Skating and sledging were. popular, of courses. with ox - roasting a familiar sight, but there were many other muse - mei -1U which Londoners devised for these "Frost Fairs" when- ever the North Pole'came to the Thames: Football, lth oting marks," bull- and bear -baiting, horse and coach 'races, -, skittles" PROM GLORY TO A FOOT REST —These twoprize coWs ought to be sorffe hat ind nanto Cil ,use f o :a ead�resfs. w ,� b d s, .a• i nzw � Rut +S t theyseem to be taking tt m stride as their owner- Glen e ., g � y Antos robs ct oris '.044 x ' Sw{'�i ,1 SHE' TRIED 4STOVE0bNOE Stilikco kin ' b etni colic frrepia; with»Jtert"h shan"d :Priem»Imautita r# ho L:.' kitried` o .sfSVe•rtolice'" she" sa s ''Unhandiest`'ttiin you • e:vpe sgMr.:t*Ja•iln to Mut/ aitdbtate �yAod for •i fa'arrd.,fbrm.thet firepro-de, too ..:And 'the food, we l a• ove "u t des-alIZth¢ tlste' a �: u, '• "' * r+•' t, ,...
