SKATING.
Yesterday at the Park-The Fun and
Frolic Of the Occasion.

Yesterday at the Park-The Fun and
Fr0lic OF the Occasion.
1t seemed yesterday afternoon that nearly all
the boys and girls as well as many OF Gotham's
adults. were at the Park INDUCING in the pastlme
OF skating. At the cars leading TO the prnci-
pal entrances were filed about Fourteenth street,
and more than one conductor felt that the occasion
was, indeed, pleasant for the juvenile community.
Although bright, the day was very cold. 1t was
freezing from early morning, and increasing
In such intensity at nightfall that those
who had thermometers outside the doors
and were OF speculative dispositions were wearied
with noting its diminishing tendency, and though
around fires that were pleasant, would invOun-
tarily shrug their shoulders and shrink more
closely within themselves. On the lake at two
O'Clock there were over three thousand present
and everybody was jolly. There were more than
the ordinary number of suspicious falls on the ice
by those Of the fair who had masculine and
youthful escorts. The sequence OF such tumbes
were necessitated by taking the PROSTATE
girl around her waist 20 lift her up until she recov-
cred from the shock, and this was special attrac-
tiOr OF ITSELF Nightiall brought recruits, and when
the lamps were lighted the enthusiasm was at its
height. The beaux and bellies fairly revelled In the
enjoyment of the scene, and. more than any other
reunion of the character there was mrth all
around. when the word was passed to ''clear the
ponds all took on the "rnging steel'' with reluc-
tance feeling that the day had been OF the most
enjoyable nature.

starwavs IN the building, and 900 children attend
the school. The school Is in excellent condition
and the means OF escape are simple, and could
easily be taken advantage OF.
Among the other schools visited Is one on the cor
ner OF Stanton and Sheriff. which will be heated by
steam from two boilers The main stairway IL wide,
being built ofwood. The back stairways are built OF
stone. The great trouble with this new building,
however, Is that there is too much woodwork on
the lower floors. There Ia also new school In
Ludlow, near Delaney. No admission can be
had to the building as yet. Colored School No. Q,
In Allen, between Delaney and Broome, Is in q
wretched and filthy condition, and is entirely I'M

near BrOome, Is in an unsafe condition. School
No. 80, in Baxter near Grand has very wretched
arrangements in case fire should occur. School
No. g. at 226 Mott street, In the Fourteenth ward,
Is also unsafe, particularly IN the matter OF the
stairways. School No. q, in Marion, near Spring,
Is believed to be in a safe condition. The other
schools on the east side OF town which we have not
mentioned are generally supposed TO be safe In
case fire should occur.
FIFTEENTH WARD.
In this ward there are only three schools. The
nrst In thirteenth street. between Fifth and Sixth
avenues, seems safe enough. considering the enor
nous use OF wood made In this, as In apparently
all other schools, by the architect. There Is a
broad wooden stairway In front and another OF
brick and iron on each side at the rear The build
ing Is heated by steam, the two boilers being run
