VERY FINE WEATHER
Results In bringing everybody out
of doors Sunday Afternoon.
ALL THE VEHICLES IN TOWN IN USE.
Nday which leads one to Indulge tho
Dclusion that tho Winter Is over
and Gono-ThronGs 20 into tho
Country and across tho River and
tho Streets arc Crowded.

Yesterday was MS fine o day as ono
usually soes In May. Tho air was not
quite so balmy, but tho sharpness Of 1t
was not unpleasantly stimulating, es.
pecially as stimulants Of other kinds
wero scarce as usual on tho Gsst day Of
tho week commonly called tho Sabbath.
There will no doubt DO plenty OF rough
weather yet this season, but such a
day as yesterday naturally brings the
people out TO breathe tho crisp air and
feel tho warm sun.
Tho streets were thronged with podea-
TRANS yeatcrday afternoon, tho church
services were well attended throughout
tho day, and tho number OF ladies', par.
tlcularly, who woro out promenading
was noticeable. Tho spring wraps made
their appearance In goodly number.
Apparently every vehicle in tho city
was out. Those who yentured to drive
into tho country did not find 1t SO pleas.
ant as they anticipated, however. Tho
mud on tho country roads Is something
awful to contemplate and good to avoid.
A rig with two young Dellaireans in was
soon to 60 up street, and both tho cart
and the occupants wero literally covered
with mud.
The street cars to Martins Ferry and
Bellairo and into tho suburbs were we'll
~patronizod all day, and tho Elm Grove
trains carried surprisingly large crowds
out into the country. Tho work OF got
ting Wheeling park into shape has al
ready begun, and 1t bids fair to DO moro,
attractive this season than over before.
Hundreds OF people walked across
the now stone bridge yesterday. It is
nav quite the thing to cross tho big
arch. 1t Is curious TO watch the scores
OF people who walk down as far as the
bridge, stand and gaze at it, discuss 1t
In every light, and then walk away. 1t
is a very popular resort on nice days,
there being great curiosity to SEQ what
progress has been made and what re-
mains to DO done. One mar has al
ready crossed tho arch on his bicycle,
but he had to handle it with care all the
way, and Mt one place got off and pushed
it. Tho bicycles seemed to DO all on tho
20 yesterday. Many people embraced
the chance, also, to walk out and in
spect the city electric plant.
It was q health-giving air that pre-
vailed. If it would only continue my
thing Ike "a decent it would enable
building operations and other outdoor
work to be pushed as it is not often in
March.
This is the way Irl Hicks missed the
weather in his guess for March:
Mercury is at the center Of its dis
turbing period on the second. Roac-
tionary storms nre also due from that
dato to the fifth. The moons frat quar-
ter being on the sixth, and tho electric
tension being greatly increased by our
approaching vernal equinox, it will be
prudent to anticipate storms and hard,
trying weather from about the second
to the fifth. Tho period will come in
with winds shifting to southerly; rain
will appearffst, turning to heavy sleet,
and finally to anow in northern and
central states. Don't forget that Mer-
curry is our sleot god, that his power
begins five days before, and reaches five
or six days beyond the SECOND. and ex-
pect his sleoty coat Of mail to enwrap
shrubbery, and play diabolical planks
with,the wires in many parts OF the
land. A severe dash Of arctic breath
will follow. 500 if tho mercury doesn't
touch q low point, generally, but espe-
cially, Of course. to the north, between
the third and seventh.
