IT WILL NOT BE VERY COLD.
What Jersey Citizens Think the Weather
Will BE Tomorrow.

What Jersey Citizens Think the Weather
VIII BE Tomorrow.
On. the 18th day of last March began
blizzard.
Everyone remembers it, and everyone
hopes that it will never be repeated
remembered it myself, and wondered
how actively present it was in the minds
cf Jersey Citizens.
The more | thonght of it the more in
tense became my curiosity, and at last
set forth to see few of my friends on the
subject.
AS walked along it struck me that it
would be interesting to put side by side
the conjectures of number of people
as to what kind of wea ther the annivers-
ary of that blizzard day would bring
forth, and let the readers of The JERSEY
CITY NEWS compare them.
WHAT THE PEOPLE THINK.
First saw Mr.. George B. De Revere, of
Taylor's Hotel.
"Do remember the blizzard ?i' said he.
''I should say so. That was a great week
1t will be a bright, sunshiny day this
year. No such luck as another blizzard y
1t is needless to remind the public that
Taylor's Hotel was crowded to bursting
during the blizzard with the New Jers ey
Legislature.
next saw Colonel Charles w. Fuller,
late State Superintendent of Schools.
81 remember last March, E" said he .'and
| remember this last winter. / don't
know which was the colder. We cannot
possibly have any such cold weather IN our
lives again as / found in Trenton few
weeks ago."
This was encouraging at first, but when
/ remembered what the gallant coloners
feelings must be was a little in doubt as
to the exact point on the thermometer he
expected the mercury to touch tomorrow.
Clerk to the Finance Board George r.
McAneny said nothing at all, but he
looked as If he expected it would be a
colder day than it was last year in case
the new charter should pass.
'.It was frightful last year." said Adam
G. Smith, the poet-freeholder, "but it's
pretty warm just now, and it will be O
cold day when | write another poem"
HE HAD FORGOTTEN IT.
/ hurried down to the Palma Club and
asked President Muirheid to tell me all
about it,
Last year." said he. "Did we have a
blizzard last year? Why, so we did But
the blizzard of last Monday night, when
the bowling team went to Roseville was

that other little one We can never again
see any weather SO cold as that, or if we
can we don't want to-"
l began to think that all the cold
weather had gone by, but Twas saddened
again when asked ex-Alderman Robert
Mcknight, of Lafayette, what he thought
about it.
''Blizzardr' said he. eyes, we had one
a year ago, but the cold weather that will
strike the Board of Public Works Tues
day evening when the Lafayette Citizens
Association meets will make that blizzard
seem like balmy June by contrast"
This was not encouraging, and it
seemed to me that it would be well to lay
in q supply of coal, so l went to see Mr.
John w. Schanck.
s'Blizzard?" said he, ''No such luck. If
we could have one it might keep Mr.
Slavin down in Plainfield. 1t took him
two days to get through last year, and l
guess he wouldn't start again, but there
won't be any blizzard Tomorrow will be
a fine, warm day"
II WILL BE ALL RIGHT.
/ met Con Donovan on his way home
from the Clifton race track and he looked
so pleased that asked him how it would
be with the weather.
SIT will be mighty cold for the book
makers if THE JERSEY CITY NEWS keeps
on giving such good tips as it gave on
Thursday. But it won't be cold for the
racegoers."
Then | was satisfied, for Con Donovan
