PTRLIC PLAYGROTNDE.

There is undoubted merit in the suggestion Of
the Civic Union in its letter 10 the Mayors
Playground Commission that the control of the
city's Fairgrounds be placed in the hands Of a
permanent commission. AS the ease stands now,
most Of the Fairgrounds are ranked as small
parks and are under the authority OF the Park
Commissioner. The Park Department takes lit
tie interest in them. II regards them apparent
ly as side issue, ASSOCIATED from the main
purpose of the department and perhaps some
what of a nuisance. The result is that the most
has not been made Of them.
On the other hand. some Of the Fairgrounds
are situated in what are primarily parks. The
golf links in Van Cortlandt, Pelham Bay and
Forest parks for example, and the baseball,
tennis and athletic fields in the various parks
are primarily Fairgrounds. Is the Park Depart
ment TO retain control Of the public amusement
features in the larger parks, while the admin
istration Of the small parks. which are chiefly
If not wholly Fairgrounds, is 10 be under a
separate authorityf This would he illogical and
perhaps would lead 10 a mistaken conception OF
the purposes of the larger parks. And, again. 10
put the golf links and polo field in Van Cortandt
Park, for instance, in the hands of a public
amusements commission. while the rest of the
park remained under the control OF the Park De
partment. would result in complications. Some
thing like that has been done I'm Crotona Park,
and il is doubtful if the results are all that could
be desired.
This whole subject Of intelligent administra-
tion Of the Fairgrounds and the play features Of
the great parks deserves thorough consideration
Their administration is at present in very IN
satisfactory state The cure may he an addi-
tional commission. IT may lie i'm opening the
eyes Of the Park Department and inspiring it
with a new spirit.

Such extraordinary precipitation consid-
cradle part of the country east of the Mississippi
has just received seldom occurs anywhere ex-
cept accompaniment Of a disturbance
originating in the tropics While The hurricane
season has already opened. however. it does not
appear that the storm which drenched this re-
gion came from the Gulf of Mexico or the Carib-
bean Sea. In the introduction TO the forecasts
issued by the Washington Weather Bureau on
Monday night it was referred to as "the storm
from the Northwest" In spite OF the astonish-
ing dOwnpOur therefore. IL is evidently to be
classed with disturbances which at this time Of
year cross the country from west TO east near the
Canadian frontier and which rarely develop spe-
cia violence. Part OF it's effect. too. may safely
be attributed TO the rather eccentric course
which the centre OF the storm followed AS IL
kept TO the south of the metropolis while work
ing its way out To sea. chilling northeasterly
winds prevailed here instead OF the southerly
breezes which would have been felt had the nor
NAL path from the lower lakes to the ST. Law
renee Valley been adhered 20. Moreover. as the
deviation was probably the result Of some OBJ
stacle in front OF the storm tan unusually OBJ
stinate area of high atmospheric pressure). the
progress OF this disturbance seems 10 have been
retarded. and the prevalence OF the conditions to
which IL gave rise was much prolonged For
many weeks the farmers OF New York. New Jer
sey and New England have suffered greatly from
drouth Some of the crops which would have
been benefited by moderate showers I'm June and
July have either been gathered the yield having
been much diminished. virtually ruined
SO abRIpt has been the change and so great has
been this weeks precipitation that possibly more
harm than good has been done 20 the farm prod
ucts which had survived.

at times ravng, was put to bed in his tent. and
all night Banning watched beside him.
OF course, it overwork and sun, so he re-
peated to himself, as he listened to the wildly
deTious cries and visions of the sick man. After
awhile the opiates Banning gave, took effect, and
Grendon seemed to quiet into sleep. His friend
however still sat awake thinking Was it sun?
And if not, what it? He knew Grendon to
be absolutely sober man, familiar with the
climate, and acquainted with the dangers added
to it by alcohol Also he in good
physical condition. Under his direction and Nor
quoy's care, the camp nearly hygienic as
it possible to keep it, and this was not the

of the Indian carriers had told Banning that
the gods of the Mayas were indignant at the desc
Grafton of their temples and would smite the
desecrator with madness? Why should the heads
OF the expedition in succession be the ones al
hicted? Sorely puzzled, troubled and suspicious,
Banning went to the door of the tent to breathe
the fresh air. 1t was long after midnight and
very still. Suddenly, and noiselessly, he saw the
flap of Norquoy's tent open, and the tall figure OF
its owner seemed to glide out of the crack and
disappear into the night Banning listened and
watched, but no sound rewarded hlm Inere was
no reason why Norquoy should not go out If he
chose, and yet, Banning said nothing at all about
it to him the next morning.
UT HATEVER had been the cause of GrendOns at

dawn. He was shaky, and complained of headache
but pooh-pOohed Banning's anxiety. He had touch
of fever, he said, and would be careful in
the future, and he kept his word. A fortnight
and days went peacefully by, and in the
excitement and the hard work Jack Banning had
little time to worry the occurrence He re-
turned to his tent evening to find his chief
