COMING SOON.
Pref Agin on, the Profession al
Skater to Be at Main
Street Rink Soon.

The management Of the Main street
rink have been endeavoring to get ar
engagement with Prof. h. j. Aginton,
who is generally conceded to be the
most accomplished, graceful and ex-
pert roller skater, and gives a very
high order of entertainment. The
professor can do any trick or fancy
turn ON roller skates known in the
profession, and there is hardly a city
or country in the world where he has
not appeared. He is an exceedingly
intelligent and interesting man, pos
sessing a great fund of information re-
gardipg roller skating. He is in the
prime of life, but is yet quite veteran
in this sport, having opened the first
roller skating rink in Baltimore in
concert hall of the Academy
of Music in 1879. giving his first exhi-
bition there. For five years following
he was recognized as a leading artist.
giving entertainments at rinks. princi-
pally in the east. He then went to
Australia, remaining there two years
during the great boom IN roller sKsting
in that country. He went from there
to India. where roller skating was a
popular amusement until 1890. In
which year he went to South America,
where roller skating also became quite
popular From South America the
boom skipped across the Atlantic to
England, aud he remained there under
leading engagements for a number of
years, during which time he wrote and
issued his work entitled Around the
World on Roller Skates" which had q
large run. and became very popular.
being an exceedingly we'll written
work. giving an entertaining and in
structive account of his trip around
the world, the incidences con-
nected with his career
IN different countries mentioned,
and which was so successful as to
bring him prominently before the pub
lie. He returned to this country some
two years ago. and last season was en-
gagged by the Olympic Club at latter
sails. marking the advent of the re-
appearance of this popular amusement
in this country. The professor states
that numerous halls for roller skating
were opened last season, and states
that, in his opinion. the sport has come
again to remain as long if not longer
than during the first excitement years
ago, and he thinks will be even more
widespread than ever.
The Main Street Rink, as above
stated. is negotiating with the profes-
sor for a few days engagement in the
near future, expect to be able to close
with him. and will in a few days be
able to annouce the exact dates for the
appearance of this famous skater IN
Richmond.
