Squareoe.org web site, last visited Apr 2009, Online Transcript: The Palais de Glace opened on February 10, 1925 on Melrose Avenue at Vermont Avenue, attended by "thousands of ardent devotees in gala attire" who turned out for the first ice rink in Southern California. The society mavens had their feathers ruffled when a crowd of some 200 "small boys" (who couldn't get into the sold-out event) opened a valve controlling a large tank of ammonia, releasing pungent fumes all over the box-holders. Order was restored by the management, police and fire departments, but the crowd was slow to file back into the arena. After some speeches, there were performances by "Miss Margot," who did her "dizzy gyrations," Harley Davidson, Jack Fusick, Hazel Deane, George Brian, Carolyn Trask, Charlie Uksila, Robert Mann and Emily Brown, "all expert exponents of the art of ice skating." Then Peggy Hamilton "and her skate-clad Fashion Show with her 20 famous stage and screen stars" brought down the house. There were multiple parties both before and after the ice rink's opening, including ones attended by Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford, Hancock Banning, E. L. Doheney, Jr. and Sr., and Alexander Pantages. The rink had been constructed beginning the previous fall and a January opening had been hoped for. The building was 140' by 325' with seating for 4500 people. The ice surface was 70' by 170' (which met regulation hockey requirements at the time). The ice surface contained 47,000 feet of pipe laid one inch apart. The "solution tank" held 20,000 gallons of brine, which is forced into the pipe by pumps. Ammonia is used to ensure an even ice surface in all temperatures.

The authorities of the Presbyterian Church of Victoria have been notified by Lady Fraser of her intention to transfer Picton, her residence at Queenscliffe, to the church as a memorial of her husband, the late Sir Simon Fraser, to be used as a rest home for ministers of the Presbyterian Church and their families. Lady Fraser is handing Picton over fully furnished. It is now ready for occupation, and ministers desirous of having the use of the residence for two or three weeks rent free, should apply giving particulars to the Rev D A Cameron, Assembly Hall, Collins street.

Through the generosity of Lady Fraser and family, the Melbourne Grammar School now possesses the finest boathouse on the river. It is a memorial to the late Mr Simon Fraser, captain of the school's boats in 1905, who died of diptheria. The building was formally opened yesterday. The head master of the school, Mr R P Franklin, said that the late Mr Simon Fraser gained the rower's greatest honour — that of rowing for Australia at the Olympic Games. (Load applause). "I am not going to try to tell Lady Fraser how grateful we are," he concluded, "but I would like to say that there could be no more fitting memorial to her son." (Applause). Archdeacon Hindley said that the name of the Fraser family was widely known and they had many evidences of Lady Fraser's kindness of heart. On behalf of Lady Fraser he handed the key of the boathouse to the captain of the boats (Mr Grey Smith), who called for cheers for Lady Fraser. "I hope," said Lady Fraser, "that the boats of the school will always be in the lead, but I know that this cannot be so. When you are not in the lead, I hope that you will take your defeat as true sportsmen." (Cheers) Amid cheering, Lady Fraser hoisted the school flag, and watched the first boat leave the sheds.

Online Transcript: San Francisco Chronicle, March 3, 1896. Portland, Oregon, March 20: The British ship Glenmorag, Captain Archibald Currie, from Callao, in ballast, for Portland, went ashore about 4 p.m. yesterday on the coast of Washington seven miles above Ilwaco in a dense fog. She sailed from Shields, August 15th, and arrived at Callao December 9th. The first intimation of the wreck reached Ocean Park about 5 o'clock when one of the crew arrived at Mrs. Taylor's seeking assistance for his injured companions. The news spread to Nahcotta like wildfire and soon after a large number of residents made their way to the scene of the wreck, where they found the captain and crew, of whom two were killed and four injured. The ship struck at about high water and now lies port side to the shore. From Captain Currie it is learned that the first indications of danger was the cry of "Breaker on port bow!" from the man on the lookout. He immediately attempted to wear around and almost succeeded when she struck and swung around, broadside on, with her head to the southward. The after port and starboard boats were cleared away and lowered, both reaching the water about the same time. The mate, who was in the lee boat, attempted to pull out to sea, but was forced to let her drift in shore. The boat which had been lowered on the weather side in rounding the stern was caught by a tremendous sea and dashed up under the ship's counter crushing the occupants in a cruel manner and smashing the boat considerably, the air-tight tanks with which she was provided alone keeping her afloat. The captain next set about lowering the forward boat, and reached the shore in safety an hour later. On landing he discovered that two men had been killed and four injured. The Glenmorag is an iron, full-rigged ship of 1567 tons register, and was built on the Clyde, Scotland, in 1876. She is owned by R. & C. Allan, who were also the owners of the Strathblane, which was wrecked near the same spot four years ago this month. Captain Currie had been in command of her the past nine years. The Glenmorag was the last of the clipper ships built for the Allan Line, and was owned by R.S. and C.A. Allan of Glasgow. She was launched at Glasgow in 1876, was 255 feet long, 38 feet beam, and 22 feet deep, and of 1567 tons.

Transcript: The ice skating rink was reopened on Thursday evening. Considering the short notice the devotees of the art were given, there was a large attendance, the floor being well filled with skaters, while the seating accommodation was freely used by those who preferred to see the splendid ice floor used by others. Several improvements have been carried out, a great advantage being the partition erected between the entrance and the rink proper. The feature of the evening was an exhibition of fancy skating by Professor Brewer, who comes to Australia with excellent credentials. He proved that he is a skater whose equal has never been seen in Australia on an ice rink, and was loudly applauded for his dexterous and interesting exhibition, which reached a climax when he turned a complete somersault while going at full speed. The floor was in a better state than was ever reached previously, and all those who tried it vouched for its excellence. The temperature of the building was pleasant, the air being beautifully fresh and cool. The rink will be open every evening. [329] Adelaide Advertiser, Wed 15 Mar 1905, p 7. Transcript: The fact that Australia possesses an up-to-date ice rink — the only one in Australia — is greatly appreciated by large numbers of skaters, as well as by other visitors, who find the Glaciarium a cool and pleasant resort. The reconstructed floor gives a perfect surface, on which Professor Brewer, the expert from Prince's Rink, London, demonstrates what swift and artistic evolutions can be made. There are also many skillful amateurs, and all who try the ice are enthusiastic regarding the pleasures of a graceful and healthy exercise. [330] Adelaide Advertiser, Tue 25 Apr 1905, p 7. THE GLACIARIUM. The Glaciarium was well attended on Monday evening, when a programme of sports was carried out. There was a large attendance. A hoop race in three heats was run.

The Glaciarium has been well patronised during the past week, and the number of ice skaters shows a marked increase. The Warehousemen's Association sports were run on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, and the competition was keen on each occasion. On Wednesday and Thursday evenings races were held for members of the crew of the Austrian cruiser Panther, and provided much amusement. Professor Brewer gave exhibitions of fancy and fast skating, covering six laps in 1 min. 2 sec. The principal race for warehousmen was a half-mile scratch. The results were:- Half mile Scratch.- (add) ... This evening the rink hockey team will play a match against a team selected from the crew of the SMS Panther. Professor Brewer will give an exhibition of skating. Historical note: In 1866 a small group of commercial travelers in South Australia banded together with the objective of getting some redress for grievances they had about the state of roads and hotel accommodation. This was the original group formation of the Commercial Travellers' Association in Australia. Having achieved what they set out to do, they disbanded early in 1873, with their accumulated funds being donated to the Adelaide Benevolent and Strangers Association. After a brief repose, the group reformed in 1874 and became the South Australian Commercial Travellers' and Warehousemens' Association. Sir Edwin Thomas Smith (1830 - 1919) was a patron. [336] Adelaide Advertiser, Mon 17 July 1905 p7. Part transcript: ... a hockey match was played between teams captained by Professor Brewer and Professor Caldwell. All the players were expert skaters, and the match they provided was the best that has been played on the rink. The game was fast from the beginning, but it was soon apparent that Professor Caldwell's team had the measure of their opponents, and they eventually won by 3 goals 1 point to 1 goal 1 point.

