he bargained for.
The problem was should ne
TURF the would-be skaters away
on opening night and risk the re
sultant ill-will or should he lei
them in on the chance that they
would make allowances for the
unexpected crush and join in the
fun.
Mr.. Kass decided to let them
keep coming, and come they did
in the best Of spirits. At one time
there were no less than 1900
skating enthusiasts milling around
in the rink, with barely q square
inch Of free ice visible to the
naked eye. An additional 1000
spectators lined the walls.
Washingtonians took to ice
skating en- maSse and whole
heartedly. Uppermost In the
skaters minds was the question
why hadn't someone thought OF
this before?" SurpriStngl y
enough, most of the performers
on ice didn't seem to be rank
beginners. Only one out Of every
20 gave evidence of having donned
skates for the first time; the rest
circled the floor with the greatest
Of ease.
RINK JAMPACKED
Costumes varied to suit every
taste; for men, Stacks or breecheS
and sport coats; for women, gored
tweed skirts and sweaters. Some
of the feminine skaters had al
ready purchased the standard
short, full,Skirted skating dresses
worn by figure skaters, but they
were few in number.
The rink was too packed and
jammed to permit figure skating
by any Of the firSt-nighterS, even
if some were willing and able.
But a preview audience of 500
yesterday afternoon got a thrill
ing taste of the beauties of the
art from amateur performers
down from New York and Balti-
more, as well as from Washington.
PAIR EXHIBITION
It will be some time before the
District can hope to produce as
many brilliant performers on ice
as took part in the Ice Palace
preview, but from the enthusiasm
shown last night, it won't be too
long.
First on yesterdays preview
program was 10-year-old Joan
Coffman Of the New York Junior
Skating Club. The Eastern juve-
nile champion treated the crowd
to a series Of Spins-arabeSque,

Washington'S own Dorothy
Smell, the pretty little 16-year-old
blond who was runner-up this
year in the national junior cham
pionship, closed the preview by
giving an exhibition of her spe-
cialty-spins-to the tune Of "The
Lambeth Walk" Loveliest of
these was the back-bend, in which,
with arms outstretched and head
flung back, she reSembled a ballet
dancer chiseled in stone. Follow
ing the T-spin, croSs-foot spin and
reverse jump, she wound up with
q brilliant European whirl.

sit, cross-foot, change-foot and
flip-which for five minutes left
them whirling.
Next on the program were Mrs.
Ardell Sanderson and Roland
Janson of the New York Skating
Club, junior pair champions in
1886 and senior Middle Atlantic
champions in 1887 and 1888.
Dressed in sparkling red velvet,
Mrs. Sanderson executed with Mr..
Janson a Salchow Jump in perfect
timing and unison. Together they
performed the difficult back out
side spin and a combination spiral
which effectively covered the en-
tire rink.
BRILLIANT REPERTOIRE
Six pairs took part in the GA
Steps," a dance feature: Mrs. Ar
thur Clephane, one Of the or
ganizers of Washington's exclusive
Ice Club, and Dorothy Smell,
Washington's best woman figure
skater; Vera Hruba, figure-skating
champion of Czechoslovakia, and
Frederick Lee, of Baltimore's Ice
Club; Mamie Mitchell and George
Miller, of Baltimore; Orval KloSs
and Betty Mitchell, Of Baltimore;
Mary Natwick and John jenkins,
Of Baltimore, and Mrs. Suzanne
Davis King, Of Richmond, and
Rosamond Robert, Of Baltimore.
Next, Mrs. Sanderson, the for
mer Ardel KloSs, gave a single
performance. From a Skimming
spiral, she went into camel spin,
then q e-jump and a Salchow
Jump. She did the back roll from
one end Of the rink to the other,
giving spectators the feeling that
they were watching her disappear
through the small end Of a tele-
scope. Next in her brilliant roper
toire was a Wilson pirouette, from
which she went into a plain
scratch, topping the whole thing
off with a breath-taking Charlotte
stop.

 The troubles of the fellow travel ing with horses for ticket won't end when the ship gets to sea, either. It will be the first sea voy- age for most of the horses, and they'll have to be told many things. About not dressing for dinner the first night out, for example. It would make a fellow feel pretty silly to have his horses come into dinner wearing their best saddles, blankets and brides when all the other horses, knowing better, just had on the hides they sailed in.
 There will be compensations, how ever. Your horse will be able to take care of that walking around the deck business, which every ocean voyager detests but feels that he must do. And the tips won't be very much. Very few of the horses will feel like renting deck chairs, and only the ones with more horse sense than usual will be in- terested in a ticket in the ships pool.
 All in all, the Japanese offer sounds like very good thing. I wish to goodness I had known about the plan earlier, before spring housekeeping. We must have thrown away a dozen old horses, that had been cluttering up the house for years.

U. s. SWIMMERS
 TO GO ABROAD

An eight-man swimming team will tour Europe this summer under the auspices of the Amateur Ath- letic Union, it was announced yes- terday by Chairman Larry Johnson through A. A. U. headquarters ill New York. This will bring the total of American athletes going aboard to fifty-five, a new record for Olympic year.
 The natators will be chosen on the basis of their performances in the national A. A. U. championships at Louisville, Ky, on July 29, 30 and 3l. Four free stylers, one back stroker, one breast stroker and two divers will leave on August 5 for competitions in Hungary, Germany and possibly Italy.
 The nationals are expected to bring together the fastest field ever as sembled in this country with all 1887 titleholders likely to defend their crowns. Among the standouts eX- pected at Louisville ahe Peter Flick, Ralph Flanagan, Adolph Kiefer, Al Vande Weghe, Ray Kaye, Paul Wolf, Charlie Hutter, Al Pannik, Ebert Root, Johnny Reilly, Johnny Hlg- gins, Irving McCaffrey, Tom Haynie, Kirar and all the stars of college and club combinations.
 The meet will have more Of an international aspect than just the foreign trips. A Hawaiian team under the charge of the famous Duke Kahanamoku already has left Hawaii for meets in California with the Louisville affair the final des tination of the squad.
 The addition of the swimmers to the growing army of A.A.U. athletes going abroad follows previous an- nouncements of a 40-man track team and 7-man wrestling team which will tour the continent under A.AU. sponsorship.
