THE AUCKLAND SKATING RINK.
Now we are in July, the very depth of winter so far as New Zealand is concerned. Winter suggests cold, cold suggests ice, and ice suggests skating. Well, we have no ice skating in Auckland, but there is a capital substitute in the rink. Mr. Forrest’s hall in Coburg-street is certainly worth a visit, and when once the roller skates are donned, and the difficulties overcome, then the fascination of the pastime will prove irresistible. A look in at the Auckland Rink will speedily certify to the truth of the assertion. The floor is good, the skates the best, and the management quite up-to-date. Small wonder that the evening sessions, as well as the Wednesday and Saturday matinees, are well patronised.
