New Skating Rink.

The skating rink which is being built on Holmes Field is rapidly nearing completion. The earth has been banked up and the boarding of the sides is practically all that remains to be done. The rink is 180 by 80 feet, and is intended primarily for members of he hockey teams. At first it was planned to build a second rink of smaller dimensions, but the lack of room on the field has made this impossible. If the present cold weather continues the rink should be ready for use in a few days.

The land on Holmes Field is better adapted for a rink than that nearer the river, as the water will not drain off so quickly, and the surrounding buildings protect the field from exposure.
