Newspaper readers can scarcely have failed 10
observe that the entries for that miserable
travesty upon sport called walking match closed

that could be made in New-YOrk would be an
absolute blank
Winter in Europe as in America, seems to have
been more severe at the beginning and end IMAM
in the middle. The wonderful snOwstorm when mas
visited Southern England this week, Is uhpar-
alleed in that locality, not only for many mohts'
but also for MANY years The amount of precipi-
taton at temperature below the freezlng poii'''
rather than the degree of cold, is the unique
feature of this strange visitation. In view OF tie
fact that it was just three years ago to-day that

perience a memorable blizzard, it would seem as

"Tbo Rrook1yn Eagle" speaks "skarkastlc' as

would say. when it advises Mayor Chapln 10 go
forth IN meet the shodowy future. SO lar rs the
