This lantern slide shows a couple hundred people of all ages skating on Massasoit Lake, which borders the International YMCA Training School (now known as Springfield College). The exact nature, whether this was a Springfield College event or a community event, of the Skating Carnival is not known at this time. The image appears to show a wider community event with women, men and children all skating on the ice. This image is used in the 1908 Massasoit.
