HEARTY WELCOME to Montreal's visitors who come to belp her hold her third Winter Carnival! The feast to which vited is a cold collation, but the bill of fare is rure and ap- putising, and the welcome is a wari Pone.Those whose good fortune it was to take part in the flret and second Winter Carnivals need no introduction to King Carnival.Those who were not so fortunate and who may bave derived their ideas of o carnival from the traditions of Venice or of Rome, will find that while the Moutreal Winter Carnival emulates the post-lenten feasts of the Old World in merriment, it imitates them in little else.Our Carnival is an appropriate celebration of our glorious and much maligned Winter.Providence has endowed Canada with A Justy Winter, Frosty but kindly, a real Winter, a health giving season, a season to stimulate men to activity in work and in sport, to develop a hardy ruce, and to inspire poets.All countries and all seasons have their peculiar charms, and to those who have been good enough to pity us for imaginary hardships thrust upon us by the rigors of our climate, we would say, \u201cseeing us at what you deem our worst, seeing how merry we can be at Midwinter, imagine what we may be in our Summer, which rivals your own.\u201d Canadians do not pretend that the annual vlosing of navigation 1s an unmixed blessing, but, being on such excellent terms with Jack Frost, thoy prefer to see in his handiwork not so much the obstruction to the navigation of their streams as the bridge which carries them over.The severity of Winter is no barrier to sport in Canada; on the contrary.it gives character and zest to sport, A Canadian Winter has its drawbacks, but in the beauty and attractions of a Canadian Winter e may Rlory witbout reserve.Unimpeded Wintor navigation, even qualified by fog and sleet and mul, by dull days and dark nights, undoubtedly has {ts charms.but so also has a real Winter, a Winter of snow and ice, of bright days merging into moonlight nights so bright that the day nnd the night are emblematic of everlasting day.Buch a Winter is celebrated in the Montreal Winter Carnival.OUR CLIMATE.{WRITTEN FOR THE MONTREAL CABNIVAL STAR.\u201d} Is there anywhere a climate that has been worse misrepresented than ours?Once the average Englishman had grave doubts about our having any Bummer at all, and now he is quite cortain we have ten months vf Winter.At least one would suppose so, when he finds à man so mvch above the average as Sir Charles Dilke crediting us with eight months of snow: white Labouchere (\u2018\u2019 Labby,\u201d \u2026s Punch calls \"1im) wrote only the other day warning poor, deluded second sons from this frost-bound country, where the Winter vndures for over half the yoar, and the thermometer habitually ranges down to a vast number of degrees below zero.The humor cf this delusion is that both these enlightened statesmen have been hore.It is true they did not stay long, probably the rapid approach of Jack Frost drove them away while it was yot Midsummer.But who could have 50 befooled them and hosts of other distinguished Britons who have paid flying visits to this desolate clime?The Government ought to interfere.It must be obvious that we are fond of misrepresenting our own weather; for unless there ia a conspiracy of the whol: nation to deceive foreigners, how is it possible they should carry away such extraordinary notions about that weather?When Irving came here, he enthusiastically remarked, \u2018\u2019 What \u2018lovely wenther,\u201d\u2014then, with à change of tone, \u201cBut it won't last; such weather never does.\u201d In vain he was assured there was nothing extraordinary about it.nothing.He only shrugged his shoulders, and smiled his Hamlet smile.And alas! the fine weather played us false, deserting us in the moment of our boasting.for on the lost day of his stay the rain descended in torrents, and Irving, whenever he met a Canadian, assumed the air of 8hylock in court before the arrival of Portia.He was triumphant, and no doubt when he returns home he will tell his friends that the climate of Canada ls atrocious, almost as bad as that of England.In the face of all this misapprehension, what are the facts ?We are happy and enjoy ourselves thoroughly at all seasons.In Spring, after tho snow has left the ground, we wander into the soothing air, and look with vivid ploasuro upon the green earth, quickened and refreshed by the liberated eloments of the pure garment in which it was so lately clothed: sen the trees bursting into leaf and blossom beneath a sun that chastens Its florce heat and showers its golden refulgence every: where; ganze Into the limitless depths of space.their color nu longer coldly repellent and chill as in Winter scvmetimes, but tender and grateful to the eye, our guests are in-, Boon Summer comes with its intense heat, ripening our grains and fruits, to man oppressive by day, though froquentiy tempered by thunder storms.But if our days are then not ontirely pleasurable, where can words be found adequate to describe our evenings, with their long twilights, in which the soul finds nothing left to desire?The sun has set in radiant splendor, and the gontlo evening breeze comes stealing go quietly as scarcely to rustle a leaf, bringing refreshment to the wearied body anil calm to the excited nerves.Everywhere is the quiet of poace, and as the lights of heaven appear, they seem to look In serene approval upon the hush below: and man, gazing up at the multitude of worlds, ponders mighty problems, while reverent awe o\u2019erwhelms him, leaving him humbler for the teaching of the night.