Leased Anthracite Park-WiIl Flood 1t.
There has been great fear in the
bearts Of the devotees Of skating in
this city that they could not enjoy their
favorite sport this winter on account
p& the lack of any place to skate.
Last winter the owners of Anthracite
park had 1t flooded, and that 1t was
geod idea was evidenced by the great
humber Of people who daily went to
the park to skate. For some reason,
best known to themselves, they decid-
ed that they would not have the park
axed up this winter. This was a great
disappointment to all. for 1t is the only
place on which to skate. However, all
fears are put at rest by the announce
ment that w. ]. Bryne has leased the
park for the winter, and will make 1t
Into an artificial skating pond. The
plan for its flooding is much better
than used last year, and 1t can be
done more thoroughly. A well will be
sunk several feet below the river bed.
Into which the water will flow and
be forced into the basin by steam
pumps. An area of three or four feet
will flooded at first and If the busi-
ness is good 1t will be enlarged. The
surface of the ice will be kept in a
good condition and will be refrozen
when roughened by use. Wires will be
run In from the electric road, and the
pond will be brilliantly lighted by
electricity each evening.
