Indoor Skating Rink in Boston

Ground was broken Tuesday on St. Botolph street, Boston, for the construction of an enclosed skating rink, to be known as the Boston Arena. It is expected that the building will be up and the rink ready for use on January 1. If possible, arrangements will be made by the Harvard Athletic Association by which the University hockey team may use the rink for at least the more important home games. Two seventy-five ton refrigerating machines will supply ice under all conditions of weather. The building will have a seating capacity of five thousand.