- Autumn comes, dry Autumn, when the most languid would be out of dvors.The harvest and the fruits ure garnered, nnd shortly the leaves begin to ripen in Ind:un Summer, when every treo is a great glory, when the eye is sated with feasts of color, and in every clump of trees all shades may be scèn, from warmest crimson to serest yellow, relieved by the green of unripe leaves and the sombre brown or gray of theboles.The Fall and Jack Frost come in together.and soon divest old Nature of her brilliant trickings, leaving her gaunt and brown and bare.Then Winter hurries to hide Earth's nakednass aud wraps her in arobe of lustrous white, shielding roots and germs from the flercest attacks of cold.All the time Jack i8 growing in strength, frightening poor Mercury until he shrinks lowerand lower in his glass, willing4o hide if he can, but never manng- ing to get entirely out of sight.Then men and animals step briskly, rejoicing in the keen, dry air, inhaling great chestfuls of life-giving oxygen.Musically the snow crunches under foot, merrily the sleigh bells chime, and every voice has a harmonious ring.Above is no fleck of cloud, and the Klunce pierces vast distances, sveing remote objects, at other times invisible.An irresistible impulse to vigorous enjoyment comes to all.Even the dogs frisk and bound, evincing in every conceivable way the intensity of their enjoyment.In Winter we fully realize what life is, how full of energy and power and pleasure and usefulness.Men bosome moral giants, throwing to the winds all morbid briodinegs and despairing imaginations.Who, that knows these things, would not welcome frost, dry snow, clear air.and bracing climate?Who would exchange our two or threo degrees above or below zero for the dank, yellow fog of Winter in London, or the wretshed, penetrating damp of Winter in Now York?Let who will abuse our Winter, we can afford to be content.W.H.TURNER, THE WINTER CARNIVAL AND CANADIAN SFORTS.Christmas, Ge Christmas, Inte was Monarch here, Christmas, ¢ Garaival of all the year nd where, kind readers, is this Sonn] time Hailed with more glee than in our frosty clime?here can stern Winter rear a grander throne, Or claim a nobler empire for his own Tis morn: a sparkling vision meets the sight, For Earth lies dreaming, veilod in virgin white\u2014 ot the pale shroud of one who lately died, But the pure raiment that adorns a bride.The keen, brisk air exhilarates each brain, Nerves every limb, and quickens every vein; The skies are blue, the sunbeams, ad they play.Eclipse \u2018the splendors of a Summer day, And rubles, sapphires, nmeralds, diamonds blaze, Beneath each footfall with prismatic rays, Gaze on yon castle of pellucid ice, The frost-bound masterpiece of man's device\u2014 Weird, ghostly spectacle, by da or night, radiant mass of iridescent light Fairer than towers of marble or of stone, Majestio\u2014silent\u2014beautiful\u2014alono!

Gro, MURRAY.| ORIGIN OF THE CARNIVAL.It was at the annual banquet of the Montreal Snowshoe Clubon February 9th, 1882, that Mr.R.D, Megiibbon suggested the propriety of holding a Carnival of Winter sports in Montreal every year, with the object of showing our neighbors to the Bouth the glories of our Canadian Winter.The proposition was hailed with enthusiasm by the snbwshoers and joyfully echoed and re vchoed by the tobogganers, the skaters, the curlers and the press.On Wednesday.January 24th, 1853, Mr.MGibbon, in the presence of somo 25,000 or 30,000 people, as Vico-Prosident of the first Carnival Committee, inaugurated the first Ice Pulaco built since the uno erected on tho Neva in 1754.A week of tobe -ganing, snowshooing, skating, sloigh- ing, curling, pyrotochnical displays, masquerading, feasting and dancing made uy the first Carnival, By common consent the bombardment and eapture of the Ive Palace was declared to be one of the most hrilkant! spectacles ever seen on this continent.The sovo-d Carnival, which opened February 4th and closed Fobruiry 9th, 1884, was of tho same character as the first, and even more euccessful.The institution of the Winter Carnival has already given great impetus to Canadian Winter sports, and has dispelled to n great extent the incorrect notions prevalont us to the severity of our climate.The brilliantly attired snowshoers are now constantly to be seen on our streets in Winter.The tohogguners who used to slide down the deep streets which are built on the side of Mount Royal, and who in consequence were rewarded by the police as theirnatural enemies.now have many safe slides of their own, and have smoked the calumeot with the guardians of the pence.Skating, sleighing and curling could hardly bo more popular than they are to-day in Montreal.Carnival hag attained its great objeet\u2014it has done as much for the Winter sports of Canada as the Winter sports have done for the Carnival.THE ICE PALACE.The most obstinate superstition about Canada is that it is an Arctic region, where the thermometer coquots between ten and twenty degrees below zero for six months at a stretch, and where the {nhabitants are only saved from being metamorphosed into icicles by the liberal use of the warmust furs, Montreal, on account of its Ice Palace, is also supposed to be a place of which Jack Frost is particularly fond, and many of our American friends seom to have a hazy idea that the Ice Palace is a spontaneous production of the Canadian