SKAT!N' IS FINE

Taking advantage of three inch
coating of ice which covers the Hi
inois and Michigan canal and the side
cut, both old and young residents OF
Ottawa turned out en- masse on
Christmas day and on Monday to
have little sport. Large numbers
crowded the ice and near the La
Sale and the Columbus street bridges
hockey games were featured. Big
and small prepared for the holiday
sport by having their skates sharpen
ed up a bit before hand.
The ice on the canal is fully three
inches thick and is recorded as be-
ing the thickest in the past three
years. Last season due to the mild
winter residents of this city were
unable to skate, because at no time
was the ice thick enough to bear the
weight of human person.
Many formed parties and skated to
Marseilles. returning to this city via
the interurban.
