One of the most interesting
races that has ever been held at the
rink took place there Friday even
ing under the auspices of the j. P.
S. (whatever that means). The race
on roller skates was between H. G,
Rowland and Robert Dorm, who
raced ono mile. The time was
GAS. Promptly at nine o'clock
the two contestants were lined up
on the starting line and Frank Jen-
kins, armed with percussion lock
gun, gave the signal, and immedi-
ately the race was on. For the first
ten laps they followed each other
around the course but on the tenth
Rowland got the lead after both
had a spill and entered into a death
grapple, which only terminated when
friendly hands separated them.
Rowland kept the lead only for a
couple of laps when he was obliged
to gaze at Doran's back. On the
twentieth lap Dorm was thirteen in
ches in the lead when Rowland con-
ceived a sudden desire to sit down
on the line. Dorm, the winner, how
ever, went around an extra lap just
to show them he wasn't tired CD.
There were about one hundred and
thirty tickets sold. The proceeds
of the sale, Messrs. Rowland and
Dorm say, will be used for banquet
which will be held some time this
week.
