where the music is an unobtrusive incident harmonic

TIE music, along with the charms Of foliage
rock, and lawn, and water. On Saturday
lsat all Tire seats in de Ramoe filed every rock
yed by promeIsaors. The road which passes the hsat
of TIE terrace was as crowded as the lower part o
Broad way at Eoidday and the officers kept very
tasy n asss ing pedestrians this carriage way
yhe utility Of e terrace bridge was more apPa

as 1t not only affords fine prospect bat is also the beS
place for enjoying the music.

composed of people who cannot afford TO devote Sau'
day afternoons listening the concerts; but they
seemed very happy and cyntented with the beautl s
spread around them. 1t was never-tirng delight t.
witness the graceful sporting of the swans. There are
however birdie in the Park slll attractive, but
rarely Hen by visitors. We refer to the English phea
sapts which, the ke:per informs us, even he never
sees except when they TO be fed in the morning
They are almost as timid bird partridge, and
be close TO the ground when they notice the approach
Of any one There are present less than half dozeT
of them but next season it is intended to allow tina
ludest Of all stepmothers, hen 70 bring up broo
Of these beautiful birds.
TIE tent for religious services, near the entrance

well dressed listeners. The audisnce must have Duu
bered nearly thousand. On the stand were the Rev
John bowling Rev. Anthony Tiemann, father Of eS
Mayor Temsnn, Rev. l.. II. Van Dozen, Rev. RObeI
