Fast Horses and Elegant Private Teams
 on the Avenue-Narrow Escape From
 Accident.
 Whalley avenue presented the usual lively appearance yesterday afternoon. The at tendance was so large that the roadway was | crowded with horses and sleighs from Howe | street for long distance down the avenue. | The sidewalk was lined with spectators who l were attentively watching the most attractive l of the many turnouts that were present. | Notwithstanding the large attendance, which rendered fast driving extremely hazardous, there were many exciting contests for the lead. It was quite dark when the passing and requesting of teams was reduced to the usual business travel, and there were doubt less many who returned to their homes feel ing invigorated by ride in the fresh atr.
 Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Mallory were comfort ably seated in large Russian sleigh drawn
 by a valuable pair of horses. MT. G. B. Spare was driving a pretty pair of clipped
 horses. The stylish pair of horses owned by
 Joseph Peck attract ed muoh attention. MT.
 H. P. Hubbard and Mr. R. T. Merwin were
 each out with pairs attached to family sleighs.
 Many valuable private teams were present,
 and among them were noticed those of the
 Trowbridges, Dr. Crane's. Somers, Arnolds,
 and many others. MT. Samuel Cruttenden
 with two-seated sleigh was giving party
 of three gentlemen friends 8 sleigh ride be-
 hind stylish pair of horses George Beebe,
 of Birmingham, drove several times over the road behind pair of black horses. The two
 horses that are owned by Dr. 0. B. Adams
 are not matched, but they are very fast
 horse that is well worthy of mention is owned by MT. R. P. Cowles He is of good
 pedigree and is not only pleasant roadster, but can trot fast and is very reliable and
 durable and is called s'Trusty." MT. Stureis pearance on the avenue. MT. w. k. Sawyer was sending ''Sorrel Top" over the snow at Q fast gait. Charles Hinckley gave '"Toe Weight'' little exercise.
 Rev. M. Fl. Houghton drove his horse "Brimstone's several times down the avenue very fast, when the speed of the horse and the skill of the driver caused much favorable comment from the spectators. Daniel Church of West Haven was among the others with @ fast horse. John Lloyd and Julius Tyler were having close brush and were speeding SO fast near Dwight street that fearful col lision with other teams was with difficulty avoided. A broken shaft was the only casualty.
 Major H. H. Strong was out with horse that can trot fast. Dr. Lewis, T. M. Cooley, John Hatstat, H. R. Smith and Captain Ar 1 mold were among the many who were enjoy l ing the sport. Charles Audley and Frank Keenan were each out with good horses. ] Messrs. Russell, the lumber dealer, Russell, the architect, Russell, of the butter store, and Henry and David Cowell were each out en- toying the sleighing.
