The real cause of the :ninking of the

The residence of Joseph Kara. in

into the cold snow and'fressing at~

in a short time neighbors began to
gather at the scene, but the flames had
gained such a headway that an at-
tempt to save the burning building was
out of the question.
All attempt to fight the fire seemed
only to further infuriate the noisy lick-
ing flames, which were soon leaping
high In the air. and within an incredit-
ably short time the little dwelling was
simply one solid burning column.
Those who attempted to save the
contents of the building were obliged
to hurry their work. as the charred
and burning beams and rafter were
falling on every side. and portions of
the roof soon began crashing down to
the ground, placing everyone within
several feet of the building In momen-
The firefightera' services were prac-

About the Norwallls
How it Was, How It is, and How it
Could Io If the Owners of Horses
Would Get Together.
it Is a number of years since it we:
as good slcighing as now. and it seems
too bad that the good old times of the
snow path are not renewed.
Years ago the owners of horses who
loved a friendly brush on the snow,
when there was offcred so excellent oc- i
casion as is afforded now, would be out
every afternoon on "Pudding Lane." as
It was entitled then, and enjoy the ox-
hileratlng sport of spending on the
snow. Then the trolley smiled condi-
tions there, but a fine speedway was
to be found in East avenue. Here the
trolley came and the speedway .was
changed to Newtown avenue. but only
for a few seasons. the trolley spoiling
it for such purposes.
At present there is no speedway. as
of yore. but we think there could be. if
our drivers would meét on the turn-
pike between the hoapitnl and the junc-
tion of the pike and Falrfield avenue.
The stretch is not as level as could be
(it aired. but the course is straightaway,
and the road is of good width and as
free from general travel as any con-
venient thoroughfare.
If the boys would get together hero,_
they could have some genuine fun for a
little driving on this road would make
It a "path" well adapted for testing the
qualities of their several stoppers.
There are a number of good horses
in The Norwalks.‘which would be great-
ly added to as soon as it became known
in the surrounding neighborhood that
Norwalthad renewed its popular win-
tcr sport and these fine winter after-
noons would be the occasion for great
enjoyment to the owners of good
horses. and the many lovers of friendly
contests for speed supremacy of the
noble animal.
We suggest that “the boys" get out
once more, and as soon as possible. and
take advantage of this extraordinary
