1T is hard to see how the deposition of
an additional layer OF soil over any part
OF the park will OF itself be 81 remedy for
these conditions. On the contrary. 1t
seems to me that a more rational method
can be devised whereby the existing
faults can be corrected.
Such a method would include the in
stallation OF an adequate drainage sys-
tenn throughout the entire park. At
present this is not the case The extern
sion OF the distribution Of water for the
purpose Of irrigating the park In dry
seasons. now deficient. is an imperative
necessity and should be carried on with
out delay.
BY turning under the sod of the
present lawns and the devotion Of these
areas for a portion Of the year to the
production Of suitable green manure
crop. a large amount OF humus forming
material would be incorporated into
them. The consequent benefits follow
Ing this cultivation would. l ar. sure.
render them able to support good
growth Of suitable grasses. With proper
treatment such condition would OBJ
tain for many years.
Il cannot see where the expenditure
Of a large amount Of money for soil
is at all necessary" said the soil ex-
pert. Il have been quoted as saying
that my report would condemn the
present practice Of purchasing a So
called humus and a soil and mixing
them for use in the park. This Is true
Wherever 1t is necessary to purchase
soil 1t should have natural character
istics making such a mixture unneces'
sary. And / do not believe that the
difficulty OF obtaining such soil would
be at all great"
In Mr.. Maynadier's opinion the large
amount of money considered necessary
for the purchase OF soil could be far
more judiciously expended.
I'm my opinion" he said. ut should be
expended in the direction OF improve
ment in drainage. extensions or the
water system, the renovation OF the
lawns by the use OF the plough, proper
fertilization and reseeding and, as I'M
perative as anything else. for more
comprehensive system OF guardianship
over the park to prevent vandalism and
destruction. The results of such acts ol
wanton destruction are now seen all over
the park"

condemnation of such plan

Musicians and sneezina.

Nobody can dispute the sincerity OF
the players in Il big orchestra like the
Philharmonic or the New York Sym
phony Most of the time they take
their work seriously. but sometimes
the men break loose and play tricks on
one another as though they were
youngsters in school, OF course the
audience knows nothing of these
things; they're usually perpet-ated in
rehearsals.
The red pepper trick is the common
est. The jokers scatter it where the
bassoon and trombone players are like
~ to suck it up. The result is chokes
and sneezes. Sometimes the epidemic
reaches even into the strings, but of
course the players on the wind instru-
ments get it worst.
AS matter of fact. the jokers are
playing with fire. "A confirmed
sneezer cant get a job in good or
chestra, no matter how good per-
former be may be-" said consistent
concert goer. Think of the effect of
a rousing sneeZe on pianissimo.
Why. it would spoil whole concert,
one sneeze would. A conductor has to
guard against a sneeze as he does
against inebriety."-NewY York Sun.

AIuckx Game of Chess.

A story is told Of the Moorish prince
Abul Hejex, who was thrown into
prison for sedition by his brother Mo-
manned. king of Granada. There he
remained for several years until the
king, fearing he might escape, placed
himself at the head of fresh revolt
and seized the crown, ordering one of
his pashas to see to his immediate ex-
ecution. Abul Hejex was playing at
chess when the pasta came and babe
him prepare for death. The prince
asked for two hours respite. which
was refused. After earnest entreaty
he obtained permission TO finish his
game. He was in no hurry about the
moves. we are told, and well for him
he was not. for before an hour had
elapsed a messenger brought the news
that Mohammed had been struck dead
by apoplexy. and Abul was forthwith
proclaimed king Of Granada. 1t was
indeed small favor for the pasta to
grant. but it altered the whole current
Of the kings career.

From what we can gather from a

wrote to him letter of complaint.
The board fixed upon Tuesday Tor
hearing the alleged complaint. The
aggrieved citizen came here and

there was no investigation after all.
