rHg ACADEMY AND CENTRAL PARK

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir. I hope the press of our city will bring out
clearly the meaning of the special meeting Of the
National Academy of Design on next Wednesday
evening Twice within the last fortnight Senator
Gradv's bill amending the charter OF the academy
has been laid aside after long debate, on the
pround that the members OF the academy have not
asked 10 have their charter amended This is
nslnable common sense Now. what will next
Wednesdays vote OF the academy determine or
not determine? If the academy votes against the
erection of its building in Central Park then clear
" the pending measures in the Legislature should
not become law But should the academy vote In
favor OF the Central Park scheme then the pro-
posed amendment of the academy's charter. as
such does thereby become legitimate subject OF
consideration by the Legislature, but it does not
tpso facto become a selfevident proposition for
the Legislatures approval Even though every
academician should vote next Wednesday for this
Central Park scheme, the merits Of the question
for the general public, will not thereby be deter
mined. Public opinion against the invasion of Gem
tral Park is too sound and mpregnable to be af-
fected bv any vote OF the academicians. But the
renutation of the academy may suffer irreparable
hurt If the academicians shall vote in favor OF
the Central Park scheme. then. with the promoters
of worlds fairs drill grounds and speedways, the
artists will go down in history enemies OF Cen
