Hundreds of dollars were raised in Seattle by the I. W. W. thru smokers, dances, theatrical benefits, entertainments and collections by speakers who told the story of Bloody Sunday before societies of every kind and character. The Dreamland Rink meetings, attended in every instance by thousands of people, were the means of bringing hundreds of dollars to the defense.
"If she keeps her wise little ways and her clever tongue, she'll be a great woman she has a way with her." At the rink, he had always looked forward to a skate with her it was really a dull night for him if she were not there, and now he wondered just what it was that attracted him so.
From Five Finger Rapids the traveller goes six miles below, down the Lewes, to the Rink Rapids. On going through the Rink Rapids, he continues on the Lewes River to Fort Selkirk, the trading post of Harper and Ladue, where the Pelly and Lewes, at their junction, form the headwaters of the Yukon. You are now at the head of the Yukon River, and the worst part of your trip is over.
First, I'll give you ten dollars for the rent of the pond; then I'll see that there will be no running over your fields and climbing your fences, no lighting of fire or matches about it, and no 'whooping and yelling' at nights. My rink will be open only from two to six in the afternoon and from seven to ten in the evening. During that time I shall always be at the pond to keep everything in order.

Roller-skating is said to be fine exercise, but the benefit of it as exercise would cease to be apparent if there were a separate rink for each sex.

The rink has its world as the opera has, its romances and its heroes.
Perfectly lovely! And the next time they did it, Jumbo came at him like a bull. But that adorable 'Jack' Johnson just lifted him clear off his feet and flung him against the side. It seemed to me that the whole rink shook!" Here Vic broke in: "You didn't hear what the old lady said at this point, I suppose. I was sitting next to her. She was really a whole play by herself.
Say, you don't mean to tell me there is one town in the United States that has escaped the showman?" "Yes. Gotown has, an' I'll gamble on it," said the landlord. "Stay! There must be some kind of a rink there?" "No." "No rink." "No." "A museum, then moving-pictures snap?" "No." "Has there been a circus there recently?" "Never had a circus within miles of it." Handy seemed puzzled.
I skate a lot at home; that is, when there's ice. We're dependent on that, you see, as we haven't an ice rink in Berwick." "Berwick? Small town?" "Yes. 'Bout as big as a minute," and Dotty laughed good-naturedly. "That's why you're so up to the minute, then," Geordie laughed back. "Want to sit down and rest a bit?" "All right. Let's," and they sat down for a few moments.
