Sullen went steadily until he had lead of
half a lap IN the seventh mile when St. Yves
went to the clubhouse. Then Sellen showed
more speed and gained lap on Marsh. For

AS. soon as the weather becomes cold

skaters will pc given their innings. A
rectangular space of about 200x250 feet
near the Frelinghuysen statue has been
inclosed by a 14-inch ~embankment and
a stream of water has been constantly
flowing into this space for the past
few days. This stream viii be inforce1

first indication of real cold weather,
and then skating will be assured.
This is a new venture undertaken by

hat it will prove successful.
The prospects of immediate skating
at Branch Brook Park are very dubi-
Gus, unless there occurs q radical
change in the weather, The ice is GOV
cred with several inches of snow, and
is not strong enough to support the
teams that would have to be used IN
clearing it. As soon, however, as the
ice becomes strong enough. no time will
be lost in clearing it of snow, and
everything possible will be lone to-
wards placing it in condition for skat-
