Description | A photograph of Messrs. Smart and Lindahl, fen skaters, presumably before their race for the Littleport Challenge cup in 1894. See http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~engcam/iceskate.htm for extracts from the Cambridge Chronicle on ice skating. The entry for 1894 reads "The race for the Littleport Challenge Cup [was] held, before no less than 3,444 spectators. In the final Hendrik Lindahl took the cup from James Smart, beating him by 20 yards" |
