the number runs up to $4,000, and even
az high as $4,000 The writer learned
that two weeks ago Saturday the atten-
dance was 5000, and the preceding Sat
urday $4,000. Sunday, however, is the
most attractive day for a stroll in the
Park, if the weather is at, all favorable.
On this day you are surprised TO see the
many different grades or classes of man.
kind who inhabit this great city, You
meet the ''brown stone" front man and
the inhabitant of the Common brick
house,; you meet the elegant distingue
gentleman in his wagon; you then
cast your eyes over the way and take q
peep In the windows of the coat of arms
carriage, and you are amazed to sec such
bespang}ed harness and the liveried at

yoa are bewildered to see 60 many riding

glance you zee old men, old women,
young men and young ladies, boys and
girls, infants and wee-wee babies, all out
for their Sunday walk, ard what they
consider Indispensable exercise for
health's sake. The figures taken each
week show that about 10000 people visit
the Park during the week. During the
"hot weather" the people begin to flock
to the Park about a. m. Thousands
go aud spend the day and take their
lunch on the grass, while the "small
boys" are sailing their boats in q neigh
boring lake, and the ''snali girls" play
ing at "croquet," (what the "big girls
do it is hard to say,) and the old folks
are contented to amuse themselves the
best way possible.
"The stranger in the city," when in
the Park, does not realize the great ex-
tent of the family with which he is so
closely associated.
The Park covers an area of $50 acres
including Manhattan Square, 16 acres,
and the site Of the buildings being erec-
ted for the Museum of Natural History
and there are go many prominent points,
and which are so widely separated, that
the "looker on in Venice" cannot for g
moment believe that he has met up with
so many thousands of people. He ir

there are nine and q half miles of car
