Montreal
(Ice Palace and Carnival Sports)
In
1884 the first Ice Palace was erected in Dominion Square
at a cost of many thousands of dollars. The scenes during
the attendant Carnival, which finished with a night
attack on the palace, were attractive and unique and
were witnessed by throngs of visitors from all parts
of Canada and the United States. The Ice Carnival has
been discontinued but the various sports of snow shoeing,
skating, tobogganing, etc., are every day features of
Canadian winter life.