climate, As à matter of fact, the belief that only in extremely cold rogions could ice palaces exist, is n misconception.Thero is nothing to prevent the erection of one of these beautiful structures in any place where the temperature keeps at twenty-flve degrees above zero for four or flve consecutive wooks.Were it not that its temperature runs above freezing point every four or flve days, New York could have an ice palace of Îts own.The matter may be put simply and concisely by saying that with the temperature flve degrees bolow freozing point an ico pdlace can be constructed; with the thor mometer flve degrees above that pol Ît is impossible to do 80.Those who associate the building of an ice palaco with weather several degrees below zero will be surprised to learn that a good portion of the castle which at present graces Dominion Square was built by laborers in shirt sleeves and with bare hands.Those who come to the city when it has been completed are not likely to have a very accurate idea of the manner in which it was constructed.It looks so like the product of fairy hands that most people are inclined to poetize over it without boing too curious about its prosaic origin, The first requisite for its construction is plenty of good clear ice.A series of cold dips toward the close af December created a bountiful supply of this material, and the proparatic 18 were bogun.little army of workmen swarmed on to the Lachine Canal, and began cutting blooks of ico three feet four inches in leng! 1 and about flfteen inches in thickness, some sixteen thousand ot thoso blocks being required.As soon as cut the blocks were londed on sleighs, some two dozen of these being employed, and wore hurried to Dominion Square, which soon presonfed an animated apponrance.À fow scoro of workmen, upon arrival of the slgighs, bognn marking the out' nes of castle and bastion and wall with heavy ico blocks, As soon as the foundation was laid the work began in earnest.Little knots of workmen wero to ba seen at every portion of the building: ice block after Ice block was placod in position, and smoothed and reduced to proper size by broad axes, wielded by powerful arms;

when the grass is brownuwd and frozen stiff, each blade a corpse, and all Nature looks dull and datestable In her sere divorcoment: when the brooks aro sealed, and there is scarcely a clean snowflake: when country and oven some city roads are almost impassable hacanse of the open hardened ruts, and the cold penetrates to one's very marrow in a way it rarely «does when tha snow is deep.Fvervhody then grumblos and is in bad humor, Busi: ness goas to tha doa.Farmers and merchants, the man of trade and the man of pleasure anathematize the season.We got a taste of the Winter in which the English poets were horn.That is not our Winter, Tt fa the more shifting of the scenes before the drama.the Aull shadow before the bright event: the avant courrier of Winter, It is only the Herald, not the King.Now and then, to teach us gratitude tor the splendid climate we possess, we may got à green Christmas and a ary New Yaar; but the Christmas of Onnadian tradition is usherod In with the pure white snow which covers the wreaks of Autumn.Its welcome is the music of \u201cthe sledges with the bells.\u201d I havo never accepted the Winter of the Almanac.Wa have allowed .poats, too, who never saw a genuine Winter to give the world their lens of the season, [like to conneot the birth of the Winter in Canada with the good old nssoriationg of Merry Christmas, conareratad from earliest childhood with hallowed thoughts and sacred memories: with old-fashioned aeromontes and happy family gatherings with the old folks at home: fond familinr faens, gona but not forgotten: the children\u2019s glorious day when they waken long beforn dawn, and are up to their arm pits in the stockings which the only Saint they'd Hke to meet has filed during their short nap.Christmas may bring to some nf us sulnuss: to some of us gladness; hard times or prosperity; better lives or worse, It should never bring to us anger or envy.Ang if It opens the heart to charity, and impels us to pity and proteet the poor: if it lewis us to show pence and good will to all, and humbly bow our heads to misfortunes we no doubt deserved, will it not make the bells in the morning ring in good tidings to those who suffer as well as to those who are strong?Will not the birth of Winter on Christmas Day remind us of the poor and lonely, the sick and the sorrowful, and make the very children feel, ns Santa Claus comas to them on sled, on skate, an snowshoe and toboggan, that thera ara poor little souls all about them, whom they, too, noukl make happy.Then might we not paraphrase the old earol, and in more sengas than one, sing All the bells on earth shall ring, On earth shall ring, on earth shall ring: All the bedi on earth shall rin The birth of our Winter MOT AIRE.» NATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS.I do not helleve there is a healthier season of the year than our Canadian Winter, or a healthier country in the world than Canada.The climate ia invigorating anoagh at all seasons to develop the most active out-door sports.They are national characteristic and arn a tribute to our climate.There is no eountry in the world whore tha love of out-door sports, congenial to both.sexes, fs mora general than tn Canada; and nowhere in tho world where these have a groator modifying influence upon the growing gonoration.Lacrosse.snowshoeing