time. Cold will moderate on and about the

result. Another dash of cold from the
northwest will follow these storms. From

marked storm periods ofthe month. Heavy
rain, wind, hail and thunder will visit many
parts of the south. turning to Billiards in
the north, with terrific gales about the lakes
and North Atlantic. The general cold fol
lowing the storms will end in warmer more
disturbances about the 18th and 10Th. The
9th will bring low barometer, change to
warmer and renewal of every active distur-
Dances. Cold wave and freezing will come
behind the storms. November ends in re-
dictionary storm period.

tempt was given the word to so. A

around the track. The intelligent ami

THE novel performance was received
with a burst of enthusiasm as the lit
tie mare few past the grand stand at
