easy prey of their adversary. The ice being
in such poor condition it was not so much
matter of skill as it was of physical strength.
Sam Fullertons men easily took first rank
in the way of muscle and it was this e'e-

| VIII he made in the collection and de-
| livery of the mails.
Last year the schedule of collections
and deliveries was changed and a de-
| livery by the carriers was made i'm
mcdiately after the arrival of this noon
train. A second delivery was made
after 4 o'clock in the afternoon. en-
bracing as much of the city as the
carriers could cover within the eight
hour limit.
This arrangement would have been
perfectly satisfactory If the Western
and Southern mail had been received
as whole on the first train: but prac-
tically a large portion OF this failed
OF connections. and the bulk of this
most important mail Of the day was
received at go and o'clock in the
afternoon. AS n practical result. there
was not sufficient mail on the first de-
livery to warrant a wholesale delivery
Of the town, while n great deal of the
mail coming afterwards, which should
have been delivered in the afternoon
lay in the Office because the carriers
were unable to make a full second de-
livery within the time limit
Letters received dt --ou often lald Dfl-
til the next morning. and were the
cause of much complaint and annoy
anCe. After a careful consideration Of
the matter, il has been thought best
not to change the summer schedule at
present until il is seen exactly how
these mails are to connect. and what
prospect there is Of getting the bulk Of
it on the first train. As soon as these
facts are ascertained, a proper winter
schedule will be made. which will be
arranged to meet whatever is the
greatest convenience of our citizens as
a whole. This explanation is made at
this time to prevent any misunder-
standing or complaint that the post
office is not meeting the trains or Civ
ing as good n service as last winter.
When the permanent schedule for the
winter with its changes is made, due
notice Will be given through these
columns.