Notes: The Caledonian, June 2006, Official Newsletter of the Royal Caledonian Society of South Australia. Part ranscript: In 1902, a scholarship was presented by Wm. Muirden Esq. at his Commercial College. Miss Belle Maxwell was the first recipient. These scholarships were allotted by the Society for students from 1904 to 1948. Recipients were students at Saint Peters, Prince Alfred’s and Scotch Colleges, and in later years to students at the Presbyterian Girls College (now Seymour). A Brief History of the Society, Royal Caledonian Society of South Australia. Between about 1906 and 1961, annual Educational Scholarships for children of Society members with a tenure of three years were allotted to by the Society to students attending Saint Peter’s, Prince Alfred’s and Scotch Colleges, and, since the mid 1920’s, to students attending the Presbyterian Girls College. In 1903, an early Director of the Society, one Mr Muirden who founded Muirden College, generously established an annual one year scholarship for a student to attend his College. The first such student was a Miss Maxwell in 1904. In all, in excess of fifty students benefited from all these scholarships until their cessation. Following the financial difficulties caused by the hall additions, all remaining funds in the Scholarship Account were transferred into General Revenue to assist with mitigating the debt.

To- night there will be a hockey match, and this is one of the most interesting sports that can be played on the ice. Profeseor Brewer, who has been to Switzerland, will give an exhibition of fancy skating on Saturday evening, and will remain at the rink for a short season. The fancy-dress and poster carnival, to be held next Wednesday evening, promises to prove more than ordinarily attractive, and numerous skaters are going to considerable trouble and expense to equip themselves with suitable costumes. [349] Adelaide Advertiser, Tue 12 Mar 1907, p 8. ALLEGED BREACH OF AGREEMENT. PROPRIETORS OF A SKATING RINK SUED. Melbourne. March 11. An action in relation to an alleged breach of agreement in connection with the refrigerating machinery business carried on at the Glaciarium was begun at the Banco Court to-day before the Chief Justice. The plaintiff was Charles Macdonald, and the defendants were Henry Newman Reid and the Melbourne Ice Skating and Refrigerating Company. The plaintiff, who was a manufacturer of machinery, carried on business in Sydney and Adelaide, and the defendant was an engineer in connection with the refrigerating machinery and cold storage. The plaintiff on March 3 entered into an agreement with the defendant Reid, under which the latter was to act as his general manager at a salary of £500 for the first year, £600 for the second year, and £750 for the third year, and was to be allowed his travelling expenses. An understanding was come to that it would be part ot the duty of the defendant to use his influence in promoting and assisting in the formation of syndicatrs or companies for ice refrigerating and cold storage purposes. One stipulation was that, such companies when formed should purchase the requisite machinery from the plaintiff, and that liberty should be reserved to the defendant to prepare the plans and specifications for such services. Reid was to receive 2,000 fully-paid up shares in the defendant company. Some 1,500 shares had been allotted him, and the other 500 shares were to be handed to him when he had complied with certain conditions. A declaration was sought by the plaintiff that the 2,000 shares were his (the plaintiff's) property, or that they were acquired bv Reid as trustee or agent for the plaintiff. The defence was that the agreement existed between plaintiff and defendant, who, however, denied that he was bound by it to give the whole of his time to the plaintiff's affairs. He was at liberty, he asserted, to devote a portion of his time and ability for his own benefit, and not as employee of the plaintiff in connection with the flotation of companies. The defendant said, it was allowable for him to receive for himself personal remuneration, either in money or in shares, for such promotion. The case stands part heard. Adelaide Advertiser, Wed 27 Mar 1907, p 7. A SKATING-RINK CASE. BREACH OF AGREEMENT. Meboume, March 26. An action in relation to an alleged breach of agreement in connection with the refrigerating machinery business carried on at the Gladarium was concluded in the Banco Court to-day. The plaintiff Charles McDonald, and the defendant Henry Newman Reid, of the Melbourne Ice Skating and Refrigerating Company. The case for the plaintiff, a manufacturer of machinery, carrying on business in Sydney and Adelaide, was that he entered into an agreement with the defendant, Reid, under which the latter was to act as his general manager. It was part of the duty of the defendant to use his influence in promoting and assisting in the formation of syndicates or companies for ice refrigerating or cold storage purposes. During the time Reid was in the plaintiff's employ he assisted in the promotion of the Melbourne Ice Skating Company, and prepared plans and specifications for such purposes. Reid was to receive 2,000 fully-paid-up shares in the defendant company. A dedaration was sought that the shares in question were the plaintiff's property, or that they were acquired by Reid as trustee or agent for the plaintiff. The defendant denied that he was bound by his agreement to give the whole of his time to the plaintiff's affairs. The Chief Justice found that the plaintiff's view of the case was a right one. The defendant, at any rate, had not satisfied him that his version of the affair was correct. He therefore found for the plaintiff and ordered that the shares in question be given up to him. Adelaide Advertiser, Wed 25 Sep 1907, p 7. THE GLACIARIUM SHARE CASE. Melbourne, September 24. In the High Court to-day, judgment was give on the appeal over the Glaciarium shares. In the original action, the plaintiff was Charles Macdonald, of Sydney and Adelaide, and the defendants were Henry Newman Reid and the Melbourne Ice Skating and Refrigeration Company. It was alleged that the plaintiff entered into an agreement with Reid, under which the latter was to act as general manager, and that it was part of Reid's duty to use his influence in promoting the formation of syndicates for ice refrigerating or cold storage purposes. During the time Reid was in the plaintiff's employ he assisted in the promotion of the Melbourne Ice Skating Company and prepared plans and specifications. Reid was to receive 2,000 fully paid-up shares and 1,500 were allotted to him. The plaintiff sought a declaration, that the shares were his property. The defence was that the plaintiff was at liberty to devote a portion of his time and abilities for his own benefit, and that he was entitled to keep the shares. The Chief Justice gave a verdict in favor of thel plaintiff, and the defendant appealed against that decision on the ground that it was against the evidence. The High Court gave judgment unanimously in favour of the appellants. The defendant's contention that he waa not bound to give the whole of his time to the plaintiff's affairs and that he could engage in other work was upheld. When Reid undertook the supervision and erection of a glaci arium he was, the court found, acting in a capacity other than that of a servant of the plaintiff, and he accepted the shares as remuneration for the work so performed. The decision was come to by the court that it was no part of the defendant's agreement with the plaintiff that he was to hand over the shares and the defendant was therefore entitled to hold them. The judgement of the court below was discharged. [350] Adelaide Advertiser, Sat 27 Apr 1907, p 12. [351] Adelaide Advertiser, 1, 11, 27 May 1907 (pp. 10, 11 and 12 respectively).

The new Ice Skating Rink at the old Cyclorama was opened for business on Wednesday, a free night on Tuesday having inaugurated the season. There was a good attendance, the house being full in the evening. The floor is not in quite perfect order owing to the difficulty of keeping the expansion within assigned limits, but each day will see improvement. A large number of skaters, many of whom graduated in the Exhibition Rink, occupied the ñoor, while many others watched proceedings from the comfortable seats provided. The management have spared no expense in the arrangements, and ice skating bids fair to become as popular as roller skating. [357] Adelaide Advertiser, Fri 3 Jun 1904, p 6.

There was another capital attendance a the Ice Palace Skating Rink on Saturday evening, and the popularity of the rink is evidently on the increase. Two special attractions were presented, one a keenly contested hockey match, and the other an exceptionally fine exhibition of fancy; skating by Professor Brewer, whose departure for Melbourne is not far distant. The hockey teams were captained by Professor Caldwell and Brewer, the latter's division gaining the victory by one goal to one point. Mr. C. Barker acted as umpire, and prominent amongst the players were Smith, Dyer, Parker, and Read (sic, probably Reid). The ice was in splendid condition, and large numbers of skaters were upon it.

