HOW THE PARKS LOOKED.
Persons who visited Central Park yesterday had
whatever taste they possessed for winter scenery
abundantly gratlfed. Some of the trees retained
the ncrustations of ice which they received in the
storm of Friday. The swaying Of the slyer-colored
branches in the wind produced O pleas
ing play of light and shade. This
effect was most beautiful when in the afternoon
the sun several times broke through the clouds for
brief interval. The branches Of pines nodded under
their burdens of ice and snow; shrubs and bushes
hung far down over the drivs and paths or trailed
upon the ground. AL unbroken stiffness rested upon
the long reaches VI snowclad landscape Ill the upper
part of the Park and here and there Jagged pile OF
rocks faced with cleaning crystals, contributed to
the OF the scene. Ihe effect OF tho
ice upon the stOne-work ut the Mall was fannln IN
the extreme. There were many parts thai had the
OF BENG m o and from tbs rails
fringes of iccles. Some OF the statues were sneeted
with ice and long cicies cluns to points and angles
In tn. lower portions of tho Park, from Fifty
ninth-st. Ms far as the Metropolitan Museum
Of Art there was ..ot merry Jingle shf Of ts seeS
snow materially improved the sleghing. Every
body drove past the obelisk.
81 The appearance Of the skating pond made useless
by O coating of slush and snow, was in striking con-
trast to that which II presented during the two or
three weeks previous to the storm. Several young
men, with their skate bags on their arms. were seen
In the afternoon to approach the edge OF the pond
and then turn away in disgust. They had made a
Tourney over slippery paths for nothing.
The devastating effects OF the storm were visible
in many places. Many trees were literally split in
two; the huge limbs OF others rested upon the
ground attached to the parent trunk by a slender
Band OF bres Drives and foot-paths were, in places
efrewn with broken limbs, the green foliage OF frs
and pines and dead branches Commissioner Wales
said yesterday that large force OF men would be
detailed Immediately to clear the drives aud paths
and look after the safety of the broken shrubs and
trees He Ssid that ne thought they could be so

City Hall Park looked most dismal. Huge banks
of snow Of disagreeable color, owing to an accu-
ulation OF dirt, bordered the sidewalks and paths.
The benches possessed no attractions even for
broken limbs Of the injured trees swung mournfully
TO and fro. Uncn-square looked almost cheerless
There TOO. tie snow is no longer thing Of beauty
Many helpless limes dropped to the ground. and
come of the severed branches lay partly covered up
in the mottied snow. The unsightly snow banks
