CRAZE FOR ROLLERS
Great Activity on Skates Along the City's Fine Pave
 ments.
WHAT HARTFORD MAN SAYS
Believes That Mania for Roller Skat- ing Is at It's Zenith
 Here.

All signs fail in dry weather, accord ing to the old axiom, but while the spring has not been q particularly dry one, the old time-honored signs of the seasons have failed and threaten to pass Into history From time lmmemor- ial, tops, marbles and jumping ropes In the hands of young America have been the unfailing signs of spring and summer, but not so this summer. Ev- erythlng has given way to new craze whole juvenile portion of the town is now on skates, Tops and marbles no longer hold charm for the boys, any more than jumping ropes can amuse the girls.
 They skate to school and skate home again, and they spend the recesses skating, and poor indeed Is the boy or girl who cannot afford pair of rollers. Out on Livingston street and in other residential sections, the children who usually get what they want by asking for t have transformed the nagstone sidewalks into skating rinks, and in the York street section, where life is not such Q pleasant dream for the youngsters, they skate just as do the more fortunate children.
 Orange street. nicely asphalted, pre- sents an animated scene during the peasant afternoons nowadays. Jimmy. Johnny, Katie and all the rest hustle when school is over for tho day, sell their papers, and get busy on skates. The slope along the side of the Yale Dining hall Is just the place for the l beginners. They put their skates on al the top of the hill and start to coast down, and fly along as long as they can keep their feet under them. and then get up and try it over again. Bruises and damaged clothing count for noth- ing In learning to master the art, and | it is their ambition to learn to skate well enough to 50 down on the nice long stretch of asphalt on orange street and skate with the more pro- fcient ones, cut figure elghts, jump and even wrestle on them.
 A Hartford man. who had become convinced that the skating mania had reached its zenith In Hartford, recent | ly made a trip 10 New Haven, and then he changed his mind. In the Elm City, he said, not only children have the craze, but grown men and women were seen spinning up and down Or. ange street, and vehicular traffic there is a secondary consideration.
 No one is really able to account for the development of the sport, bu' 1t is thought that the skating rink' that have been opened in the last few years during the writer months tart. ed t. until some one thought of ex. tending it to the summer, and ther
