ARTIFICIAL IGE RINK & Description of the Mammoth Struo- ture Being Erected in Vancouver The proposed artifical ice rink which the Patrick Brothers are er- ecting in Vancouver resuirees two and a half million feet of Jumber, three hundred tons of steel, thousands of barrels of cement, with over 600,- 900 bricks and with miles of pipinng. /Built on a plot of ground 200 feet by 380 feet, to skirt the outside of the building a person would cover just @ fifth of a mile. The reach from the surface of the ice to the highest point of the trusses weuld require the ser- vices of a ladder one hnndred feet high. If the cement of the building were placed in bags a foot apart and extended one long line, a person to cover miles to reach the end of the line. Comfortably seated, the capacity of the’ rink is 10,500; but if pressed for space this number could be much _ increased. Estimated originally at a cost of $150,- $00, when completed the structure will stand the promoters to the ex- tent of nearly $300,000, It will be over the $276,000 mark. Ice is manufactured by two seven ty-five ton refrigerating machines. The machinery is placed in the west end of the basement. In the base ment provision also made for the curlers, where there are four fine theets of ice. Curling commenced this week, and it will no doubt be as popular here as in other parts of the country During the summer months it is planned to use the ground floor for the purpose of automobile shows, food shows or for any other attraction re- quirng a large building with adequate seating capacity. The basement will be utilized for the manufacture of artificial ice for domestic use and for cold-storage purposes, while provision has also been made in that part for a large natatorium or swimming bath. Should the decison be reached to con vert the main floor of the rink Into a huge swimming pool, Vancouver would undoubtedly possess the finest natatorium on the continent. “BICYCLE BOB.” The new Alpine “bicycle bob,” in- vented by Herr Buhler, is simply a light wooden bicycle with two sleds substituted for the wheels, is guided by handle-bars and can be employed on snow slopes or toboggan runs. It requires some skill and practice to guide and can be geared horizon tally or vertically, The rider glides down, as on a free-wheel cycle, at a great speed, attaining 40 or 60 miles an hour, but there {8 no brake—ex- cept a plunge in the snow.

How many Retereers, I won- | der, know anything about this pas-| time, of which its eulogist spoke in | superlatives? Having an inquiring | mind, I took the opportunity of read: | ing it up in the Badminton volume on | “Skating, figure-skating, curling,” etc., | to see if I could ascertain wherein | jthe fascination lay, for I have only | ‘seen it once or twice, and was not! specially struck. A few years ago! wolf was not better known than curl- ing ie at the present, and one can never tell what game may come and eatch on as golf did. The writer from whom I sought to gather tnstruction does not, however, much anticipate a boom. For one thing, of course, ice is a necessity for the ourler, and of late years, at any rate, long periods of frost have been rare. A good many winters have passed since we saw ice in the Thames about the London bridges. Apart from this, the authori- i ty declares that “the game is so ra | dically and essentially Scottish that it cannot, like golf, throw off its | mationality and adapt itself to the | language an’ manners of any other | country.” He therefore fears that | ourling will not become universal til! “Scotch ts the one tongue and the hu- Fey race one great Sootch family,” | which he regards as “a desirable but not a probable occurrence.” The busi- ness of the game has to be conducted, | therefore, in a phraseology the maen | ing which most people who only | speak English would have to guess | What would the mere Englishman sup-, ' of pose he was expected to do when told to “soop him up,” where are you when “awa’ to the calf-neuk,” and how are matters progressing when you go “snoovin’ up th’ howe’? Curling is supposed to go back to the fifteenth century, and the stones | were any shape or size, it appears. | There {s an illustration of one that | weighed 117 |b.—that is, 8 st. 5 Ib., |as heavy as a powerful jockey. Early jin the nineteenth century, however, the round stone now in use was adop- ted, and the rule at present is that “no stone, including the fron handle, shall be of greater weight than 50 Ibs., of greater circumference than 36 inches, or less height than one-eighth part of its greatest circumference, | The best, it is further stated, are made with one side prepared for keen Ice, \the other for ice that is dull or soft. /1 am not going to describe the method lof playing in detail, though it is prob- able that the reader does not know anything about it. The rink from the | back end of the crampit—the foot iron /from which the player delivers his stone—is 42 yards long, and at each end, four yards from either base, are |} two circles, the inner 4 feet, enclosed | by another of 7 feet. Put briefly, the game resembles bowls more nearly than any other. Each side is com manded by a captain, who is called a “skip” and most important features are the little brooms which all the players carry and use vigorously when ordered to do so by the skip so as to smooth the ice for the pas- sage of a stone which does not seem to be going so far or so fast as is desirable. The great question remains: What chance there is of “the best game in world”—if the enthusiast quoted be correct—being adopted, as golf has been, and one is inclined to agree d suspect not much. with the writer, a: book from which I According to the am drawing information, Willlam the Fourth had several pairs of curling stones sent to Bushey Park. There ie, howeve! o record of play. In 1842 a gla ium, with a view to the introductior curling, was construc- ted in Londo: n 1872 one was made in Mancl at a cost of £20,000 and in 18 at Southport, on which £30,000 was spent. Many matches took place ere, but there was not enough pa nage, and the man who started is money. Various futile attempts were, however, made to interest in golf before th game suddenly became the vogue Possibly though I should not care about inve glaciarium shares, happen with regard to y author wrote, near- the same curling. W ly twenty years ago, there were no fewer than 4*%1 county clubs in Scot- land, with a membership of 18,800; in England there were 33, with 1,607 | members, and quite 200 clubs else where—90 in Ontario, with over 3,000 | members Altogether there were nearly 30,000 curlers who belonged to clubs, and doubtless many who did not. It would be interesting to know | whether the number has _ increased, and if so to what extent, There is, by the way, unconscious humor in one of the storles related | by my author “Curling,” he says, “has an excellent effect on the rn per; it clears the brain and warms the heart,” and this declaration im- mediately follows the anecdote, which {s of a curler who noticed his cat busily “washing her face, and passing her ftwepaw over her ear-—a sure sign during frost of an approaching | freeze, and “irritated beyond endu seized his poor cat by the hind rance legs, rushed to the door, and dashed | out her brains on the doorpost, ex claiming ll elarn ye to set there and mak’ thow This hardly seems much proof of good temper and warm heartedness. | AN AVIATION JOKE An aviator de scended in a fleld and said to a rather well-dressed individ: val: “He mind my machine a minute 1 you “What?” the well: | dressed individual snarled, “Me mind your machine Why, I’m a United} States senator! “Well, what of it?"! said the aviator, “I'll trust you.” | = SAMUEL HARRISON (NOTARY PUBLIC) Silversides Bros.
