sLEIGHING ON THE AVENUE.

Fast and Slow Horses on the Snow
 -More Sport Expected-0ther Horse
 Notes.
 The first sleighing of the season was much enjoyed yesterday afternoon by the many that were improving the opportunity for a sleigh ride. Probably most of those who went to Whalley avenue found the sleighing better than was expected, and the number of sleighs there was almost many as have been seen there during the afternoon sleigh ing carnivals of previous winters. Horses and sleighs were numerous from Broadway to Norton street. There were probably one thousand double and single teams on the avenue during the afternoon, and some of them came down over the snow very fast, while those who were returning were leisure ly walking their horses in a procession to the further end of the drive. A few spectators were on the sidewalk. Dr. Tibbals, the vet erinarian, and others were watching the moving throng.
 MT. and Mrs. Frederick Mallory and friends were in handsome two-seated sleigh drawn by MT. Mallory's horses.
 Mir. Milo Tuttle's sleigh with the waving plumes was much admired.
 The clipped sorrel pair and sleigh of John w. Nichols, of Branford, were one of the good teams on the avenue.
 MT. Root, of Dixwell avenue, drove a fine pair of blacks. George H. Robinson, the George street liveryman, and friend were seated behind good pair of horses. John Judd, the trainer, was exercising a pair of blacks. Morris Tyler's pair hitched to a light sleigh were faster than some of the others. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Malley passed frequently over the snow with a fine horse and valuable sleigh. MT. Adams, of J. F. Goodrich & Co.,, was out with trotters were Nell Hinckley with Tylers mare, Burr Benham with Pilot Boy. John Lloyd with his bay horse and Henry Lan- craft with Excel, whose speed is we'll known on the avenue. He was driving at about 80 gait yesterday.
 $. H. Cruttenden drove a pacing horse, and it is said that he has some fast steppers among the horses that he has lately pur- chased in one of the northern States.
 MT. E. Hayes Trowbridge was driving his handsome pair. George w. Ives was out with his horse which can trot fast. Among the many others were MT. and Mrs. Luzerne Ludington, MT. and Mrs. F. H. Russell, George N Botsford and lady, F. F. Brown, Charles Downs, Frank Bowman and many from out of the city. If the sleighing con- tinues some good horses will be seen on the avenue.
 Jacob Broschart has valuable Kentucky horse that will attract attention when he is shown. He is good saddle horse and can trot fast enough to pass some trotters on the road.
 Nicholas Hubinger has for some time owned good pacing horse that has white feet and white face and can pace fast. He has lately purchased mate for him that has similar marks and can pace faster, and is so much like the first mentioned horse that many persons cannot distinguish them when they are driven single. That horse of such peculiarities can be so closely matched in weight, height, color, speed, and gait is remarkable.
 Lauren Doolittle of Woodbridge, who for the past few years has frequently driven into the city valuable pair of horses, lost one of them by death recently. During MT. Doc little's ownership the horses have been in fine condition
