 The snow storm, which came almost with the New Year was welcome vis- ftation for the young people. It gave them the first opportunity for getting out their sleds, but spoiled the skating, which had promised fine sport for New Years Many young people, perhaps fearing the skating would be spoiled, went out to the lakes on Sunday and skated for hours. l The Fair Haven and Westville Rail- road company put on relief men during a portion of Sunday and early yester- day morning, and furnished hot coffee and hot soda to those who wished it. It was pretty cold for the motormen, es- pecially on the long suburban runs. and they appreciated the hot drinks.
