skating on Old Reservoir.

The old Jersey City reservoir in
North Arlington, Immediately north of
the upper boundary of Kearny. was
thronged with skaters on Christmas
Day. A stout crust of ice had formed
on the water at the bottom of the big,
square cavity, and the descent and
ascent of the steep, sloping inner sides
of the reservoir deferred few from par
ticipating in the sport. Often a reck-
less youth would attempt to get down
the sharp declivity of brickwork with
his skates on and. missing his footing,
roll or tumble down to the ice, to the
amusement of the skaters below and
the crowd ranged about the top of the
reservoir.
