Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1882-12-18

IL is 20 De regretted tnat there 1s no place OF
shelter about the lake. where skates could be
adjusted or ''warm-up" secured and if the
vicinity was better lighted at night the fun
could be kept up better than now, when the
only means OF illumination are what is vOuch-
safed by moon or stars. The monument looms
up appallingly then, and the skaters do not stay
late.
The bracing air to-day gives every evidence
that the ice field will remain intact for some
days yet. There is plenty Of sport in prospect
and brisk market for skates.
