marked John Boyd as he turned his roam
trotter into the crowded wagon sheds at
McDonald's road house at Bergen Point
yesterday. The same expression was
heard from hundreds of persons who
were speeding their bl soded horses yester-
day. 1t was a summer day and 1t had
arrived to soon for the sprInkling cart
man to lay The dust, and the warm west
wind blew it into the faces of allfi could
reach with apparent delight ut the an

subsit tute for red paint. and but few or
the pa le-faced shop clerks, when they re-
turned from their ramhles along Airing
ton aud Gar field avenues ever bore so
striking a resemblance to The copper
colored lndian before.
But for all that everyone appeared to
be happy and all basKed in the sunshine
with all the content OF the black snake
when he makes his first appearance after
a winters seclusion. Thousands of peo-
ple were out. The promenaders, Young
fellows and their best girls, chose Pail
SADIE avenue for their ram bles, and many
walked as far as Union Hill and viewed
the war ships that yet remain at anchor
in the noble Hudson.
wHEELMEN's RUN.
Bicyclists preferred the southern course
| and tney rolled their wheels down Gar
field avenue occasionally. giving a trotter
some very hard work to keep pace with
| them. Those who walled on this avenue
| stouped mt the New York Bay Cemetery
| and wandered through the shaded walks
| and down by the bay, where they Ian
| guidly watched the panorama Gu the
water. Many yachts were observed SKIM
| ming the water before the strong breeze
| aud some of these were filters from this
| city. The jersey City and Pavonia Yacht
Clubs both had some of their craft in
| commission. and their owners and friends
were taking advantage of the day for an
| outing. From the cemetery could be OBJ
| served many excursion and Coney Island
boats, all of which were crowded by peo-
pie delighted at the opportunity 60 leave
the dry and impure atmosphere OF the
| city for the fresh and invigorating breeZes
from the ocean.
On the Newark bay shore, Dick Ulrich
| did a a great business. Every one of his
one hundred boats were continually in
use, and mis- supply was inadequate to
meet the demand. Some few men
| INDUCED in a swim also. but the water
many.
The Jersey City & Bergen street cars
did Il thriving business ali day, aud when
the cars left the ferry they were generally
filed. The same may be said Ct the
| North Hudson County Railways. Every
llue carried crowded ears aud the ferry
| from New York to Weehawken did as
much business yesterday as it did on any
one day last year.
IN PARKS ON ROADS.
Eldorado Park was also III high feather.
| About 5000 people attended the concert,
and wandered about the beautiful
| grounds, cool and comfortable, and from
| the cliff viewed the Palisades, New York
| City. the Hudson liver and New York
bay. It was delightful at that place
yesterday. No dust. no heat. no hurry
| and push, good music, splendid refresh
ments and courteous treatment were
enough to satisfy the most exacting.
Schuetzen Park was also open TO the
| public aud many wandered through the
grounds, but the management had not
prepared for an influx OF visitors and bu
little was had by the visitors except he
welcome shade from the trees. The
Castle WAS open, but that was The only
refreshment stand that did business III
the Park yesterday.

three routes to drive In, the principal one
being over the Brooklyn Boulevard TO
Coney Island, the ssecond to the club
house at the Guttenoefg track and the
