The light SHOWS with the perfect
condition of the streets. have been
productive of much fine coasting the
past few days, particularly on Pros
pect street, starting on the hill near
st. Mary's church. This locality has
been confscated by the younger ele-
ment for the sport and they are in
practically undisputed possession of
it after nightfall. A few however,
who cannot seem to enjoy prosperity,
persist in taking an occasional slide

fort and perhaps danger of the pub
lie. Better let we'll enough alone,
boys, and not run the risk of being
nabbed by the police or of having the
present liberal allowance of coasting