and tobogganing are indignnous to the soil.In skating, sleighing, curling and n host.of other Winter attractions, Canada .affords seope for handy exercise no other country ean rival, Tt soems to mo that, unconseionaly, these sports are developing characteristica which separate us very remarkably from our flesh and blood over the horder.They are having one long looked-for result, in drawing the two races in Canada more closely togethor.and humanizing the people, as did the Athenian festivalof the Panathonmaandthetireetnr Olympiad.To say the least, thore is political wisdom in these national sports.Greece revered her athletes alive, and perpetuated their glory after death in the sacred groves of the Olympian © Jupiter.Every schoolboy knows tha historieal contrasts and results of the Roman and Grecian games, and their effect upon the cultures and progress of the races.No Delphic oracle has toldgus that the national safoty depends upon the perpetuation ot our pastimes, but we face] sure that as the Pnraan games outlived the gods in whose houor they wore first {nsti- tuted.so our pure Canadian sports will survive when laws and Institutions of the present day perhaps have passed away.Whatever future there may be in store for us, these recrea- \u201cions will last, and will serve to mark strong points in the character of the people.A natlon must have diversions.It seems to me that in this respect we are happily favored in Canada.Our sports have none of the demoralizing tendencivs of mostof the recreations of other countries.They invigorate young men for the daily business of life.One cannot be indolent in them, They give stamina and steadiness, and it is a fact that our Canadian amateur athletes are sought after by shrewd men of business over thé border! and preferred, as a rule, on account of their reliable habits.SNOWSHOEING.Snowshoeing seems to have a sortuf divinity which hadges it as the king of our Winter sports.Originally invented to assist the red-skin in rrossinæ tbe show in pursuit of game, it has been canonized by our clubs, and has become the parent and promoter of a score of out-door festivities, Oncoupon a time one could rarely ind the snowshoe in the cities.It was a useful and necessary aid to the farmer and the lumberman | but to-day you can hardly enter a house where you will not find them to it the feet of young and middle-aged, while the voteran preserves his well-worn raquettes, and uses them to decorate his rooms and to remind him of the glorious days gone by.Nou one ean say of our Montreal youth, as somebody said of the Now York clerks that the latter™n a snowshop tramp would be as great a novelty as to see a Chinaman on a jury.But you must participate in the sport to realize the ful} extont of its onjoyment ; you must not only cross Mount Royal on a club night.but you must join in one of the long tramps independent of path or roadway, when the winds are whistling and the drifts are smoking, and a novice would imagine he is lost, to have the memories of old times with the alina mater of snowshoeing rise to your mind; the elub trumps of yore to old * Moore's\" inn at Cote Jes Neiges, in boshood: the grand tramps to Lachine, 8t.Laurent, Sault- au-Raecollet, St.Viticent de Paul.® What a flyer wert thou.O \u2018\u2019Evargreen.\u201d even in the Jays of thy half-hundrod: how.in thy 60th year, with thy good hound, thou used to cross the felds to meet again and again with the wearers of the bright Tuque Bleue, all born since thou and the Burroughs, the Matthews, the Ermatingers, the Coursols, the Stephens and the Duchesnays, first formed the old club.How, though stiffening as to shanks and short as to wind, it was thy boast that thou could\u2019st vault the highest fence, and show us how in younger days steeplechases had been won! Thy soul is with tho saints, we trust: never in Montreal wilt thou be forgotten while the snow flakes fall leisurely upon thy grave, or the north winds whistle their snow requitems to thy memory.What better has any man in Montreal done for its youth.than to stimulate them to manly exercise in the days of their tomptation, and to woo them to expend in open air and healthy sport the superfluous energy of growing manhood ?A glorious and a rare sport, truly! No modern science or ingenuity has been able to improve the Indian snowshoe, or to devise a botter means of walking over soft snow.No modern fancy can picture more delightful days and nights than those apont in this splendid exercise, Where a fow yonrs ago there were a lonely score of snowshoers, to-day they count by thousands.The tramps arn no hippodrome or spasmodic \u2018\u2018carnival.\u201d They are looked forward to with eagerness when tha first snow falls, and looked back upon with pleasure when the flelds are bare again.TOBOGGANING.