The exhilerating rise in the tenn
perature is divesting the snow of its
slippery properties. although there
yet remains sufficient ice to disman-
tie the equilibrium of the unwary
without the vestige Of wearisome
formalities.
Whether winter has but momentar-
lily relaxed its grip on this section of
the country is a matter of conjecture.
but at any rate the respite is being
clutched with wide open arms by the
public. This morning at a little be-
fore 9, the thermometer registered
but four degrees below the freezing
point. The snow is now easily trans
formed into snowballs. and the inn
mature males 0 city are singing the
missiles without much regard for the
bodily comfort of their lodging tar
gets. But it is a great deal better
to be hit by a SNOWFALL than to have
your own person hit the Ice.
So matters might be a great deal
worse. It is not bad thing TO count
your blessings, even though they may
be counted in a single. gasping

Much interest has been aroused by
announcement in THE EVENING
JOURNAL that a syndicate Of Will
mingtonians has bought Horse Show
Park and the ten acres of land ad-
joining to preserve for the city a
park. where horse racing, athletic
meets, the county fair and other inn
portant events may be held.
With the Horse Show Park out Of
existence Wilmington would be with
out a park suitable for racing and
general sporting purposes. and it is
the object Of the purchasers to as
sure the city a park for years to come
rather than to make any big profit
out Of their venture. OF course, if
the park land should be sold event.

benefit of an increase in the property

years.
The men who have bought the park
have been interested for many years
In the matinee trotting and pacing
races and also in the larger trotting
meets here, and some also are inter-
ested as stockholders in the County
Fair Association. They have bought
the park not for these associations,
but for themselves. and have pooled
their money to make up the purchase
price.
1t is understood that with the TAX
ing in of the ten additional acres,
making thirty-six acres in all. new
grandstands and stables eventually
will be erected. and the fair associa-
ton, which will be changed into a
state fair, will erect permanent
buildings for exhibits on part of the
tract.
II is expected that the half-mile
track will be made one of the best in
the United States. with wider
stretches in order that the largest
fields of horses may be scored. Event
ually some Of the biggest trotting

vanized iron bucket, and in some man

his guards, he succeeded in wrench

rags around the other for a handle.

when steel bars should no longer
separate him from the priest, and on
his way to his own death, he could
also kill the man whom he thought
faithless. Mr.. Osborne's action in
