SKATING AT LAKE WHITNEY.
Large Numbers Enjoy the Sport-The
Ice as smooth as Glass-some OF
Those Skating Yesterday.
Lake Whitney was crowded yesterday
with charming array of fair and graceful |
skaters. The day reminded many of tho
grand skating carnivals which have been
held in past years on this beautiful lake.
The whole of the lake below the first
bridge was eligible for skating except a
small spot in the middle of the channel,
was frozen over to the thickness of an inch
and half and, although not ventured on
by the crowd in general, was tried by
many of the more daring ones.
The scene presented was very beautiful
to the eye, and the dresses worn by those
of the fair sex gave color to the picture.
On the lower end several games of ice
polo, sometimes called Skinny" were in
progress, in which the students were an
Important factor One of the most inter
esting games was between the 'classicals"
and "scientificsn of the class of '92 Of the
Hillhouse high school. At the close the
former had made six goals to their oppon-
ents' two.
An agreeably noticeable fact was that the
polsists did not monepolize the whole of
the ice to the discomfort of the lady skat-
ers, but confined their games to one part.
Among the many of New Ravens young
people were noticed the Misses Ross, Miss
Edith LOOMS, Miss Lottie Bushnell, Miss
Mabel Lancraft, the Misses Trowbridge,
Miss Lulu Matthews, Miss Baldwin and
the Misses Webb. During the evening al
| 10 large crowd took advantage of the fine
lice. +=s ~ a7@
f Although it was feared by many that
the ice would not be thick enough to be
safe, to all appearances there was not the
| slightest danger The temperature at the
lake was several degrees lower than in the
| city, consequently the ice did not soften
in the slightest degree.
If the good weather of yesterday contin-
| 'ues to-day there will doubtless be greater
number of persons on the ice even than
| yesterday.