** Away, away, in our airy play, And shout so the hills shall hear us.Sorrow may wall at to-morrow\u2019s gale, «But to-night she shall not come near us! 8o swiftly we race in our down-hill chase That she, with her and tears blin Can never keep up wit r fring, pace, But 18 left in The A ehin dr\u201d Tempora mutanfur \u2018nog et mulamur in illis.Who that remembers the stolen rides of yore down Cote dos Neiges hill, when the merry \u201cblue bottle\u201d was as much of aterrorto those who did well as to those who «did evil, would then have imagined that Montreal would be covered on hill and in fleld, oven in private grounds, with the fascinating slides for tobograning ?Natural and artificial slides\u2014the genuine Canadian and the transplanted Russian: the old birch or basswood toboggan of the Indian: new fangled ones of hickory.and aven of steal, of the pale face, of nll sizes and descriptions.And what more picturesque sight on a bright afternoon ora moonlight evening than the processional files of Canada's sons and daughters, even the old foik, as they go laughing up the hill or artificial steps.How pretty the Winter costumes! What n transformation from the dun and drab dresses of the men of business, to the truly national Canadian rig of blankat and tiugue! What a spontaneous flow of soukund hearty confidence as the girls roat themselves on the thin slod and trust their necks to tha steerer, The terror of the first siart, the lightning speed suggestive of peril: the frail feather of a thing flying ngainat the wind, down, down, as if to destruction, and then the gradual easing off, the perfect feeling of security anid the thrill of ploasurs: the hunger to do it again and again, the forgetfulness of the hours and the unconsciousness of fatigue; what rapture of tite ja richer?Can you wonder, as you watch the exciting sport, that we Canadlans would not exchange our Winter for any tropical reason?Can you wonder tha' we may sing with our gifted John Reade: \u201cNo Greeks of Hellas were more proud than we Ot our ¢ unadinn land.\" In snow we aro \u201cin clover.\u201d The blood circulates and tingles in the bracing atmosphere.Life {8 a Inxury amid its work and worry.Sleep is sweet and refreshing.And why shonld not our fair cousins over tha border bo made stronger and sturdier womom by passine some time of each Winter in such an exereise?What is life at the sen-side in July to rom- para with life in Canada in Wintar ?And one nead not depend upon the Carnival for this and many other of our Winter delights.It ik an every-luÿ part of our oxistenre, and made a Now Yorker exclaim: \"I wonder when those Canadians work.\u201d SKATING.2 It is impossible to impkine a more exquisite picture in real lite in enjoymaht than you may sea at an avening masquerade in the Victoria Rink.1 do not for a moment hold it in eom- parison with the out-door delights of snowshoeing and tobog- ganning: but there is a blending of color and costume, of beautiful and manly features and figures: a tout ensemble like a kaleidoscope that as a spectacular exhibition imagination can hardly surpass.As the Laplanders thought that Paradise was in the centre of the snows of Sweden, so our skaters may think it is inside our skating rinks at a masquerade.The poetry of motion on the ice is developed as if the skaters had wings to poise and circle: and then the hurdle races give you an {dea of the dashing possibilities of the delightful exercise.Figure skating combined, which was once a mystery limited to a few.is now indulged in by everybody.The old Dutch roll is rarely soen, bocause overybody ean do much better: and the eminent author of the \u201cMessiah,\u201d who, in speaking of skating.anid that, \"like the Homerle gods, man strides with winged feot ovor tho sea transmuted into solid ground,\u201d would have perhaps immortalized the sport In his poetry had he been under the inspiration of a Canadian masquerade on ice.One thing is remarkable about skating as about most of our Canadian Winter pleasures\u2014while in Holland,'Sweden, and oven Russia, the skates are used principally to facilitate travel, in Canada they are used mainly for real pleasure.Open air skating has its charms for many.which no indoorice can rival, Occasionally the St.Lawrence, opposite Montreal, happens to be cloar of snow, and I have known skaters go off in the morning and skate all day in a direct line to Three Rivers, a distance of ninety miles.Rinks became a necessity in this Provineo on account of the depth of snow, burt the long distance voutests and many of the finest feats are never seen to advantage except in the open alr, SLEIGHING.\u201c Hear tho sledges with the bolls\u2014silver bells, What a world of merriment thelr melody foretells: How they tinkle! tinkle! tinklel he ley air of night: w hile he stars that oversprinkle All tho heavens seom to twinkle With a erystalline delight.\u201d Where in the world can you see or enjoy sleighing to such perfaction as in Montreal?What an odd procession could be made of tbe most primitive sleds and sleighs used even fifty years ago in this Province.from the rude wooden runners with open ton, to the little market box or fraineau of the habitant: then the ancient, yet fashionable, cariole, jolly in its independence and security; the dashing cutter and the whole array of splendid turn-outs which the Taiidem Club displays.No matter how hard the times are, the number of people who own sleighs seems to be as great as ever.When the first snow falls to stay, the high hard roads are turned into a perfect cavalcade of liveliness, The horses trot with full Instinet of enjoyment, and the wonderful variety of sleighs, the sumptuous robes and rich harness, the profuse sprinkling of bells, pleasant to \u201coye a8 well as ear, make up a daily series of pictures in onr streets which run on, panorama like, from December to April.Old Burton could not have enjoyed sleighing, or he would hardly have said that cold air was a cause for melancholy, Man and beast can endure, and even enjoy, fatigue better when the snow is dry and the air is bracing than during any other time of the year.The Montreal Tandem Club make many an afternoon lively with their