SKATING AT LAKE WHITNEY.
Ice Several Inches Thick That Has
 Already Formed.

Ice Several Inches Thick That Has
 Already Formed.
 This cold and to some people rather disagreeable and undesirable weather, has been productive of what will af- ford many others of different turn of mind much pleasure. Ice several inches thick has formed on Lake Whitney and the other smaller bodies of water in close proximity to the city.
 Lake Whitney is frozen almost up to the first bridge and there is abundant opportunity for hundreds to enjoy this most fascinating and eXhilarating out door winter pastime. There were only few at the lake yesterday because of the fact that it was not generally known that skating was possible. The Yale hockey team was out and the can- didates had their first practice of the season There are about twenty candi- dates for the hockey team and the pros- poets are that a good team will repre- sent the university this winter. The first practice game will be played with the team of the St. Nicholas Skating club, at the St. Nickolas rnk, New York. December 15. The recent order of the New Haven Water e. to the effect that boating, fishing, bathing and skat- ing in Lake Whitney would not be longer allowed, does not prohibit skat- ing on the first CT second lakes up to the Whitney avenue bridge. Skating on that portion above the second bridge, however, is prohibited, but as very few persons ever skated above the bridge, this order of the Water Co. will not seriously interfere with the pleasures of the skaters.
