sLEiGHING ON THE BLooAINGDALE ROAD--THE CEN-

last Saturday February determined upon attempting
an old fashioned snow storm, and alter sundry reapses
INTO hail and ran succeeded in covering the ground
the depth Of three four inches-aot q tremendous
achievement, certainly, but one upon which February
felicitated herself, and which She blew her
pet bravey all day yesterday All New York, with the
exception Of those few old foges who have
damp feet and bad walking and prefer comfort SPORT
hailed with delight the coming of the enow, the pro-
mise Of the first good sleghing which have for
weeks; and yesterday all New York went out " ride and
