Select Roller Rink.

The Select Roller Rink is again the
attraction with crowds of young peo-
pie. who have become roller skating
enthusiasts, and moving picture low
ers. Many new faces are seen there
now, many of them no doubt having
come in with the intention of watch
ing the pictures, but when they see
the able way the rink is managed, and
the courtesy shown to roller skaters,
they cannot resist the temptation of
trying the art of skating themselves.
Mgr Murree has not deviated a par
ticle from his rule of having perfect
orderliness at his rink, and a cleaner,
fairer place of enjoyment could not be
desired. The crowds have been the
largest, within the last few days, that
were ever IN attendance at the rink.
