PARK SKATING RINK.

Owing to the popularity of the races for
women which have been held at the
eOlympic Park Roller Skating Rink for the
last three weeks, the management has de-
clded to give the fair skaters another OPP
portunity TO put forth their speed tomor-
row evening. AS usual. there will be one
of the beautiful Olympic Park medals
awarded to the winner. This race VIII be
an Australian team pursuit race, a new

Olympic Park teams will play their first
game of Association football on rollers.
This should also prove interesting.

four acts and eight scenes, and tells a
story of passion, rivalry, love, adventure
and thrills. Its characters live in Cali
fornia's l~ow1ands, valleys, canyons and

unraveling of the plot.

dead father, falls into the hands Of as UNI
scrupulous and designing a gang of vii
lains as ever trod the boards. She finds a
