The •dismantling of the old
Diamond Jubilee arena is progess-
ing. Started recently, the steel
sheets have been removed from
both the north and south walls.
The arena was built in the fall of
1927 which was the 60th annivers-
ary of the Dominion of'Canada. If
memory serves the writer correctly,
this was the yeai that Lucknow's
main street was paved. The Ripley
rink is five years older than the
Maple Leaf Gardens on Carlton
Street in Toronto. As far as we
know, it represents the oldest
metal rink in this 'part of Western
Ontario.
