 One of the very enjoyable sleighing parties of the season, was the affair of Wednesday night given by the members of the vested choir of the East Pearl Street M. E. church. The party went Tn two big sleighs, and started from the home of Miss Belle Slater, in Chambers street. Each member had the privilege or inviting one friend. The party drove first to Montowese, where a fine supper was served by the Ladies of the Baptist church. After supper the sleighs were again loaded. and the start was made for North Haven. Then the drive continued to Centerville, and back to the city via State street, the party arriving back in Fair Haven about midnight. It was perfect night tofa sleigh ride, and all enjoyed the af- Ialf very much. The arrangements were made by Harold Mix and Frank Chapman, Those who went included the following: Harold Mix, Miss Edna MlX, Mrand Mrs Frank Chapman, Miss Belle Slater, MT. and Mrs. E. F. John son. Miss Bertha Huntington, Ernest A. Chlpp, Miss Jessie Huntington, Er- nest nest A. Chipp,, Miss Jessie Huntington, Miss Mabel Hurd, Wesley Arbuckle, Mrand Mrs. George Mallory, Miss Edith Lennon, MT. Broadbent, Miss Daisy Len non, George Denison, Miss Mabel Dad nun, Miss Elsie Dill, Mir. Salz, Miss LiI- Ian Ian HoWlett, Miss Lotta Winan and Ernest Cooper.
 Many Fair Haven horsemen regret that the Clinton avenue speedway had not been opened up for the speeding of horses during the long spell of that sport. For many living here the Goffe street course is too far away, especial ly when the horsemen have but a little tlmeto spend in speeding It was stat el last evening by some of the horse men that if B, s. Bradley, the manager of the local track, had gone ahead and liked up the roadway he would have been backed up. Not only would the local speedway have accommodated many horse owners over here but many would have driven over every day from other parts of the city, and at the same time, the sport would have afforded en- tertainment for hundreds of spectators. Asked las night why he had not moved in the matter, Manager Bradley said. It is now over three weeks since the big snow, and if had known that the snow would have lasted as long as 1t has, l would have gone ahead and put the speedway in fine condition. But with prospect of but brief sleghing I did not feel like going ahead alone for It would have required quite an out lay. At it has turned out here in Fair Haven, just as well as not, Goffe street is too far away for many over here who have but little time to spare am sorry now l did not fix up the track, and should have gone ahead any, way ifthere had been proper encourage ment."
 It was stated last evening that it only needed some one to go ahead and smooth down the roadway of the speed way, and any expense that Manager Bradley would have been put to, it was believed, would have been made up to longest periods of fine sleighing in many years has been lost to many To- cal horsemen, so far as the use of the speedway is concerned.
 The mercury ran down below. zero again yesterday morning. This is the eighth timethat mark below zero has been noted in Fair Haven during the present winter.
