Ice on the canal is not yet thick enough for
skating. but if the cold weather lasts until to

as . razor. thsy enjoyed the graceful exercise.
There were few pedestrians on the streets in
this section last evening. The piercing cold
wind kept many citizens indoors and the store

it. Situated as it is between two bays il is
always colder than other sections OF the city.
