'''ALEXANDRA SKATING RINK'''
The [[Alexandra|Alexandra]] Rink closed on Saturday, last, after a most successful season, extending over three months. Members have been very regular in attendance, and most assiduous in practice, so that now most of them are very fair " rinkists." The club, which is a private one. numbers about 20 members and the gentle public are admitted on Saturday nights on payment of a small sum. Last Saturday, however, the youthful population of the town were admitted free of charge, and Vining's Athenaeum (where the rink has its local habitation) was crowded. Several of the visitors were provided with skates, and the walls of the old building never before resounded with such hearty, peals of laughter as were evoked by the vain endeavors of these young aspirants for rinking honors to get oven half round the room without coming to grief. Everybody was sorry when the house for closing arrived, one and all expressed the opinion that rinking way indeed the "poetry of motion," and many hearty good wishes were expressed towards the Alexandra Skating Rink Club.
