Rogers's store, and at Winterby Corners announcing that he had rented Mr. Dutcher's pond for a skating-rink, and that tickets for the same at twenty-five cents a week for each skater could be had upon application to him. Ned was not long left in doubt as to the success of his enterprise. It was popular from the start.
