A new time table on the Canadian National railways went into effect on Sunday last, but the changes effecting Grimsby are but two. The tr:in ((No. 107) ithat left Niagara Falls at 7,52’ and arrived Grimsby at $.40 p.m., now leaves the Falls 7.12 p.m. and Grimsby at 8.00 p.m. o‘clock. < ~ yalu td Thirty years ago the old skates tha;t_:; fell into the possession of the small boy were unique in pattern. Fastened to a lbright reéed wooden footâ€"piece was a long straight runner which ended in a spiral of steel that curved gracefully up ‘over the toe and terminated in a beautifil brass acorn. The skates were fastened to the feet by heel and toe straps. The toeâ€"gtraps crossed, sandal fashion, over the toe, ran across tha instep through two tron rings in the heelâ€"strap and ‘back again to the huckle. A sharp spike held the shoeâ€" heel in place. With (one of thesoe acorn shates ‘bound on one foot the straps tightened ‘by sundry chips and sticks thrust ‘between them and the shoe, the small boy was happy as he gtided down the frozen gutter on ons foot. Christmas came and in the bulging stocking there was more than likely to be ia pair of small skates with scraw heels and ‘broad too and heel strapg. These were usually about an inch jor oneâ€"half of an inch longer than the foot, to allow for the iboy‘s growth. On the screw heels the boy fearned plain forward skating sufâ€" ficiently well to be able to play tag "‘and shinny on the ‘canal, river, or The ‘boy should begin skating as soon qs he can procure skates small enough to fit his feet. In Frieslang, Holland, the (babies learn to gkate as soon as they are able to toddle, and they iare expert skaters by the time they are six or seven years old. :Dn- deed, in Canada, small boys generally do ‘begin when they can get a skate of any gsize. One skate satisfies them at first and if they are lucky enough to have access to two the other one is usually loaned to a comrade. When the glittering club skates were locked on his feet his ambition began to grow iand he was soon to ‘be seeon experimenting on the more difficult feats in skating. His efforts were now ‘directed to t SIX The third stage lin ‘his career was when his ‘older brother, father, or uncle presented him with a pair of club skates, with no straps of any kind. Cutting a Circle ; This is one jof the first figures learned by beginners, and although it requires a small amount of outer edge skating, it is dlearned ‘before any serâ€" ious attempts are made at mastering the latter art. To ibegin you strike out on the left foot with the body leaning toward the left, the centre of the proposed circle. When the weight of the body is on the outside edge the line described by the gskate runner will be a curve directed outward. As soon as you find . that you can conâ€" tinue on that stroke no longer bring the right foot quickly forward and down. This last must beâ€" ia short stroke of only sufficient duration to give you time for another outerâ€"edge stroke with your left foot. At first you will make a very large circle, but gradually as you "catch the knack of the thing" you wiill be able to contract the ring to smaller dimensions. When you have mastered the leftâ€"foot ci,nc'le, try it on the right foot and practise it until you lare whle to go either way with equal speed and grace. It is gfeat fun to have a crowd od!, seven or eight boys on one circle, each trying to go faster than his fellows. i The Backward Circle This, when learned, isg easier than FUN ON SEKATES CHANGE IN TIME ON CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAY Niagatax Falls» Ly.
