FINE LACES
AND THEIR HISTORY.

Little is known of the origin of the art
of lace-making. Back of the early
part of the fifteenth century it's diff
cult to trace laces. In the Renaissance
period of the sixteenth century laceS
began to appear under ecclesiastical
and royal patronage in Italy. Then
France seemed to follow, then Belgium
and then the industry seemed to be-
come general.
The "Point rAiguille," "POint de
Venise,o "Point de France" " Point
Vermicelli," Point de Malinc," " Point
d'Espagne," "Point de Gene" Point
de Marly,n "Point Gaze" Chantilly,"
"Duchesse,r "Moresque" and Arab
esque" were the favorite makes. We
keep and shall show Monday a faith
full reproduction of all these exquisite
creations, which were copied and made
for us from the original handmade
ones. Ours, as can be readily demon
strated, are equally perfect and regu-
lar. Imported them direct, and can
name very moderate prices for them.
The extras in the Lace Department
Monday will be:
Lots Of Trimming Laccs, in cotton. linen and silk,
consisting Of Torchon, Oriental, Macrame, Cham
tilly, Spanish, Spanish Guipurc, real Guipure,
Moresoue &c. at Sc. &C., Sc. coo. 2Jc. yard :;

The discon5Olate holders Of ferry stock who looked
upon the opening OF the Bridge as marking the END
Of dividends and the necessity OF Guiding down en-
penses have lived to see the error Of their ways
That would seem 70 be the easy inference from the
art that the Union Ferry Company hsys Just launched
a new steel ferryboat, which Is to Be put on the
Hamilton Ferry and the report that they arc
satisfied with the working Of the new vessel they
will order two more like It In the near future. An
other indication 10 the same effect was supplied by
the appointment Of a superintendent few months
ago 1t takes ferry company long time to learn
the signs and demands Of the tine. Some years ago
the Union Company, with its i've ferries, was con-
sidered the model organization Of the hnd. But ~
has allowed Itself TO DO surpassed by one az iea' OF
the North River companies. and its service mas IN
several respects been far from satisfactory NOW u
IS showing commcndable desire TO do better. ono
thing Is certain that n spite Of the Bridge the ferry
business Is paying business and that though other
bridges be built in the future, the ferry companies
are not likely TO GO into liquidation for several gen
erationS vet There IS business enough for bridges
and ferries both and no wise ferry company viii

Park Commissioner somers has beer noted for gro
trsone ideas ever since he manifested such marked
desire 20 open vstas' among the hne forest trees In
Prospect Park His latest notion IS one that IS sure
TO arrest attention. He proposes that day should 30
set apart for military display and other ceremonies at
Battle Pass In the Park, where the Battle OF Long
Island was fought IN 177s and that August % OF
this year a white oak be planted there In commemor'
alton Of the Dongau oak which cut down to bar
rIeade tho Pass during the battle. Everybody knows
that August ~ b no ht time to plant white oak or
ary other sort of tree but Mr. Soners Is equal 70 ne
occasion His idea Is to SGT out dummy tree, which
will aus wer for the time being and later on to put the
ae proper in It's place In the language OF the rso-
Iuuon The tree used to be replaced BY one In cola
weather when It viii grow No further comment IS
needed. This remarkable project speaks for Itself.
II nav he added that It was accepted by Mr.. somers's
asa ociates and there Is no reason TO suppose that
val not bs carried out Probably Mr. Somers suffers
