Clippings from the Melbourne Papers— The Herald says We notice that the roller skat- . ing craze is growing fast in popular favour with the Victorians. The Columbia Rink, St. Kilda, has been in operation only a few weeks and already an average of 500 patrons visit the place daily and the attendance is constantly increasing. The Elite of Melbourne are to be found at the Rink, and the Columbia Rink may be said to be a grand social and financial success. Mr. Wallace's every evening exhibition of artistic skating, combining grace and speed in each movement is beyond criticism, and is certainly well worth seeing. The Argus says Skating seems to be a fashionable and popular pastime in St. Kiliia, judging from the crowded attendance of performers and spectators at the Columbia Rink. Though the floor is thronged with the skaters, tie general skill fulness of the performers prevents 115. thing like a serious mishap or collision. The Punch says Judging from the enormous crowd of fashionables that throng the St. Kilda Skating Rink, it is evident this graceful pa.stii.ie is losing none of its fascinations. The gatherings are quite representative, for here we meet judges, inedicoes, lawyers,'and clergymen, with a large sprinkling of pretty girls and tine young men. The Ballarat Courier says:—The Columbia Skating Rink was yesterday, as usual, well patronised. In the morning and afternoon, there were large attendances, and in the evening the building was packed. All the arrangements are perfect, and the numerous attendants very attentive. The popularity of the sport is daily increasing. The whole of Ballarat went, seeming to have caught the fever of excitement occasioned by the pastime. The Launceston (Tasmania) Examiner says Skating has secured the same favor here that has followed the establishment of rinks elsewhere, and the large attendances at the Columbia Skating Rink must be very satisfactory to the enterprising management. The Sydney Morning Herald says Last night the Columbia Rink was declared open by the Mayor of Sydney (Mr. A. J. Riley), who acknowledged his pleasure at seeing such a large gathering. As the Rink becomes generally known, increased patronage will doubtless follow. The Sydney Telegraph says :—The Columbia Rink is proving a big attraction, about 2000 persons being there last evening. The Australasian says :—On Thursday afternoon Major Qascoigne, Lord Brassey, and Mr. Wallington were at the skating party in the Exhibition Buildings, which was largely attended. His Excellency Lord Carrington was present with his two little daughters, all of whom put on The Evening Post (Wellington) says The Columbia Skating Rink appears to be increasing in its popularity, ana the afternoon and evening sessions were attended by enthusiastic Tinkers. The morning session for ladies is also receiving great patronage. The Evening Press, Wellington, says:— Skating is now becoming all the rage. On Saturday, at the Columbia Rink, the rollers were 111 great demand, it being computed that 1000 persons of both sexes, young and old, tyros ana proficients, disported themselves in various fashions peculiar to the different stages of the pastime. A very large number ot ladies attend the morning session with inarteu success, developing quickly into artistic skaters. The Weekly Herald, Wellington, says :—Tm Columbia Skating Rink loses none of its attractiveness. On Monday night it was comfortably "lieu, would not hold many more and ensure coniiort to all. The place is getting very popular. Many members of Parliament were present on »•» night. The public have taken to the Rink witn a will and a way, which is proved by the punctual attendance of the most aristocratic inhabitants 01 the Empire City. . . All respectable classes can go there— tn«uselves, and yet not get acquainted with cadi «n any more than if they were skating on Lake wan • gam _ Young men's christian association.