Transcript: ICE PALACE SKATING RINK. A crowded house gathered at the Glaciarium to witness the first hockey match of the season. Professor Brewer and Profesor Caldwell captained the teams. The play was fast, but there was evidence of want of practice. Professor Brewer's team were the winners, Langley making the three goals; the one goal obtained by Professor Caldwell's team was scored by Parker, but the feature of the game was decidedly the brilliant play of H. Smith and H. Dyer. The poster carnival advertised for Wednesday night promises to be a great success. To-night Professor Brewer will give another of his interesting and clever exhibitions. [362] Adelaide Advertiser, Fri 14 Oct 1904 p 2. Transcript: ROLLER-SKATING IN ADELAIDE. Some years ago an enterprising Yankee made several thousand pounds by converting the Jubilee Exhibition for some months into an extensive roller-skating rink. A Perth resident has now arranged to lease the building for four months - May, June, July, and August - for a similar purpose, and intends to conduct operations on a large scale. Over 3,000 pairs of skates have been purchased, and expert roller-skaters of Melbourne will be engaged to act as instructors. In connection with the opening night 2,000 invitations are to be issued. Carpenters were at work at the Exhibition on Thursday repairing and planng the splendid flooring boards that were put down by the original, American promoter ol the scheme. A railing has also been erected round the spacer reserved for skating The noise made by the busy workmen, however, is having a distressing effect upon the nerves of the officers of the Agricultural Department. Sounds of hammering echo over their heads all day, their offices being separated from the main building by an 8 ft. high wooden partition, which extends only about one-third of the way to the roof. Their troubles when skating is in full swing in the winter months are likely to be considerably greater. [363] The Advertiser, Tue 15 May 1906, p 8. A PRESENTATION. - Mr. H. Newman Reid, who has relinquished the position of manager of the Ice and Cold Storage Company, to take up an important engagement in Melbourne, was entertained on Saturday afternoon by the employees of the company and a few friends. The chair was taken by Sir. Colin Stewart, who voiced the good wishes of the gathering. Mr. J Kennedy, on behalf of the subscribers, presented Mr. Reid with a handsome gold watch. [364] The Advertiser, Adelaide, SA, Wed 25 Jan 1911, p p 10-11. The Rev. John Reid, M.A., well-known in South Australia as an eloquent and brilliant preacher and lecturer, died last week. Mr. Reid was born at Leven, Fife shire, and educated at Newton College, and the Edinburgh University, and he arrived in Australia over 40 years ago. He was tutor to Lord Rosebery, and for number of years dramatic critic for a leading Scottish paper. He was lecturer for the Palestine Exploration Society, and lectured before Dean Stanley and other notable men at Oxford. For many years he was professor of church history and philosophy at the Congregational College for the Training of Ministers. He was one of the first and most widely known lecturers in connection with the University extension movements, both in Adelaide and Melbourne, his lectures on Shakespeare (on whose writings he was a foremost authority in Australia) created so much interest that he was despatched by the University extension committee to deliver courses of lectures on Shakespeare's plays in the leading country centres. Together with the late Professor Morris and the late Dr. Neild (says the "Argus"), he was one of the founders of the Melbourne Shakespeare Society, of which he was secretary for many years. He was also one of the trustees of the Melbourne Public Library, and occupied a seat on the council of the Working Men's College for some years. From his earliest days he took a very active part in literary work, acting as correspondent for a number of English papers and journals. He was a regular contributor to the Melbourne Periodical and for many years he was actively engaged in scholastic work. He was the elder and only brother of the late Mr. Robert Reid. He had lived in retirement for the last few years. He left a widow, three sons, and six daughters., Mr. W. E. Reid and Mr. H. Newman Reid are well-known Melbourne business men, and Mr. Edward Crichton Reid is a resident of Dunedin. [365] Adelaide Advertiser, Mon 1 Jun 1903, p 10. Transcript: ICE AND COLD STORAGE COMPANY. Mr. Newman Reid, the general manager of the Adelaide lce and Cold Storage Company, which, for several seasons past has been shipping several thousands of carcases of frozen sheep and lambs, besides large quantities of rabbits, to London, showed a representative of The Advertiser over the premises at Light-square on Saturday morning. The large "Hercules" ammonia direct expansion 70-ton refrigerating machinery was working almost as smoothly and noisie lessly as clock-work. It is intended shortly to enlarge the compressor from 70 to 85 tons refrigeration. The patentee of this machinery is Mr. C. A. MacDonald, a Scotchman, who went to America in early life and took a leading part in the erection of refrigerating machinery there. The works in Adelaide belong to him. Ninety per cent of the whole of the freezing machinery in Australasia consists of the patent plants supplied by this firm, which has also been erecting works in South' Africa of a value of about £100,000. The company now intends expanding its business in Adelaide. It has secured the services of one of the most expert men in poultry matters from Victoria, and purposes shipping large quantities of first-quality birds to Europe. The poultry are "got up" in an attractive way before being placed in the cold chambers. Fish salerooms are to be established at Light-square, the services of Mr. J. Wiseman, who is well-known in this trade, having been secured. A cold storage room for the keeping of fish has been erected. The first-sale is to take place on Thursday next. On entering one of the rooms at Light square on Saturday 70 tons of ice was seen, and Mr. Reid said, "This is only our winter supply, and of course it is not nearly so large as the quantity we have in the summer." He added that ice was merely a by- product of the company, being made by a condensation of the steam used in driving the engine. [366] Adelaide Advertiser, Mon 6 May 1907, p 10. Transcript: ICE-SKATING RINK. There was a record attendance at the Ice Skating Rink on Saturday evening, when Professor Brewer gave an exhibition of fancy skating. Professor Brewer has recently returned from Switzerland, where he won a medal, and his clever and graceful movements on Saturday were much appreciated by the large audience. A complete master of the art in all its branches, Professor Brewer is of course a long way ahead of any amateur performer, but visitors to the rink must be impressed by the wonderful progress made by many of the enthusiastic ice skaters who were first introduced to the ice in Adelaide. Some have attained such skill that they give in quite a casual way exhibitions of figure skating so fine that on a roller rink only the most accomplished professional could equal them. There could be no better proof of the immense superiority of the ice as a skating surface to any artificial substitute. The sport is growing in popularity, and deservedly so, since it is at once artistic and exhilarating. A good programme has been arranged for tonight, when members of the various Australian rowing clubs will be present. [367] The Morning Call, newspaper, San Francisco, Sat 22 Nov 1890, p 2. Transcript: GRAND FETE NIGHT. A Mile Race on Skates at the Olympian Club Rink. Next Tuesday night will be a grand fete night at the Olympian Club rink in the Mechanics' Pavilion. That evening there will be a one-mile race on skates between J. Waldstein, the champion speed skater of California, and A. N. Ridgely of the Olympian Club. The result of this race will make a new race record for the Pacific Coast. On this occasion Aginton, the monarch of all roller skaters, will illustrate a few special steps in artistic skating. (Also see accompanying advertisement in biography of "Robert Jackson". [368] The Advertiser, Mon 11 June 1906, p 5. ICE SKATING. Melbourne's first ice rink was opened yesterday at Prince's Bridge, and it attracted a large number of people. The new venture is known as the Glaciarium and £40,000 has been put into it. [369] A Black Man's Toronto, Harry Gairey, From: Polyphony Summer, 1984 pp. 237-239, Multicultural History Society of Ontario. After Jamaican-born Gairey's son was refused admittance to the Iclandia rink in Toronto in 1945, on the ground that he was "coloured", Gairey arranged a meeting at City Hall. Part transcript: I said, "Now it would be all right if the powers that be refused my son admission to the Icelandia, I would accept it, if when the next war comes, you're going to say, 'Harry Gairey, you're Black, you stay here, don't go to war.' But, your Worship and gentlemen of the council, it's not going to be that way, you're going to say he's a Canadian and you'll conscript him. And if so, I would like my son to have everything that a Canadian citizen is entitled to, providing he's worthy of it. Thank you, gentlemen of the council." I think it was in the paper the following day; students from the University of Toronto picketed the place. And it was the first time that the City Council made an ordinance that they must not discriminate because of race, creed, colour or religion. I was the man that caused that ordinance to be passed, with the help of the good White people of Toronto. That was one of the first incidents that happened in the City of Toronto. The rink had to go out of business. It was in all the papers, in France and the United States also...."

The hockey match which was played at the Glaciarium on Monday evening between teams representing G. & R. Wills & Co., and Harris Scarfe, & Co., proved a success, and resulted in a win for Harris Scarfe, and Co. by four goals to nil. This evening teams representing England and Australia will meet on the ice. The following are the players:-England-Swanson, Barker, Poole, Knight, Watts, Osendale. Australia-Parker, Clutterbuck, Hosking, Nightingale, Butler, Part. This match is expected to prove an exceptionally good one, and is attracting a great deal of interest. [371] The Advertiser, Sat 16 Jun 1906, p 5. ICE PALACE SKATING RINK. The association hockey matches being played this season at the Glaciarium are increasing in popular favor, and on Thursday evening the supporters of the rival teams met in force and frequently applauded during the game. Elder Smith's team made their first appearance on the ice against Harris Scarfe, who won the tournament last season. As was expected Harris Scarfe proved too strong, securing 5 goals to nil. Staples scored four goals and Champness one; but Eider Smiths, with more practice and better placing of the men, will no doubt improve. Bray, Gibson, and Grist showed a good knowledge of the game, and played well for the losing side. This morning children will be admitted free to the rink, and to-night a football match will be played on the ice between the North Pole team, captained by H Smith, and the South Pole, captained by G. Nightingale. [372] The Advertiser, Mon 16 July 1906, p 10. THE GLACIARIUM. Saturday was a busy day on the ice. Many school children avail themselves now of the morning's cheap fun, and the numbers increase each week. For with children, as with adults, it is only necessary to get them on to the skates once, and the fascination of the exercise brings them again. At night the attendance was large, both on the floor and around it. A hockey match, between the rink staff and combined players evoked excitement. The game resulted in a draw, as neither team scored. This is the first occasion in the history of hockey on the ice in Adelaide that such an unusual event has been recorded. It was brought about largely by the even standard of proficiency displayed and by determined efforts of the defenders at each end. Afterwards the prizes awarded at the Glaciarium carnival on Wednesday night were distributed by Mr. H. H. Bowden, captain of the Scotch College football team, whose members have spent their spare tlme during the week in learning to skate before returning to Melbourne.

