BOSTON NEWS VIA LONDON
All the railroads leading from the city
were blockaded this evening. No wheels

snow banks.

phia was reached by way of Chicago and

of the season is the receipt of a telegram
of coincidence and offerings to the citizens

Chamber of Commerce, and from st. Paul.
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS LOSS.

ROUGH ON RACING STOCK.
Black and Blue" in the Mail and Express
says this evening: mo matter what the
weather may do in the next few weeks in
the way of furnishing bright and lasting
sunshine, the harm of the past few davs
cannot be undone. so far as the race horses
are concerned. Animals that would have
been ready in April for racing will not now
be in racing trim until late in May or early
in June. This will mean. for Eastern
horse-owners, the loss of many rich stakes,
as the equine champions now in training
at Memphis, Mobile, New Orleans. Nash
vile, Lexington and other Southern points
will be quite ready for the spring meetings
of the Washington, Baltimore and Brook
lyn Jockey Clubs, while-with few excep-
tions-the horses in the vicinity will be
raw and totally unit for fast racing"

WORKING OUT OF THE DRIFTS.
New YORK, March 14th.-Steady pro-
gress toward ultimate release from the
effects of the great storm has been made
to-day. Large gangs of laborers worked
all day. Two or three lines of surface cars
began to run this afternoon, and others
will follow more rapidly. 1t must be some
days before all of the side streets, especially
in the poorer quarters, can be opened, and
the greatly-needed supplies of fuel and
provisions be in.
Fortunately the temperature has risen,
and the suffering from lack of coal will be
much lessened.
