vuIcanixed Fibre Rollers.

The use of vulcanized fibre for manu-.
featuring rollers for skates is becom-
ing general, and the Vulcanized Fibre
Company of the city is in the receipt OF
orders from all parts of the country.
Thousands of these rollers are being
turned out daily, and the many advan.
tages of the fibre over wood, are so ap-
parent that ere long they will be In
general use The fibre rollers will not
slip on the smoothest surface and will
last m uch longer than any other mate
rial. Many Of the skaters in this city
are having the, wooden rollers replaced
with the fibre, and all who have used
them are we'll satisfied with the result.

while the Senator pleaded ill-health as
an excuse for leaving the Senate and
the capital SO near the close of the ses-

Miss DavenpOr4 as Fedora.

Miss Fanny Davenport presented
" Fedora" at the Opera House last
evening, for the first time in this city,
and scored an uumistakable success.
Tho house was filled with u select and
appreciative audience, and Miss Daven.
port played with an earnestness that
was laudable, and which moved her
audience deeply. The grandeur of her
hatred was terrible, the intensity of
her love was thrilling, her poignant
remorse deeply touching, while her
whitening contempt, Joined with her
magnificent exhibition of self-control,
was wonderful and held her audience
spell bound. She in entirely lost In the
character, and the changing expression
of her features, even to q deathly
paleness, in the fourth act, when she
realizes how she has wroneed the man
she loves 30 deeply, WAS one of the
finest pieces of acting ever seen on the
Wilmington stage.
The play itself is consummate and
masterly work of art, that begins
with murder, rapidly runs through
all the emotional passions, and ends
with the suicide of Fedora. When the
excellence of the drama, and the
mastery impersonatiOn OF the leading
role by this accomplished actress are
taken into consideration, the success
of the play, and the fact that it has
been witnessed by fully a quarter of a
million of fpersons in this country, is not
to he wondered at.
Miss Davenport was ably supported
by very excellent company, all Of
whom did so well that it is scarcely
fair to paIticularIze. The entire per.
formance was a dramatic treat such as
is seldom enjoyed by votaries of the
drama in this city.