I have just spoken to Dad to clarify a couple of points. Dad was born on 12 July 1927. His father was Clifford James Acton. Cliff was the Trainer when Dad was the Captain and Coach of the Wildcats. (I have a photo of this team which includes, Dad, Grandfather and the Wildcats Team) The details are correct regarding Dad's Grandfather Benjamin Acton. Dad was born in Footscray Hospital and lived with his the family at 11 Droop Street. In 1960 Dad was nominated at the Olympic Filed Hockey Captain to participate in Rome and of course the Olympic Ice Hockey Captain that participated in Squaw Valley. Due to a lack of finances (being a plumber) he could only afford to participate in one event. There is a news paper clipping photographing an unshaven Ben Acton tossing a coin to make his decision. Of course there was never any choice really, Dad's first love was Ice Hockey. I always remember attending the 25th Ice Hockey Reunion in Melbourne with Dad and Julius (Judy) Patching praising Dad's efforts. Judy said, "I have seen many Olympic Champions over the years. Dawn Fraser, Herb Elliott, Ron Clark to name a few but I have never seen anyone like Ben. He would attend an Australian Field Hockey Training session and immediately drive to the Olympic Ice Hockey Training session and participate there as well." We believe that Dad is the only person in the world who has represented his country in both Field Hockey and Ice Hockey. [385] Footscray Hockey Club, 10 Fogarty Ave, Yarraville, web site.

Captain Goodall was about 75 years of age. A few years ago he married a comparatively young woman and with his wife went to Europe. Reports received from England were to the effect that he had been declining rapidly of late. His fortune is an immense one. [409] Email from David Clover, Oxford, UK, 17 Sep 2012. I was looking at this web page earlier today, Section start: THOMAS JAMES WEST ( – ), and found a reference to TJ West the film exhibitor. The paragraph perpetuates some confusion with that of AJ West – who was a different person and ran a quite separate and distinct operation called ‘Our Navy’. T J West was definitely not a Director of ‘West's Our Navy’. This was a confusion that dogged Alfred West through the 1897-1912 period when he was exhibiting films in the UK and Australia. In his unpublished autobiography (1936), he writes: “A few years after I started, I was surprised to receive letters from people in a provincial town asking why I did not show the same pictures there as were shown in London. I subsequently found that a film show had been organised under the title of “West’s Pictures” by a Mr. T.J.West, who had previously run a “Modern Marvel Co.”, and his programmes were made up from films obtained from film dealers. This caused considerable confusion as far as my show was concerned, and even at the present time he is sometimes credited with having been the founder of “Our Navy”. Mistakes sometimes arise, and I think that it is only fair to myself that I should mention this.” T J West also acknowledged the confusion and he freely confirmed in his promotional material that he had no connection with A J West and ‘Our Navy’. ‘West’ is indeed a common surname in Australia, but anything you can do to separate the two names more effectively in your short and interesting article would be most helpful. You can read more about A J West at http://www.ournavy.org.uk and on Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_John_West I am researching a talk about A J West at the moment which I’m giving on October 3rd in the very London cinema where it all began in 1898 which is how I found your article. I’ve noticed that a lot of Australian (and NZ) newpspares from the period have now been scanned and digitised so there is plenty to find from your sources there now. West’s ‘Our Navy’ toured Australia extensively in 1901 led by Mr Snazelle and then later on West’s own touring staff. Alfred West’s Great Grandson, Simon West, lives in Victoria.

Transcript: RAIDERS SET FOR ICE WIN By MAX CRITTENDEN Raiders are “odds-on” favorites to defeat Pirates in the ice-hockey premiership at St. Moritz rink tonight. Pirates won their way to the grand final with a protest win against Raiders on Friday night, on the grounds that Raiders had played an ineligible man. Raiders had won the match 3-1. Raiders overcame the biggest obstacle to the final by defeating Monarchs on Tuesday night in the preliminary final. It was expected that the Monarchs with their Canadian drawcard, Bud Mac Eanhern, the driving force for Victoria in the Interstate series, would prove too good for Pirates. Raiders have headed the list throughout the season, suffering only one defeat by Golden Bears. Pirates, second on the list, lost four games - three to Raiders. Champion Pirate goalie, Clarrie King, has been placed on the defence line, and will be switched at half time only if Pirates are down. He saved 40 shots at goal from Raiders in their last tussle, and he could help Pirates to cause an upset. Teams are: RAIDERS: Jan Kursweil, Tommy Endrie ( Capt), Geoff Henke, Russell Jones, Miro Roznetinzky, Carol Martin, Kevin Sheehan (goalie), Ivor Lyell, Ivan Vesely, Colin Fraps. PIRATES: Frank Krista, Frank Malosek, Clarrie King, Nowl Stewart, Johnny Nicholas (capt), Graham Argue, Jimmy Carolan, Cliff Percy, George Endrei, Emal Majesuk, Vic Ekberg.

This, together with the formation of the Figure-Skating Club of New South Wales in 1912 by Charles MacLurcan, and the eventual amalgamation of both the Melbourne and Sydney bodies into a National Association, paved the way for the fine successes of Australian skaters of today.

A stir has been caused in ice hockey circles in Sydney by the refusal of the executive committee of the New South Wales Ice Hockey Association to grant a playing permit for this season, to Jim Brown, the International player. No reason has been given his club — St. George — for the committee's action, and officials are reticent on the subject. Brown was censured last season, following the publication of an interview. He did not play during the last few matches. Recently, St. George Club forwarded four names as applicants for permits. The association has accepted three, but declined to grant one to Brown. Mr. H. Waddell Hoban (president of the association) said yesterday that the matter was purely an association one, and he had no power to comment upon the situation. "It is a great pity that such a position should have arisen," he said, "but it is entirely an internal affair. The rules say that the committee's decisions are final. It is also a pity that things have been said that may tend to widen the breach. I have nothing against Brown, but if the game is to be carried on it must be done so in a proper way." The hon. secretary (Mr. McCabe) refused to comment. Players are of the opinion that the withdrawal of Brown from the sport is a serious handicap. He is acknowledged to be the outstanding exponent in Sydney. He has been playing senior ice hockey for the last 12 years, and has the distinction of being the only Australian to represent Great Britain, England, and Scotland in games in the United Kingdom against American and Canadian teams. He has been captain of the New South Wales teams on four occasions, and of St. George Club for seven years. Team mates give him credit for much of the present high standard of the game, due to his efforts and experiences. It is understood that the St. George Club will press for his readmittance at the meeting of the association on Monday night. Brown yesterday expressed his desire to play. "I would be delighted to come back into the game and continue to endeavour to give the players the benefit of my experiences overseas," he said. [428] Referee, Sydney, Wed 27 July 1910 p 16.

