    • Heins' First Skating Rink Better Than The "57"

      (By J. P. Jaffray)

      With his skating rink equipped ot only with a fine sheet of ice but also with a neat coffee room Peter J. Heins was for several winters the town's chief amusement caterer in the early seventies. The old Drill Shed on the corner of King End Water streets (subsequently removed to Woodside Park) served as his rink, to which he devoted unusual attention, scarcely ever falling to for excellent ice for his patrons. The holding of carnivals was one means he adopted to make it a paying enterprise.

      Fortunately for him the town contained a lot of young fellows who revelled in that sort of thing: for days and nights planning and making costumes suitable for wild Irishmen, portly Dutchmen, the Dockyard Negro and the "Colored Gentleman." The young ladies were
      also loyal to the idea, supplying Queens, Fairies, Dancing Girls and some stage characters.

      And some of those young women, were most graceful figures on the ice, Miss Nellie Mackie, known to the present generation as Mrs. (Dr.) H. G. Lackner, was one, and Miss Bella Jackson, the Mrs. F. Hayward of today, was another. Among the married women who were skillful on the blades were Mrs. (Dr.) D. S. Bowlby and Mrs. Jacob Oberholtzer, nee Miss Vancamp.

      The young fellows put in a lot of time learning the Dutch Role. the Lockstitch, the Grapevine, the Eights, etc. It was in this rink that Charley Heins acquired the art of skating on stilts, an art that brought him in future years many engagements, as a star performer in Canada and the United States. P. J. Heins having acquired a taste for public entertaining acquired the old Cricket Ground (now Heins ave.) and ambitiously set about making of it a Heins Park that would be the talk of the country-side. It was he the phrase maker would say a "too previous" venture.
