of making extensive improvements, so
that when she is put overheard this
spring she will be practically a new

her more speed. The increased free
board secured by raising the bow will
make her more seaworthy and changes

According to the almanac Sunday was
the first day of spring and the vernal
season was ushered in by snowfall
which was more like a real snowstorm
than anything we have had since March
GANG in. Snow began falling in the
early hours of the morning and at about
o'clock the ground was white, but the
snow soon disappeared and although the
day was cloudy and snow fell at times
it was followed in the early evening b.
clearing weather.
