was known as the "Paseo de las

able 10 trace the records.
Trysting Place
Mexican cities for time imme-
moral have had what are known
as "paseos." They are all built
along the same general lines. small
or large, with the plaza the apex
about which the community evolv-
es. The plaza has its inevitable kiosk
ard its usual multi-hued floral
wreath. The larger cities have sew
eral plazaS. But about all these
plazas is entwined love and ro-
nance. Youths Of both sexes make
this their trusting place. While the
music plays the boys in the smaller
villages walk about the plaza in
che direction, while the dark eyed
girls walk in the other. This is the
paseo in its primitive form.
In the capital Of the country II
has been more developed. Between
the hours Of noon and 3 D.. m. each
day, but especially on Thursday and
Sundays. the elite and non-elite
gave themselves over to this prom
enade. Formerly in carriages drawn
by horses that were the pride OF
Mexico. and with men on horse
back in gorgeous native array,
many trappings and braid. between
the two files or carriages. the resi-
dents slowly promenaded in two
lines running In opposite directions.
Ole and young Of both sexes sat
back and crossed each other in idle

greeting consisting Of a wave of
the hand but accompanied by a

IN the middle Of the Zocalo. which
was built during the empire days
o. Macmillan, residents Of the
city promenaded about this chain
enclosure. Many stories are told
OF romantic episodes Of the period
traceable to the chain promenade
on moonlight nights. For some
reason unexplained. probably be-
cause the chains were removed. the
promenade moved TO the portals on
the opposite side of the Zocalo. the
arched "portales" that are generally
TO be found about all Mexican
plazas. AS the cobblestone streets
OF the period were generally i'm
proved upon. the promenade took
TO carriages and horses and moved
TO what was known until the name
was changed Is years ago to Ave-
ni6a Madero, as Avenida Plateros,
because many silversmiths or jewel
" stores were along the street,

The mems chorus of the Presby-

evening where they favored an aud

Mrs. E. w. Hanson, who is leader of
the chorus, had prepared an excellent
program which was carried on without
a hitch and the Hibbingites were more
than pleased with their work, in fact
it was stated that the audience was the
largest ever assembled at the church
and that the work of the chorus was
superior to any musical entertainment
presented in the church in the past.
In the regular church program issued
under the head of whats Doing"

the coming of the chorus: I'VE are

who conducts this chorus is one of the
best leaders on the range. It is very
unusual for such a highly trained
chorus to travel so far to give so fine
sacred concert just for the love of
music. That is why we ought to greet
them with a very large audience. Do

SKI TOURNAMENT
WAS CALLED OFF.
MILD WEATHER OF LAST WEEK
RAISED HAVOC WITH THE AN
NUAL SKI TOURNAMENT SCHED-
ULED BY THE SKI CLUB AND
FOR WHICH A FINE PROGRAM
HAD BEEN ARRANGED.

The annual ski tournament OF the
Ely Ski Club was called off at the last
minute Friday night when it was seen
that conditions at the ski slide would
not allow the holding of the same.
While the slide could have been con-
ditioned for sliding, the landing place
was covered with a foot or more OF
soft slush which would prove dangerous
to the riders and seriously inconven-
ience the spectators.
The arrangements fo- the tourn-
ament had been completed and every
thing was in fine shape for this annual
event. twenty-five riders were to be
here among which were Tanvik of
Chicago, Elfstrand of Duluth, Hanson
of Superior, Bennick and the Haiunen
brothers of Virginia, johnson Of Haley,
others who shine more or less in the
sport. Prizes were on display and the
arrangements for the banquet to be
served by the American Lu,lcl, were
complete The. weather spoiled the eX-
cellent work # the committees.
Ely Rider Wins at Cloquet.
Cloquet pulled off tournament Sun
day with fairly good results. However,
the slide was difficult on account of
the ice thereon and very dangerous.
The tournament was considered the
best ever held on account of the fast
ness of the track and was very spec
tacular by reason of the numerous
spills.
Ralph Mangseth of this city repre-
senting the Ely Ski Club was declared
the winner on points while Rolph
Mangseth of Coleraine won the long
jump making LOG feet. The Cloquet
jumper negotiated 108 feet but failed
to keep his feet. Passi of Ely also
placed at the tournament.
Winners of prizes for the best per-
formances in the three classes were as
follows:
Glass A and B-First, Mangseth, Ely,
18.675 points; second, Strand, Coler-
aine, 1875; third, Stolberg, Cloquet,
IT; fourth, Elfstrand, Duluth, 1915;
fifth, Otterson, Duluth, 1855.
Glass C-First, Tregiless, Coleraine,
1845 points; second, Yonkers, Cloquet,
17.725; third, Berg, Coleraine, 17.47;
fourth, Passi, Ely, 1877.
Glass D-First, Mjolness, Coleraine,
1912 points; second, jenkins, Cloquet,
18D25.
Local Tournament Sunday.
In view of the fact that last Sum
days tournament had to be called off,
it was decided to hold city tourn-
ament on Sunday providing weather
permits, and which at present shows
every indication of being satisfactory
for successful local tournament. The
event will take place beginning at
2 o'clock.
A unique feature of the tournament
will be the youngest ski rider in the
world going off the jump and a set
of twins doing the twin jump
The city championship will be de-
cided at this tournament at which the
Moose and Scandinavian Fraternity
trophies will be awarded. A banquet
at the Community Center at 6 o'clock
will close the day.
