CENTRAL PARK BETrERMENTs.
Changes Pailas Has Made and Others
which He Hopes to Undertake.

Many improvements have been made at
Central Park in the summer just ended.
The drives reconstructed were the East
Drive, from Scholars Gate to the Marble
Arch; Centre Drive. from the Bronze Eagle
to the Webster statue and the West Drive,
from Fifty-ninth street entrance to Eighty
first street.
These drives we're scraped and then
covered with six or eight inches of Roa
Hook gravel, making smooth, even SUR
face with good drainage.
By the construction Of new concrete
asphalt cutters and the raising of the drives
at the quarters, an additional width Of
six feet was gained.
Commissioner Pallas has asked the Board
OF Estimate for enough money to improve
other drives in the same way.
Among the other noticeable Improve
ments are the constructing Of new lawns
by the laying Of sod and general resurfac-
ing with mould or garden soil. Nearly
500 900 square feet Of new sod has been
laid.
A new rustic stairway takes the place Of
the old ono at the foot OF Eighty sixth
street at Riverside Drive.
Other changes ordered by the Com
missioner include the constructing OF a
new walk system at the block house at
10th street, near Seventh avenue; the
building Of an entrance walk at Ninety
thid street and Central Park West, and the
erection of new buildings In the menagerie

an absolute divorce from the plaintiff in
1897. he paid the alimony regularly until

failing to pay the alimony, but Justice
Herrick vacated the order on the ground
that the Sheriff could not make the arrest
outside Of the county Of Kings.

BUFFALO. n. Y, Sept. 24.-Frank c. Aus
tin Of Medina, Orleans county, a member
of the firm OF Austin d Day, proprietors
of big storage plant, died early this morn

which he received in a mysterious way last

Austin volunteered to guard the plant
last night while the regular Waterman.
William James, and Austn's son, Floyd.
went to see play. When the men returne
to the storage house about II o'clock
they noticed that all the electric lights
were out. Austin was nowhere to be
seen. He was afterward found lying on
the top Of the freight elevator, which had
been let down to the basement. A bicycle
had fallen or had been thrown down upon
him.
An investigation OF the storage plant
showed that the gates to the elevator shaft
were shut, and that the windows and outer
doors were closed. 1t IL thought that
some one had been in the building and fast
ened the gates after Austin had fallen down
the shaft. No explanation can be given OF
the presence OF the bicycle, 1t is supposed
that tramps probably got into the build-
ing to ass the night and assaulted Austin
in their endeavors to escape.

RACING AUTO BOAT .ABLAZE.


perience and Got II In Full Measure,
William Wallace, q Boston enthusiast
on automobile racing came here to witness
the auto boat races for the Challenge cup,
held on the Hudson River by the Columbia
Yacht Club. He enthused considerably
about auto boat racing and was anxious
to have a little experience steering one
OF those racing machines in contest.
He steered the Macaroni in the race yester-
day and had all the experience he anted.
The Macaroni was one OF ten boats that
started from off the foot Of West Eighty
sixth street to race up the river as far as
Ardsley and back. Before the Macaroni
reached the turning mark feed pipe con-
Meeting the gasolene tank with the cylinder
broke and the gasolene caught fire. The
boat was destroyed, and Wallace end
Louis Stempfer, the mechanician, were
rescued by launch which was sent from
a steam yacht which CHANGED to be near.
The Macaroni which is a mahogany
boat. built from des igns by W. Startling
Burgess of Boston, started sixth in the
race She is an odd-looking craft and
was well decke ed in for ward. 80 that water
had little chance of getting to her engines.
She is 81. IL feet long on the waterlipe is
fitted with a +0.Ss horss-po wer motor Of
Italian make, and under the rule rates at
eS, 10. She is owned by c. H. Tangeman
and " as entered in the race from the
Atlantic Yacht Club.
The Macaroni is fast boat and she
started of we'll, and when near the turning
mark she had gained considerably on the
boats ahead of her. The Mercedes, owned
by H. l.. Bowden of Boston, was just ahead.
Mr.. Bowden was steering this boat when
his mechanician announced that the boat
astern was on fire.
Mr.. Bowden at once turned back to the
rescue. Flames were belching up from
the Macaroni arnidships; Mr.; Wallace was
astrde the bow Of the boat holding on as
long as the thought possible, and Stempfer
was in similar position at the stern Of the
boat. The Macaroni had about fifteen
gallons OF gasolene on board and those
on the Mercedes expected to see her blow
up every minute.
In the mean time the fire had been seen
by those on shore and a launch was sent out
A white steam yacht which happened to
be nearer than any other lowered launch,
which was quickly alongside the burning
auto boat and took Mr.. Wallace and Louis
Stempfer Off They were landed safely
at Dobbs Ferry and returned to the city
by train.
The Maoaroni was totally destroyed.
William Wallace recently purchased a
90 horse power automobile which is entered
to compete for the Vanderbilt cup on Long
Island on Oct. 10. At Boston last week
he ran his automobile into tree. but did
nothing more serious than take a wheel
off He has raced several times and has
been in number OF accidents. but never
seems TO lose his nerve. His friends say
that he will probably have an auto boat
built now to show that he has not been
ecarcd
