There is al­ so a small sharp piece of metal which sticks out of the wood into the boot to help hold the front of the skate from slipping. The blade, of course, is of steel about an inch in depth, and is sunk into the wooden part. The skates are fastened on by two straps, one at heel and the other at the toe. Mr. Merritt purchased them when he lived at Smithville and used them for a number >of years. The next style of skate after the wooden one was the semi-spring skate, then the spring skate. OBITUARY R.
