Winter Carnvinl last weekend appar ently sparked the memory of one resident Grey Wel lington St Barrie in fact hlr Grey was acti vated to write The Examiner newsy letter in which he re called many of his own experi ence on district ice surfaces dating from 1895 to 1908 believing that the tales he has to tell will prove interest ing to readers the letter from Mr Grey is presented in its entirety He writes thankful to arrive on tetra fir ms all safe and sound Neede to say we didnt take to the ice when returning home that evening Though there was no snow until we were through Allandnle the horses did not sweat nearly as much as on the ice MOVE TO BARRIE About 1397 my parents rented their farm to Mr John Neal and we moved to Barrie We lhcd in John St Maple Ave across the street from some old friends Mr and Mrs WM um comma or his Johnston He had an ion Barrie Winter Carnival was prompted to write and pass along some of my own experiv once on ice was born on farm near Thornton in 1384 and attended 58 No in lnnisfil with the late John Corbett as teacher Some of the boys owned skates and enjoyed using them on few frozen pools in Mr Jamicsons field close to the school Later on received my first pair of skates of the then popular spring variety In my anxiety to learn the art practised for endless hours on pool behind the barn and soon found out that It was no eaytrick to master How ever soon got the hang of it and was looking for larger pool on which to practise There was pond at the rear of Mr Ferriers farm about half mile away where many people of that district and some of my chums spent enjoyable evenings and Satur days There was no skating on Sundays that was too sinful TUBE SKATES One evening fellow came to skate with real novelty it was pair of tube skates that were fastened to the boots by screwnails in few years time the spring skates had disappeared We sure had lots of fun skating playing lag shinny etc until heavy snowfall cov ered the ice making it difficult getting to the pond and clear ing the ice of snow One year late in March my father decided to go to Barrie He owned very spir ited team of black horses He hitched them to the sleigh and away we went via Tollendal where he was taking few bags of wheat to be made into flour at the grist mlll Realizing that sleighing in town would be tough going he decided to cross frumLDyers Lane to liarria no the lee Afw fer several attempts he man aged to persuade the horses to venture on the ice The snow on the lee had melted and left the ice little slushy However the sleigh pulled much easier than through the muddy streets but the horses were white with froth from nervousness We all were badly frigltencd but were FOR MORE OUT OF LIFE boat and he took us iceboating several times it didnt take long to wisk us down to Big Bay Point if the wind was fa vorable but quite some time to get back as we had to tack so much Their son Oliver and were chluns and attended the West Vard School As boys will be boys we sometimes did things we should not do One year the day after the boy from over he and sneak ed our skates out went down to the ice Some kids were skating around so Oliver and put on our skates and away we went The ice was so good we decided to skate over to Lovers Creek which we did in almost record time as the wind was at our back but it was hard work getting back it is wonder we ever ar rived back as the ice was only about one inch thick and really waved up and down as we sped along dont know how our folk would have found us if we had drowned for we had stolen away without their knowing it During the winter at that time there used to be horse and dog races on the bay remember one horse in particu lar His name Was Decorator Bell Forecasts Telephone Calls rom Aircraft MONTREAL CP Davies

it was very heavy load that she could not draw and on the road she was to the threa minute class believe Ernest Cole with his dog won the dog race two years in succession During these winters Barrie had real champion hockey team remember most of the players names Ernie Wil liams Bob Gray Grcn Cald well Will and Steve Vair and Roy Thomas About 1902 we moved back to the farm and found that in the meantime Mr Wesley Cline had built skating rink in Thornton about 100 it long and so ft wide with big posts down the middle to support the roof This proved to be real centre of entertainment for good many years and never heard of anyone being injured by the posts We had sleighloads from Barrie Cookstown and other communities and in general it was pretty well patronized We had carnivals too with prizes given for host costumes racing etc Thornton Band was quite often in attendance We had very good hockey team At that time it was seven man hockey and with no substitutes allowed The play ers were Fred Nixon Hark Blacklock Jim and Elmer Speers Dick and Lew Stewart and Harrison Ayerst in goal In the mile race at the rink the main contenders were Leo Marrin from Barrie Billy Mc Callister from Alliston and Jack Stewart Jack Terry and Low Stewart of Thornton Our hockey club had only been using handmedown swea ters so Dick Stewart and do cidedto do something toward getting new ones We contact ed tha manager of the Barrie rink to arrange for an eve nings entertainment The only date he had avail able was so late in the season that we were almost obliged to decline as spring seemed to be right upon us and the weather was quite balmy However we decided to go through with it even though we had to goalan tee $6000 gate As luck would have it the weather turned quite cold and large crowd turned out to see thehockey match between the Crescents and Thornton Then there was public skating to the music of Thornton Band So all in all it proved quite success and we took home $6700 More than was really needed to buy sweaters TH BARN Emmn THURSDAY BEACH 90th Birthday Celebrated By Former Miller One of Barries bestknown citizens Beach celebr ated his 90th birthday recently Mr Beach
