existing among certain classes of our people,
generously placed it at the disposal OF Mayor
kemper, to be used as a skating rink, aud the

it on Saturday evening and placed tour police
men to guard it aud collect the sum of ten cents
from each skater Yesterday aud last plight a
large uutnber Of persons availcd themselves of
the privilege, aud, as lamps have been put up
to light the pond when the moon does not
shine, and, in case of suow, the Mayor will em-
ploy the chain gang TO clear it of, the rink will
doubtless be still more extensively patronlzad.
1t is sheltered, on three sides by hills, and as
the ice Is from three to six irchcs thick, aud
the pond Is oaly from three fect and half to
three or four luchcs deep, it is perfectly safe,
and will afford the best skating in the city. We
learn that Mr.. Beach will probably enclose it
and erect suitable house, &C., for skaters, by
