User-Contributed Transcription The Sleigh ride.I went sleigh riding one bright sunny afternoon, with a company of schoolmates. We went in a large sleigh, drawn by two horses. The sleighing was very good. It was not very cold, and I had my overcoat and scarf on, and was very comfortable. We went over the ground pretty fast, out to the neighboring town of Ridgeville, where we had a fine time. Their (sic) was quite a lot of snow on the ground. The bushes and streams were all frozen, and looked very nice. In the summer, the trees would be covered with green leaves, and the streams flowing along very fast. We met a great many sleigh loads going to town. I enjoyed myself very much, but was glad to get home again.C.R. Metcalf
