more excellent opportunity has b en-
afforded for sleighing, such as has been
enjoyed this week. The several in
ches of snow that from time to time
has fallen has covered our streets with
a mantle of whiteness, and called the
sleighers out IN numbers, whose merry
laughter, mingled with the jingle of
sleigh bells, has set the town agog
with pleasure sport that has not been
witnessed for quite awhile. On Main
street, especially, the snow has been
beaten down and nearly all day long
this has been made the principal bOu
levard, up and down which the sleighs
make their merriest scene. The fast
racing that characterized such sleigh
ing several years ago was not so much
in evidence. However there was some
who made an attempt, among which
was 'Lady Duroc," the fast trOtter of
DIR. ThOs. G.. Moore. This mare could
not find an eqnal to her match, and all
that could be done was to make an ex-
hibition of fine trOtting. There were
other horses in the field, their owners
being: Messrs. w. NJ. Lewis, Fl. B.
Grieves, Col. Morrison, Clarence Ford,
Herbert Price, Reed Lofand, L. NJ.
Price, and others who entertained
many spectators al ong the street with
some excellent heats.
To the majority of sleigher7 it was a
more pleasant diversion, together with
the novel experience of moving Cver
the crystal white snow back of a good
trotter With this class there were
large number who turned out, and be-
fore the close of Monday afternoon,
every one who possessed a sleigh were
soon mingled with the merry throng.
