BERNHARDT WRITES.
Some Of Her Valuable Suggestions About
the Chief American City.

the Chief American City.
Nine. Sarah Bernhardt has written what
she thinks of the Greater New York
idea. The great French actress is one OF
the most widely travelled and thought
fully obseryant women of the present
generation. In the following statement
she tells over her own signature exactly
what she believes ought to be done:
Enlarge York? But that would be
foolish. A city is not great by reason Of
the extent Of Its area; 1t is great because
OF its beauty, its monuments, Its statues
and It's intellectual activity.
II is generally believed in Europe that
New York is the capital of North America.
Foreigners find a difficulty in under
standing that there is really no capital in
America. Therefore, one is little disap-
pointed on arriving in New York at the
aspect OF what one has regarded as the
capital of the country. The city is large,
but not beautiful as whole. and ii Is
certain that traveller Is more struck with
the calm, If little sad, beauty OF Boston;
by the admirable thoroughfares of that
dead and sleeping city that is called
Washington, by the extraordinary posi-
ton OF Chicago on the edge of magnificent
Lake Michigan.
When landed in America tor the first
tlIuC, 10 ftttS hkO, SO1lu bttiCNO
that was in New York. The part which
saw first was disfigured by shanties and
mud, the streets were badly paved and
the houses Irregular. Since then the city
has made a truly prodigious advance, but
1t has yet much to do to become the
place looked for by the foreigner.
That extraordinary but horrible "Ele-
vated" ruins the finest part of the city. i
prefer very strongly the arrangement OF
Park avenue with its railroad covered
with flower beds. This avenue i even
envy for Paris; for we have there also our
railroad of the ceinture, bur II is not
hidden as in Park avenue, and Iregret IT..
IL is delightful, this avenue, delightful,
provided Mon Dieu, that they do not
pull il down to build houses of twelve
stories. They are horrors, these houses
They are crime against the sun, against
common sense, against good taste.
When there are houses of IL and Is
stories on each side of q street Ii Will be
an alley as dark as Venetian street,
but without the. charm and architectural
beauty OF the latter.
Architects would do better service IL
they built houses of reasonab BILE size and
handsome architecture. There are hardly
SOC houses In New York which are beau
tiful. Every. time that i come to New
York l am made really i'll by seeing an
enormous house leaning against very
small one. The whole street looks to De
lame, and j always want to present
crutch to the little house or gullotine the
big one. But hurry to the few beautiful
houses that know of, and am pleased
to think that some day all New York will
be like them. 1t will take a long time,
however, for here everybody seems to
live for himself. The charm OF seeing
beautiful and harmonious things escapes
the American people. They have desire
for the beautiful, but they are too
hurried to create it; they prefer to buy
1t ready made. =. Tnis is not possible to

city, and for that reason think that.
instead OF enlarging New York, IL would
be better to beautify 1t, to ennoble 1t.
When Brooklyn has been added TO New
York IL will make 80 much the more
territory. but that is all. Paris is not
large, but 1t is delightful, and the for.
eigner who has once visited that city OF
charm and gayety dreams thenceforth Of
nothing but Paris.
And yet our river is rivulet by the
side Of the wonderful stream which flows
by New York. Our trees are smaller and
less vigorous, but art Is every where tri-
umphant and sovereign, and the harmony
OF the avenues, OF the houses, OF the
monuments, give TO the city an,incompar-
New York. i know that we are an old
people, and that Paris is a very old city,
but what We take twenty years TO DO tbe
Americans do in twenty months. New
York, young as ii is, Should have already
q fine cathedral few handsome monu-
menrs, squares with flower beds, great
national theater, and other statues. Ah 4!
the statues OF New York are a horror.
There is in front OF the Standard Thea
ter, think, almost under the elevated,
the statue OF gentleman sitting down.
1t Is a nightmare for me and for him too,
poor gentleman; for he drops his head
and his arms with discouraged air
which seems to say: "Must remain all
my life.in bronze like tnis?" All! 1t is
pitiful
In reality al, this is no business OF mine,
but give you my opinion because you
ask it, and then i adore this country. /
shall never return to it perhaps, but ! am
grateful TO IL for the reception which II
has given me the four times that visited
Ii. i wish II 10 be Rs beautiful as II Is
great, as charming as IL is strong

BROWN oyERrRArNrp.

The first change that has been made in
the makeup OF the Yale Henley crew for
over a month was made yesterday. Alex
ander Brown OF Philadelphia at No. 2
has been in poor condition for n week
past. He has been overworking himself
inasmuch as he has been training for the
shot event In the athletic trials and train
ing for the crew M we'll. As might be
expected this resulted In dead case OF
entertaining and IL was found necessary
TO substitute Payne Whitney at No. 2.
IL is not expected that the change will
prove permanent, as Brown should brace
up after few days rest. His loss would
be q serious one, as he is the strongest
man In the boat. The loss of Browns
services TO the crew, however, is not
worrying the undergraduates SO much
as the effect 10 will have on Yale's chance
for the intercollegiate championship next
Saturday. He announced last night that
he would not enter.
Since the graduation of Hickok, Brown
has been Ysle's mainstay in the shot. lie
is good for aft. 6in. and with this Yale
expected TO win. Sheldon 10 now the
best man, but he cannot do better than
40ft Gin.

The final decision of Caspar Whitney Of
New York, TO whom as arbitrator was
referred disagreement between Pennsyl-
vania and Harvard over the eligibility
of players for the football games between
these universities, has been received.
Mr.. Whitney decided that George III.
Brooks, the Pennsylvania full back, is
eligible. but he debars Carl Williams, the
quarterback and Captain OF last years
Pennsylvania eleven, from taking part
in the game.
Following are the lines laid down in
his preliminary decision. Mr.. Whitney
specified the institutions which, I'm his
judgment, bear the same relation toward
Pennsylvania in an athletic sense as do
the large New England preparatory
schools toward Harvard.
The designation refers only to the pres
ent year, and the list given to Mr.. Whit
ney includes Swartmore, at which insti-
tuition Brooks was a student before he.en-
tered Pennsylvania, but It does not in
clude Operlin, where Williams came
from.
Mr.. Whitney's letter was directed to
Professor Joseph Beale, Jr., and Dr. j.
William White.
