Ngw,s,IWCO:RD, THVOSPAY: INFORTJAAY 14., 1914..4 outrun salvias Do you remember? BY JABEZ RANDS (As part.of Clinton's upcoming Centennial next year, lobes Rands of Clinton is writing a weekly column on the history of the town.) Do you remember all the different skating rinks in Town? The first mention of a skating rink in Clinton is taken from the November 14, 1862 issue of the Clinton Courier, the weekly newspaper at that time. "The leasing of a pond from Mr. Jonas Gibbings and the construction of a shed, and arrangement for lighting this On'e r This-pond wocild be the one known in later years as dwell': Ponds rs"th'e east side of Williatii:Steeets' ,:rih the year-4884,4a Clinton' Cu'rlin`ra'ncegliating Rink Company was formed and they bought'the lot on the north side of Princess where the house of Mrs. E. Radford now stands. They built a skating rink 'on the property. The rink was called the Clinton Palace Skating Rink, and in the latter part of January of 1892', there was a skating car- nival held in it which was claimed to be a great success. The rink was torn down by Mr. D. Connell in 1898 and he got 57,000 feet of lumber out of it. In the early part of this century, and the latter part of the 1800's, there was a rink on part of the ground in connection with the Commercial Hotel. This rink sat 'on the property on Mary Street now occupied by Wettlaufer's Feed Mill. To get to that rink, you left from Huron Street and went through the hotel property to get to the front entrance, This is gas station property now. An open air rink was running in the early part of this cen- tury on the lot just south of Holmes Dairy on Albert Street. The rink, operated by Robert Sweet, did not last too many years. In 1913, the large rink was built on the corner of Mary and Orange Streets. It was constructed by a Mr. Trench from Teeswater. For a year or two, there was some competition between the old rink and the new one. Of course, the old rink was small compared to the new and sometimes it was referred to as the sugar box. There were always signs up on the main corners or at the post office stating that there was "skating at the new rink tonight," and not far away, there would be a sign saying there was skating in the old rink, which was torn down about the year 1921. Robert Sweet ran the old rink and two young men (I do not recall their names) ran the new rink, which became known as the Clinton Lions Arena. A new community centre was built ih 1967 and the Lions arena was taken down in 1971. WESLEY-WILLIS UNITED CHURCH "THE CHURCH THAT CARES" PEOPLE SERVING GOD THROUGH SERVING PEOPJJ MINISTER: JOHN S.
