Tns CRowpED DRIVES IN Town AND IL
CENTRAL PARK.-London has its Hyde Park.
Paris the Bois de Boulogne, where each
day the elite congregate, where rich and
handsome. gay and well dressed danes
du monde may be seen, gazed at, sd-
mired New York, the capital Of the New
World was not to be outdone in that respect
by either London or Paris, and so, as If by en-
chantment, our Central Park rose upon bar
ren rocky site, now transformed into bloom
ing garden. Since Central Park has become
our fashionable promenade hundreds of car,
riages, from the rich caleche and brougham to
the less pretentious hired vehicle, throng each
Round and round, from bridge to bridge and
from lake to lake, an unceasing line of carriages
and horsemen passes from four in the afternoon
until sunset. Many remain until night. But as
the shades of evening approach we see no EVIL
denees of careful conforming to that muni-
cipal regulation which orders that after dark
all vehicles shall bear light. Although the
measure is clearly one for safety and preserve
lion from accident, none obey it. The conse-
quences are often annoying often put life and
limb in jeopardy-and yet, although each day
we witness broken wheels, hear the crash Of
carriages as they come violently in contact, we
find no policeman compelling the drivers TO
put lights upon their vehicles, no fines are i'm
posed no complaints or arrests made; and so it
will continue, we suppose, until life has paid
the forfeit Of this gross, this culpable nsgli-
gencs Of one Of the most evident measures
Of safety, dictated alike by the law and by COM
mon sense. We hold that it is clearly the duty
Of the police to attend to this matter; that it
involves life and death, and, at any rate, obedi-
ence to law, and that policemen were clearly
organized to enforce that obedience.
Let an edict 60 forth at once, ordering all
owners and drivers Of carriages to put lights on
them the moment It IL dark; fine them for the
first omission, fine and imprison for the second,
and the object will be attained-the law obey
ed In Paris and London no one is allowed to
drive q vehicle after dark unless IL bears
light. We have seen the Emperor's carriage in
Paris stopped in the street and the lanterns duly
lighted, and that when within fifteen minutes
drive Of the palace. But the regulations Of the
Paris municipality are that-at such an hour Of
the evening in summer, an earlier hour In win
tsr-all carriage lanterns must be lighted; and
one and oil, rich and poor, must conform and
do conform to rule the slightest inffaction Of
which is deemed dangerous TO life. We repeat
our caution to the police upon this subject II
il one Of growing Importance, as the drive to
Central Park is becoming more and more nuI
merously attended. The matter clearly calls
for the attention OF all those whose duty 1t istF
enforce law and order in our city,
