Good skating at Lake Ida
More than 800 persons who were at Lake Ida yesterday enjoyed good skating, although the Canterbury long-track championships scheduled for the week-end were postponed. The president of the Lake Ida Winter Sports Association (Mr A. E. Lyttle) said the weather was mainly fine although there was a brief shower of rain early in the day, lasting about 15 minutes. The weather afterwards cleared and the temperature dropped, giving good skating for the rest of the day. Mr Lyttle said there were 200 skaters at the lake on Saturday. Yesterday’s 800 was only half the previous Sunday’s patronage.
