RESULTS.
TO the Edftor OF The Tribune.
SIR The Central PARK is Il recognized and
most important element III the lives OF New-Yorker IL
has 10 be- during certain of the year. pos
slby their popular place OF resort and now that
the Elevated Railroad has brought Fify-nntlst within
half an hour Of downtown, Central Park is st more tho
lungs, the breathing space for crowded citzens. In
many respects it Is the greatest park In the world
True there are elaborate aud more charming parks
III Europe, and larger ones in America, but nowhere
taking everything into account, find SO much
broad aud varied landscape many attractive features
as in Central Park. We may lament that greater
variety Of plants has not been used in masses
to diversity sameness OF material that
characterizes the plantations as WHOLE but
VIC cannot rail 10 glory In the intelligence and
enterprise OF young nation that can do such work
Epoying and yauing the Park as do however, can
not look on its evident decadcnce at the present time
without some expression OF regret. do not, indeed
lament because the Park fails just now 10 fuln its
highest Office OF educator by perecting ts collections of
beautiful plants Hard times demand sacrifices from
all of u.s. could therefore, rest content with the plants
now I'm tho Park II that the only sacrifice demand

wisdom OF such economy Is open TO criticism. There
may be more advantageous ways OF saving IN the interest
OF the public than by curtang the payroll Of the Park
workmen Public confidence IN the good times coming
NAV be weakened instead Of strengthened by neglect Of
pubic improvements but let that pass My desire
simply TO call attention 10 the actual condition Of the
Park.
One OF the first things TO be distinctly understood IL
that perfection in the management of the Park must
not be expected. There inherent difficulties in tho
way We may be permitted, however, TO look for a
