that has long germinated in the minds of our enthusiastic sporting men.The late lament-d ** 1 vergreen Hughes,\u2019'whose dying w-,.h was that he might la?borird in the ?rack of the snow-shoers over the Mountain, i* said to have been the hrst to propose it in [Tactical form, but it wa- re.erved for Mr.Robert I).McGihbon, a.eager a clubman as he i* ardent an advocate, to briug the schem*- to the point of fulfilment.Last winter he unfolded his view* to hi.N Mlow.members of the Montreal Club, who received then, with unanimous tavour.The press likewise warrniy backed the ptoject, and public opinion was *o well dispoaed that this auturnn, when Mr McCihbor., re-o)>ei]ing the subiect, exposed the detail» of hi» proposi.tion, he wa- met on ill sides with cordial otîer» of support.It was felt that no itv in America is better suited for an exhibition of 'Winter -Sport* than Montreal, owing to it» geographical position, ics climate, and the real of its inhabitant» for that spieciea of exercise.Indeed, in the ratio of it» population, it is »afe to say that no city in the world possesses more club» -levoted to the pursuit of boreal amusements.Under these circumstance* it was comparatively easy to organize a Carnival snch as we are now en.joying, and so soon as the resolution had taken shape,it was the general determination to make it unique in the annals of sport.It run be stated, with justifiable pride, that when theciti-sens of Montreal make up their minds to have a public entertainment of any kind, they carry it out with uncommon zest and in a spirit of royal magnificence.The present event ha» been no exception to the rule.All classes of the popu latiou have tak^u a hand in it.Resides the more youthful clubmen, who naturally l be determined w'*» a central attraction.An Ice aided to engage in it.There ate few -ight* more enchanting than that of our \\oung gui-, in k nit ted hood» and »hrt skirt», balancing 1* isurely from side to »ide, or darting

representing the English element, and I.A.Beauvais, President of '* Le Canadien,\u201d representing the French.They figure largely throughout the programme of exerciaes on the -evera! day*.They stand six hundred strong, with torche», on Dominion Square, at the inauguration of the Ice Palace.They have a concert all to themselves at the (Queen's Hall, wherein snow-shoe songs and tableaux form the principal bature.But far above all theae ia their grand Torchlight Procession.The present writer lately had occaaion to say, in another place, that \"the most magnificent and pictureaque event in the sporting annals of this country wa* the torchlight procession held in honour of Lord Dutferin and bin lieautiful ('ountes*.late in the winter of 187d.No one who witncwied the gorgeous B|«ctacle will
