held at the Germania Assembly Rooms, in tho
Bowery, yesterday, Tor the purpose Of considering
ways and means for the erection OF a new hall for
"trade purposes" Jacob Mohrsted was called
upon to preside, and among those who addressed
the meeting on this subject was Nelson W. Young,
who in the course OF his remarks said that the
printers have already fund for a similar object,
amounting to about $4,000, and the plan Of erect
ing workingmens hall he urged as very
expedient measure, which, If properly man:
aged could be successfully carried out, and
would be OF great benefit to the trade
organizations and me wOrkingmen generally. The
funds lor the projected workingmen's han, IL is
proposed, shall be raised by subscriptions or
shares among the workngmen themselves and
those sympathizing with them.

Prospect Park.

The throng of visitors at Prospect Park yester-
day was unprecedentedly large, the fine weather
having the eject Of attracting thousands to that
charming resort OF the people. The foliage there
Is now rich and beautiful, and the landscape
scenery with which the Park abounds never ap-
peared to better advantage. The shady hooks,
arches Of the bridges, cottage and dairy were all
in great demand among the ramblers, who grew
weary OF promenadlng over the lawn, about the
dell and other exposed localities. It might be
as well to state here that q more liberal dis
tributon Of settees could be made In secluded
spots by the keepers than at present prevail. The
Car superintendents appear to have taken the hint
thrown out touching the propriety Of providing
more cars on the lines leading TO the Park for the
accommodation OF visitors, as there was not so
much fault found yesterday In that direction by
the people. On the drives there was very large
number OF handsome vehicles, and the roads Wefe
well watered, which enhanced the pleasures or the
drive and added to the comfort OF pedestrians.
The boats on the lake were kept in constant occu-
patton during the afternoon, and the visitors to
the Park, one and all, may be supposed TO have
enjoyed themselves heartily.

The most forcible argument in favor OF free

the East and North rivers Is the desire which the
poorer classes Of the metropolis evince for some
thing OF the kind by their Sunday visit TO Coney

that by water Is rather preferable. On the

of the oroils which are OF frequent occurrence.
The overland route is fraught with all manner
OF dsagreeable features The pleasure seeker

beach that the opportunities for amusement are
not commensurate with the trouble required to

Experimental Suggestions for Dog

For myself like dogs best at reasonable dis

thousands who roam loose In New York and Brook

learned professors who think hydrophobia an
imaginary i'll would propose, for the benefit Of
science, that some Of these stray ours be caught
those which the dog lovers say only have frs.-and
confined securely. Then professor should per-
NIT one of them to bite him on the bare hand or
face. Let them apply their remedies that they
always claim they could have used II they had
been called in time, and, just for the benefit Of
science, sec what effect they have. 1t would be a
great thing for science and better for
the dogs than to. kill them, when they only have
fits Ny opinion Is, II o dog that acted q little
strange should come after one Of them In the
street you could not see the professor for the
dust he would kick up with his heels. Every little
while we read OF some great cure OF hydrophobia;
but the number OF deaths from 1t would show that
these learned men know OF no cure SO let the
dogs be put out OF the street at any rate. XIII
