The chances this wear are against
such good skating as was enjoyed on the
Connecticut river last winter. On ae-
count of the ample volume of water the
Connecticut River Power company Is
making no effort TO keep any unusual
amount in storage. For the past Two
months some of the flood gates In the
Vernon dam have been open. and conse'
auentlv there is considerable current IN
the river, This prevents an even lorna.
ton of ice. and unless the stream falls
perceptibly, which is not probable, the
gates will not be closed at all this WIN
ter.
