BREACHES OF RIVERSIDE WALL
WHY NOT ONE EVERY BLOCK FOR
EVERY FISHING CLUBe
Hustiing the Work on the Cross.cut to
the Columbia Yacht Club House So ~
TO Finish II While Tammsny stll
Adninisters the pa rtxs Co nhit 9in gIy .

Hustling the Work on the Cross.cu to
the Colurbia Yacht Club House So n
TO Finish II While Tammany stnl
Administers the Parks So Obligingly.
The work OF making a breach in the
parapet wall Of the Riverside Drive at
Eighty-sixth street was practically finished
yesterday. Although the rustic stair
case from the opening down the lawn Of
tho park to the Columbia Yacht Clubs
private bridge was not completed, the work
had reached stage when II was safe for
the clubs members TO use the new short
cut to their clubhouse on the waterfront.
A small army Of Park Department en-
ployees were busy on the job yesterday.
Apparently President Clausen is taking
no chances on leaving any part Of the work
to his successor on the Park Board who
will take office in about twenty days Mr..
Lows appointee might not look with favor
on the undertaking. He may even decide
when he gets in that the marring OF SO
substantial a feature Of the park and drive
way as this massive, ornamental wall for
Of the authority conferred on the Commis-
sioner of Parks for Manhattan and Rich
mond. II Is even possible that he may
restore the we'll TO its original form and
tear down the rustic staircase.
The break in the wall and the rustic stair
case were evidently undertaken to remedy
a defect in the plans Of the experts who
designed the drive and park. When these
plans were prepared, more than twenty
wears ago, no provisions whatever were
made for the convenience Of the Columbia
Yacht Club. This oversight was prob
ably due 70 the fact that the Columbia
Yacht Club had not been born. But the
club is there now and the defect In the
original plans becomes apparent when 1t
is pointed out that under them the members
had to go two blocks out of their way,
sometimes in very warm weather, In order
TO reach their handsome new clubhouse,
for the site Of which they pay rent to the
city.
There was only one way to correct the
fault in the design. That waF TO knock
down part Of the parapet wall and build
a stairway direct 20 the clubs private
bridge, thirty or more feet below. Mr..
Clausen evidently grasped tho situation
when the blunder in the plans was pointed
out TO him. The breach In the wall and
the rustic staircase may be regarded 10y
future generations, IL IL said, as the crown
ing achievements of his administration.
Not even the Spate chair contract, experts
declared yesterday, can dim their glory.
There are dozen or more yacht clubs,
bathing houses and boat HveTies along
the West Side waterfront from Seventy
second to I29th street. Entrance to all
Of them can he gained only by the round
about paths and inconvenient stairways
established by fussy landscape architects.
Break after break can be made In the wall
Staircase after staircase (rustic preferred)
can be built on the lawns until entrances
TO the waterfront will be as direct as though
all the adjoining streets had been cut
through the park.

The Rebekah Ball.

Last Wednesday evening was the night set for the masquerade ball given by the Rebekah Lodge of this city. It was first planned as Hallow Fen ball, but because of the prevalence in our city of an infectious disease, 1t was postponed from that date to the 10th inst. The people of the community realizing the danger to the children from the spread of such disease, were unanimous in expressions of approval, when it was known that the ball had been postponed, and for that reason were very anxious that the ball should be a success when given.
 So it was that on last Wednesday evening, Armory Hall was crowded with people to take part and witness the pleasures of the dance.
 The old man of the News office went early so as to miss none of the fun, and was meet at the door by Bros. Raymond and Stevens, who, by the way, are de- serving of much credit for the heroic efforts they made to have everything done properly. Some committees are negligent of their duties, but these gentlemen are of the working kind As we said we went early and took a seat near the orchestra. Our inability to dance does not detraet from our enjoy ment, in the least.
 Pretty soon in came sailor, dressed in navy blue, with the ugliest face on him that it was ever our pleasure to witness. He sidled up near the stove and sat down in an awkward attitude to await developments. The next ob- ject of curiosity was little bunch of a girl all in white, with red roses in her hair and on her dress. Then came a pair of big ugly fellows with the gown of a monk and the face of prizef1ghter. Then they came in punches, lady, a snow ball, Southern gent, sporty Englishman, three negroes, Rain in the Face, Irish gent, newspaper man all ragged and worn marked Juneau, Pop Corn girl, Uncle Sam, Red Riding Hood, two clowns, a little early riser, Three Little Girls in Blue, the Goddess of Liberty, etc, etc., but the thing that created the most excitement was the advent of the two pair of Katzenjammer Kids, their mama wasn't there. Two pulled the little wagon in which the third rode, while No. followed behind and applied the gad to the spirited team.
 Prof. MiIIer's orchestra furnished the music and everything moved along pleasantly. At 11:3O the masks were removed and then, with an inteTnfs- sion for supper. the dancing continued until a. m.
