Sleighing was great old sport, as any
man or woman will testify who remembers
the cutters OF generation ago. Those merry
cutters have nearly vanished, along with
other horse-drawn vehicles. The horse Is
rated too slow and awkward i'll comparison
with the motor car But the automobile,
even when equipped with rafting tire chains
that diStantly remind one OF sleighbels, IS
far from being complete substitute Tor the
