Last Saturday afternoon a party OF
young people, taking advantage of the
charming weather, drove out to the
lower Mccormick ranch. Every lad and
lassie remembered to take his or her
skates, as Dame Rumor said that the
Ice up on the bench was smooth and
CLASSY and all that could be desired
by an enthusiast of the graceful,
healthful exercise of skating. A COM
modious wagon, laden with rugs, was
provided by Paul Mccormick, jr., and
at o'clock the jolly load of boys and
girls started out of town, their happy
faces and merry laughter going to
show their anticipation of the good
time they were about TO have. When
they arrived at the ranch they found
a tent erected and in the tent a stove
and a bright fire burning. This did
away with the only inconvenience of
open air skating, as no one was al
lowed TO suffer from chilliness or cold
feet. Provisions, especially acceptable
to the boys, to stay the pangs of hun
ger, were also there and altogether the
expedition was a most successful and
enjoyable one.
