CHEsTNUTTlNG IN PROSPECT Park
There are hundreds Of chestnut trees in Prospect
Park, and about this tIme Of year the boys and
g,rls Of BROOKLYN look for harvest OF nuts. But
The proportion of nutterS 10 nuts Is 80 large that

CAUTION TO VISITORS
Visitors ave permitted 20 gather nuts and leaves from
to ground M the woods ot c Park hut forbidden
O. climb of shake the trees, q" 10 throw sucks or stones
among 'he branches.
A TrIBUNE reporter " ho walked through the
Park Yesterday found few chestnuts to reward his
search under several trees. 1ne grass under all of
them however had been closely troddcn down by
MANY feet and looked brown and Worn. Under nearly
every tree one or more boys men were seen care
fully scanning the ground and starting eagerly for
ward when chestnut was seen or heard TO tall.
The cbesuuts are smaller than usual this year, but
most of tie trees were seen to have many burs on
them. Usually it takes sharp frost 10 crack the
burs and make the nuts orOp easily. There
has been no frost 80 far this faii, however, and
eomparatiVclv few of the buGs are cracked open.
The nigh wind of the previous day had blown down
most OF tie nuts that were ready II iail and con-
