Carnivals Formerly Frequent.

In Years gone by. when snow was more
frequent in Washington. Pennsylvania
avenue was often the scene of impromptu u
sieighinS cdrnivals. III those days there
was much rivalry between the owners OF
sieighs and as a result scores of hand
some outfits were to be seen. The sport
has died out during recent years, how
ever, and most of the sleighs that are
now seen are of the vintage of by-gone
days.
The weather man last night promised
a, continuation of conditions that will
make sleighing possible for approXi-
rpately another forty-eight hours. The
forecast was fair Sunday and Monday
with continuing cold and moderate
northwest winds.
At IL o'clock last night the mercury
stood at - degrees above zero. This
was drop of IL degrees from 4

indicated 33 degrees above zero. The
