rHE RAMS REMOVED.

The figures Of the two rams that
have stood so many years at the en-
trance to Eden Park have been re-
moved. They had stood there at least
seventy-fve years. An old legend
connected with the rams has it that
every night at 12 o'clock they bleat like
sheep. Another story is that on certain
nights the rams would come down from
their perches, take a stand in the mid
die of the road and accost persons who
happened that way. and it is said that
young men who had to pass the park
from calling on their sweethearls
would walk a mile to escape the COM
pany of the rams.

DANGEROUS APPROACHES.
THIRD STREET BRIDGE HAS NO
SAFETY GATES ~ ACCIDENTS
LIKELY TO OCCUR.

The approaches at Third street bridge
are OF the most dangerous character.
There Is probably-xnore traffic across it
than any other bridge in the city. Be.
sides there are two lines cf electric rail-
ways over which cars are passing every
five minutes.
There are no safety gates at either
end Of the bridge, nor anything else to
prevent persons from walking over
board or teams from going too close. A
few days ago the catches OF the bridge
were released as an electric car was ap-
preaching. The wind caught the bridge
and it began to move. The motorman
saw the movement, fortunately, and an
accident was avoided
Safety gates could be placed at the
approaches at a small cost, which would
probably prevent loss Of life.
