At Lake Como the ice was dotted with
skaters. 1t was expected that four
events in which several skaters with

the city were not lacking OF patronage.
Everybody nearly had rest from the
treadmill of toll yesterday and devoted
themselves to enjoyment.
Billiards were extensively cultivated
at FoIey's, the Ryan, Merchants, the
Sterling, at Joe Gruber's, and other
places.