splendid turn-outs, Four- in-hand, Unicorn or Random, Tandem.Pairs and Single.HOCKEY ON THE ICE.Our best contests of Hockey in Winter generally take place in the skating rinks, as the snow is too deep on the river.The sport is most exciting when it is possible to enjoy it in the open air.and the contestants are well matched skaters.It is a new revolution in skating, too, where one has to keep his feet as well as hishond.Itisour old achool game of Shinty, only on skates, or rather what would seem to he on wings.But for some ronson it is only winning the public popularity in Montreal It deserves.The Summer game of Lacrosse had to pass through the same sort of neglect, but now it is played on two continents.Hockey in Winter will yet have a great fascination for spectators.It was, perhaps, to {ts disadvantage that it had to compete with =o many exciting features of the Carnival last year.Tt is n magnifilcent sport, and just the thing for our Winters in Canada.CURLING.\u2018Of n\u2019 the games that e'er I saw, Mann, callant, Inddie, birkie, mean.The dearest far aboon them Was aye the witching channel stane.\u201d \u2014 The Ettrick Shepherd, Until quite recently nobody was able to understand why the Seateh were so eager to enlist for active service In Canada during the old contest between England and France for supremacy on this continent, as well as to emigrate to Canada.It has come out at last, and it now appears that it was just because of the more magnificent opportunities afforded for curling in Canadian Winters than on the thin and flckle ice of Scotland\u2019s lochs and burns.Faney the:anclent curlers\u2019 of Kilmarnock In their enthusiasm meeting in the dark nights with a lantern at each tee head to guide the player in his delivery.Fanoy the Town Council of Edinburgh, 150 yoars ago.going to the lee with\u2019 a band, perhaps the bagpipes, to enjoy a féw hours of the sport on the old Nor' Loch.Fancy good Presbyterian elders aching to take advantage of a fortunate change in the weathor on the \u2018\u2019Sabbaith.\u201d and rumor daring to insinuate that they sometimes stolo away from the Kirk to have a wee hit of play among themselves! Is it any wonder that the Winter advantages of Canada to curlers would take a strong hold of the Scotchman ?' Is it any wonder that Canada is becoming.a \u201cland o' cakes and curling,\u201d and that wherever you go, from Halifax to the Rockies.you will be aura to find Scotchmen whistling for the frost as the sallors whistle for the wind, and planning competitions as if they were eampnigns upon which the fate of Scottish nationality hung.In all seriousness, what is there that ean more oasily reconcile a people to exceptionally revere Winters, than the fact that they can enjoy steadily for several months thelr heart's full of a roarin\u2019 game, with which thelr love of land is s0 intimately associated.Surely curling deserves to be recog- nizad as a national pastime in Canada, for did it not come in in a rude way with Fraser's Highlanders.ana oven followed fn the wake of the early fur traders of our great North-West?if any ons imagines that there is no life in old dogs who look grey and tottering, who may have one foot in the grave, and whom vou might fancy had à soul above more play, let him drop into a rink dnring a bonsplel.What a rumpus Ÿ The Montreal Daily Star \u2014Garnival Humber, 1885.3 nmong the grey heads, us the stones slide towards the tee, nnd they \u2018\u2019soop \u201d as il for dear life, with never a thought of the rheumatic joint or the unfriendly gout.One is rowinded of the song of Dr.J.H.Sidey, of Edinburgh.& brother, by the way, of the Montreul Bideys: \u201d fhe auld man stapplt on the ice, © was nae langer His hand but touched the curlin\u2019 stane, He felt nae mair the cauld.And as he raised the broom, he cried * What gard moto forget, There's naught but eurlin® warms tho blood, Wo\"il hue à gude gume yet.\u201d And this brings me to 8 matter of rare interest in connee- tion with Dr.Bidey.A few years ago he presented to the Thistle Curling Club of Montreal one of tho old 17th century kuting stones, dated 1613, which may be seen to-day in the rink, and an engraving of which appears on another page of this sheet.It was found near the villige of Roslin in 1826.Tho triangular shape, says the chronicler.will remind many an old curler of the * Gooso™ which he has seen in his young days.It was frequently employed as the 'prentice stone\u201d given to young players to try their hands on.It got the subri- quet from {ts resemblance to the tailor's \u2018gouse.\u201d Itserved both as à \u201cleader and ** wheeler.\u201d In the first capacity it was a most dangerous shot when well played, leading mauv a atone directed against it \u2018\u2019a wild goose chase\u201d by fairly turning round like a \u201c Jim\u2019Crow.