FIRST SKATING

The boys and girls of the city en-
joyed their first skating today on
Twin ponds, Sprague avenue and
Sherman street. The ice was thin
but it answered the purpose and the

Soon after school hours the pond
was covered with lovers of the sport.
AS long as the ice held out the tired
feet kept up the race. Today the soft
snow followed by rain has worked
havoc with the ponds and unless it
turns colder there will be no skating
