seem that a "snow-sboeist," who enter the

necessary varfeliea of dope, for it I a oornmon

Thoj dope, In order to be good, must possess
two qualities: First, it niustbe atioky, so that
it will adhere! lo the shoe; second,' slippery, to
that it will glide over the ahow. And, strange
It may seem, they hava attained such a de
gree of porfeciion injinakltia this compound,
that a suow shoe prepared with It arid placed
by the side of one with the bottom tlnlsbed
with polished steel,' would d tar outrun it as to
make it no race at all. In riding for tho first
time down a steep hilt on shoe no prepared,
the treat requisite Is confidence. Timidity Is

with as much succesa try to stem thecurrent of
the Niagara river as to keep from falling when
he thins he may, or has not confidence in
himself. In raclug It is advisable to ride 'very
low upon the shoes. In what is called the
" squatting" position, and to hold the pole In the
right baud, aud in going over any obstruction,
occasioned a time by a tree lying across the
track under the snow, or by the wind drifting
