WINDS HAVE A WILD DANCE IN THE STREETS |
The winds and squalls danced through the streets |
Of NewYork yesterday, celebrating the victory which
the forces Of frost and cold had wrung from the |
helpless town. They whisted their accOmpan |

clicking OF their castane;s They hurled the snow
in curling eddes and executed Virginia reels and |
Irish jigs In Broadway and Fifth-ave They knocked
hats OF the heads of disnifed citizens and sent
whlring around in the OF their waltzes. There
were no walhowers In the guy party Of young and |
vigorous winds which tore through the streets nj |
the rate OF forty miles hour, and pranced about
unknown speed In the regions Of the upper air.
