' - The young people of the west side need a suitable plea for even- ing out-of-door divension such as skating, and if Mr. Livingston or some other owner of desirable property will show the public spiritedness that Alden'nan Van Riper is displaying, by donating the place, undoubtedly such action will be appreciated: Something in the way of a good skating pond where, on ' winter» evenings, the young peeple can go, and, not only enjoy the skating, but also have a place to rest and ‘fwarm up”-â€"-such a place as the little rehanty‘on, the Drumtochy rink , aflordsâ€"is a ne- cessity in Highlnnd Park. An ny person who will aid Al- derman Van Riper in his efforts in this undertaking will be centribnt- ing to the public welfare in a cause that is worthy of liberal support.
