I. L. Baptie, a brother of Baptie the skater, has started a first class skating rink near the dock at the foot of Third Street. The dimensions of the rink will be 80 x 180 feet. Special events will be provided for throughout the season. (Pioneer, Nov 1901)
The skating rink is gone. The floor melted out; the roof and walls were carted off by J. P. Duncalf who purchased the lumber for $250. It is probable that the rink will not be rebuilt next winter, as Mr. Baptie is reported to have dropped over $1000 in the enterprise. (Pioneer, Apr 1902)
