skatlnS today in Tenth street Park, at
Hillside Mil in Chrlstlana hundred, and
on several other lakes and ponds in the
rural districts. The Brandywine was
coated in many places with a thick
scum OF ice, and those who witnessed
this fact felt that winter had indeed
set In with vigor.
For the first time this winter, the
Cool Spring Reservoir was almost COM
pleiely frozen over. This is usually
one Of the last bodies Of water to freeze
in Wilmington because Of its depth.
Thick Ice started TO form on the
Chrlstlana river at sundown last night
and az dawn, the stream was frozen
from shore to shore in several places
between this city and Newport.
Both sides Of the Delaware river was
lined with ice two inches thick this
morning. on the Jersey shore the ice
was especially thick and plentiful.
Helms Cove. above Deepwaier Point,
was solid sheet Of ice, and many
small craft had considerable difficulty
in tying up at the wharves at Penns-.
