Which has yet been devised, whereon all the
graceful movements AMI ey0lutOnS OF Ice skating
can be executed with ease and precision Oh u

PLlMPTON'S PATENT SKATES have already
been introduced, with gratifying results, in the
cities Of New York, Hartford, Buffalo, Cincinnati
Louisville, Indianapolis, New Orleans Atlanta
and Savannah, and will be in many others as
soon as suitable halls or Kinks can be provided
THE EXTRAORDINY SUCCESS
which has so far attended the Introduction Of
ROLLER SKATING proves concusiyey that,
While 1t Is uncquallcd and Invaluable as an inno-
cent eXarating exercise, 1t IS fast becoming tile
most popular and fascinating OF amuscments,
possessing all the merits and attractions OF Ice
Skating, without any of its Objectionable features,
and meets with the most hearty and earnest ap
proval and endorsement OF the Clergy anu Medl'
cal Profession.
AS AN INVESTMENT
there Is probably none which offers such induce
ments TO capitalists especially those owning pub.
lie halls or rinks, as the EXCLUSIVE RIGHT to
use and vend said Patent Skates, In proof OF
which it is only necessary to refer to the Indian
apUS Rink, which cleared over $4,000 In ten
