NEW YEARS DAY OF 1884
Whsn Roller Skating Was the
Rage in Butte.
HAD JOLLY GOOD TIMES
The Evil Results OF b Sport Were
Much Exaggerated-The Fad Has
Passed Away and Seems to
Be Dead for Good.

the Butte hotel lobby yesterday talking
Of days gone by and about what they
used to do in Butte on New Years days
when they were real young. One in a
more reminiscent mood than the others
led of with a recital of local historical
facts. and his manner of telling about
things seemed to interest the young
men Of the party who did not live in
Butte Is or 16 years ago.
why said he after a round OF
cigars were touched of. Eve didn't use
to sit around like his in Butte Is years
ago. Then we enjoyed ourselves on
holidays. Now we don't even get
around to dinner on time. But then
there was but one routine. however,
and We used to make the most of 1t.
1T was skate on the roller rink In
the morning. in the afternoon and late
into the night; skate, skate, skate, all
the time. The old and the young alike
skated and never tired of 1t. 1t was a
craze, but I'll tell you we all enjoyed
life.
towards the end of the roller skat-
ing era in Butte some ugly stories got
abroad, and / guess some of them were
true. But whatever trouble IL Is
claimed that the skates caused might

VISITED THE FACTORIES.
Students of LonefellOw School Max
an Interesting Trip.


The two advanced classes of Longfol-
low school visited number of the fac
tories in and near Houston Heights yes
terday under the direction OF Prof. Pa
tillo principal of the school, and his
assistant, Miss Friedenhaus. The party
first went to the cloth factory at the
Heights and after going through it called
at the National Oil mill, where the various
departments were ell thoroughly explain
ed to the students. Later call was
made at the brick and tile works. The
members Of the party manifested great
deal OF interest in everything they saw
and there is no doubt that they will all
be active advocates OF industrial eXpan-
sion hereafter. Some interesting stories
of the trip will probably be written.
During the day the students also made
tour through the woods in the vicinity
of Houston Heights for the purpose OF
studying the various kinds of forest trees
to be found there. Transportation out
and back was furnished gratis by the
Houston Electric Street Railway COM
