The ono feature OF theatrical a~muscmcnts

the continuous show. All three OF tho estab-

Two of the summer experiments In theatrical
amusements have failed miserably and de-
servedly at the st. Nicholas Rink and Terrace
Garden. The frst-namcd place was built for
the use Of skaters on artificial ice, and 1t was q
fashionable resort all last winter. The owners
leased it to a vaudeville manager for the warm
season, and he stocked it with beer and variety
performers. No complaint Of the beverage
was heard, but the persons on tho stage were in
~tolerable, as their offences of inability and in
decency were fragrant. Tho establishment is
closed, the tenant having been turned out.
