Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spalding's Winter Sports Winter sports are now a most important feature of the out door life of the northern half of the world. During the past ten years there has been a complete change in the attitude of the sport-loving folks of northern nations toward what was once regarded as the least interesting outdoor season of the year. Now, there are great numbers of experienced outdoor folks. Familiar with the Sports of the world, who do not hesitate to claim that the outdoor sports of the winter, in cold, snowy latitudes, are incomparably the most fascinating as well as the most beneficial pastimes of the four seasons. The enthusiasm of these new champions of winter is making itself felt all over the world; but especially in the United States, where outdoor sport of every kind is now enjoying the zenith of its popularity, and where there is constant demand for some new form of out door pastime, has the charm of the new outings on snow and ice made special appeal.

Book Synopsis A Book of Winter Sports by : J. C. Dier
Download or read book A Book of Winter Sports written by J. C. Dier and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-06-11 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Winter Sports: An Attempt to Catch the Spirit of the Keen Joys of the Winter Season The friction type of ice-motor first received serious at tention when, in 1911, Fred Waters, of Red Bank, stumbled into a sensation by putting his runabout on runners with a cogged wheel motor driven. It is said that he had no thought of its being unusually Speedy, but simply aimed to take advantage of the better and less obstructed surface of the ice as compared with the rough roads. The speed of this auto-sleigh with an engine of only Six horsepower was so remarkable that in the next winter he took a Ford chassis, placed runners where the front wheels were, and rear runners on a three-foot extension of the back of the Chassis. In place of the tires on the rear wheels are about thirty-six sharp steel plates which attend to its propulsion when driven by a twenty-two and a half horsepower eu gine. This ice-sled is driven exactly as one drives an auto mobile, and runs smoothly; springs in the front and rear make riding comfortable even at the highest speed. Mr. Waters believes that he will be able to make almost a mile a minute on clear ice, which seems to be about the speed developed so far by the propeller type on Saranac Lake. Intense interest is being Shown in the new sport by both veteran ice-yachtsmen and automobile owners who were never aboard an ice - boat; there is no question but that ice motors will soon be thoroughly studied in the manufac turers' designing rooms, and that motor ice-running will head the list of winter sports in which speed is a factor.

Download or read book Winter Sports in Switzerland (Classic Reprint) written by E. F. Benson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-29 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Winter Sports in Switzerland There is an amazingly Silly proverb which quite mistakenly tells us that seeing is believing. The most ordinary conjurer at a village entertainment will prove the falsity Of this saying. For who has not seen one of these plausible mountebanks put a watch into a top-hat, and, after Clearly smashing it into a thousand pieces with a pestle, stir up the disintegrated fragments with a spoon and produce an omelette Or who is SO unacquainted with the affairs Of the village schoolroom at Christmas as not to have seen a solid billiard-ball or a lively canary squeezed out of the side Of a fiiend's head Such phenomena are by no means rare, and occur periodically all over England. The Observer's eyes have told him that he has seen such things, and the verb to see is merely a compendious expression to indicate that on the evidence of your eyes such or such a phenomenon has actually occurred. But no one believes that the disintegrated watch has become an omelette though ocular evidence - seeing - insists that it has. It was a conjuring trick. And this leads me to the consideration of the phenomena on which this whole book is based. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Dirty Snow written by Georges Simenon and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2011-11-23 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nineteen-year-old Frank Friedmaier lives in a country under occupation. Most people struggle to get by; Frank takes it easy in his mother’s whorehouse, which caters to members of the occupying forces. But Frank is restless. He is a pimp, a thug, a petty thief, and, as Dirty Snow opens, he has just killed his first man. Through the unrelenting darkness and cold of an endless winter, Frank will pursue abjection until at last there is nowhere to go. Hans Koning has described Dirty Snow as “one of the very few novels to come out of German-occupied France that gets it exactly right.” In a study of the criminal mind that is comparable to Jim Thompson’s The Killer Inside Me, Simenon maps a no man’s land of the spirit in which human nature is driven to destruction—and redemption, perhaps, as well—by forces beyond its control.
