W.B. MacLachlan, who owns the large launch, “North Star,” on Lake Bemidji, has prepared an excellent skating rink on the ice at the end of Third street, between the city dock and the boat house, will hold his grand opening tomorrow afternoon. The rink is about 100 yards long by sixty yards wide and the ice is of unusually smooth quality. As the price of admission only five and ten cents, there will doubtless be a large crowd to take ‘advantage of this winter pastime.
Mr. MacLachlan has provided a comfortable house for the skaters to keep warm and to check their skates or other articles of which they may wish to be temporarily relieved. It is the intention of the present management to do everything in their power to make the place an attraction to the lovers of good skating. (Dec 12, 1908)
