The above cut represents the New Half Clamped and Heel Strapped Roller Skate, with Nickelplated Steel Top, Heel Band and Plate. This skate is very much sought for by those having tender feet and requiring a support for the ankle. It is much preferred by expert skaters, because of its lightness, and the neat appearance it presents on the foot. The mechanism of the running parts is the same as that of Vineyard All Clamp, with Clamped Toe and Strapped Heel. This pattern is very much admired by ladies, and its use is becoming very general.

These Roller Skates are manufactured of the best materials, and nicely finished with French Polished Beech Wood Tops, strapped complete, with Patent Buckles, Boxwood Wheels, Steel Axles, and Nickel-plated Heel Bands. The wheels are hung to the tops in a simple and effectual way. The hangers have a middle support, which adds much to the strength and but little to the weight. This keeps the wheels apart, and makes a separate axle for each wheel. They are " light weight," perfectly strong and thoroughly reliable.

They are strongly made of wood and iron, finely finished and nicely painted. To adjust these poles for use, place them in the ground (as per illustration), 33 feet apart for single and 42 feet for double court. Next fasten the net to the screw-eyes in the poles provided for the purpose, then tie one end of the top rope to a hook on the outside of one of the poles, pass it across the top of both poles and wind it on the little ratchet apparatus (see cut) until the centre of the net is at regulation height, where it will remain

of the comics in this

at
considerable expense in making the collection, and remembering also the cheapness of our Polyopticons in comparison with magic lanterns and other wonder cameras, we have concluded hereafter not to
pledge ourselves to give any pictures with the Polyopticons, and to charge only fifty cents for our old whole book of pictures, which includes: Around the world in So sights. 30 Bible pictures and new Testament. 18 ancient and modern statues. 18 portraits of prominent persons. 10 illus-
