Whatever may bave been the dissa/isfaction created in the breasts of street cleaning contractors and the em- ploy¢s of the city railroad companies by the recent snow storm, the clerk of the weather may at least congratu- late himself upon the fact that the meteorological bill of fare with which he has recently favored us was received with tho profoundest gratitude by a far more numerous and important section of the community. Every one who rejoiced im the possession of a passably swift speci- men of horseflesh, and who in addition was the happy owner of a sleigh or anything that by the exercise of human ingenuity could be converted into one, halled with the liveliest delight and with demonstrations of gladness, that to one of the uninitiated would have seemed like an indisputable passport toa lunatic asylum, the ever welcome snow. As he anxiously watched the feathery flakes descending slowly but covstantly upon the carth, he realized with emotions of inexpressible pleasure that yet another day of sieighing was possible. And to him or to any one else who has ever personally enjoyed it, what gratification would be more anxiously anticipated than the happy combination of pleasurable sengations involved in that mode of vehicular travel? The glorious sense of power imparted as the horse dashes gallantly alonz, at a two-forty gait, the unusual flow of spirits induced by the keen and bracing atmosphere, the cheery, pleasant countenances of one’s fellow wayfarers, the merry tinkle of the bells, all unite ‘o give the tray- eller a taste of happiness as unalloyed and as com- plete as can ever fall to the lot of mortal man. ‘The sleighing yesterday was remarkably good. Even in the city, before the rays of the sun had gained sut- ficient strength to melt the snow, there was quite @ ro- spectable number of eleighs visible in the leading tho- roughfares. Carmen and milkmen, undoubtedly with the intention of getting as much fun as possible, had re- moved the wheels {rom their vehicles, and, by means of shifts too numerous to mention, but which displayed inventive genius of the highest ‘order, had converted them into something, though what it might be dificult to determine, on run! For a few hoors in the early morning these were found to be useful adjuncts to their business, but towards noon they were compelled to return to the wheels, Quite a large number of sleighs were also to be seen on Broadway in the egriier portion of the day, and the liery stable keopers, with a keen but laudabie scent for greendacks, stationed their black and white minions with sleighs in various degrees of dubious re- pair, and but scantily furnished with the necessary buffa- loes and fura, in front of the hotels, for the accommoda- tion of the moneyed public, ‘The centre of attraction, however, was of course the Park, and every avenue converging to the Bloomingdale road was thronged with sleigus, whose occupants gave vnmistakable testimony in their smiling and joyous faces of their expectations of fun and pleasure. As the houses grow fewer aud further between brighter and briguter became their countenances, and louder and more merry was the laughter. From but a short time afver daybreak watil a very long time after sundown tho Bloomingdale road presented a scene ot the utmost gayety and the liveliest animation, Darting swiftly by there pagsed in constant succession, and in a number sufficient to crowd, though not inconveniently, tho thoroughfhre, steigbs of every conceivable size and pat- tern, filled with merry-mak rs who represened every grado of our democratic society. The light, graco- ful ittle cutter, just largo enough for the two, which an old proverb declares to be the limit of agreeable and pleasant company; the large and stately bat somewhat unwieldiey family sleigh; the aristocratic sleigh, built regardiess of expeuse, with heraldic emblems emblazoned on its sides; and the rude box, which had long lost all traces of having ever Deen painted, tixed on runners of a ludicrously primt- tive corttruction—these, with the innumerable grada- tions lying between these two extremes, might all be scen making themselves generally useful in the transporta- tion of their owners. The ‘cattle’? were of course of a calibre and degree correspondingly varied. Whatever may have been the description or character of the sleigh, however, its occupants were, in all cases, if outward man- ffestations might be believed, supremely bappy. Every one seemed to enter with indescribable earnestness into the sport, as if he thoroughly realized that it was the last chance for that particular mode of enjoyment at this season, and was determined to make the most of it. Nothing appareutly was eulliciently powerful to abate the m! ‘whether it were the voice of a gray-conted Policeman as he shouted out a warning in a tone of chilling Pg Sonppoeemyp rgeerig Bees dh dreary reflect another would probably see the welcome snow removed from the carth, to be Te- placed there only after months of hot and languid sum- mer weather, ‘sport was kept up until avery late the occupants of the sleighs ap- hour, and even witb the greatest reluctance parently relinquished it relinqul and unwillingness.
