We arc lortunate In having such q Iargc

We are fortunate in having such large
lake as the ono at Central Park for n skating
ground. The immense crowd gathered upon 1t
yesterday showed that It is entirely inadequate
to the needs oi our skating population. Skating
was almost impossible. and collisions we're
nlarminGly frequent All this would have been
taken in good part had It been occasloned by
other skaters. The great trouble was that
crowds of people who had no skates were al
lowed to ovorrun the lee. These persons were
not there to slide. but merely to walk around.
and this they might Just ns well have done clsc-
whore In the Park. Az it was. they impeded
skating and were n nuisance TO themselves and
to others. There may bc no ruc to keep them on
tho leo. but decent regard for other people, =
pleasure should induce them to leave the ice
clear.

Walking Ia good exercise and ought to be
encouraged. Such exhibitions as those ot
O'LEARY and CAMPANA in Gilmores Garden
and Mrs ANDERSON In Brooklyn. although the
foais are OF endurance rather than of pedestri-
anism. would be OF public value ii they led mon
and women to walk more and ride less. 1t is.
therefore. to he regretted that the surroundings
Of neither performance have been proper. The
reporters say that both O'LEARy and CAMPANA
openly drank liduorsto excess. that their friends
quarrelled and fought in the midst OF tho spec
tators. and that prize fighters and thieves wore
conspicuous in the direction " their effor's.
Mrs. Anderson is also unfortunate In her ASSOC
catos. for we read that JOIN DwYEP. who IL
to fight ELLIOTT for the championship in May"
accompanies her round the track. Such things
tend to bring podestrianism down to the level
of the prize ring. WESTON was a great deal of u
humbug. but he always gave his performances
an air Of respcctabiity that drew tho attention
OF people OF refinement and set them walking.

The distinguished foreigners now visiting
this city should not fail to make an inspection
Of Frankfort street. AM especially OF the block
running east from William street. They can
there behold n spectacle not to be seen in any
city Of Europe-a spectacle that Frcnchman
ot Paris might well come here to study.
TN tho narrow sidewalk of that short
block nineteen overhowine barrels OF
ashes and garbage stood yesterday. and have
stood day after day. Ten Of the barrels stand
before one tenement. and five OF them before
another. The cartw0y is not less noXious than
the sidewalk but the pedestrian is apt to he
blinded py the whlrling dust and ashes. so that.
after the first glimpse Of the locality. he can
pursue his way as Il humble sufferer without
seeing ANYTHING more.
The distinguished foreigners now in the city
need not hasten to Frankfort street to-day. for
we have not heard of any proposition to change
tho programme or remove the spectacle.
