but even he, like his contemporaries, is silent.How much they missed is well known not only to those who have attained proficiency in it, but to those who have had even the delight of seeing others enjoy it.Before the days of the iron horse, people were dependent more than now upon communication by water.When the rivers were closed by winter's frosts they were cut off from the rest of the world, and so prevented from making their journeys save by the rough, circuitious and often almost impassable roads.\u2018Whereas, could they have followed.the courses of rivers, a few hours would have accomplished what otherwise had taken days.The Case of Holland.This was particularly the case in Holland, which has perhaps better water communication with its different S oan is a modern art, a form A WINTER SPORTS IN CANADA\u2014Mr.Walter Hern, of Stratford, Ont., a hockey player who enjoys the unique distinction of having played on the teams in the Ontario Hockey Association that won the Junior Hockey Trophy in 1900;
