The Sledding Lamb

Event date: Jan 29, 1892

Travelers up the Canal street hill were entertained by the sight of a half-grown cosset lamb which evidently enjoyed the coasting as much as the boys. When placed on the front end of the traverse, the lamb laid himself down comfortably, “took in” the swift ride down the hill, and then with a complacent “b-a-a,” shook himself and trotted back up the hill to do it over again.
