wish to state to the public that the
Parker Concert Co, which is to appear
in Armory Hall on next Tuesday night,
Feb. %, and is the fifth entertainment
in our course, comes to us recommend
ed by the Central Lyceum Bureau as
one Of the finest entertainments that
they have under their management.
We have secured this course of enter
tainments for the purpose Of making
something for Armory Hall, and to
give the public class of entertainments
that they could enjoy, but we have had
very poor support, and unless the next
two entertainments are patronized we
will lose money and not be able to Sc
cure such a course for next season.
1 write this for the purpose Of letting
the public know how we stand and
the class of entertainments that have
been secured, as 1 have been told several
times by parties that failed to see the
others that they didn't know they were
such fine, high-class entertainments

"sK1 AND sNowsHoEs.D

1 presume there are some of our Del
aware boys who have used homemade
snowshoes, it would be a good thing if
more Of them would try them, for little
Delaware does put on a thick, tufted,
white coat now and then. In Norway
the boys would not trade International
game of Ski racing for all your foot and
base balls. For it is rare sport. A
Ski is seven or eight feet long, one inch
thick and six wide. The end in front
turns up like some skate runners. With
one fastened to each foot, the Norwe-
glan, man or woman, boy or girl, can
skim over their snow-clad hills with
speed and pleasure. The snowshoe in
its perfection, might be owned by bows
with the means to buy them. But the
handy, ingenious man or boy. can
fasten a homemade article to each foot
that will take him over the top of our
drifts, when teams are snow-bound.
The Ski and snowshoe are different
but the principle Of covering space
enough at one time to hold the person
up, is on the same order. We know
the same load on a wagon with six
inch tires, could not cut into plowed
ground like the common tire. know
one boy who made and used the home
made snowshoe in the snow blockade
Of three years ago.

only way for policeman to maintain
