Croquet players learn with indignation of an
effort to put their favorite sport under the ban
of public disapproyal. What less than this can
the recent order of the New York Park Commits
sioners mean That order prohibits ladies' and
gentlemen playing together in Central Park.
Naturally the general fraternity of the hoop and
msllet have taken arms against this sea of trout
bles, and il opposing means to end it then the
Commissioners will have to back down their UNI
gallant action without delay. To those of us
not used to the ways of the Metropolis, the or
der seems in high degree harsh and absurd.
Croquet is admitted to le one.of the wholesomest
and purest OF outdoor games. 1t is pastme
which provides a sufficient but not too violent
exercise, while it has 30 much interest in itself
that the player forgets that he is taking exercise
at all 1t has not been degraded by betting and
other dissolute associations, and its conditions
sre such-the main one being that it cannot
serve spectacle to any considerable multi
tude-that it is probable it never will be thus de-
graded. What it was when first introduced ten
years ago, it is now and it is not likely to change
although the number of its adherents constant
ly grows greater. Further and most important
it is the only game of the kind which admits the
sexes on even terms. Women are often as good
players as men, for it lisa game which requires
less of strength than steadiness of hand and
quickneas of perception.
An attempt to put down this exercise in COM
mon we must esteem il-judged. People do not
affect prudishness about it, and know very we'll
what the order aims at, yet it is certainly mis-
taken view to suppose that immortality can he
encouraged by any pursuit 80 harmless in itself
and 30 constantly under the supervision of the
authorities. Why not stop promenading, or so
further still and deny admittance to all women
not officially youched for The rule either
means nothing, and is an offensive restriction,
or it laughably fails of accomplishing anything,
while the park in all other respects is as free to
women as to men. In our own knowledge OF
Central Park there are localities in it which at
all times are as retired as private garden, and
the mall and other resorts are in the morning
comparatively deserted. Croquet parties could
improve such opportunities to the advantage o.
their health and comfort and in fact have don,
no for years, and are now scandalized at tht
new order. The grievance is, however. widei
than this. If the New York ladies are driver
rpm their Park they will doubtless find goot
turf and fresh sunshine elsewhere. The com
plant is a general one, for the order is felt t.
have bearing on the game and to be an impli
cation upon the sex which is its honored an,
main support. The commissioners have don
an ungracious thing and the wisest thing the
can now 10 is to recall their act without loss o
time

speedy publication by scribner, Armstrong Il

scene being laid in country parsonage on the

The ThIeyes of New York.

The old thieves quarter where the established
''gang" existed, which for many years the police
Intellectually endeavored to extirpate, was in the
eight ward, namely in Spring and Prince streets.
The famous Whltey-Titey brigade, which broke
up on the hanging of Jerry O'Brien, the murder
er, had its headquarters established in Prince
street, near Wooster, for many years. A cap
tain of police, who was seriously ANNOYED aud
almost "broke' for several burgaries committed
i'll the precinct, determined he would make one
supreme effort to rid himself of this nncomfor-
table constituency. Hitherto there had been a
kind of tacit understanding that the thieves
should not do anything in tile ward where they
lived but as they we're the first to break
through this he besieged them day and night,
al d at length they were obliged to move. Since
that time they have elected the fourteenth ward
AZ their stronghold, and here, in small
streets adjoining the Bowery, they exist
in great numbers and from here they
verge outward through all parts OF the city in
search of "swag." These are very dull times,
however, and there is great complaints among
these gentlemen that the day when New York
was the paradise of thieves is passed. It is not
that the police have improved at all in efficacy.
but that there does not seem to be the oppor-
tunity there used to be. Justice is also little
better administered than formerly, and political
influence does not go so far as it did to save men

The credit of New York city is represented ar
in rather bad way. The HcrdH is responsible
for the editorial statement that Mayor Have
meyer has assured various persons that elf the
true condition Of our finances and the true
amount Of our debt were known it would be i'm
possible to sell city bonds at fifty cents ON the
dollar And yet New York is enormously rich
and her taxes are scandalously heavy what 8
the matter Simply that extravaganza, pecula-
ton, and downright robbery have run their
natural course, and produced their legitimate re-
suits. While New York is the worst example in
the country of this Generalization in municipal
affairs, it only stands at the extreme end of a
long list of cities affected similarly though not
