A WEATHER ITEM Saturdays heavy
rain storm destroyed the sleighing and sled
ding, much to the regret of those who had
wood and lumber to haul Up to that time
the sleighng was never better or the con-
ditions more favorable for doing the winter
business, including the storing of ice for
summer use Sunday morning the streets
were icy and pedestrianism difficult and
dangerous, but the sun, which is daily
growing more powerful, soon reduced the
ice to slush. Monday was clear and cold
and reports from the ponds were that the
ice was in fine condition for ice boating. In
the afternoon, however, there was a snow
squall, and in short time between two and
three inches of damp snow fell, spelling the
ice boating and not restoring the shedding,
although runners were used for while
Tuesday morning.