\u201d as {t never moved from the exact Bpot\u2014except when hit exactly in the centre.Asn \u2018\u2019whecler \u201d it was banished from the rink, and lost the confidence of all parties.The broken nose of the Roslin stone, ns it is called, boars strong marks of its \u201cstriking qualities\" and hard encounters, It was found in the bottom of a pond deeply imbedded in mud, and was about to be consigned to the walls of the new Chapel of Roslin.which was then being erocted, when the mason by the merest accident discovered, upon removing the mud, the date of the channel stone.Itis highly esteamed by the Thistle Club, whose rink is well worthy a visit, containing, as it does, old Scotch \u201cbroom kowes™ used in Scotland, valuable historical pictures, ete.What would those night curlers of Kilmarnock say could they but rise from their gtaves and sce the Thistle men playing under the electric light?I verily believe they would think they were curling in Paradise.Allgames fascinate their enthusiasts.Ihave often watched the big Russ Mackenzie.of Toronto, toying with the lacrosse stick and ball, as if he was dandling with his first, or last, born, and with a tender and unconscious took of happindss upon his face, like that of a lad who has had the dearest wish of his heart.One may see this among curlers more perhaps than elsewhere, for there Is a brotherly lovg of the sport which seems to canonize curling among them.It 1s said that one of our leading men of business some years ago was so fascinated during a match in which he was \u201cskip,\u201d that when his bookkeeper rushed up to him with the news that his warohouse was in flames, he pushed him asile and exclaimed, \" Well, let the warehouse go to the deil, and gang ye und look after the bouks.\u201d This is perhaps equalled by the Quebec curler who lost his train and his trip to England rathor than stop a match in which he was engnged, and who, when chided afterwards, replied, \u201cI cou:d na\u2019 gol I was fixed as in atrance, and I felt, to use the words of the old song, \u2018as If my soul wore in the stano, and Heaven itself were near the tee.\u201d No visitor ought to go away without seeing a bonspiel.or at least carrying with him the splendid description written by the Rev.Dr.Henry Duncan, a perfect word-picture of the glorious sport.A CURLING SONG.BY REV.DR.HENBY DUNCAN.The music o\u2019 the year fk hushed.In bonny glen and sbaw, man; And Winter spreads o'er nature dead, .A winding sheet 0\u2019 snaw, O'er burn and lock the

Lives here all the time.Knows everybody.Answers questions about everything.Expatiates with equal fluency on chemistry, the state of Bulgarian polities, causes of sun spots, railway building.natural theology.dfumatio criticism, morphology.the Kindergarten system, poetry.athletics or female education\u2014all's one to him! He ls acquainted with every one who ever lived in Montreal.Now, if the handsomest man's name is Jack, the thing Is clear.Parker can locates him from the description?Heo went out with a rush, This conversation was at the Windsor Hotel.All Louisiana knows the late Miss Lestrange, \u201cthe Lady Millionaire.\u201d te whom were entrusted the fortunes of her brother Maurice, a born svendthrift.The couple were strikingly alike, and wonderfully handsome.It was not thought peculiar that Maurico Lestrange should admire pretty women enthusiastically; but it was thought \u201cqueer\u201d that Miss Lestrange should never hesitate to declare her admiration for handsome men.This outspoken fashion indicated no more than constant association with her brother, She lind never been in love, though several times sufficiently interested to know that she might Jove very well should circumstances favor.Boveral marry.but in each case something had her finer taste offended.She had waited for a perfectly admirable man, till now she was twenty-four.I am afraid she was a flirt.But she did not think so.Bhe would have heen shocked at the accusation of flirting, Not indignant\u2014she never valued opinion enough to be angry at it.In hostile eriticism she perceived that stupid and envious Philistinism which she aimed to exclude from her luxurious and wandering existence.Miss and Mr.Lestrange had come to Montreal because they had gone to Boston.Why they went to Boston they could not have told.The truth is, they were drifting ground for now sensations.Three years of Europe had jaded both a little; Old World pleasures Lind become routine, while still their appetites for enjoyment were keen apd remarkably pure.Their own South had lost Interest for them soon after their return.Now York and Boston they found to be Europe a little off id flavor.\u201cWhere shall we go?\u201d asked Maurice, one January day in Boston.At that moment her eye caught the life-size plaster flzure of a woman on a toboggan, in snowshoeing costume.It was an advertisement by à railway company of the Carnival.** Let us visit the Laplandish Canadians,\u201d exclaimed Miss Lestrange.\u2018\u2019 There must be something fresh there: idyls in the snow!\u201d \u2018\u2018\u2019To0 cold,\u201d said Maurice.\"No! I find I rather like the cold bere, and fanoy I should like any degree, if I had furs enough.\u201d \"It\u2019s a good idea.\u201d answered Maurice.The women are tremendously pretty in Montreal, I am told.\u201d \u2018\u2019From pretty women I infer handsome men,\u201d sald Miss Lestrange, \"80 we must go.\u201d Bhe always spoke out to Maurice, as though he were another girl, a thing that giris who do not like other girls often do with their brothers, They had been at the Windsor, therefore, for a waek when the Carnival began.Maurice had gained a host of acquatnt- ances, and the, friendship of Mr.Parker.Angela had gone round in the most magnificent furs, and there were fabulous accounts of her wealth at the clubs.In the crisp air, always ringing with little bells, in the street scones, in the mountain making a background for the chur3h spires, in the bustling, eager Winter weather, she found & novel and brimming pleasure.They had secured a fine turnout and a fast team.Amid her voluminous furs she liked to lie back drinking in the sensations from a healthier life than she had ever elsewhere seen.Bhe was the Bouth yearning to the North as Heine's Pulm Tree to the Pine.IL Mr.Parker found the Windsor an excellent place from which to observe life.