Pond and the Young People Are

There was good skating on RusselIs pond
yesterday, and in the afternoon about fifty
young people enjoyed the sport. The boys
played hockey and there was great fun for
all. For many years the Hemingway
ponds have been favorite place for skat-
ers, and only second to Lake Whitney.
This winter, however, skating has been
prohibited, and there Is great disappoint-
ment for the young people. The objection
to the skaters was by the ice company.
The ice on Russell's pond is quite safe.
The route to it from the city is up Fair
Haven Heights past the Ives place, and
down in the hollow just beyond where the
new railroad is being built.
The repairing of the schooner Grace
Seymour has revived to some extent the
shipbuilding business that has been at q
standstiIl at the Fair Haven yard of b. b.
Hanscom for several months. 1t is esti
mated that the repairs will cost between
81, 900 and S. 900, and the owners of the
vessel has been assessed. They hope, how
ever, when the libel suit between their
vessel and the colliding bark is settled
they will get their assessment back.
There are now two vessels dischsrging
Virginia oysters, the schooner Bonita hav-
ing arrived yesterday morning. This
vessel came. out of Hampton Hoads just
after the gale which compelled feet of
eighty northbound vessels to return and
the captain reports good run.
