The routes TO the Central Park have been made much
in the past two three weeks by the abste
ment Of the pggery and oai nuisances which formerly
allied with their rank doors the Rosrs passengers in the
city to extent for which the fresh pure breezes
that blow the Park scarcely compensated The Sixth
and Eighth avenue cars to Fifty ninth street. the
southern boundary Of the Park and the AMI Third
avenue roads leave their passengers at Seventy arst
street, which nearly opposite and but short distance
from, the Ramble The cars on all these roads ran
crowded from an early hour In the afternoon all the
approaches TO the Upper Ramble hronged with con-
tnuous professions going and coming until nearly dark
The music, which was furnished by bod worth's Band,
commenced at half past four o'clock lasted until the
sun had gone down behind the Palisades in halo of
golden mist The music Of COURSE was excellent but In
the midst OF such scene nobody could stop crtcise it,
The crowd Was made Of the most respectable and to
large extent even arlstocrac, materials Ladies and
children largely predominatod, nearly every gentleman
having from to three ladies under his escort and
patcr famids, number Of tender olive branches be-
sides, who frocked about the pleasant 80 many
gay butterflies There were fifty sixty carriages on tho
ground, back way having been provided for reaching
the upper part Of the ground in close proximity to the
music Atand Here and there among crowd and along
the walks were urchins peddng iozengos and oakes
candies and apples not wanting The little fellows
thirsty stood with their pas and dppers at every turn
and were literally patr great many Of the visit
ers were from the country, or from distant towns
and cities, accompanied generally by their metro
politan friends, and almost invariably they were
loud and earnest in their concentrations Of
the music, the beautiful Ramble, the Park with .s pro.
misses Of magnfcence, and all thereunto pertaining rho
Grotto Pixies Peak and the tunnel process Of exca-
walton under Observatory H points which elected
During the whole afternoon could not learn Of any
dsordery conduct in fact have never In all our OK
perence, encountered better behaved concourse The
greatest crowd about Eve O'clock when there Vero
not far from four OF FIVE thousand people within stones
throw Of the music stand The scene at this tuao from
the Observatory Of the most animated description
The crowd gathered IN the open space about tho
music stands the groups scattered hther thher Sit
ing and reclining the green grass the shade Of
the rocks, the gangs Of Workmea digging and drilling in
the remoter portions Of the PAk the great city beyond
overspread With dark curtain Of smoke drifting
westward in the wind, AID the clear blue sky
over all, unbroken by single cloud all combined
to form picture worthy Of the pencil OF An
artist friend suggested Thai the group OF Carriages in
waiting, the quiet congregation and she music reminded
him Of some great funeral pageant tho country The
greatest want Of the occasion WIS place To Sit Ono
long row Of seats has boon provaed near the stand but
these do not afford quarter Of the accommodation needed
for tired mortas who, resousy observing the reques.
To please do not sraad thu erase are compelled TO-
wander away almos, out Of hoarng CT the usc to find
resting place We trust this may be remoaod before lhe
next concert
me programme was completed With tho stirring notea
of Yankee Doodle shortly after sunse bu, long before
that time tho crowd hsd began dsperse forming long
processions down the uas leading various railroad
lines The cars wsre .un every minute, and FOR hows

and vhefevsrs footnod could be secured, like sWarmA
