SKATING ENTHUSIASTS
PERTURBED BY SNOW
Fall of Flakes in Forenoon Threat
ened to Spoil Sport on
Tidal Basin.
Little Interruption to Program,
However, and Plans Are Made
for "Big Time.H

Never was snow more unwelcome
than that which fell for few minutes
this forenoon and threatened to put
an end to the ice skating on the tidal
basin. 1t brought sorrow to hundreds
of skaters of Washington, who have
been enjoying themselves on the basin
during the last few days. and who
hope to have several more days Of
pleasure there. And the cessation of
the snow after a few minutes brought
corresponding joy to their hearts
again.
There was a good sized crowd of
skaters on the basin this morning, and
the ice was reported to be "just fine"
A large crowd is expected late this aft
ernoOn.
Ice Eight Inches Thick.
A big time" was enjoyed on the ice
at the tidal basin yesterday afternoon,
and If the temperature does not take
sudden jump today another big time"
is planned for tomorrow. There is good
ice eight inches thick on the basin,
which in the opinion of DR.. E. c. Mey-
er, president of the Ice Skaters Asso-
citation, and other enthusiasts is en-
tirely safe. Even If the surface of the
ice does get a bit "slushy' today the
cold tonight is likely to put the ice
in fine shape for tomorrow. DR.. Meyer
believes.
More than 1000 skaters are estimated
to have participated in the carnival
held on the basin yesterday afternoon.
Music was furnished by a section of
the Marine Band. There was a base
ball game and other ice sports.
Comes to Abrupt Ending.
The carnival came to an abrupt end
about o'clock, when the band con-
cluded it's program and started away.
| The park police, under the direction of
Supt. Gillen. in charge of Potomac
Park, Immediately began to clear the
| ice of all skaters. No reason for doing
so was given, it is stated, the skaters
get off"
| Dr. f. C. Meyer, Representative Hob
| son of Alabama and others. imme-
| diately started an inquiry to ascertain
the reason the ice should be cleared.
In answer to their questions, Supt.
Gillen stated that he had been in
charge of public buildings and grounds.
| to use his own judgment concerning
the dispersal Of the crowd. He said
there would not be enough policemen
|
| skaters away from several spots in
| the ice where holes had formed.
Order Is Rescinded.
| DR.. Meyer and Mr.. Hobson thereupon
started in search of Col. Harts in an
automobile to get him to rescind his
order to Supt. Gillen. Col. Harts was
making New Year calls, and it was
not until after o'clock that they To-
Gated him. Col. Harts said that II DR..
Meyer and others would assist In keep
ing their fellow-skaters within the
section of the basin where the ice is
said to be the thickest the skating
could go on without Interruption. When
DR.. Meyer and Representative Hobson
returned to the basin only about $50 of
the 1000 skaters who were present
during the afternoon remained. Others
arrived later, and there was quite a
| crowd there until after 10 o'clock. Lam
| terms were placed around the walkway
to the ice and about all spots regarded
| as unsafe.

in favor of the rahl rah boys. With

nightmare innings, Stanford had been
playing nice clean baseball and they
continued playing it as far as that
goes. This is something that cannot be
said of the opposition, and when Umpire
OImoS declared Stafford safe at first in
tn sixth inning because it looked as if
there had been a deliberate attempt to
block the runner, the fans cheered, not
for the fact that Stanford had a man
