PAUL SMITHS, N. Y. Aug. 19.--Log
riding has become a popular sport
among the young people who form the
| major portion of the summer colony now
| assembled at Paul Smiths Hotel and In
the camps, and many of them have ac-
! quired much skill at standing erect upon
the big, slippery, bobbing logs used In
the sport. Some of the young men and
few of the young women swimmers
have attained to something approach
ing the skill of the Adirondack lumber
men Of years ago, by whom log riding
was reduced to a science.
