DON'T BE N A HURRY.

The Board of Public Improvements has been
advised by the local board of the Fifteenth Dis
trict to add the little triangular plots above and
below the intersection Of Broadway and Sixth
ave- to the street space, leaving the statues of
Horace Greeley and William f. Dodge where
they are. 1t may be said without disrespect to
anybody that those efigies are not such artistic
masterpieces that the idea of altering their
present surroundings for the worse is intOler-
able and we surmise that if the scheme pro-
posed by Alderman Oatman encounters strong
opposition 1t will be for the sake of the tri-
angles rather than of the statues. Thus far
not much dsapproval has been manifested,
while some earnest pleas for the change have
been made in consideration Of the congested
traffic at those points. But the Board of Pub
lie Improvements ought not to act hastily in
this matter. Il is not certain that general con-
venence would be largely served by sacrificing
the inclosed spaces, while there would be some
positive loss of a kind which the city can i'll
afford to bear.
Even from the smallest patch of grass and
group of shrubs some relief to the eye and
Tefreshment of spirit can be derived. and in
point of fact we have no doubt that multitude
of persons have gratefully experienced those
effects of the greenery at Thirty-second and
Thfrty-ifth SITS. Our impression is that the
Enclosures ought to be preserved until better
reasons for their conversion to other uses have
been produced.

TIE COMING OF THE FEEPTES.

Lovers of nature have remarked upon the fire.
quency with which the veerie. one of the most
fascinating of song birds. is this year to be
heard in Prospect Park. Day and night his
glorious music is to he heard, almost rs freely
rs in the remote and secluded woodlands in
which that shy thrush makes his customary
home. Elsewhere, in suburban groves and
gardens. the same welcome phenomenon IS
observed, in some cases the veeries becoming
almost as much domesticated as their klnsmen
which we call robins. We know Of no adven-
titious circumstance which can account for II
Certainly there is none in weather or in eli
mate. There are, on the other hand strong
reasons for believing it to be the result of natu-
raj and logical causes, which may be made last
ing In action. This belief is strengthened by
the fact that not only have the veeres thus
come to us, but other choice birds which n few
years back seemed almost extinct such as
orioles tanagers, wrens and larks, have also In
the last year or two returned in far greater
numbers than have been known for half
generation.
This state Of affairs is probably due largely TO
the popular sentiment which has been aroused
and the laws which have been enacted against
the destruction of such birds. We can remem
Der when cunning for robins was as common rs
fishing for trout, and when all other thrushes
WrenS
bluebirds and the rest of them were slaughtered
wholesale, some for food. some for plumaee and
some for sheer love Of killing. Happily the
law now materially interferes with such dev
ltry, and while the slaughter goes on elsewhere
in fashions name the demand for its piteous
products has been considerably diminished by
the cultivation of humane sentiment Some
effect has also been produced by teaching chill
dren better than to rob destroy birds nests
and by encouraging them to cultivate the friend
ship and Intimacy of the feathered tribes
Such good work and should be moin
tained The law should be vigorously enforced
equally against the nest robblng and catapult
welding urchin and against the marketmon
or warehouse proprietor who receives crates
filled with orioles marked "brolers' or "souab 3,

violation of the law is deliberate and malicious

Pennsylvania and Massachusetts seem to dawdle
