The Fastest Race Ever Seen Here.
Roller racing has taken a great hold on
the hearts of Wheeling people, and they
have had numerous opportunities to CRAFTY
their love for the pleasing and exciting
pastime. Tonight at the Chsplins Street
rink will occur undoubtedly the most ex
citing contest that has ever been witnesseiip
| the city. 1t will be three mile dash between
w. II. Blakeney, the champion five mile
skater, and Robert Miller, also professional
and an unusually swift skater. Blskeney
| is to give Miller three laps in the three
miles, and to say that this will bring out
some good time is useless. Both contest
ants are handsome skaters, and have many
| admirers among our smusement-loying
| people. This will be Mr.. Blskeueys last
appearance in the city. as he will leave on
Saturday for Auburn, n. Y, where ne will
skate FIVE mile race with Skinner on

greatest race yet, should not fail to attend
