Sleighing, as it is INDUCED in to-day,

mer years. To be sure, there is little
speeding down the center, but this
feature does not bear comparison with
the fast and furious driving which
once characterized the sleighing on the
Arsenal road and the mile ground
The racing over the snow was the at
traction then, and the people who did
not join in the lively brushes found am
pie enjoyment in watching the fun
from the side lines. Any kind of
sled on runners was good enough, and
style did not cut much of a figure, so
long as the horse was fast. While
the sport has not lost any of it's popu-
larity, those who indulge in it have
of late shown a decided inclination
for snowy turnouts, and the frequent
ers of the Brookline boulevard seem
to take as much delight in exhibiting
their nobby sleighs as they once did
in showing the pace of their sleek
