The first of last week the ponds were
frozen over to the depth of five inches and
the ice was like glass. The ice boats were
ready, but there was not wind enough to
move them. After the rain and the July
temperature which followed not vestige
of ice was to be seen. Then the ponds
froZe over again, but the snow storm which
set in Saturday night and continued Sunday
caused further postpOnement of ice boat
ing. When the conditions are right and
the sport begins there will be lively times,
as the new boat, the Ham Sandwich, will
try for the championship on Pitchers Pond.
