NEW SKATING PLACE

Through action by Mayor Victor
Ghapdelaine. children of the city and
especially those residing in the north
end. were provided ou Monday with
an excellent. safe, comfortably large
and conveniently located skating
place. Finding no opposition on the
part of the owners. the mayor had a
stream of water from a fire hydrant
played on the open lot AT the corner
of Church and Providence streets at
the rear of the new Derry building.
Most of the available land at the spot
was flooded to depth of several inch
cs. and when it froze over. there was
created an excellent skating rink.
During the week hundreds of young
people-and older ones too, for that
matter-have taken advantage of the
excellent skating so thoughtfnully
provided, and have apparently thor
oughly enjoyed themselves, free from
danger. Yesterday moderate wealth
er. followed by the rain storm. ruined
the skating. but doubtless the rink
will again be put into good condition
by order of the mayor, when cold
weather returns shortly.
