he will certainly become valuable member OF
the Commission. But Mr.. Orr's understanding
of the rapid-transit problem Is so complete
and his consequent influence so strong that MS
withdrawal is positive and serious loss which
cannot be soon repaired. If an unforeseen OPP

no doubt 1t would be promptly seized. In inc

of public respect and gratitude.

THE MAYOR AND A PARK.

MAYOR Van Wyck gave his periodic exhiDltioh
of spleen against his predecessor yes'erua!
Since the day he treated the friendly weicome
of Mavor Strong to the City Hall on his Access
sion 10 office with manners BETTING boor ne
has never failed TO improve an occasion TO snow
his coutempt for everything no matter now
meritorious and how little involved in politics.
with which the Strong administration was iden-
tilted Yesterday he had chance to sneer III
the work done in the laying out of small parks,
and he did not let 1t pass.
A bill was before him providing for the open
ing of new small park at Roosevelt, South
and New-Chambers sts site selected by the
Small Parks Commission appointed by Mayor
Strong The district which would thus he re-
deemed and provided with breathing spot Is
the most unhealthy in the city. The death rate
there is double that of the whole city, and it Is
n hotbed Of tuberculosis. The clearing away OF
the old lurking places of disease, and the conse-
uuent space secured for the recreation and re-
lief Of people in the rookeries left standing In
the neghborhood would be an incalculable
blessing But what did His Petulancy care for
the death rate Of the poor people in the tene-
ments, Those that do not die of consumption
he probably thinks, will be forced by the dis
tr.ct leaders to vote the Tammany ticket, any
way For their misery he had not thought
Why should he have? The air ut the Demo
cratic Club is good and Mr.. Croker is enjoying
sea breezes. The idea that this was a plan
that had been proposed by reformers was like a
red rag 10 bull. and the Mayor went off into
believing about the "impertinence' Of reform
ers in daring to go on pushing their schemes
The merits of the schemes were not Of the
slightest Importance That they were devised by
the Strong administration and came to him in a
bill passed by the Legislature was enough to
arouse his wrath.
What a large-sze statesman what a friend OF
the people this Mayor Van Wyck is.

ups rIsK,s SONG RECITAL.

Mrs Katharine Fisk. who took up her residence
in New-York last year. and has been received with
great favor by the lovers Of unaffected singing
gave a recital Of songs in Mendelssonn Hall yes
terday afternoon for the benefit OF the Metropoii-
tan Hospital and Dispensary. Mrs FISK Is con-
tralto. with sufficiently EXTENDED range OF voice
70 enable her 70 choose her pieces from very
large repertory indeed. and yesterday she covered
the field all the way from eighteenth-century airs
to the sentimental ballads Of group OF Amer
lean writer's one OF whom Gerrit Smith accom-
panied her in his own composition. The others
were Chadwick. Brownell. Brewer and Hastings
She also sang a group of French songs by saint
saens and Chaminade. and in the original German
Rrahmss dainty 'Sandmannchen." The beauty OF
Mrs Flsks voice especially OF the low tones when
enforced and the delightful distinctness OF her
enunciaton were much In evidence all through the
recital which had but one drawback-a want OF
dramatic variety in expression.
