Sizes, 8, 8½, 9, 9½, 10, 10½, 11, 11½in. In constructing this skate, no new or untried mechanical principle for obtaining the desired motions and power is employed. The transverse sliding clamp for grasping the sole, operated and held by means of pins and slots, is a mechanical device long and successfully employed on skates; which, with the single and directly acting heel clamp and longitudinal screw, make this the most desirable of all clamp skate in the market. All of the important parts of these skates are made of steel; and the runners are manufactured of the best welded steel and iron, carefully tempered.

VETERINARY INSTRUMENTS.
MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. BANJOS.
DOBSON’S Patented February, 1873.
The patent consists mainly in the application of an entirely new style of screw and clamp, the latter catching upon the metal hoop, and the screw passing through it and into a solid ash rim, forming for itself a thread almost as durable as one of metal, and producing an equal and powerful pressure upon the flesh hoop. The advantages of this banjo over all former patents are many, and comprise, mainly, a power of tone never before attained in a low-priced banjo; extreme lightness, durability, and an attractive appearance, which assures the dealer of a ready sale. On ALL these Banjos we use the best quality French calf head, Italian strings, and thoroughly seasoned wood for the necks and rims. TAMBOURINES.
