the minds of some people whether they will

Nicholas Rink last night between the teams from
the New-York Hockey Club and the St Nicholas
Skating Club two OF the players were knocked out
completely. thoroughly if the blow had been

took the ice. The ST. Nicholas team had recently

players thought they had excellent chance to
lower the Coors OF the Hockey Club men. who have
been carrying their heads at rather a disdainfuI
angle since they took the lead in the ponnant
struggle. The battle fast from the start. and
from the beginning it seemed TO be an unwritten
law that If anybody got in the way of rushcr
he must expect to measure his length on the ice
