March. Overcoats are rarely worn ey-
cept IN these months The pleasure of
sleigh-riding is not known, as what
snow they have rarely stays on the
ground more than few hours. Ex-
treme warm weather settles in about
the first Of May and continues until
October. The hottest period during
the day is from o'clock to - O'Clock
IN the morning.

off Quarantine Friday evening little
after nine o'clock. When the papers
had been exchanged, showing that all
were well on board, we proceeded 10

delightful trips l have ever taken.
