Park commissioners particular fits and often go
to the Arsenal and make silly complaints about
this: that, or the Other. We pay little attention
great many nynf funny things. Su 't there aea is 1e very
little disorderly conduct in Central Park
when one stops to consider that thousands of
all sorts and conditions Of men. women, and
children come here every day. The Park seems
to have a refining influence. Very few really
disorderly persons come here. and II they do
they generally behave. There is something
about the grass and trees and birds and flowers
and pure atmosphere that puts them on their
good behavior"
How many officers arc there on the Park
force o. asked the reporter.
1--WE have 3O7 officers. answered a Sergeant,
besides one surgeon. an ambulance driver. and
detectives. The men work eight hours
daily. and are subject to extra duty. Promotion
Is very slow in the Park Department. for there
are few vacancies. Unless some one dies or re-
tires prospects for n rise arc not bright. We
have all sorts Of curious experiences. but after
we have a pretty good time. We are out
here very near to natures heart. and through
our contact with all these queer people we get
about as close to human nature. What more