\u2018À big hotel.\u201d he would say, \u2018provides you with a crowd, and with as much solitude as you may need to think over what you observe in the crowd.Nowhere else can you be so absolutely private, nowhere else ean you have such a panorama of humanity.To move oneself is distracting.Let the world como and be seen.Let others do the hurrying.\u201d Mr.Parker was fond of myatification, and sometimes answered the simplest question in the most oracular manner, * Let us,\u201d sald he impressively, when Lestrange questionad him, \u201clet us oxamine the data carefully.Eyes blue\u2014now this of itsell would convey us but little toward the identification of the individual.But eyes happy-looking! that is more definite! Wao at once exelude all fishy bluo, groen blue, grayish blue, ull but cerulean oyes.Now these eyes are not so uncommon in women.Ihave myself looked into many of them.In men they are much more rare.By the way, part of my pamphlet on the \u2018More Recondite Colorings of the Human Optic\u2019 is devotod to showing that the principle of sexual selection has acted with intensified foreé in the differentiation of this peculiar corulenn hue and the endowment therewith of certain not uncommon but curiously constituted females.You apprehend?\"\u201d \u2018\u201c Not at all,\u201d answered Lestrange, promptly.* Nover mind, I will give you the pamphlet, with tho more eloquent passages marked in rod and the abstruser in green.You may skip tho latter or both.But to our subject! Mous- l tache actually golden! I know but seventy-elght men to whom this description ean apply, Fourtèan nfe not anow- shoers, and but aixty-four remain for considoration.From * aix foot high at least,\u2019 one may infer that the person in question is distinctly over six feet high.Not more than twenty of the sixty-four are six feet high, and from the score we exclude twelve as barely or not quite up tu the standard, Now we bave the enquiry narrowed to oight.Of them but twe are called Jack, and ono of these has brown eyes.The eyes of the other are mora distinctly eerulenn, and consequently happy-looking than those of any man I know.No doubt he is the fellow you want.His nnme is Dinwiidie.Thus,\u201d sald Mr.| Parker.with a sly \u2018wink, \u201cby the selentifie method.by the dozen men of nine or ten nationalities had implored her to. \u2014\u2014 application of analysis and synthesis, We have identified one from the millions ot human beings by a very slight deserip- tion, How strange!™ \u201cAnd whois he?inquired Lestrange.The grvatost of the athietes, \u201csad Me.Parker, putting on his poetie maritie, © wha, bid he lived in the glonons Olymple are, would have borne away amin! the shouts of enraptured thousands the garland of olive and the branch of palin, An Apollo with the speed of Mercury and the thews of the greal god Valen,\u201d Then with a change of tone, \u201cSix feet two and a half inches \u2014 forty six inclus around the chest -straight as an arrow \u2014 fastest threes de tine on snowshoes\u2014fastest half mde\u2014fastest Iw yards dash - the greatest name on the glorious roll of Larose, The Pride of Montreal, sir.À perfect MAN\u201d He rose and sliapgest himself on the chest Thon thought Lestrange, it's all up with Angela.But she'll certainie Jdoubde my income, Aloud he asked: Will yen intredaee we?\u201d CY Certainly, eertainly.\u201d answered Mr.Parker.© Are those your horses?Cote then\u201d + * .+ .° .* Acquaintance ripens fast in Carnival time, and'before dinner Maurice Lestrange and Jack Dinwildie had become almost sworn brothers, The gigantie athlets had long been rather callo its tothe applause of the youths he ordinarily met, but there was something that nroused his sbugeishe vanity inthe admiring eves of the fiery and fascinating Routherner, who gazed on him as a keen Capuan might have looked on the mightiest yeillow-haired warrior of the host of Alarie.IIL Perched ana bilgh sleigh behind a spanking tandem; envel- aped inns ox robes; her lovely, olive, flushed face blooming from fludy wrappings, the great Southern heiress looked tratiscenrtant:y beautiful and happy.No one vould seo her, however, expt Jack Dinwildie, beside whom she sat.Cer.tasnly hs had made the runming with Miss Lestrange in a manter wershy of his renown in other flelds.Under his foflaenes her pho stead laziness had quite disappeared and she Wits aide rot only fo go about awl look at, but to participate in the sports of the Carnival timo.She must skate; she must stiowshoe she mast toboggan! The skating had been tried flest, long enough ty convince her that she rould not become à performer of bar], and long enough to satisfy Maurice that Juek Dinwildie found particular delight in giving the largest dugres of support to the tottering efforts of Angela.Hud her ankles not weakened and made her rather lume, they might have kept the caring Maurice, always a most determined chaprron, ronutinnally at the rink for days.But the lameness released him.lt also prevented her snowshoecins.M she world not mies the tohogeaning, too, it wis absolutely neres.sary that she 1 i Lo a Lens 3.+ A ds us a Le A + y \u2014 | SF, i ES CN A = =X I Toya, trie im Ne NS A FR AHL) ® B A Ed PAS J J M | J ol, + > x! vl Y = bl I i 1, 2%, v | Vi i E vo mi mu # rniva 7 # il A !
