The Roller Skating Rink

On Saturday evening we called in a
few minutes to see the skating, rath-
or rolling, at McDowell's skating rink in
the third story, over Crosby & Hills
dry good store, Nos. 220 and 222 Mar
ket street. At an early hour young
men began to make their appearance
and strapping pair of skates to their
feet were soon flying with the velocity
ofa 60 mile an hour locomotive around
the room. Others continually coming
in joined in the sport until the room
was full of flying, dashing forms keep
ing always to the right as directed
Some times some luekless skater would
lose his equilibrium and would meas.
ure out from four to five on the floor.
One young man succeeded in reaching
about six feet, and young lady let
herself down so easy as scarcely to be
noticed. The latter did not come in until
a later hour but when they did come
and Joined the sport the scrub races
amongst the hilarious young men ceas-
ed. The floor was crowded all the
time on Saturday evening and what
was very creditable was the absence of
any roughness or unkindness. Specta-
tors and skaters alike enjoyed the fun.
The rink is open every evening during
the week and Mr.. Mcdowell is entitled
to much credit for opening up such a
place where young ladies and g,Ntla-
men can enjoy hralthful recreation and

Where are Those TEEN?

An ex-pclice officer who shall be
nameless, some ten years ago got set
of teeth on gutta- percha plate, but
often when he awoke in the morning
he would find them lying beside his
head, On Saturday morning he awoke
as usual but his teeth were neither in
his mouth nor in his bed and about
that time he began to experience a
strange sensation in his stomach. A
violent search was made by the ex Off
Ger and his wife for the missing teeth
even taking ur the carpets in the
search, but no missing teeth We're
found. The owner began to think that
he had passed restless night and the
incessant g"acing in his stomach sug.
gests the idea that his teeth are still
performing their functions, but not in
