clear aud genial atmosphere which characteTzes this
picturesque aud healthful locality Oh what beves OF
beauties here, there and everywhere American
ladies' fond OF exciting sports; and they had all
they wanted, TO their hearts content, yesterday.
There could be nothing wanted to make the weather
agreeable the occasion Nature seemed to shed her
choicest gifts in that the seighiug should
be everything that might be desired Crowds OF
persons who could not afford the luxury OF
q sleigh rushed 10 the Park in order 10
view the display which made by those who
fortunate enough be able participate the popular
amusement. Warmly clad. these people stood at the
different points where good view might be had Of the
rious sleighing parties And the question,
who the persons who turned out yesterday, and
what was their appearance To describe them and to
note their movements Is somewhat Of arduous task.

and real enjoyment

In Broadway and Fifth avenue and indeed, throughout
the whole city, the sleigng carnival was also kept up
throughout the day with much spirit Fifth

weather keep as 1t has done for tho past two days,
there Is no doubt OF IT, People must have amusement.
Then let murmur while the seghing carnival lasts
