By far the finest exhibition of fancy skat-
ing that has been given this season at the
Casino rink was that of Mr.. Edgar Williams,
of this city, who has just returned from a
trip to the Vest, where he gave exhibitions
in all the large r'nks. Mr.. Williams is as
graceful on the rollers as . swan on the
water, and glides along sesmingly without
any effort. He goes through many move
ments, performed only by himself, which
other skaters have failed to do. The princi-
pai one of these difficult movements is, when
making the spread eagle" he jumps into the
air, turns a full circle, and continues the
'spread eagle movement. He was called
before the large audience twice last evening
He will appear again tonight and tomorrow
night.
