The swindlng operatl tlons of Ferdinand Ward.
one of the so-called ''Napoleons of Finance"

market place that he make men rich with

of listeners. The shell game. the "greengoods

A FINE ROAD I'LL USED.

There are few if any finer city roads in the
world. in design and scope, than the great
Ocean Parkway. in BROOKLYN. with It's seven
fold maths running unbroken from Prospect
Park TO the ocean beach at Coney Island Ana
There Is probably not another such road that is
SO selfishy and contemptuously i'll used In
nlan If consists OF two footpaths, two cycle
mathis n road for business wagons, road for
horseback riding and broad central pleasure
drive As matter of fact, the latter two are
largely sacrificed TO the selfish uses of profes-
sional or semi-professonal horse racers as
adjuncts 70 their racetracks.
The bride road is in admirable condition for
its proper use. But il is also i'm equally good
| condition for the exercising of racehorses under
the saddle. and also of light harness racers,
! and Il is safe to say that il is used by ten
| times rs many such true equestrians. Indeed.
| il is no uncommon sight TO see equestrians TAX
| ing the central road. on the hard macadam, be-
cause they are literally crowded out Of their own
proper road by the throngs of jockeys. stable
boys and racehorses from the nearby tracks
! As for the great central driveway. its plight is
1 still more deplorable. The first two miles so
from the park is all right. But then comes a
mile and half which has been converted into
a speedway Instead OF being macadamzed.
This part of the road is covered with clay and
loan. Such roadbed Is admirable for racing
purposes, bur is not good for general driving,
because il is almost certain to be either muddy
or dusty. Moreover. the racing OF horses at
full speed makes it, especially on Sundays and
saturdays when IL is thronged. unsafe road
for family carriages and ordinary driving.
Finally. the remainder of the central driveway.
from Kings Highway 10 the beach, has been
made. and is purposely kept practically inn
passabe 10 eli bur the very ighfest vehicles in
order that its surface Of soft sand. fetIock deep

1t is an abominable thing that it should be

thing. but il shonld be constructed apart from

enjoy their Sunday racing in the comparative
secusion of their park much as they
now do under the eyes of the thousands along
the Ocean Parkway. But il does not seem
right that thousands of other drivers should he
either crowded off their favorite public drive
or be put in serious danger of accident simply
TO give a few gentlemen chance publicly to
show off their fast horses and display their own
skill nj driving. As for the of the southern
two miles of the drive as exercising ground
for the racetrack nags. a stop should be put to
that abuse at once. That part of the road
should be macadamized, that north of the
speedway is. and business traffic of all kinds
should be barred off, as it should also be-save

from the bride road at the east And profes-

Suppose few dozen racehorses from Morris
Park were brought down TO Central Park or
Riverside Drive and exercised daily on the
bride roads. would there not be an outcry
against it? Or suppose two miles of Riverside
Drive were covered with three inches of sand
in order to make it fit for the exercising of
racers. would not the public of Manhattan
object? The Ocean Parkway is equally public
park property. and should with equal strictness

the training of racehorses is not one.
