Winter Sports and Pleasures.

Although Lent has put the seal of prohibi-
ton upon feasting and merriment the balls
and other enjoyments Of the season are not
yet ended. The fashionable people who
always make the grand Charity Ball sort of
carnival preceding the season of fasting and
self-denial this year made it gayer and
grander than ever before, and those who find
no obstacles to enjoyment during the COM
memorative fast, from their religious convic-
tons, disported themselves at the Liederkranz
last night in all the fantastic glories of former
years, making it, as it always has been, great
annual carnival. The Liederkranz, however
marks pause in the splendors and festivi-
ties of the season, and we may now look back
at what belongs to the past while we recount
the enjoyments of the winter. 1t is
seldom that the social season in this city was
spent with less ostentation and yet with so
much real pleasure as was the case this year,
and many OF the enjoyments which yet re-
main are not barred by the rules of any re-
ligious society. For instance, there is no pro-
hibition to any of the outdoor exercises which
form feature in metropolitan epjoyments,
and never before was there such superb skat-
ing as there has been this winter. 1t is true
the thaw and rain of yesterday destroyed for q
day or two the magnificent ice fields which we're
to be found everywhere in the neighborhood
of the city but the backbone of the winter is
not yet broken, and we yet anticipate some
splendid skating. For week before the rain
New York rivalled st. Petersburg in winter
sports. With an atmosphere as crisp and
clear as the ice itself an evening in the Park
is a keener pleasure than the highest enjoy
ments of the ballroom, and it is the general
hope of the young and joyous that the ice
may be renewed. for the experience Of the

RAPID TRANSIT IN TIN LEa1sLAruRI.-
Some attention has been called to the bill in
troduced into the Senate at Albany making
provision for rapid transit in the city of New
York. We shall be only too glad to approve
any measure that looks toward rapid transit
But the bill in question, introduced by Sena-
tor Hugh Moore, contains so many mistakes,
falls so far short of what is due to the city
and is virtually such revival of the old
Tammany system of legislation, that we trust
1t will not be passed. In the first place it
violates the express provisions of the consti-
tuition. In article L., section Is, it is ex-
pressly provided that the Legislature shall
not pass local or private bill 'granting to
any corporation, association or individual the
right to lay down railway tracks," or to any
private corporation any exclusive privilege,
immunity or franchise whatever" It also
forbids the construction of any street railroad,
except upon conditions which the bill of
Senator Moore does not fulfil. These consti-
tutional restrictions render the bill of the
Senator absolutely worthless, and it looks TO us
like job Of the old Tammany and Tweed
school, intended to forbid and not advance
rapid transit.

their relatives, VINO were forbidden even a

violations Of law were perpetrated with thu
full knowledge and consent Of the POLES
Commissioners. When, ut last, the prisoner
were brought before magistrate, one Of them
was forthwith discharged, as there was nc
shadow Of proof against him. Mr.. A. Oakley
Hall, their counsel, has presented charges to
the Mayor against the Police Commissioners
and officers, and has offered his free services
in establishing their guilt by proof. 1t is un-
derstood that Mayor Wickham will investi-

Our PRECIOUS POLICE DEPARTMENT, as will
be seen in another part Of this paper, has got
itself into scrape, which may cost the Com
missoners and Superintendent their offices.
Last Friday night three men were arrested on
suspicion OF being concerned in robbery of
the Adams Express Company. There is
strict provision OF law requiring police Off
GERS to bring every person they may arrest at
once before Police Court, if there is one in
session; and If not (as happens when arrests
are made in the night, as soon as the Court
opens on the following day. These three
prisoners were kept confined in cells for two
or three days in the hope of extorting con-
fessions. They were denied intercourse with
