SPEEDWAY oN COFFEE STREET.

The Roadway Put in Fine Order-A Big
 Carnival There To-Day.
 ,Goffe street was put in fine shape for sleighing yesterday afternoon, and sleighing was begun there last night. To-day big crowd is expected there, and the movers in this enterprise are delighted with the roadway and the opportunity it gives for brushes and speeding. There are no electric cars nor heavy carting on Goffe street. Heavy teams will keep off Goffe street during the sleighing as much as pos sible.
 The following communication on the subject is of general interest:
 Goffe Street Speedway.
 A well-known speedway driver re- marked Wednesday night that the snow on Whalley avenue was becoming too thin for safe speeding and asked that something be done to fix up Goffe street. It would take but a small amount of money to put Goffe street ir shape; therefore. a call is made through these columns for subscriptions, large or small, from all those interested ir this speedway driving. The following named gentlemen will receive Q any money given and see that it is used tc the best advantage: F. F. Potter, Fred erick Bishop and Frederick c. Candee With small financial help the snow could be smoothed over every evening after speeding was over, or, if snow falls, it could be levelled and thus keer the course in proper shape.
 The course could then be from 2 marked point near Broadway to poin near Orchard street, the horse passing the finish mark first being declared thu winner, and after every brush thu horses to return to Broadway by Whal l ley avenue, or turn to the right ant pass around the park to Webster, dowi Webster to Dixwell avenue, down Dix well avenue to the starting point, thus obtaining view of the finish Thi' leaves the speed course itself witt teams going but one way, thereb! avoiding accidents.

Enameled Ware.

Wonder why it is that no American maker can equal the best German enameled ware.
 American makers have tried often. One of them tried orly a few months ago. He made up lot of the very best ware that he could produce; stamp from heavy sheet steel, double coated with flawless white enamel.
 He said it was as good as the best German, which is ssStransky's.'' But the public didn't seem to think so, be- cause it sold for less money. So the people who wanted the best paid little more and got SSttrranslky SStrr ware. and the people who wanted cheap ware wouldn't pay even his prices.
 He gave up the experiment and has gone back to making a cheaper line. We had a big lot of the fine experimental goods and some of them are still left.
 Half prices. on anything you can find that you want. It's really superb ware, too.
