SAFEGUARDING IN 1850.

"a correspondent of the Akron CO.,
Argus revives some interesting bits Of
history regarding sleighing in North
ern Ohio. The great sleighing tour.
naments Of 1865 are still wildly re.
membered by our citizens. Scion,
Cuyahoga@ county, inaugurated the
"strife" by getting up party Of sev-
en- our-horse teams, and challenging
any town 70 beat them. Twinsburg
did beat them with fourteen teams.
Bedford went to Twinsburg with
thirty-{our teams. 1 Mortified then
tried it on, but fell short Of the req
;uisite number of teams to take the
banner. Brecksville then entered
the lists with afty-four teams. Roy
alton then came in with sixty.eight
teams. Then Boston went to Royal.
ton with eighty-nine teams. Rich
field then pounced down in to Boston
with one hundred and fifty-four
teams, and planted the banner on the
summit. This was on the 18th day
Of March. A few days afterward
Summit, Medina, Cuyahoga, as coun-
ties, entered into the contest, and Wis
tied Richfeld under their appropri-
ate leaders, Medina having one hun.
dred and forty, Cuyahoga one hum
dred and fifty-one, and Summit one
hundred and seventy-one four horse
teams-four hundred and sixty-two
in; all. Not satisfied with the dis
comfture, Medina was bound to try
again, and on the eighteenth day Of
March, though the sleighing was
rather thin, that county, with bands
Of music and flying banners, drove
triumphantly into Akron with one
hundred and eighty-one four:horse
teams, the most extensive sleigh:ride
from one county ever before, or since,
known in the United States. Tho

neighboring counties to "come and
take" that banner. Shall it be
