Why not let us come together,
the boys we mean, and start q ska
ting rink. Up North, and in fact,
in nearly every place of note, this
sort of amusement is all the go, and
the advocates of pleasure all like
it as it is a healthy exercise. Here
we have three halls that could be
used for the purpose, and just now
they could be rented cheap. The
principal expense for one starting
such a business would he in the
purchase of skates, which can be
bought at low figure. We are of
opinion that there is money in it
for the one who will start the bust
ness in Alexandria.
