Women and girls and the ever pres

male element at the lake is not above
participating in the sport
Like Riding a Broncho.
The sport was started when a large
water-tight key. about half the size Of
an ordinary flour barre, was placed in
the swimming pool on the surface Of
the pool the barrel hobs serenely up
and down and shows little of the tricks
which it really has. The least motion
will cause it to bounce off the surface
of the water like thing of life
The game is for the swimmer to
mount the barrel and stay astride Il,
No one has yet done ii. but thousands
have made the attempt and had thu
fun Of their lives in the game. while
those on the banks shouted encourage
ment and laughed at the ludicrous
poses which resulted.
Riding barrel on the water is some
what akin to the Western art Of riding
bucldne broncho. the only difference
being that the broncho is limited in
what he does. while the barrel ap-
