SKATING FOR SAcRAMENTANs.- Messrs
Cole Bros, who are constructing a swimming
bath, as previously mentioned, have made
such changes and additions to plans of con-
struction as to enable them to transform the
bath into a frst-class skating-rink for the
winter season, by simply drawing down the
water in the swimming apartment to few
inches only in depth, and freezing it solid
with pipes connecting with the ice factory,
in the same manner that the very popular
skating rink on Fifth Avenue, New York. is
maintained. This will afford rare and fine
pleasure field to those who love that class Of
wintry sport, and in line entirely new in
our semi-tropical climate.
