Osr WENT GUTrEABERa WAY.

There was not as much driving yester-
day as there generally is on a clear Suu-
day. This was probably owing to the
heavy roads aud the cold. blusterin+
weather and the light SNOW squalls.
Those VINO were on the road had their
overcoats buttuned to the throat, aud had
heavy robes over their laps. There were
scarcely any women driving ab all. For
this reason Arlington and Garfield ave
nues were comparatively desc rted and
McDonald's cooks and walters at Bergen
Point had nothing to do. Those who
braved the sharp wind went TO Gutten-
berg and sought comfort in the pleasant
clubhouse ut the rack track.
AS early as. two O'clock Joe Donohue
drove to the track. At about the same
time Freeholler Kimnerly passed
through Hoboken ut Il lively rate and
struck the Boulevard. when he gave his
trotter it's head. Charlie Mum of Bay
onne was next noticed, He had Il tetni
of sorrels anu Chnrlie Reppenhagen OF
Port Richmond, =. l.. was with him.

There were Others who exercised their
horses Yesterday between this city aud
Gutenberg, but the humber were few
who went to New York and Brooklyn.
AT the track there were several CtutS
ilround the ourse and a pleasant day
was passed by some in Watching them,
talking horse and ~partakin. of refresh
menls. That driving will be a feature in
this county when the new boulevard Is
constructed is not doubted, and
hundreds of people who do
not keep horses now but
would like TO will do SO then, for if the
Freeholders do what they say they will,
the new. boulevard will be as good a place
10 speed horses as Seventh avenue, New
York, and in addition t. that it will pass
over one of the grandest views magma
BILE. Horsemen predict that then the
present condition of things will be greatly
changed aud instead of Jersey men going
to New York to find a pleasant drive,
New Workers will come here and enjoy
the Boulevard.
