NEW ARENA UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Word on a new Boston skating arena, where ice hockey, indoor track games, boxing matches and similar sport events may be staged, has been begun on St. Botolph street on the site of the old Boston Arena. The new building will be a concrete structure providing an ideal indoor skating surface of 220x90 feet, and with seating capacity of approximately 5000 spectators. These seats will be arranged so as to provide a particularly fine view of the games from all parts of the house, and include boxes around the oval. In addition there will be a standing capacity of 2000 people.

This arena will be used for college contests as well as professional games, and will be complete by November 1.
