The skate Of to-day is comparatively
a simple thing, but the simplicity is that
Of perfection. The blade is Of the shape
which was esteemed the best BY the
skaters Of all clubs, after considerable
experiment, and adopted in the " club
skate" which two years ago was consid-
cred nearly perfect. The club skate,
however, had a button which lastend in.
side a plate in the heel Of the boot, and
the opening into which it passed was
continually liable to b clogged up in
walking. The skates last patented have
no such clumsy continuance. The foot
plate is plain and sets on the bottom Of
an ordinary boot, while around the heel
and on either side Of the ball Of the foet
ere clamps which are set simultaneously
by the motion Of a single lever. This
lever is under the instep, and is reguIa-
ted by a screw. When set it lies along
the blade of the skate, entirely QUITO {
the way. To put these skates on or take
them Of. is the work Of a moment, and
when on they are as firm as the sole Of
the boot.
