{Newspaper Clipping} Jan 21 1906 {Written in the top right corner} == Weather Like Sunday's Comes Once in 30 Years == === Caterpillars and Canoes Brought Out by a 56 Above Sun - Spring Mildness All Thru Middle and Eastern States - Cold Snap Due To - night. === Something went wrong at the weath-er works yesterday. Instead of the snow and the cold which it had been intended to bring along to end the con-tinued January thaw, there came forth a day that the merry month of May need not have been ashamed of. It wasn't in Toronto alone, either, as re-ports show. In the Middle Western and Eastern States the spring feeling was everywhere, and the mercury ran up in the 70's. It was, however, very cold in the Northwest provinces and in the Yukon. The developement of a depression over the Gulf of Mexico, which is moving toward lake re-gion, kept the weather very mild from the lake region to the maritime pro-vinces, accompanied by a few showers. Minimum and maximum tempera-tures recorded at the observatory are: Dawson, 64 below - 60 below; Atlin, 48 below - 36 below; Victoria, 28 - 44; Cal - gary, 32 below - 10 below; Battleford, 38 below - 24 below; Qu'Appelle, 24 below - 14 below; Winnipeg, 10 below - 4 below; Port Arthur, 10 - 20; Toronto, 40 - 56; Ot-tawa, 24 - 48; Montreal, 36 - 44; Quebec, 18 - 36; Halifax, 10 - 44. And while Toronto is billed to shiv-er and stamp its feet tonight or to-morrow, around the city yesterday some of the unusual sights of a Janu-ary 21 were: Canoeing on the bay, Yachting on the lake, Ice boating on Ashbridge's Bay, Caterpillars, Bees, Crowds of promenaders on the beaches to east and west of the city. Hyacinths and rosebuds showing themselves. === Where Extremes Meet. === At the foot of Woodbine avenue, to the south, on the placid bosom of old Ontario, many sailing and steam craft were visible, filled by genial young folks, attired in light costume. In Ashbridge's bay, just north of Coats-worth's Cut, iceboats flitted hither and thither on the icebound surface. On the Woodbine track a dog had hard work to negotiate the muddy strech, while, on the high verandahs facing Woodbine Park, in a temperature of 56 degrees, gentlemen in the bosom of their families smoked their fragrant Havanas to the accompaniment of humming mosquitoes, basking in the sunshine. To the rear of the houses hollyhocks were commencing to Lud again. A score of boats containing ladies and gentlemen sailed from the Humber across to Sunnyside. They partook of ice cream and spent several hours on the beach. Hundreds of people crowd-ed the sidewalks and scores were sit-ting around on the sand. The Hum-ber was fairly alive with boats. On the bay canoeing was a novel January recreation, and Toronto Canoe Club members who enjoyed the sport included: Frank Woodley, H E Saun-ders, Gray Howitt, George Spencer, Hugh Rose, Bert Giles, Arthur Et-well, C McHardy, D Nasmith, Bill Gowland and A Cadieux. The first two from the club to sail a canoe in 1906 were Gray Howitt and H. E. Saunders. === Some Curiosities === A gentleman brought in to The World
