1t has been the proach country that its

not Baltimore and far parks and public
places concerned prove this to be unfounded? Why
should policemen be multiplied protect the birds in the
woods of the Park? Will the sportsman even who de

thedeprvation he causes to the thousands who enjoy
their pumage and their song. And why, in any re-
spect should other law be necessary in the Park than the
law of good feeling and forbearance The Commission
