HUNTING AND sLEIGH-RIDING.

The Hon. J. R. Mead was making ar
rangements yesterday to leave town at
O'Clock this morning. going south few
miles to haye pleasant interview with
the cotton tail rabbits Quite number
of others were figuring yesterday on hunt
today. The four inches of snow had an
enlIvening effect on the town, very soon
the sleighs OF various patterns including
the Yankee Jumper" were out. The
favorite WAS carriage or buggy
robbed of its wheels snapped for runners
They g,ided along very nicely and as pro-
nounced answered the purpose very well.
A number of the boys were racing on
Lawrence and Market. o. c. Daisy, while
cutting a letter on Market street in
front of the City hotel, was thrown out
and took a bite of snow. He said it re-
minded him OF the days when he was ac-
customed to eating snow at least three
times day. He claimed to have had
many races during the day and was of
course winner if the race lasted long
enough.
Last night number of gay parties were
on the fly. they took in the streets and
some times the back allevs. but it was fiy
al the same. A Quartette caned
on number OF friends and
il was not necessary TO announce that they
were having good time. A young gen.
tlemau who was accompanied by lady
friend was driving quite rapidly, and
crossing the Chisholm creek bridge on
Douglas the sleigh broke down and there
was some trouble il getting back TO north
town home His actions indicated 1t was
his first break down OF the kind. To say
be was ratified badly might be putting it a
little strong.
At O'Clock this morning o. c. Daisy
received advices from Washington that
the snow from Southern Kansas would
leave today early so he proceeded to har-
ness up another horse and insisted that he
would get all the fun possible.

STREET CAR TRAVEL.

The snow yesterday, although affording
excellent sleighing, interfered somewhat
with the street car travel, About all of
the cars were running but it was impossi-
BILE to make time. The main lines were
drawn by four mules and no great speed
WAS reached then. The electric lines did
not suffer quite so much, but all the COM
panies were handicapped more or less on
account of sickness amongst the men.

who found so much enjoyment in just
such gatherings.
A large attendance is guaranteed beyond
peradventure and the Carey will be crowd
ed to its utmost capacity. Two members
of the CALEDONIA society have disposed of
seventy-nine tickets. and now tickets can
only be obtained by applying to the COM
mittee.

morning of the 25th of January. one hun
dred and thirty-one years ago, and the
banquet will about be finished at the mo
ment that Scotia's favorite poet was
ushered into the world. 1t was royal
day for Scotland and tits little wonder if
her sons desire to perpetuate its memory.
The poet died in the thirty-eighuh year of
his life at Dumfries, leaving rich in
heritance to the world.
For now he haunts his native land
As an immortal youth his hand
Guides every plough;
he sits beside each ingle-nook,
His voice Is in eacn rushing brook,
Each rustling bough.
His presence haunts the room tonight,
form OF mingled mist aud light
From that far coast
Welcome beneath this roof OF mine,
elcOme, this vat ant chair Is thine,
Deai guest and Ghost"
