Skating Rink Attraction.

Prof. Harrison gave an exhibi.
tion at the skating rink Wednesday
evening that was certainly worth
witnessing, and his work on roller
skates was something wonderful.
One Of the features of his perform
ance was rolling a barrel while he
was upon the same with skates on,
aud he performed this act with
great skill. Another feature of
special interest was his high jump.
The professor claims the world S
championship on this jump and his
leap of 3 feet II inches bears this
claim out. The broad jump over
nine or ten urchins who knelt down
shoulder to shoulder and permitted
him to leap over them was a sensa-
tional feature. But the chief at
traction of all was the slide for life
on an incline. This Is an act that
must be seen to be appreciated, and
the professor made the daring slide
in safety while the audience held
their breath. Mr.. Harrison will
repeat his performance and ring in
some new stunts Saturday night, SO
all who failed to witness his skill
Wednesday night will have an op-
portunity to do so then. His chal-
lenge as champion high jumper will
be contested then by two indiyid-
uals from different parts Of the
country, which will make the per.
formance Of special interest Satur-
day night.
The moving picture entertain
ment will be continued indefinitely.
Manager Brink deserves much
credit for his efforts to please aud
entertain the people Of st. Johns.

The real solution of the matter is
that the thing is probably what is

Some OF our friends have been
asking us TO advocate dividing the

should be called upon 10 either ad.

for the reason that II ID a private

banks good repositories and wish We

thing to do to give the new bank

hope that the matter may be adjusted
