Winter Sports: Fun with Jack Frost

Opening with sledge loads of holiday makers leaving the hotel shown afterwards careering along the roadway through beautiful winter landscape. Sledging on the ice, with ladies and gents yoked in as "horses." Then a most animated Tug-o'-War, in which the efforts of all, especially the fair sex, to keep their feet on the ice is exceedingly laughable. Tumbles and slips are frequent, but all enjoy the fun immensely ; and next at ice-hockey, with lady as goal keeper, the tun waxes fast and furious. Figure-skating by lady and gentleman is next shown, and afterwards a magnificent exhibition of difficult and intricate figure skating is given by a gentleman expert. Timber laden bullock sledges in parties make up a fine finish to a really good picture.
