Fcr two days past great streams
cf water have been played on the
municipal play ground, and today
tl- • plot is one shimmering sheet of
glare ice, making it one of the fin
o<-* skaitng rinks that Skagw&y has
ever had.
As it was impossible to make a
riiiV- while the weather was soft, no1
publicity was given to the propos- |
ed plan, and when the weather turn j
ed cold, Marshal Page blew over to j
the hydrants at Fourth avenue and j
Stale and Fifth avenue and Main
a:id quietiy attaching tho hose, turn-^
ad the water loose, and Jack Frost
d*1 the rest.
So now it is up to> you to get
y<jur skates and away to the skatiu
rink.
P is understood that the kiddles
nJil b=> given the use of the rink
all di.v and up to S oclock in the
