The New York Central Park,

This great institution of New York is ap-
proaching completion, and already is a place
of considerable resort. Horseback exercise is
much in vogue, and, judging from descriptions
of the riding and hints upon the mode OF
managing horse, with which some of the
New York Journals abound. we should sur
mise that most of the exhibitions were on a
par with the celebrated equestrian perform
ances of Mr.. WINKLE. On Sunday afternoons,
the tried artisans of New York and their fami-
lies enjoy the only opportunity they have OF
inhaling fresh air, by Il ramble in the Park
and in this point of view it is great benefit.
The richer classes can leave in the summer
for the country and its watering places. The
poor have no such opportunity, and to them
the Central Park is the greatest blessing
which the municipality of New York has
ever conferred upon the people.
