A BOOKLET ABOUT HOLLAND.

Interest In Holland has been greatly stimulated
by the attention that the whole world gave to the
accession Of the little Queen Wilhelmlna 10 tho
throne last September. and II will be still further
stimulated by the meeting of the International
Peace Commission at The Hague. beginning on May
49, For this reason a little booklet by DR.. James
IL. Gore. professor OF mathematics and geology at
Columbia University will be particularly welcome
TO those who are thinking OF going 10 Holland
either to study that singuarly picturesque corner
OF Europe or to make 1t a starting point OF a.
European journey. Professor Gore is thoroughly
familiar with Holland. not only with the outward
aspect OF the country. but with the spirit OF its
people, and his descriptions OF both full OF vivid
and characteristics touches. He took his camera
with him on recent visit. and the result Is seen
IN many charming half-tone pictures giving views
from all parts OF the country. that are ceyer!y
introduced into the text. and there Is perhaps no
part OF Europe that lends Itself better this form
OF representa- tion. The booklet will interest stay
at-homes. but is especially deserving OF the atte-
ton or those seeking information about Holland
for the practical purpose of visiting the country

PROPERTY OWNERS SAY THERE WAS NEEDLESS
DEsTRUCrIoN-THE DEPARTMENTS
EXPLANATION

The recent cutting down OF several hundred of
the large old trees in Riverside Park by order Of
the Park Department has brought forth loud pro-
tests from the people who live along the park
They say that 1t was not necessary to fell the
trees, and that they received unfair treatment be-
cause the work went speedily that the trees
were all gone before they had chance TO got to-
gether and send In organized protest.
The Department gave contracts for cutting down
the trees in two parts of the park TO make room
for planting young trees. The householders in the
neighborhood of the park contend that only few
trees were dead, and that the rest fine old
specimens, which ought to have stayed. Winthrop
Parker who lives at No. 81 West Ninetieth-st
sent letter Of protest to the Mayor a few days
ago. and another one to George c. Cleusen, Park
Commissioner.
MY letters represented the views Of large num-
Der Of people" he said to Tribune reporter yes
terday I'VE need the trees for their shade. When
the sun crosses the meridian and begins to beat
down the Hudson, the hot glare that Is reflected
against our houses is most uncomfortable and our
only protection is these great shade trees 1 think
the trees were rule, in good condition, with
only few dead branches. and they ought to have
been spared Why. the stump Of one tree that was
cut down showed by its rings that 1t was a hun
dred years old and in good condition. There were
many others just fine"
The contractors kept cutting the trees, how
ever. and now they are all gone. Mr. Parker re-
ceived letter from the Park Department yester-
day morning, which said in part:
Some of these dying trees were affected by old
age, and were 30 rotten in the crowns that they
constituted source OF danger to visitors as large
branches dropped off during windy days without
the slightest warning. Others of the trees were In
such condition that their lives could not possibly
be preserved for more than two three Years at
the utmost. This because their trunks were
buried deep in the embankments some years ago
during the work Of grading
1t was further necessary to look ahead and pro-
vide FOR the future In undertaking so extensive n
Work or planting as that now going on. II these
dying or dead trees were left at this time they
would have TO be felled within three years or they
would fall themselves. In either most of the
new plantations would be destroyed by their re-
moVal. For every dead and dying tree renewed
TINS spring hundred new, vigorous trees will be
planted and residents Of the neghborhood OF Riv-
erslde Park are confidently assured that nothing
to be done that Will possibly inture tho park"

II was learned from OF the officers OF the
