VANDALISM IN CENTRAL PARK.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
sir: Visitors 10 the Park hardly fail TO have
noticed the injury done to many Of the trees, mostly
willows and poplars. by the practice Of Topping oig
their tops and lower branches. leaving little more
than their unsghtly stumps to dishgure the landscape
What makes the practice the deplorablc Is that the
trees are often selected for this wholesale mll
uatiOn. The group of willows bordering the lower
lake, the boat landing, once notable for Its cN-
guisite beauty, has been mcrclcSsly shorn OF every
Sestigc Of It's former lovclnes> other parts OF the
Park not less admired in the past have received
similar treatment ut the hands of It's custodans. and
II is about time that the public should be heard In
protest against practice utterly indefenslble and
destructive Of what nature and art have combined 10
render so beautiful. W. C,
