From sovereign to humblest peasant, from aged grand- mother uld grandfather to the unie-t toddlers, the nation is gliding serene-’ 1y, merrily along on skatg In striking 'contrast wil h the last thm or four mild winters, -a most w and continuous cold spell has in, a despite brilliant sunshine from a cléar sky every lake and canal in the land of canals is now frozen as hard as the cabbled streets. Even the big North Sea canal leading from the sea to the port of Amsterdam is only being kept open by icebreakers, Many of the islands' are islands no r, and travelers passing to and ), instead of booking their steam- t passages, buckle on their skates. The mail is even being conveyed to the famous island of Marken, on tho Zuyder. Zee, by the same means. One can go from the Hague to Amster- dam, to Rotterdam, to practically any part of the country on skates. 'The countryside, ordinarily =0 desertel and quiet, on' the sabbath in particu- lar is dotted everywhere with fleeting Hollanders of all ages; and in the towns themselves he who will need 80 no farther than the canal just outside his door to indulge in pastime. The lakes outside the royal house in the wood at the Hague resemble nothing so much as a fair, with their stalls and seats and harrows -and endless kaleldoscopic crowd whirling up and down and in and out in ones, twos, threes and fours, sometimes joined hands, sometimes ‘in chain fashion. On the big rink of:. the ice club nearby may be occastonally seen the queen herself, on skates among the throng, for skating is de- cidedly a democratic sport. Privale brushes shoulders with officer; indeed, a Frisian. soldier was horrified a dcy or two' ago to recognize a general in, the: skater he had accidentally over- turned. - Little Princess moyg Sport. Down in the children’s corner at the ice club rink is the little seven year old Princess Juliana. Mounted on Frisian_skates,’ she glides and shuffles ' and slips among the other small “krabbelaars”. (‘‘scratchers” or “scrapers”) as the beginners are dub- bed. Glowihg with health and laugh- ing heartily at her own and her com- paniong’ comical efforts, the littls heiress goes up and down the run, Queen’ Wilhelmina occasionally com- ing to watch her progress. A day or two ago the royal family went up to see and join in the skating in the northern: province of Friesland, so famed fgr the sport, the little princess helping to present the prices awarded at Leeuwarden and being the recipient of a bouquet when she went to join the Frisian children on the ice. It is in the Friesland that the fa- mbus eleven towns’ tour and race has just’ taken place—one of innumerable races and figure-skating and other competitions of all kinds that are taking place in every part of the countr: The tour dates back to an- tiquity. That the Frisians used to take 126-mile skating trips in the dim past when ox-ribs served them as skates, seems & little improbable, but the eleven towns’ tour is cer- tainly very, very old, and has become a Frisian . institution that is the sub- ject of innumerable family traditions. One countryman proudly related that he had done the tour four times— - twice as a young fellow with a couple of ftriends, thén as a young married man. with his wife, who was likewise fleet on skates, and next in the com- | pany of & grandson. ‘This time forty- six actually took part in the competi- tion, which started from Leeuwar- ‘| den before five o’clock in the morning, and 108 others participated in the tour, including six women. 'rho wind ner proved to be a sturdy . tellow named C. C. J. de Koning haliling from a small place called Leur, near Breda. The same man won the last such race in the winter of 1912, but in more favorable conditions he now the | beat his own record by nearly. two hours, covering the whole 126 miles in eight hours fifty-three minutes two-fifth seconds, ard arriving badk at the rting point tresh and fit. His closest rival, Swierstra ot QMsgawier, ‘was nearly half an hour behind him. Yet another well known tour is: the fifteen villages’ trip* of the Alkmaar region, wherein 151 :persons, includ-' ing thirty-three women, this yéar participated. “The championship of Holland, which was decided at Veen- dam, fel to J. H. Baker, who won the queen’s medal on points in races of varying distances. He covered 5,- 000 meters in ten minutes thirty-fouc seconds, and. 10,000 meters in twenty- two minutes, nine ane-fifth seconds. ‘Whole Army on Skates. The mobilized troops of Holland have been carrying out various ex- ercises and competitions on skates, for the army authorities' consider it in the country’s intereet that the men shall be thoroughly at home, on . the ice. The problem of Holland’s de- fence—normally ‘based, as it is, on the method of flooding a certain pro- tective zone known as the new -water line—would be entirely transformed should invasion occur:during such a frost spell as the present.
