A party of coasters was enjoying the flne coftsting, most of the number beiug students. Sotne boys thought it would be nice to see the party slid through a sea of flaines and setting a box they saturated it with coal oil. It was placed at a bend in the street where it would not be seen by the coasters and when they started from the top of the hill the box} was lighted. It was in a mass of flames wlien the coasters came along, and not seeing it until they came to the turn, they were unable to steer out and the sled went straight into the flre. The head ones on the sled rolled off in time to avoid any bad burns and the others being further back on the sled were uot iujured as the fire was underjttheui.
