substituted. and after
discussing the respective merits Of GOLD
tea, ginger ale and lemonade cast her vote
for water. slightly oolored to champagne
tint
In the hurry and sourTy the order was
forgotten until they were arranging tina
scene for the third act and then some one
called out TO the men. Empty the cham
pagno out and put in water.
The men hurried away without hearing
the lattor part Of tho dire elton. and having
poured the wine out did not substitute any
thing Consequently In that tragic scene
we very nearly lost our lines completely
when after repeated eforts nothing at all
came out Of the bottles, and we presented
the spectacle Of two your women getting
hopeessly intoxicated on air
Il think il speaks very well Tor the power
Of that scene. however that no one IN the
audience laughed, although the crror must
have been quite visible.
