He laul avklontly given the subject aeroquat butied in oblivion, it might be worth doal of slow study, for he explained to me that although skating would be impossible upon a surface of glass pure and simple, skater would certainly glide upqa glass if smeared with bil This, Lowover, only to a certain extout, because of the want of purchase for starting a "stroke.". Glass being unyielding it would, he wont on, be impossible to obtain the requisito start for skating, although it might be possible for the skater to travel some distance on vilei glas providing he was given a salicious impetus before coming on to tha glues c21- skates. I apporo it is well known that Jaap Ed, Heine, and several other noted opolists are also expuri skaters, and thoir different fents were as familiar to my frica from Groningen as the performances of George Crossland or E. W. Parry are to the voteriIN handicapper, Walter Platt. The skates used by all these noted men are mads in Holland. where a child in taught to skate, almost as soon ma it can walk. It has been my privilege to se Eden and Heina win many ayole races, but I bava mover yet seen them on ice. Not only do these Hellanders beet us at skating, but it seems to me they are a long way in front of us as rogers the manfactare of skates, air fnlliplex skates I was shown quits recently being a long way in advance of anything of tlio kind I ever saw. By placing the foot on the solo of the skate, and falling over a couple of kroad traps the fastoning was af eren plished, whilst a reversible blade for fast or fancy skating made up this perfect little gem cd a skate. It was pena to me to hear that all the fast skating done by Fish, art, Bee, Eden, and the rest was accomplished on blades not roh tuloker than an ordinary lublelife, If ve Ent such, I was assured, was the fact. happen to get a good, sharp winter, with plenty of skating to holy it along, I may have an opportunity of rooing the Dutch ebampions.