[449] The Naples Daily News, USA, 21 Nov 1971, Page 96. Transcript: You've doubtless heard of Sonja Henie, the queen of the silver blades who became a Hollywood movie idol and wound up a millionaire. But if you are the average American, you probably never heard of Cliff Thaell + Sonja's skating partner before she turned pro. Thaell, who ranks today with the great figure skaters of all time, lives in Naples in semi-retirement during the winter months, but as soon as the last frost ceases to nip the fields and streams in the north country, he is on skates again. At Lake Placid in New York, where the Thaells maintain a summer home, Clifford pretty nearly skates the clock around with pupils of all ages, from 22 months to 74 years Thaell has skated the world around six consecutive times and while skating is no longer a financial necessity, it is still the in thing for him. With his wife, the former Edwina Blades of skating fame, the Thaells live on Sheepshead Drive in Royal Harbor where he is president of the Royal Harbor Civic Association. Cliff is also very active in local Coast Guard Auxiliary work. Why did this figure skating couple choose Naples for a winter home? Let Cliff tell you why. "Frankly, we were tired of the snow and cold and besides we had honeymooned in Florida and Naples seemed just the right spot for us. The name Naples' even appealed to us. This will be our fifth winter here." Thaell, who has skated with many of the "greats, both amateurs and pros" is too cautious to name the figure whom he considers the greatest skater of all time. Sonja was the best in her time without a doubt a per- mistake but there are constantly changing elements to contend with today such as nationalities and judges, he added. "Peggy Fleming is another great skater and we musn't forget Dick Button, either. But, there is a little Dutch girl called, Sjouke Dykstra who is making things hum and who should be watched. " Ice hockey is currently so popular that it will soon rank alongside of football and baseball as the great American sport, he believes. "It may be sooner than you think that Florida will be represented in the Stanley Cup playoffs, " he noted. "It has been realiably reported that Fort Myers has been successful in obtaining a franchise. The rink will be next to the YMCA building there. It would have been great for Naples to have gotten a franchise but I turned thumbs down on the project because I felt the city is not large enough at the present time. A franchise requires a great deal of financial backing." With the nostalgic kick very much in fashion, it should be noted that Thaell was one of the featured skaters in the popular lce Capades which toured the country during the 40s. Thaell learned to skate while practically a toddler in Manchester, England, the ice capital of the world at that time. It was there that he was Sonja's partner and also where he met his wife, an exceptional figure skater by the unlikely name of Edwina Blades. At the end of World War II, Thaell found himself just out of the Army in Palestine, with a wife and a baby. "With only $300 between us, we came to America," he said. "I had to skate for money then and while I skate mostly for pleasure today, it is practically my entire life.... [450] Hello America! All star European Ice Revue, program, presented by Arthur M. Wirth, Baltimore, Maryland, USA, 1939-40. Online. Official souvenir program entitled "Hello America!" featuring the All Star European Ice Revue presented by Arthur M. Wirtz and appearing at the Iceland skating rink at Carlin's Park in Baltimore, Maryland. Assembled by Chicago sports promoter and real estate owner Wirtz despite World War II breaking out in Europe, the Revue features a cast of prominent figure skaters from Britain, Europe, South Africa, and the United States. Among the performers are Armand Perren + Hanny Egli, Audrey Peppe, Pamela Prior, Edwina Blades, Rona & Cliff Thaells, Fritz Dietl, Buster Grace and the three Bruises, and Ruth English + Bruce Pitts. The three Bruises, Jeoffery Stevens, Sidney Spalding, and Monty Stott, are skilled freestyle skaters and former amateur hockey players from London who specialize in slapstick routines on ice and are thought to be among the funniest comics to ever appear on skates. Carlin's Park (also known as Carlin's Amusement Park and Carlin's Liberty Heights Park) was a popular entertainment center in northwest Baltimore that featured a children's playground, a dance pavilion, a roller rink, the ice rink, an Olympic-size swimming pool, grounds for picnicking and biking, and the games and rides found in most amusement park.

Stafford, professional of the Rye, N. Y., Figure Skating Club; and Miss Lois Thomson, of London, England, a pupil of Kaspar. The new Hershey pro captured the world championship in Berlin in 1937 and repeated in his native Vienna in 1938. He first achieved prominence in the 1936 Olympic games when he finished a "close third." He also won two European titles prior to becoming world champion. He is the originator of the modern jumping technique in figure skating. [457] Lebanon Daily News, Pennsylvania, USA, 19 July 1960, p 28. FIGURE SKATING WORLD It's January in July at the Hershey Sports Arena these days as figure skaters from all over the eastern United States do their loops and jumps. This is the annual summer skating school. While most youngsters are out swimming and playing tennis in the hot sun, these young skaters put in long hours on the ice, perfecting their skill on the blades. This is the kind of dedication that develops champions. * * * The summer skating school is sponsored by the Hershey Figure Skating Club under sanction of the United States Figure Skating Association. It is directed by Felix Kaspar, the Hershey club's pro. Assisting him is Miss Lois Thomson, former Australian champion, also pro with the Hershey club; Harry Stafford, pro of the Garden State Skating Club; and Miss Betty Hiscock, professional of the Cleveland Figure Skating Club. This 'is quite a faculty, representing some of the top teaching talent in figure skating. [458] Lebanon Daily News, Pennsylvania, USA, 14 April 1959, p 11. The Hershey carnival, one of the few remaining big amateur ice shows staged in the nation, will present nearly 275 members of the club in an exciting production. It is being directed by the club's skating professional, Felix Kaspar, former twice world figure skating champion. Kaspar and his assistant, Miss Lois Thomson, former national champion of Australia, will skate exhibition numbers for the first time in the United States as part of the carnival program. The show has been sanctioned by the United States Figure Skating Association. [459] Lebanon Daily News, Pennsylvania, USA, 11 April 1959, p 24. Aussie Champion To Appear At Hershey Miss Lois Thomson, twice national figure skating champion of Australia, will skate her first exhibition in the United States when she takes part in the 25th annual ice carnival of the Hershey Figure Skating Club. The show, "Winter Dream," vill be presented in the Hershey Sports Arena Friday night, April 7th, and Saturday afternoon, April 18th. Miss Thomson, now assistant skating professional at Hershey, will share the spotlight with some of the top skaters in the world. They will perform along with nearly 275 junior and senior members of the Hershey club. The show has been sanctioned by the United States Figure Skating Association. The pretty young skater she will be 21 next month started skating in Sydney, Australia, at the age of nine. At eleven she became a pupil of Felix Kaspar, twice world figure skating champion and now professional at Hershey. She was only seventeen when she won both the Victoria (State) crown, and the national championship. She repeated in both competitions the following year then left for Canada and Europe. Her skill on skates has been greatly aided by her considerable future. Off the ice she likes to relax by listening to hi-fi music. Back home in Australia she loved to ride horses but a full schedule teaching figure skating today gives her little time for this recreation. Her pleasing personality makes her a great favorite with members of the Hershey Figure Skating Club, both young and old. Other standout skaters who will take part in the Hershey ice carnival include Felix Kaspar; David Jenkins, men's world champion; Barbara Wagner and Bob Paul, world's pair champion, and Stephanie Westerfeld, national junior ladies ruunerup.

"Pat Gregory: skating out of the limelight to a new career" article by Bunty Turner. Transcript: Pat Gregory, Australia's wonder woman on ice, has just retired at the age of 51. "When I was 19, I gave myself till 28," she told The Weekly. "But when I was 28 I was in Chicago, in the biggest all-star show in the United States. Then I decided to retire when Hal, who is out front every night, felt I wasn't looking good." Hal is Pat's husband, mentor and manager, Hal Downey. For 30 years, since they married in 1950, he has been at her side. He thinks she's great, looking terrific and skating better than ever. "But whatever Pat decides," he says, "is fine by me." At the age of 12, after a bout of pneumonia, Pat's doctor recommended ice-skating. In 1947, she became the first Australian girl to win the International Gold Medal, the world's highest ice-skating award. At her London debut in 1949, she was hailed as "the Australian Sonja Henie" (the film star skater). "I'm lucky. I never had to go in the (chorus) line," says Pat. "From the moment I went out on to the ice in England, someone told some- one who told somebody else and I was offered first solo spots, then good billing and finally top billing above the title!" In her dressing room at South Sydney Junior Leagues Club, Pat's huge scrap book, lovingly kept by Hal, is evidence of her brilliant career. Clip- pings remind her of days when Elvis Presley toasted her in champagne, when she was photographed with three young kids called the Bee Gees, when royalty and cabi- net ministers and movie stars called backstage to offer con- gratulations. Other clippings celebrate shows which would be too ex- travagant to mount today. And there's Pat's favourite picture, a mother and child study to mark the birth of Tracey-Lee, now an attrac- tive 17-year-old. "Everyone says 'I bet you skate'," says Tracey-Lee, who sings well, plays cello and piano and doesn't skate. "Mum doesn't push me into anything." Since 1972, with their $20,000 portable rink, Pat and Hal have taken their ice shows around Australasia. "1980 Was a very good year," says Pat, who will now apply for amateur status, judge competitions and coach promising youngsters. "I was chosen for 'This Is Your Life' - the first time it had ever taken place on ice, anywhere in the world. It was a marvellous farewell. "Now, after 31 years in showbusiness, it is my turn to give something back to the profession which has given me such marvellous opportunities." [463] The Canberra Times, Wed 31 July 1963, p 33.

