Tup GRrAr RINK OpRNIYa.-Last evening,
according to announcement, the mammotI

mirth, music. and pleasure. Although the
the Weather. the rink would be opened, many
doubts prevailed that, owing to the diminished
state of the building and the rain Whlch nal
thRwed all ice during the fore part OF the week,
a fuIther postponement would be compelled.
Not deferred, however, by these m&isglvings, &
crowds of people began vending their way
towards the place, long before the APP
pointed hour, and, on reaching tnere3;
no foundation in fact lent an aug
mented enjoyment to the occasion. without
detailing the paris 9 sae re- Sa aV
is most substantially constructed, and covers
an area of As S96 square feet 1t has 'front.' on
Race street of 100 feet, and extends In depth on
TWeniy first street about 300 feet The skating
accommodations are most ample-proDaoly
from one thousand to fifteen hundred persons
having sufficient room 10 skate at the same
time. ,.z ,or
feet multitude OF visitors thronged the place.
and they were all Of the better class of our
population. Two fine bands were in attend
ance the Rink was brilliantly illuminated with
gas lets, and was profusely decorated with
American flags, and tri.colored bunting.
The chief attractions OF the evening consisted
In an inaugural address by Colonel James
Page and the skating of the celebrated Cana
disnshe Meagher nnn BE6tneTs snd lae
the latter watched with the keenest interest,"
"na MONS O'clock Colonel Page was introduced
to the immense crowd assembled by j.. K;
Reed, Esq, and after the veteran skater had
received a warm welcome at the hands Of those
assembled, he made a CHARACTERISTIC and enter
tanning speech, during which he gave com
pIehensiye history of the art of skating in this
city, and adverted to his own personal remi
niscences as q skater. He sketched the career
OF prominent Philadelphia skaters during
the past quarter of a century and over, and
gave some valuable advice and seasonable
hints to young skaters. He spoke at some
length on the advantages Of skating rinks, and
traced their career in this country. He paid 9
Glowing tribute to the skill Of the Meaghel
BTothers as skaters and congratulated the
Philadelphia public on the increased facilities
presented to them for exercise in the graceful
and lnvigoratipg art of skating
After the exhibition of the Meagher Brothers
the ice was speedily covered with ladies and
gentlemen who passed the balance Of the even
ing in skating.
