sLEIGHING ON THE AVENUE.

A Winter scene-LiveIy Times Tester
 day Afternoon-More Sport Expected
 To-Day.
 Many persons improved the opportunity to enjoy the good sleighing on Whalley ave- nue yesterday afternoon, but as there were not as many horses and sleighs on the drive are frequently seen there, the driving was rendered less difficult, and the horses that were going fast had good opportunity to show their speed. A few spectators were as usual on the north side of the street watching the drivers as they speeded down the avenue and returned leisurely.
 MT. N. W. Hubinger was seated in light Portland sleigh behind the 2:21 trotter Fan ny Burroughs, which he purchased last fall, and his grey horse Mollie Mitchell, which he bought recently. As he drove the pair down the avenue at a fast gait, it was appar- ent that the grey is fully as fast az her mate The pair of black horses which Mir. J. E. Hubinger drove over the snow yesterday af- ternoon attracted much attention. The pair have been worked at the track during the fall, and can trot fast.
 The.sons of Mir. Treat, the mason, drove their horses very fast.
 Among the others who were out were noc1ceQ JOSepn McDOnalQ ana h. A. Ben ham with good looking horses, John Osborn, E. M. Futile with Q young black horse. Lu- zerne Ludngton with good looking horse and sleigh, Dr. Robert Ives, Officer Picker ing, Fred Oaks. A few fine private teams were among the others.
 Late in the afternoon a gentleman was driving down the avenue as Eddie Gra- ham of the Temple street stable was turning around, when the sleigh of each collided. throwing both men to the ground. One run ner of the formers sleigh was badly broken and MT. Graham was slightly hurt. An ac- count of a mora serious accident is given elsewhere.
 Better sleighing is seldom seen on Whal- ley avenue and much larger number of people will undoubtedly enjoy it to-day.

Fred Neebe,s Find.

Frederick Neebe, the closely cropped printers devil of the CoURrER, found $5 on Chapel street in front. of Peck's bookstore yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. He was meandering down Chapel street at his usual rate of speed when his eyes fell upon the crisp $5 bill which protruded from piece of paper. His visions of multitude of new packages of cigarettes soon melted like cigar cite smoke into thin air when he beheld the names of Stahl 6 Hegel on the paper and saw that the money was evidently to pay 8 bill of $5 with. Neebe tried to telephone to Stahl & Hegel, but the wire was out of order. He then showed the bill to Jake, the com poeitor, his bosom friend and fellow conspi- rator. Jake espied the name of Shilke on the bill,-the name of the man owning the bill. Neebe plodded then down to 743 Grand avenue where Shilke lives. Nobody at home. After looking in vain on the fences and in the store window for possible new advertisement of Bunnell's or of some circus he wended his way back when he suddenly met an agftased lady carrying baby in her arms. He whisked up to her and asked her where Mr. Shilke lived. She replied with her face lighting up, "Did you find the monsyF' Neebe with his bland and child like smile said hs was her daisy and pulled out the $5 bill, which the loser seized and re turned thanks for from grateful heart, in between the shrielks of the infant who was mnxious to get home Neebe's feeling of satisfaction over the grateful mothers joy compensated him for all his trouble and he is now busy organizing . new "hawkey club.n

An InfantfIe HOwI.

Yesterday afternoon lady who was on Chapel street making purchases left her baby carriage containing little chelub" in front of Ryder's old stand, 798 Chapel street, while she stepped into neighboring store. The infant gazed longingly into the windows where choice candies and confections in end less variety were displayed. Then reaching out 8 tiny hand it attempted to clutch the tempting sweets. Frustrated by the window pane from gaining the coveted ''goodies" it began to. give play to it's well developed lungs in vigorous and continuous cries.
 Presently the mother appeared and looking for the occasion of the ttoots'' she. too, saw the attractive and inviting display in the windows. But did she also cry9 Nay, Mar cellus. She simply murmured s'Yum, yum," and then went into the store and bought two pounds of assorted candies for twenty-five

Ruled by Preiudfce.

Few persons realize how thoroughly they are controlled by prejudice even to their own disadvantage. For many years the treatment of rheumatism. neuralgia, sciatica and head ache has been by some outward application, and. therefore, without stopping to think that the origin of these troubles must, from necessity, be internal, the weary sufferer continues to rub, rub and find no relief. Athlophoros is taken internally, and as a proof that this is the correct principle, it those who have been cured ought to convince the incredulous.
 NEW HAVEN, Conn.
 have for twelve years been great suffer or from rheumatic neuralgia, subject to at- tack suddenly without warning, either day or night, destroying all hope of sleep or rest, making it almost impossible for me to walk or attend to my business and often compel ing me to remain at home day or two and suffering the most excruciating pain as every sufferer knows. Remedies are not wanting, and have tried hundreds of them faithfully, until when come to review the list, and find I am still alive I look upon myself as miracle. With the exception of Athlophor- os, not one of them, afforded me slightest benefit. Eminent physicians in this and oth- CT cities have labored faithfully and honestly to help but without affording any perma- nent relief After much persuasion and long opposition, at last decided to try Ath- lophoros, but without one particle of faith. As the result can truly say it has done me more good than all other remedies combined. The first two doses relieved the pain entire ly, and since commenced it's use some four weeks ago have had but one slight attack.

He has been confined to the house, No Al Win chester avenue, for some days by rheuma- tism, and the fifteen or twenty young ladies in his department presented themselves at the honse and presented him with an elegant gold-headed cane as token of their esteem. One of their number, Miss Mamie Flanagan, very happily oficiated as spokesman. The cane was inscribed with MT. Kirkland's name and dated "Dec. 25, 1886, for Christmas gift, but as some of the girls were going away the date of presentation was made earlier. Mir. Kirkland is father-in-law of Roundsnan Mcbride.
