Csry you TO all the prominent points OF interest there
were asO roads of thirty feet in width which led the
equestrian to many lovely spots inaccessible by a
grand avenue. Pedestrians had also extensive gar.

manner ia WI ich the ground had been studied. One
was tie besutifulskes created by dammng the brook

were not set in at random, but the masses OF foliage

TO produce the finest effects from points IN the road
where they would be- beat seen. Had the PARK been

WALKS IN TIE CENTRAL PARK.

Ts NE EsStT V ihe ~ 4. f'touHe
SIR In common, doubtless, with many other New
Workers. am interested in the discussions and sugges-
tons that find place from time to time in the papers
about the Central Park, and should ike to cay word
or two on point that scarcely to be sufficiently
valued refer to the paths that in some Of the plans
are proposed to accompany the main line having no.
tioed that proposition has been made to abolish al
such paths and allow provision to pedestrians In
the immediate vicinity OF the drives. Ii Is OF course
10 b. supposed tbat there will be plenty OF paths aud
walks on the grass and among the trees all over the
Park but this will hardly do away with the necessity
for providing definite opportunity for pedestrians
TO enjoy the brilliant spectacle OF handsome equipages
and gay dressed company that will flock in carriages
on fine afternoons the Park and II there s no path
made, tie people will doubtless make one without
much ceremony.
In the Champs Elysees in Paris, which s the prom
Grade both for riding and walking, the ootpaths on
each side important as the drives Themselves.
The ladies get out of their carriages and stroll along
for hsif mile so, chsttug with such friends as
they may rect and then renew their drive and this
InlrgIiug of csrsge people and pedestrians has
cheerful, republican look, that is very agreeable.
Then, again, who forget the Chisjs at Naples,

bay 10 Fesuvius in the distance, leaving such de-
igbtful impression on the memory OF every tourist
has either cfvep through strolled along the
shaded promenade that accompanies its course The
idea Of fine horses and handsome equipages always
seems to connected with the idea Of people to cri.i-

who DO not care for this of erjoymert but it is
