The skating rink IN the brick
building just west of Washington
avenue will be opened for business
this evening. New floors have been
laid and the building has been put
in splendid shape for the use of

too noisy to continue in the Opera
House and the new location since
being fixed up is believed to be even
better than the old rink. Roller
skating is again getting to be quite
popular amusement throughout
the country, and Manager Sweet
