and when she did recover herself SUM-

Mike to spare her baby. Over near the
park the dog dropped Dolly and looked at
her for a moment; then he picked her up
again and shook her until Mariuocia

we were overwhelmed with our unexpected
success, for while we hoped for a moderate
amount Of popularity we certainly did
not anticipate anything like the reception
we got.
1T was my first experience over there as
a star and l realize, now that l am getting
the right perspective. what q tremendous
advantage it has beer for me 70 see Lon
don life as l did through the medium Of my
work. You can go 10 London n enjoy
yourself in the season, but you don't see
the real London unless you work there and

Then you are thrown right into all the

instant the rushers started to got at the ball
In the middle Of the floor.
Then the necessities Of these games
required q liberal use Of powdered pumice
TO prevent the players from slipping, This
was %ruinous TO ordinary skating and it
probably caused many TO lose interest in
the sport. There were other causes too
for the waning Of the craze. Many who
had taken IL up quickly grew tired OF the
sport and turned to some other relaxation.
Then too many Kinks began to get bad
regulations.
The recent revival OF interest in roller
skating in New York. Pittsburg and
Western cities has come under conditions
entirely different from those prevailing
during the craze; In the first place, there
IL no polo or other games OF that nature
In the Kinks in these parts. The skates
In Use have been greatly improved and the
floors Of the public Kinks in New York are
kept in a most excellent condition, Races
are still occasionally held and exhibitions
Of fancy skating given. but no punice is
used on the floor. In a race ordinary
whiting, such as windows are cleaned with,
Is used TO a limited extent. but it does not
grind into the floor like pumice
All the roller skates used now in Kinks
are OF the club or clamp pattern, they
are easy to adjust. At the rink in Madison
Square Garden. whose ample space gives
play TO a vast extent floor, the rollers
on the skates for rent are all OF steel, al
though there Ia no objection TO skaters
bringing In rollers OF other materials as
long as they conform TO the standard.
Among the other substances used for
wheels now are aluminium and a oompo-
sition which contains tar: Experts say
that aluminium rollers are the highest and
best. They are also the most expensive.
Rollers made Of leather are also used. but
the steel roller is considered the best for
general purposes. Some professional skaters
still cling TO the lockwood vince.
One Improvement that makes roller
skating much more attractive than II used
TO be 10 the fact that all skates used at
the Kinks have ball bearings, This re-
duces greatly the physical effort. There
are nov several private roller skating
clubs which At certain times hire Kinks for
their exclusive amusement.

we we're storming a stronghold which
has been maintained in the past by such
men as Sir Henry Irving aud is at present

that we did not produce them all was

them so much with our Shakespearian

GROWTH OF THE SPORT.

bors CompIalned-The Craze OF the
SOS Polo One Thing That Killed II.
The revival Of roller ska ting in this town
got a black eye when the park and police
ufhclals put a ban on the use Of West End
avenue from Eighty-siXth to Ninety-slxth
street as an open air rink. Roller skating
by adults had heretofore been almost
entirely confined to covered Kinks at which
a charge is made for admission, but about
rlne months ago it was discovered that
this particular stretch Of asphalt pave
meat was as well adapted to skating as a
wooden floor and it began to get popular
with the young men and women Of the
ueighborhood.
Nobody found any fault with the skating
then and it was voted to be great sport,
as the pavement was always in prime condi-
ton and no surface cars run on the thor
oughfare.
The fame Of the outdoor rink, however,
soon spread beyond the Riverside section
and skaters began TO pour in from far and
rear Some OF them we're boisterous and
hen manners did not seem TO please tho
residents Of the t~horoughfare. The crowd
kept increasing until an actual count one
night disclosed that there were at least
200 skaters in the blocks most ~frequented
by them.
The character Of the crowd had COM
lI''o.y changed, and the skaters in many
ways made themselves a nuisance in the
reieh0orhood. Some OF the rougher ele-
mont were noisy and used bad language,
