brought about one GOOD eject. The ram IL good
for the ducks, anyhow good-naturod people to
giunelug friends who have lost their umbrellas;
bat it is better for the grass Central Park is
now IN It's brightest and most charming dress
The earth Is carpccd with brilliant vcrdure ana
the trees rejoicing in the ieay glor,cs Of n mid
summer that has cerlainy, whatever may be iis
other shortcomings, not been unpeasantly dry. The
efforts OF the Park Commissioners too, IN the way
Of dover beds and hedges arc already crowned
with deserved success. The holday-making Citize1
now wends his way to the Mall through partcrres Of
shady foliage, relieved now aud then by patches oi
blooming flowers, with here aud there the dull nasii
Of d nI0nze statue.
Yesterday was quite a gala day. The arrange
mcnts at me music stand are excellent There are
CHAIRS and benches IN abundance, anu temporary
awnings have been spread over them as ~ needed
shelter lrom the Penis or a July sun. All around
tic band, fora couple OF pleasant hours, thousands
OF people stroll, ana illrt and make themselves
happy occasionally dropping INTO tho cool saloon
beneath The grand stone stairway that leads 70 the
Lake tn indulge IN Il water ice Oh n sherry cObbcr.
The music was very good and the programme was
made up principally OF selections from popular and
'tIsa del Regimcnto.r
Music, however, was by no means tho sole rccrea.
ZION going On the commons OF parties were
ousiiy engaged IN our national game" aud the
drives were thronged with elegant vehicles.
Quite number Oh gentlemen on horseback
were also abroad, and there arc Intiica-
tons that h0fselnanship Is growing 70 be
more popular amusement than II used TO be. !h0
Lake was gay WIN boating parties, who were Tor
few fractional stamps rOwed around the lslanus by
tals, neatly dressed In white boating SHIRTS, With
naps Of blue falling on the breast and neck.
The mcnagcric. however, WAS, next 70 the music
stand the grand centre OF interest. Wbhn the past
three months the new house mas been opened, and
the lion that was once suen now cnudesCendS to
roar at short intervals, TO the intense satisfaction
OF The small boys. The zcbraS have become gu 10
tame aud cat sweet cakes from the hands OF visit
Ors with the docity OF lambs. The oner wonders
of the mcnagerie are they not known to all In
some way, however the cages seem now 10 DC Kept
much cleaner than formerly and all The animals,
except the MONKEYS, smell q little less extensively
Than your African fellow travellers M town ON u
third avenue car. And, rs 10 the monkeys. every
one knows that they arc hopeless case.
