The Arr Of promeunding.

In this delightful June weather. while it
has not vet grown so hot as 20 make the ex-
er2ise penance, the morning and evening
walk up and down Broadway is pleasure
ard relaxation that no business man can
afford to lose. The deate-ing din OF the on
nibuses and heayy-laden trucks, as they
catter and rumble over the antiguated
stone pavement, is. to be sure, somewhat OF
g. trial to delicate nerves, But tais Is an il
convenience that health and y;gor will
IL axe light Of, anG given these. there Will
be found enough attraction IL this daily
walk TO atone Tor even greater drawbacks.

WITH few shade trees and q less noisy
pavement, il might be called perfect
And, as has been said, at no time is it
more attractive than curing lie bright soft
mornings and long eco evenings which
make June the pleasantest season IL the
year. That is. normally speaking, for this
year the thermometer seems to have gone
ali astray. However, on the whole, there
is not much to complain Of, and the pncer-
taiuty OF the weather even tavors the &c
vice we are about to mention for adding
intellectually to the enjoyment CT the Broad
way walk. To carry cane toc mere urDa-
nect demands certain amount OF etfr0nt-
cry or an expensiveness OF style OF which
all men are not capable. But every one