Lowe, professor of dancing, at his rooms, 45 Stephen street south, where he has recently erected a large hall at the rear of his present premises. The dimensions are about 100ft. by 42ft, and special attention has been paid to the construction of the floor and to ventilation. The floor has been laid with the greatest care, made perfectly level, and so packed with a non-conductor of sound that the roller makes no noise. The skates are of the latest American patent. The room is also well suited for dancing, but it is the intention of Mr. Lowe to devote it to the uses of a skating rink, except when occupied by his private olassos. The opening of the new rink took place yesterday evening, and was cele- brated by a private ball after the close of the skating. The fees are moderate, and skating will, no doubt, become a popular amusement. [502] The Argus, Melbourne, Monday 24 December 1900, p 6. ST. KILDA SKATING-RINK BURNT. A fire occurred early on Saturday morning in a large wooden structure situated in Canterbury road, St Kilda, which for some time past has been used as a cycling school and skating rink. The efforts of the brigade were unavailing, and the building - as mentioned in our later editions on Saturday - was totally destroyed, together with the content. The premises were owned by the Mercantile Bank Assets Company, and occupied by Mr F C P Beyer. The contents were insured in the United Australian Mutual office for £300, and the building in the new Zealand ollice for £500. Portion of the adjoining shop and contents was destroyed at the same time. The shop, a two storied brick structure, was owned by Mr F Wimpole, and occupied by Mr Gill, butcher. The contents are insured in the City Mutual office for £250, and the building in the Standard Insurance Company ot New Zealand for £600. The cause of the fire is unknown.

Roller Skating. On the 7th April, 1866, at the conclusion of the performance of "Twelfth Night" at the Theatre Royal, Mr. W. H. Fuller, "champion skater of the world," had the honour of introducing roller skating to the Australian public, under the auspices of Mr. George Coppin. A month later the Apollo Hall, adjoining the Eastern Market, was opened as a skating rink. For a while the new pastime had a vogue, but it was not until 20 years later that the roller-skating "boom" resulted in the erection of a number of quite extensive buildings for skating rinks round about the city. Some of these probably still remain, converted to other uses. [508] The Brisbane Courier, Tuesday 24 April 1888, p 5. [509] Gippsland Times, Vic, Tue 3 July 1866, p 3.

It will be convenient in this place to notice the sudden outburst of rink-skating which occurred in Victoria in 1866. No less than six patents were applied for in as many months in the colony. We are unable to say much about them, and, with one exception, can give little beyond the names of the patentees. Mr. George Selth Coppin opened the ball on the 13th of March. He was followed on the 11th of June by Mr. Leopold Burmeister, who also took out provisional protection in this country, and on the 20th of the same month Mr. Thomas Rea's application for a patent for a skate "with single line of rollers each revolving on two centres or sockets" was tiled in the office. Mr. John Frederick Droop patented a method of "guiding skates by the inclination and pressure of the foot," on the 19th of July, and Mr. William Bourne Say made an unsuccessful application for a patent on the 4th of August for a skate embodying "(1) a mode of obtaining a rocking motion; (2) facilitation of turning; (3) metal axle box; and (4) wheels made in a single piece." The inventive ingenuity of the colony was, however, not exhausted, for Mr Robert Anderson applied on the 1st of September for a patent for "an arrangement of ball-and-socket joint, by means of which curvilinear motion is secured." The patent was refused. So far as the patent lists are concerned roller-skating in Victoria went to sleep for five years and was not revived until May 9, 1871, when Mr. Horace Kimball applied for a patent, which we shall refer to later on when describing the American patents for that year. There is a statement in the Melbourne Herald of April 7th, 1866, that one Fuller, the champion skater, had been engaged to give a performance being the inauguration of roller skating in the colony. In the Herald for the 9th there is an account of the performance, and a statement that 200 pairs of skates had been shipped from America but were overdue. In May a public skating rink was opened in the city, the skates used having been furnished to the above-mentioned Mr. George Coppin, by Mr Plimpton. [511] The Argus, Melbourne, Tue 26 June 1866, p 8.

Wearing the black and gold badge of the Sydney Grammar School, and speaking with a slight American accent, Mr. Clarence Hislop, a young Australian ice-skater, returned to Sydney by the Aorangi last night with trophies won in contests against the foremost ice skaters of the world. Mr Hislop left the Sydney Grammar School in 1934, and, after a brief experience of ice skating at a Sydney rink, went to England, where he rapldly advanced to championship rating. He became a professional, he said, and competed in the British open championship, in which he was placed second. Later, he won the gold medal of the British National Skating Association, a trophy coveted by European and American champions, and held by only seven British skaters. In this event, he competed as Australia's representative. Mr. Hislop said he also competed successfully in skating contests in Germany, Switzerland, the USA and Canada. He had returned to Australia to establish himself as an instructor, and to give exhibitions at a rink to be opened in a pavilion at the Showground. Skating is rapidly approaching a stage overseas where it will be recognised as of equal importance in sport as football and baseball, said Mr. Hislop. At the end of the year, Mr. Hislop said, he would probably return to England to accept a position as manager of the skating rink at the Wembley Stadium. Mr. Hislop is now aged 23.

The annual ice carnival at the Glaciarlum last night, which was marked by a presentation of "La Fiesta," was a gay and colourful event. "La Fiesta" was inspired by the annual sports day and revelry customary to the Spanish-American countries, and was portrayed in costumes in keeping with the traditional dress of the people. The setting was the exterior of a Spanish-American church, and the national trait was exemplified by a gathering outside the church, followed by dances and evolutions representing the gaiety of the occasion. Ballets of swaying senoritas and the appearance of Indians and cowboys added to the bizarre effect. A "bull-fight" in which the "hind legs" of the "bull" caused much merriment by their efforts to keep pace with the "forelegs," was one of the pleasing interludes. Solo dances were given by Messrs. H. Braine, S. Croll, and J. Brown, and Misses Frledi Meerkamper and Mlrie Reid. Hundreds of skaters thronged the rink in fancy costume. [534] The Winnipeg Tribune, Winnipeg, Canada, 24 Feb 1940, p 19.

Mr. Hope Braine is the British professional men's skating champion;. He is a particularly fine exponent of jumping on the ice. [536] The Daily News, Perth, WA, Tuesday 5 May 1936, p 2. Transcript: World Skating First Visit To Australia 'Professional skaters have plenty of scope in London,' said Mr. Hope Braine, world professional figure skating champion, who passed through Fremantle in the Narkunda today on his way to the Glaciarium Skating Rink, in Sydney. Mr. Braine and his partner, Miss Friedi Meerkamper, who was also a passenger in the ship, will give exhibitions and teach in Sydney for about three months. 'Every ice club in London has an average of 12 professionals, six women and six men, attached to the staff,' Mr. Braine continued. 'Skating is very popular in England. Two new ice stadiums were being built when I left, ready for the next season.' Mr. Braine won his title of world professional champion at Earls' Court rink two days before he sailed for Australia. He is the first Englishman to win the title, which has been in competition for five years. He was runner-up in the championship last year. EXACTING TEST The test for the championship was a most difficult one, Mr. Braine said It consisted of set school figures, very difficult ones, and five minutes free skating, which was a most strenuous test. 'While training for the championship I started at 8.15 each morning and practised for about two hours, then worked for another hour about mid day,' he said. 'Apart from this I try to keep myself fit by neither drinking nor smoking, and making an effort to get into bed before midnight every night - rather difficult at times.' Last year's professional charnpionship was the first competition that Mr. Braine had entered. He was too nervous while still in his amateur status, he explained, but after several professional exhibitions he got over this. 'We don't seem to have very cold winters in England now, and most of the skating is done in doors,' Mr. Braine said. 'I think I have skated out of doors only about three times in my life.' Mr. Braine started skating for a hobby while he was still at school. He studied for and passed his motor engineer's degree, but about four years ago he was offered a position as instructor at the Queen's Ice Club, Bayswater, London, and has been there ever since. ICE HOCKEY POPULAR 'Ice hockey is very popular in England,' he said; 'I used to play while I was an amateur, but professionals are excluded from the game.' Mr. Braine, who is also a gold medallist of the National Skating Association, has never visited Australia before and is looking forward to his stay. He intends to travel home via America. Miss Meerkamper, who has been his partner since last September, is also a gold medallist, and was runner-up in the world professional pair skating championship.

