Show Logan Ice Rink "Real Thing" Perfect Ice, Music Occasionally, and Fair Crowds in attendance Nightly. To those famll.ar with last year's failure of the Logan Ice Kink tosecuro an lco surface much more even than the county road during the usual February Feb-ruary thaw, the new rink out on North Main will prove good to their eyes. L. J. Matlock, the sole owner, proprletor.financlal secretary, treasurer, treasur-er, president and directorate of the affair, af-fair, spared no expense in the picllm-Inary picllm-Inary work of this "new rink and as a result lie has an Ice surface that could not bo bettered. It Is as level as a ball-rooin lloor and up-to-date, has been frozen to a queen's taste. There Is a surface COx2J0 feet, Ice about four Inches thick, and each night after the skaters have gone, a quarter inch of water Is turned on and a new surface frozen. This has kept the rink in perfect condition and since last Saturday hundreds of skaters havo spent hours of pleasure there. Tho rink is open during the afternoon and evening until 10.30 o'clock, the place being lighted by electricity. The Logan City Band has been furnishing music occasionally, and It is possible that the organization may be engaged regularly for at least two nights during dur-ing tho week. The writer was at tho rluk Wednesday Wednes-day night rnd at U o'clock saw as many as fifty gliding over tho glassy surface. There was amplo room for these and as many more. Tho rink being narrow nar-row and long gives a decided advantage advan-tage over the square rink In which there is necessarily much circling. Ilules and regulations prohibit anything any-thing but the very best conduct, and It Is gratifying that no bolstrousness ' has ever been attempted as yet. There is a rather spacious waiting room at the entrance, containing a stove, so that none need suffer from cold. Mr. Matlock assured the writer that It Is Ills intention to run a first class resort re-sort one that must appeal to the-very best people in tho city who delight in such an Invigorating and healthful sport as skating undoubtedly Is. |
