The correspondence received by the District
commissioners concerning the English sparrow,
having been referred to the Parking Commits
sion, has been returned with the following
endorsement:
The Parking Commission respectfully submit
that. so far as their observation extends, the
imported sparrow has but little opportunity of
doing any harm in the City. even If so inclined
ON the other hand. there is ample and indiS-
putabe evidence that they do some good in de-
StToyng CaterpillarS.
That they Will eat certain kind Of seeds is
wei known.
That they scare off other birds is not proven.
Ihat they fraternHe peaceably with other
birds Is a matter OF daily observation.
Compared with the cat-bird and robin the
sparrow is harmless. The two former render il
almost lmpracticab.e TO get q rpened cherry
strawberry or grape.
The sparrow viii feed upon oats, barley.
sorghum, timothy, and other grass seeds, but
these are not usually grown in cities, and we
hear no complaints from those who cultivate
these crops.
Positive evidence OF the value of the sparrow
