At last, In my writing, to find what to

The old world is changing, I see it,

I wrote on the heavens, the moon and

Sport Snap Shots
By JACK KEENE.

Few athletes attain such renown
that their fame lasts over period or
fifty years There is one notable ex-
ception to the rule. He is John Engler
of Jersey City. who reached the zenith
of his career in 1868, when he clinched
the professional fancy ice skating
championship.
Engler. who will celebrate his
eighty-eighth birthday on April II, has
had an usual career He perhaps is
the only man OF his time who success
fully made his living by fancy ice skat-
ing. In the COS, he was familiar
figure on the various ponds OF New
York and vicinity. He then obtained
such popularity that Frank Leslie's
Illustrated Newspaper saw fit to pub
lish in it's February 9, 1867, issue
full page wood cut Of Engler and Dolly
(Henrietta) Bedell in the act OF cut
ting fancy figures on ice skates on
the Union pond, Williamsburg, L. |.
Born in Quakertown, Pa. on April
II, 1881, Engler came to Jersey City
when about ten years old. He was
tinsmith by trade and for two years
helped his father fulfill contract to
keep the city's lamps In repair. When
between twelve and fifteen years OF
age he travelled about the country
with a circus as a tumbler until 1S49,
when he made fancy ice skating pro-
fession.
Gradually he gained fame through
his graceful ability and daring. He
taught Jackson Haines, the American
who went abroad and on the continent
later became known as the father OF
European figure skating.
When the Civil war broke out In
1861. Engler joined the northern forces
as first sergeant and color bearer OF
the Twenty-first regiment of New Jer-
sey. During this service he received
four medals for distinguished bravery
and sharp shooting. He received
three wounds, one in the leg, one in
the temple and one i'll the thigh.
After the war Engler married and
settled in Jersey City, where he now
lives with his wife and daughter.
He is the father OF fourteen children,
of whom eight, two sons and six
daughter, still are alive.
