The Filth Avenue Reservoir.

Like certain monuments of Egypt. the
great structure fronting on Fifth avenue,
between Fortieth and Forty-second streets,
has lost its original significance. It was
once useful reservoir, but is now regarded
as an encumbrance which occupies valua-
BILE piece of building property. Indeed.
there are not few speculative individuals
who watch for the disposition Of the great
pile Of masonry with the keenest interest,
hoping to find an opportunity of turning
an honest penny somehow in connec-
tion with it. Liberal-minded citizens
who own property in the immediate
neighborhood, and who are looking, perhaps,
for purchaser at a good price, advocate
the removal OF the Reservoir and the forma-
ton Of public park, ''where the tene-
ment house poor, sir, can bring their sickly
babies and breathe the air of heaven"
Others, with an equally sharp eye to busi-
ness, propose that the edifce should be
removed and the land sold for building
purposes, in order ''that our taxes may be
reduced by the sale of useless city property"
These people hope to get good bargains by
sellers. All have their particular pet schemes
for making money out Of the Reservoir
somehow, and we hope all will be disap-
pointed. Would it not be better for the
interests ofthc city that the Reservoir should
remain, because the pulling down and cart
ing away Of its material would certainly
develop into job rs costly as it is unnec-
essary2 We see no reason why tn ese mas
siye walls and areas enclosed should not at
small expense be converted into place
of public recreation. The surrounding dis
trict is not SO well provided with suit
able and safe promenades that the city
can afford to destroy this one around the
top OF the Reservoir wall. Cannot the bot
tom of the basins be converted into horticul-
tural gardens to which series of arched
entrances from the adjoining avenue and
streets can be pierced through the main
walls? These archways, If numerous
enough without involving the stability Of
the walls, artistically arranged and suitably
decorated, would form one OF the most orna-
mental features of transformation that
could be effected in the old Reservoir at
comparatively small expense. The present
dividing wall might be removed SO as to
throw the two sections of the Reservoir into
one open area, which could be made beauti-
full with towering shrubs, grass plots, walks,
fountains and statuary. BY piercing the
walls with high and broad archways per-
feet circulation of air and shelter from the
hot summer sun for invalids and others
who might frequent the garden would be
secured. Thus unique and highly pictur-
esque public garden could bo formed out Of

The WEATHER.-The main area of high press
ure having passed to the eastward off the Mid
die and South Atlantic coasts we find the high
barometer from the north descending toward
the Middle States in advance of the depression
which fingers in the Northwestern districts
but extends its influence to the southwark
aud eastward. Rains have fallen very gen
orally from the coast toward the Msss-
sippi Valley, commencing at this city yes
tcItlay afternoon as a light drizzle, which by
nightfall had become quite perceptiblc. This
rain was preceded by decided fall of tempera-
ture, which added to the general discomfort of
those whose business compelled them to go out
of doors. In the Southern districts, however,
the temperature has risen, but cloudy weather
prevails, with relatively low pressure. The
weather in New York and its vicinity to-day will
be cold and cloudy, with rain

Our Lawbreaking Police Board.

Brass buttons and responsibility in
combination help amazingly in developing
the contempt OF the law which marks the
present administration of our police sys-
tenn. The buttons lend that aspect of ave-
inspiring dignity which is indispensable
to the police official but rresponsi-
bility Is the grand foundation ON which
the policeman's right to break the law
rests. After repeated warnings and appeals,
propositions and suggestions from press
and people, regarding the disposal of the
city garbage, the Police Commissioners de-
liberately permit their employees to dump
this refuse in the Bay Of New York by the
half dozen scowloads at a time. There is
no mere suspicion about this charge. 1t is
based on positive evidence and bears out
our recent articles on the manner in which
the city and its immediate vicinity is being
dotted with great heaps of refuse deposited
by the Police Department Street Cleaning
Bureau. Here is gross violation Of the
law perpetrated by the men paid to uphold
the law--an act destructive to the best in
terests Of health and comnarce as we'll as an

turned against the democratic statesman
who was cheated out of the Presidency by
fraud after having been elected by the
people. Mr.. Morrissey's supporters will
welcome any alliance, and are certain to act
in good faith toward their allies, because
they never had so strong q motive as now
for attempting to force open the doors of the
State Convention and recover recognized
standing in the democratic party. MI.
Kelly's future power in State politics is
staked on his local success in this election,
and It is possible that solid combination
of the anti-Tammany elements of all shades
and descriptions may defeat him as signally
as he was defeated two years ago.
But he is q man of resources, and it is en-
tirely safe for his followers to rely upon
his courage and persistency: He has had
bad luck with Purroy, whose unfortunate
escapadc at Nyack withdrew an otherwise
strong candidate from the Aldermanic
ticket; bad luck, also. with his selection
for Register, which he was compelled to
change at the last moment; bad luck in
not finding candidate willing to run
against Morrissey for the Senatorship and
even his good luck at Albany will turn
out to have been really bad if the
resentments he then kindled shall make the
nnti-Tammany coalition in this city success
full. But he must remember that great men
are tried by difficulties, like fine gold in o
furnace, and he must accept opposition as
a part Of his destiny. If Tweed's ESTIMATE
Of him is correct as the ablest democratic
politician Of the last thirty years the new
Tammany chief will rise superior to all OBJ
stacles and the whole public will indorse
the opinion of the ex-Boss.

Can Hanlon Row Courtney Down

over the five mile course. were made re-
spectively in 35m. 15s., 35m. 16s., B5m. lbs.
and Som. Sos. Thereupon, and Influenced
by the short work he made of Ross, "his
hackers are prepared to match him for

three miles and the other Of fve." Ross

this enormous stake. The Toronto course
is said to be forty yards over five miles.
The above figures, then, would show that he
went at the rate Of o mile in about I'm. Is. },
or three miles in 21m. 3s. But while their
very closeness renders them almost GER
tainly very accurate index over the longer
distance, all oarsmen know that it is equally
certain that had the distance been but
three miles the pace must have been some
what faster. How much it is Of course
impossible to fix, but his time to
the stake in his race with Ross
will aid in the calculation. That was
I'm. 50s. for two and a half miles, which
would, if maintained half mile further,
make him do the three miles in 21m. 24s.
This does not include the turn. which
would add materially, making the time not
far from % minutes. While. after the first
mile, Ross did not drive him, neither did
he seem to waste much time on the out
stretch, so that, putting his five and two
and half mile times together, and making
Ill g. k,,~r thar
seem to be no reason to conclude that he
can row three miles, including turn, in
less than 81 minutes.
But Courtney made the Saratoga three
miles in 2Om. AZ 3-4s., and came home faster
than he went out. Again at Owego last
week he cut the time down to 20m. IA 1-2s.,
beating Riley easily. as usual, while Riley
himself was only 10 seconds behind. While
