THE SPORTS OF WINTER. Chicago. AN ATTRACTIVE SCENE Anspicious Opening of the Great Blides at the Chleago Base Ball Park, Cmcaco, Dee, 10,—[Correspondence of the Brr Ch 0 has gone toboggan erazy, and a young Montrealese, with whom I was talking this morning, said that he had never seen a eity taken with quite o seyere a case as that which has visited our own. “Noteven in Montreal,” said he, “do I remember having seen so much enthusiasm o generally indulged in as one may demonstrated here at present.” Every shop-keeper who wishes to attract attention to his place of busi- ness displaysa gaily decorated toboggan in his show window, and it never fails to draw attention, as well asenthusinstic ex- clamations from hundreds of fair red lips. Young women are purchasing them and having them made into book eases, writing tables, cushioned lounge and every other article which the feminine mind can sug- gest. while within - the past two days people have forsaken the billiard halls, theaters, and all other places of amusement, for the exhilirating sport of toboggamng. ‘The formal opening of the great stides at the Chicago Ball p which took place Tuesday evening, sulted in a scene the like of which that spacions inclosure has never before known, Over 6,000 people in costume and winter dress poured through the gates, and the erash of musie, the whirl of the steel shod toboggan, the delighted ind merry laughter of the tobog- bright eyes and happy faces, manly forms and brilliant costunies made the scene, so wholly new and novel to “agoans, one never to be forgotton by those who witnessed it. Not only were oans there,but parties from nearly y suburb and’ from outlying towns who had been appr the opemng came down o city, full of expectancy and 3 anticipation of the fun ahead of them. Everything passed off in spiendid style, and despite the marvelous speed of ‘the toboggans and the inexperience of the riders, there were no aceidents of any kind, and the success of the big slid, well ‘as of the sport itseif is assured in this eity. Toboggan clubs have formed, and continued to form in each section of the city, and itis safe to say that within the next thirty days a score of private and club slides will be crected in our suburbs on theline of our broad houle vards and driveways. ‘The slide, how- ever, was not the only attraction of the evenin the hundreds who cireled about upon the steel runners over the listening surface of the ice skating sur Tace can doubtiess testify At the east end of the ball park, on the Throop street side, a_commodions wait g room had heen built, and adjoining it a refreshment room, W ot where skates and tobogeans could be obtained Dumediately in front of these was a plat form, from which entrance wos made onto a very large sheet of ice, This dur ing the evening was crowded with aters. The ice was in splendid condi tion, and the young men glided over the ice hand in hand with thelr best givls in most approved styl, "he tobogean slide en bt from above the top of the gr i, at the corner of Loomis ison streets, nd runs to the 1] f Throop and ngress streets. Big Captain Anson, arrayed in e gorg rlet toboggan' ing suit, w; arge at the top of the siide, and with him was Elwood Buell, of St. Paul, more modestly attived in a white blanket suit, with blue and tuque. The Okenwald club, of Kenwood, had accepted President Spalding's invi tation to open the slide, and its member, e met & an Buren street station by & [ rive: s arounds, where they we ved by the presi dent and provided with toboggans, The gentlemen were nea 1 in cos- tume; white blanket coats, colored sashes and tuques, knickerbock , and mocea- sins, The ladies looked béwitehing in their winter attive, The club monnted to the top of the slide. and the fun began, Mr. and Mrs Poddon, the president of the Oakenwald club and his wife, being the first pair to make the descent. At tirst the Chic wirls were a little timorous at startin But when one or two had pluckily made the atiempt, and announced o the others that it was “elegant,” there was no hold- ing back, and the toboggzans could not be dipatehed fast enough. The spe enjoyed the fun as much as the pants, and the first gentleman . that made the descent with a tall hat was unmoerei fully guyed, Presiaent Spalding made the “trip . with another © heavy weight, and the impetus of the party nearly carrvied ) the barrier at the end of the slide, notwithstanding the Little hill at the end, ich had bee built to stop the speed.” The view of the park from the top of the slide was very pieturesque. The electrie light throws i slliant luster all around, and the sheet of ice, with the myraid of figures gliding over it spirkled and gliatenad Nike x dizmond.” The toboggans, with their gaily deessed loads, shot down the slides and’ along the smooth surface below, while the frosty aiv resounded with the shouts of the toboggan and the cheers n[lhn spectators. s First Cavalry played a_good selection of music and added not s little to the gayety of the jon.

[ts first introduction into I wd was made in the year 1695 by a cinning eraftsman named John Lofting, who seized on the idea and set up what was then considered a large manof a small store room nd an open shed—at Islington, London. he invention speegdily exught the pub lic taste, and for' some time everybody bought thimbles for ornament, not fo use., Therein Johnlofting gained exceed- ing profit. But when its advantage narticle of ¢ in needlework came to be recognized honor and profit combined to ma Johin Lofting wealthy, and, of course, other and improved man- ufactories specdily followed It was first known as o thumble, from the words thumb and bell, |m| all Yecords that it ring ro on the Hnmm but it s¢ hardly conceivable that 1t could have béen of much use there, Then they w made only of br nd iron; now we haye sten thém composed of steel, silyer, gohl, horn, ivory, pearl nd even glass, BBut it has remained for the king of Siam tooutstip alf competitors. Having 'n the Evglish and American ladies at his court using thimbles, he was struck with their benetit, and determined to in troduce them amongst his own people Even in Siam there were fashions, but ) in Siam there must be a female der for such articles as these. But the king, heing about to be married, thought he would & his bride a present that would solve the difliculty. The royal flower and in fuct the impress of every- thing about the court is the lotus, in pattern of which the king ordered his present, I the queen consort of Siam owns, therefore, a gold thimble shaped like a lotus bud and thickly studded with diamonds, which are so urranged as to form the lad, me and the date of her » Siamese language is no ficient in words and signs it 1 therefore, be readily under stood that the diamonds ¢ plentiful and the thunble unwearably large.
