A Roman Race Course in France.

Archaeological research has recently
revealed in the neighborhood of Nantes
the existence of race course of pre-
sumably Roman origin. The founda-
tons of the hippodrome occupy an area
of about 22S by ia meters. Further
discovery has been made in the vicinity
of an ancient roadway leading to the
Loire, near the banks of which river
traces OF number Of villas prove the
existence Of a buried city, inasmuch as
theater capable of accommodating
1900 persons has been brought to the
light of day. A quantity of ornaments,
jewels and pottery has been recovered
among the ruins. Thus far the absence
of coins has frustrated the endeavors Of
savants engaged in unearthing the
relies to establish the epoch of this most
recently found city of the Roman occu-
patioo.-N 7. Post. %

be made of iron and glass, cor
responding in style with the front
of the Collins & Moore building.
New counters and shelving of the
latest style and finish will be
substituted for the present fur
niture, and in style, comfort and
convenience. the room will rival
any in the Valley.
The work of remodeling is done
by the Loga:, Manufacturing Co.,
a guarantee that it will be we'll
and promptly done.
We congratulate Messrs. Rose
4 Sulzbacher upon their improve
ment, and suggest that with the
magnificent stock of new goods

thus make the James Block as
modern and as handsome, as it
is desirable and pleasant to all

It was Mr. Harmison, not Ster-

The utility of bustles is prac-

There is a likeness between a

The Misses Bennett and Gerty
Baker are making graceful ska

A word to the wise is sufficient.

The roller skater now weareth

Frank Harrison when able to

The bow-'egged man may not