Transcript: New Ice-Skating Company THERE has been some uncertainty of late as to the future of ice-skating in Victoria, owing to the knowledge that the Glaciarium must soon be lost to the ice-skating public. Fortunately this doubt has been removed, so far as the coming season is concerned, by the formation of a new company which has secured the lease of the Glaciarium for the winter months. The secretary of the new company is Mr. Leonard R. Molloy, who has for some years now been actively interested in ice-skating on the managerial side. The directors are Dr. Cyril Macgillicuddy, and Messrs. Hector Kendall, I. G. Beaver, F, G. Turner, H. W. Allen and A. G. Outhwaite. Mr. L. R. Molloy will, manage the Glaciarlum as usual during the coming season, when that popular rendezvous will be run on precisely the same lines as in the past. Ultimately the company proposes to establish, a new ice-skating rink on some central site, upon which a building will be erected suitable for ice-skating requirements in the winter, and dancing, concerts or pictures in the summer. Among engagements for the season is that of Professor and Miss Pfitzner, continental, champions, from St. Moritz, who will give ice-skating displays, and also demonstrations of the higher forms of skating.

From this time onward the art of ice-skating will have to be added to the now almost complete list of world's sports in which Australians are likely to achieve distinction. As the result of long years of practice, and after conferences between the best exponents in the world, the International Skating Union in 1896 established a rigid series of tests in what are known as the school figures, mastery of which entitles the executant to possession of a bronze, silver, or gold medal, according as he or she can pass the third, second, and first class satisfactorily. It is only some four or five years since Australians have had the advantage of learning this most difficult of arts, but the artificial ice-rinks first established as a monetary speculation are rapidly becoming a school of skating more in the nature of a club. In this short time Victorians have shown their adaptability to any form of acclimatised sport by the attainment of an extraordinary proficiency at ice-skating. Three men in Dunbar Poole, Ramsey Salmon, and Langley, the last named now the professor at the Melbourne Glaciarium, are devoting all their time to the art, and have already earned distinction upon English and Continental rinks, Poole and Salmon, going abroad every winter for further study under the best exponents. At the insistence of the Victorian amateurs a National Ice-skating Association of Australia was formed this year, with a view to the establishment of properly constituted class tests, and future affiliation with the International Union. Bronze medal tests have just been concluded, and six men succeeded in passing the test, though the compulsory figures set were over-ambitious, including, as they did, "loops" and "double threes," which are elsewhere reserved for the second-class tests. Nothing is to be gained by going beyond the difficulty of the established tests, nor is such a practice likely to pave the way to affiliation with the International Union. In addition to the bronze medal competitions, championship tests were held consisting of a series set school figures and three minutes of free skating, also the waltzing and pair-edge events of other years were continued. To comment generally upon the form displayed, both in the school figures and in the free skating programmes, the outstanding feature was the want of style rather than the want of ability to trace more or less correctly the figure on the ice. Want of freedom and lack of proper carriage and poise are chiefly responsible for cramped figures. All through the figures were skated too small, and without sufficient pace, the "abandon" of the true Continental style was conspicuous by its absence. To put it in a word, the style was a compromise between the English or "poker" 'school, as it is familiarly known, and something which is far from reaching the most modest Continental style. It is naturally difficult for a skater to pick up the Continental method unless he has seen first class exponents at work in it, and, worse still, the text books so far published do not help him much, they all stop far short of the real thing, chiefly because the men who have mastered the art do not care to give away the secrets it has taken them years of work to gain. As evidence of this, since the world's championship was instituted in 1896 only four names appear as winners; U. Salchow the present champion, has won 10 times in the last 11 years. Again Australians prefer to do their work in the most unassuming fashion, anything else they regard as "side" but it is to be remembered that what may appear to the uninitiated as "flash" work is in skating an essential part of proper execution. To command pace, without which big figures are impossible, the bending and straightening of the skating leg, play an important but still secondary influence to that of the position of the disengaged leg and the shoulders. While some attempt was mode by competitors to utilise the flexed skating knee, the carriage of the disengaged leg and foot was comparatively neglected the knee, even on the outside back edge, was never turned sufficiently outward, the heel was carried too low, and the toe not pointed sufficiently downward to the ice. Such a position, however, is impossible to attain with ease, unless the shoulders, and body be in their right place. In this regard it may be said at once that the tendency is to skate with the shoulders far too square the axis of the shoulders being invariably too far removed from the line of direction, the leading shoulder not far enough advanced, the back shoulder always too far in front. Again, the position of the arms, which play so important a part in balance and poise, were in the majority of cases made little or no use of. In the plain sights it was also noticeable that the timing with the disengaged leg had not been scientifically studied to make it work to the best advantage with the turning of the shoulders - a difficult matter on an outside edge, but twice as hard to master and control on an inside edge. In the figures containing turns attention might well be devoted to getting the body into correct position for the resulting edge after the turn has been made, instead of trusting to swing and sometimes a pronounced kick to gain the end in view. Another propounced general fault is the tendency to look downward at the ice instead of to the horizon. The free skating programmes submitted could hardly be called free skating, except in two instances combinations of simple school figures are not free skating. Notable exceptions were Miss Williams's exhibition in the ladies' Championship, and those of K. Field and J. Goodall in the men's event, though the latter depended far too much on minute variations of dance and toe steps, which cannot but break the continuity of a programme. Different principles govern the judging of the compulsory figures and the free skating programme. In the latter, difficulty and variety on the one hand and harmonious composition, balance, swing, pace, and carriage on the other are all important, against correct tracing, carriage, size of figures and their equality. H. Reid, the winner of the men's championship, was placed well ahead for the compulsory figures. He had more pace, and kept his work bigger than any of the others, at the same time his carriage, especially on his forward edges; was not sufficiently oblique. In his free programme he did not give nearly as attractive a performance as either J. Goodall or K. Field. Goodall's free work has already been referred to, and in the execution of his compulsory figures he showed much more freedom, if not the same accuracy, as his opponents. Field is another skater who promises well. He certainly gave the best put together free programme, but his set work was marred to a certain extent by a bent hip a fault he should easily overcome with care. Miss M. Reid, who carried off the ladies' championship, like her brother had her school figures to thank for her victory. Though skated small, her tracing was accurate, and she did not suffer from nervousness to anything like the same extent as the other competitors; her free programme was really only a combination of school figures, and lacked individuality. It fell to Miss Williams to contribute the best free programme amongst both the ladies and the men. It was full of variety, and all continuously from first to last, and was skated with a refreshing freedom. Miss Winter has an attractive style the result of a good deal of work under good masters at Princes, and Miss Moore and Miss N. Madden are sure to do well in succeeding seasons. For a grace of carriage and distinction that are quite her own, Miss Neave, who is just it. The beginning of her career showed wonderful promise. Under Professor Langley she has devoted her attention to correct carriage and position, and in these respects she is an admirable example to every skater on the rink. Next season she will reap the benefit of having spent so much time in the self-denying work of mastering first principles in their order of difficulty. The pair-edge competition was one of the most attractive events. L. Reid and Miss Neave won handsomely from H. Reid and Miss R. Moore. Miss Neave's display, especially on the back edges, left little to be desired, and more than counterbalanced H. Reid's slight superiority over his brother. On her forward edges Miss Moore's work was capital, and what few points she lost were in a lack of boldness on the back edges. Of the rest of the field Miss Winter deserves special mention, for excellent work, while Miss de Grut too showed capital style, her back edges being taken with the greatest confidence. Both these ladies needed to be better partnered to do themselves justice. In the waltzing competitions the form was distinctly good all round, and in one or two instances, excellent. Apart from faults of technique, the chief complaint must be as to position and grace of carriage many of the men kept their partners at almost arms length, as if afraid that their skates might catch. Without exception, if one may say so with propriety, the fault lay entirely with the men. Even with the winning pair in the Victorian championship, C. Macgillicuddy and Miss R. Moore, the former is inclined to err in this direction. Their rhythm as a pair, and the command of a fine flowing edge, did much to help them to victory, and to neutralise a too free use of the disengaged leg, and a too constantly bent skating knee by Macgillicuddy. Miss Moore's waltzing is equal to the best seen on English and Continental rinks, and it is remarkable that neither she nor her partner have had any professional tuition. L. Reid and Miss Neave ran the winners very close, indeed, and the same appreciation, applies to Miss Neaves's waltzing as to Miss Moore's. It only remains to add a few words upon the system of judging. There is a recognised form of awarding points and three independent judges at work at the same time, and a subsequent averaging of marks ensures a maximum of fairness, though even then it is advisable that all three judges should work upon the same system. That is to say, all should mark high or mark low in competitive events - the former being, perhaps, the most satisfactory. For the "class" tests the International Union system provides the ideal scheme. Once over, however, the general results of the judging should, in the interests of the sport, be made available to competitors. It is not suggested that the judges' scoring-sheets should be open to inspection, but the competitor who wishes to improve must first find out his faults, and where, in the opinion of the judges, he failed all these facts he should be allowed to ascertain from an authoritative source, otherwise the educational value of the elaborate system of judging is lost. However, in this the first season of its existence, the Australian Association has done well, and if it remains in the same competent, hands, ice-skating will be assured of the prominence due to it as a welcome addition to amateur winter sport in Australia.

