Arrangements for a Skating Rink
and Other Winter Sports

|
A special meeting of the Village
improvement society was held
Monday evening, at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles l.. Stuart, TO
consider the question of doing
something to help along winter
sports. Attempts have been made
at different times to keep a place
clear for skating, for none of
them have succeeded for any
length of time. The question of a
skating rink was the important
one on the program and it was
thoroughly discussed by the men
and women present, as the society
feel that anything they can do in
this line to give people wholesome
outdoor exercise, is Village I'M
provement in the best sense.
1t was finally voted to build and
maintain a rink this season, on
the meadow opposite Mr.. Stuart's
house, as he has kindly offered the
use OF the land. A committee was
appointed to oversee the matter,
which includes Charles. Stuart,
Willis Conner and w. c. Way,
and others may be added as wish
ed. A committee to draw up rules
and regulations includes Raymond
Campbell, Charles Hale, Cecil
Burns, Clayton Fisher, A. D. Sea-
yer and Walter True.
If there is a rink it is the wish
of the Institute students to form
a hockey team, and there may be q
chance for some interesting con-
tests. In view Of the expense
connected with building and main
tanning the rink which will prob
ably be not less than $500, it was
thought best to charge a small adj
mission, to be decided on by the
committee, which should go to-
wards defraying expenses. The
rink is to be by no means mon
ey making affair, and the society
expect to contribute from the
treasury towards its support, but
a fee for season tickets and for
single admissions will help make it
a reality. Work is to begin at
once, before the ground freezes
harder. and we hope to have a
good skating place hereafter for
everyone interested in this fine
sport.
