A NEW BICYCLE TRACK PROPOSED.
A PLAN TO LAY OUT A PATH on THE WESTERN
BOULEVARD

The first business brought before the Park Com
missioners at their meeting yesterday morning was
the consideration of the bin in the Assembly
providing for the construction OF driveway and
park along the line of the Hudson River from One
hundred and thiry fourth-st. to Onehundred and
forty-nfth-st The subject was presented to the
meeting by Francis NJ. Jencks OF Mount Vernon
Place West He said that the object OF the bill was
not so much to make park as to secure grades
between the Boulevard and the Hudson River
Mayor Strong, Mr.. Jencks reported. wished TO
hear the opinion Of the Park Board before the mat
ter went any further in the Legislature. Mr. Jcncks
submitted map showing the grades.
Commissioner Mcmillan said there was no reason
why the driveway should stop at One-hundred and
forty-ffth-st. 1t was certain that some day there
would be a riverside drive to Spuyten Duyvil Creek
After a brief argument the Commissioners made An
appointment to go over the ground with Mr.. Jcncks
on Saturday next at 3 o'clock p. m.
The report of Captain Collins recommending that
Pelham bay be patrolled by a naphtha launch was
referred TO the Committee Police.
Commissioner Mcmillan offered as motion. ''Tha.
Il is the expression Of this Board that 1t Is desirable
to lay out bicycle track on the ccntrepece OF the
Western Boulevard in the space between the trees
In support of the motion no said that the space
was nj for nothing else. II would give a bicycle
path Il feet wide and would besides relieving the
Boulevard, save life and limb
thought the matter one for the Public Works
Department 10 consider. Commissioner Ely agreed
with him, and the subject was referred to that De-
partmcnt.

The cotton market closed to points higher last

In the opinion of the majority of operators. the
market is not likely TO show any renewed activity
for some time. at least not until something or
positive nature is known regarding the new crop
As the market. however, has practically disccunte?
the expectatoi of 10ec0.cC-bale crop next season.

OF April and May TO bring about any material de-
