A race on rollers is v wanted.
The grand march was a new feature last
week at the Buckeye rink.
|, is said that there are 2ll moves in
roller skating. We are energetic and have
them all. Harrison ,Beebe did move 2OS
when he broke his arm. Miss Lilly the
2O9th By striking one Of the posts in the
skating circle, 2l0 was accomplished by
VIM. Reed in his tumble act and last OF all,
the 2llth move, one that is rarely attained
by professionals, was done in good style
amid applause by our friend Cash Marsh:
A fancy skater tripped him and he bruised
himself in 2ll places in no time.
The Belmont glass works has several
moulders, who visit the rink regularly. AZ
ter two months practice they are able to
make three shoves with an accompanied
bump.
Plans have been completed for a new rink
on Thirty fourth street, on the east side oil
the Belmont Glass Works.
The nailers had the rink after 10 o'clock
on Thursday night Although the band was
absent and the curtains drawn, we have a
sort Of idea what was going on. Mr.. Milt
Stewart and Albert Marshal are pretty good
rollers, and gave the boys a few pointers.
The learners were bashful at first, but after
q time most Of them were induced to try
EN-. The audience consisted OF vacant
seats, and although they held their peace,
the skaters felt awkward. Once when things
we're working nicely there was a great
"thud.' An expert had fallen and quivered
the building. A commotion ensued, in
which every man took his seat in a
hurry-on the floor. Oh, it was great
fun for the acquirers Of the roller art and
when the merry crowd adjourned at II 80
they decided to try it again some other
night.
1t is estimated that roller skating has cost
the city 5000 so far. 1t is a small sum
compared to the wealth OF Vanderbilt, but
it would give work TO every idle man, boy
and girl in Bellaire for a week at a dollar a
day.
The manager of the Buckeye rink is will
ing that a masquerade carnival should be
held but he hos had enough trouble already
getting them up only to be disappointed.
Some Of the young ladies and gentlemen
should take the matter into consideration
and il enough names can be had to insure
a good crowd let us have a carnival.
Although DR.. Talmage, Mr.. Moody and
other eminent divines have attempted to
show the evils consequent ofroller skating,
they have been unsuccessful. Here's a
convincer. Eddie Robinson, coming home
from the rink, fell and shattered his wrist.
1t was one of the accompanying evils, sure
enough.
Some OF our gentleman skaters have been
asked why they did not possess a skating
costume, and be up with the times. Their
answers were various. Some thought it
too "dudish," while not a large number ex-
pressed themselves that the suits looked
horrid on a fellow with pipestem pedestals,
and not a few Of our boys, we are sorry to
say, are afflicted in this direction. The cos
tune business will not grow very fast among
our skaters for the above reasons.
