Mr. Editor, Dear Sir:— This should be a good place to bring to the attention of some of the young people who use our arena, that it is a public place erected for the entertainment and healthful sport of all those who enjoy skating. There are a few who seem to think it is a place for their own special brand of rowdy- ism. There is lots of room outside the rink for snowballing, the rink is not the place for It! It is not only the young people who ars responsible. The older ones who ought to know better are too often the offenders. There are times for playing tag and. crack ,the whip other than when there are a crowd Meeting. This is only mentioning a taw of tbe things that are an annoyance.