"Pom-Pom" is not subject to criticism, it is only subject to praise, and a vote of thanks is due Mr. Savage for sending here such an entertaining production. Mitzi, pretty, dainty and chic, is just full of pep, laughter and music, and, as she is much on the stage, there are many opportunities to enjoy her work. There are a trio of comedians Charles McNaughton as Policeman No. 13 and Thomas Walsh and Ben Hastings, burglars. There are some splendid singers, including Hattye Fox, Boyd Marshall and Margaret Jarmau, and there are an abundance of song numbers. Louise Larson and Robert Jackson are the premier dancers and excellent ones. Tuneful songs are intermingled with pretty dances; comedy runs a rapid race with burglarious thrills; unique features, such as the dance of the Apaches, the blind men's dance, the one legged dance, are piled one on top of the other in gratifying profusion. And always there is Mitzi tripping in and out with her laughing smile and bewitching laugh; and she can sing, her yodling song being a real gem."

Transcript: AUSTRALIANS WHO HAVE WON SUCCESS Professor Jackson and Miss Louis Larsen, Now at the Glaciarium Birds of the ice they seem, indeed, as they skim and swoop and sway on the Glaciarium ice in their rapid, easy flight, which is yet a maze of intricate movements - these two experts who have just returned to Australia, Miss Louise Larsen and Professor R. Jackson. They come back with all kinds of laurels, for they have been the skating doyens of America in the three years they have been away. They certainly have acquired, or rather have invented, something distinctly new in the way of exhibition skating. There has been little for them to copy, for they have led the van in the U.S.A. skating world. Yet they are just as unassuming and unaffected as when they left Melbourne to move among many world-famous people for they taught the great Charlie Chaplin to skate, also Mae Marsh, another picture play star. Douglas Fairbanks, too, has been on their visiting list, and the lovable Bill Hart. He is not handsome, they say, but is the biggest favorite among fellow-workers, and a universal favorite everywhere. It is a most interesting experience to get Miss Larsen or Mr. Jackson chatting. They have seen so much, and, what is more, assimilated it, too. In their travels they have seen no ice rink to beat the Glaciarium, except one in South Africa, which, however, was so large and luxurious that it was too costly altogether to maintain, and had to he sold. There are no rinks in America better than this," Professor Jackson assures us, "nor are they larger. The one exclusive rink in New York is more ornamental, about half the size and beautifully decorated, but it somehow lacks the little comforts and conveniences we find here. The ice is glassed in, and the people sit enjoying their afternoon tea in a warmed atmosphere and watch the skating through the glass. The seasons are about the same as here. None of the rinks keep open all the year round, except the hotel private rinks. The leading fashionable hotels each maintain their own rinks. The Biltmore, a beautiful hotel, has its rink on the roof, thirteen stories up, which is not high as hotels go in America. This is a, perfect hotel in every way, and most luxuriously and artistically finished. The rink is glassed in and all around it is the dining-room, where people dine and watch the skating at the same time. They have to be amused while they eat there." "Yes, and take part in amusement, too," Miss Larsen adds. "They will eat a little, then go and skate a bit, then eat a little more and go to another room and dance, and keep it up alternately. Naturally, a luncheon at this rate takes hours. Three hours easily is often spent and they seem to thrive on it, too." "You do not see such skilful skaters among the Americans as the Australians," the Professor says, watching a gracefully gyrating couple. "They can skate easily and gracefully, but you do not see them doing the fancy movements and dancing skilfully as they do on this rink. "We did not see any startling skating experts, except a troupe of German skaters at the Hippodrome. This is a huge theatre, with a stage all in the centre, so large that I can give you no idea of it. These Germans were the celebrated company from the great rink in Berlin and, when that was closed, upon the outbreak of war, they went to America. The whole stage of the Hippodrome was flooded and frozen and they gave their celebrated pageant there. It was magnificent. They were Germans, and we did not want to admire them, but we could not help it, for their skating was superb. "Yes, we heard and saw many things to ruffle us, both before and after the Americans were in the war, and used often to get into trouble when we expressed our opinions. "At Chicago, before the Americans were in it, at the picture theatres, when they showed British, Canadian or any of the Allied troops on the screen, they were hissed, while the Germans were cheered. "Since the armistice we have often been ruffled by Americans, because 'They won the war,' you know. "But you could not help admiring them when they were in the war - what they did and how they did it. The wonderful things they turned out and accomplished. They are so enterprising. They will say, 'I don't know how it is going, but we will try it.' That is characteristic in everything, and it is how they succeed so often." They have done some very wonderful things in surgery since the war. One boy we knew had his hand and forearm blown off by an explosion in camp. They picked the hand up and fixed it on again, the surgeon saying, 'I don't know how it is going to act, but we will give it a chance.' The sinews and muscles knitted, the flesh healed, and that boy has a hand and arm he can do anything with; the only thing that it is a couple of inches shorter than the other, and seems to have two wrists", for it bends midway between the wrist and elbow. Then another man had a length of sheep bone inserted into his leg to replace a piece that had been shot away, and it knitted to the natural bone so that he has a leg as good as ever. They will not sacrifice a limb except as the very last resource." Miss Larsen and Mr. Jackson have given exhibitions everywhere in America and for some time were in San Francisco, where they came in contact with the picture colony. It was here they met all the picture-play artists. Charlie Chaplin they describe as a very nice little fellow, quite unassuming. He could not even manage roller skates when he had the picture done and, when they were teaching him ice skating, he used to convulse them by showing them all the falls he managed for the film. Professor Jackson and Miss Larsen won social as well as professional success in America. Both are Australians of the educated, refined type, who would enhance the credit of their country anywhere. They had some interesting experiences as camp entertainers with a company organised by Miss Muriel Window. "The camps in America were huge," Professor Jackson explains, "and accommodated many thousands of men. Each had its own theatre hall, almost as large as the ice part of this rink. Miss Window was the first to organise a company to give up their whole time to entertaining the soldiers, and made a big sacrifice in doing so. We did, also, for the matter of that, and the other members, too: but we were all glad to do it. We lived in camp and gave an entertainment each night. It was a wonderful experience." "Have you been skating all the time?" "No, we have done theatrical work also and, just, before wo left, we were appearing in a musical play with Mitzi. She is wonderful only about as high as that," indicating a height between four and five feet, "but such an artist." Professor Jackson and Miss Larsen then gave a practice display, their first since they left America. They described themselves as feeling stiff and awkward, as well as tired. "We cannot do it at all as we would like to-day, for my legs seem to bend under me," Miss Larsen explains, "That is how I felt, too," her partner supplements. But their skating has been superb and sensational, although they are not satisfied, while there is one movement in which Professor Jackson swings Miss Larsen in a kind of dance figure that is startling. "That is where I get bumped sometimes," she explains laughingly when she has somewhat regained her breath. "And what do you say then, let your partner know it." "Oh, I am too breathless to say anything, so he escapes scot free, while, if he lets me down, he falls on top of me, and that finishes me utterly. Sometimes it is a quarter of an hour before I recover completely", but the air with which it is said and the glance she gives her partner show she takes all in good part. This was before they opened professionally on Saturday, when their exhibition created something of a sensation and aroused marked enthusiasm. They will give further exhibitions of their skill next Saturday afternoon and evening. [564] The Singapore Free Press and Mercantile Advertiser, 14 February 1936, p 5.

Aussie skater shines AUSTRALIA offers - as much opportunity for ice skating as do Switzerland, Scandinavia, or any part of the world where snow and ice are naturally plentiful. So says Reg Park, young Australian figure skater whose performance is an outstanding feature of the "Spice and Ice" show. Mr. Park, a native of Sandringham, Victoria, won the Australian and Victorian figure skating championships in 1949, having learned the art at the St. Moritz rink. Then he went abroad, turned professional, and in 1953 won the open professional championship in Britain. He has appeared in pantomime on ice, in television ice shows, and, in Paris, with a circus-and-ice production. "Modern entertainment seems inevitably headed to ward a blending with ice," he says. "Australia has plenty of rink talent -the rinks here are open the year round, but in Switzerland, for example, outdoor rinks are available for only three or four months each year. "We have the capacity to produce ice-athletes of Olympic, and of any other standard. But we lack the fully-equipped professional coaches and the invaluable stimulus of overseas competition."
