ing the week, and many visitors remain
to both concerts. Since a restaurant,
serving q limited menu, is run In con-
nection with the concerts. the time may
be agreeably spent. The meals are
served in the open air, but in case Of
bad weather the concert is conducted
in a large concert hall in the garden,
in which the meals are also served. In
the evening the whole garden is illum
mated with Chinese lanterns and cleo
trio lamps, which add to the pictur-
esqueness of the scene.
The park system of a city should
be laid out in systematic manner and
should consist of parks Of varying sizes
and design, each more or less partiCu-
larly adapted for certain purposes.
In general way the parks should in
crease in size with the increase in dis
lance from the business centre, and
there should he four or five classes OF
parks.
Those of the smallest class should be
located In the most congested portions
of the city, to relieve the pressure of
business. but they should not be so large
as to have disorganizlng effect or
cause undue inconvenience to traffic and
the despatch of business.
Parks of the next largest size should
be In the crowded residential and tene-
ment districts and they may be of vary
ing sizes. from one to four blocks or
more in area.
Parks of the third class should be
located on the outskirts Of the residen-
tlal portions and may be of large ex-
tent, from twenty to several hundred
acres. These should be the principal
parks Of the city and should be con-
nected by boulevards and parkways.
The fourth and largest group Of parks
may properly consist of large unde-
veloped areas of land. purchased by the
city and rented out partly for farm
ing uses and partly held as forests,
from which the wood may be cut and
sold in such quantities as will not de-
plete Its growth.

tries derive large and increasing reve-

EADS FOR MORE ENJOYMENT FOR NEW YORK CROWD

tunities for courtship, are the basic
principles OF such entertainments New
York should follow such principles suf-
ficiently modified to suit the crcum-
stances.
For example, park space should be
more available for such PURPOSES. Re
freshments should be free or at cost
there should be mum, rous bands. comic
entertainment of various kinds, dancing
platforms, various amateur athletic
contests for both adults and children
and particularly comic contests. For
those inclined to discussion. places
should be provided for speeches to be
made by citizens 20 which the city Of
fic!als should listen instead of expect
ing the public to listen to the officials
speeches. There should be very Wide
variety OF amusement, all of short dura-
ton, however. and the implements of
games and grounds should be provided
for every kind Of game desired to be
played by the public.
One objection to such a plan Is the
roughness of the young city toughs, but
when amusements are properly man
aged this objection disappears. city
which can turn out 500 policemen to at
tend an anarchist meeting can afford
enough officers to keep athletic games in
order.
The instltuting and conduct of such a
system of recreation, however, requires
a complete and competent organization.
Certain officials should devote their en-
tire time to the work and numerous
supervisors should be on the ground
carrying out definite programmes of
amusement instead of permitting the
crowds to wander almlessly In fruitless
search OF sporadic entertainment. The
management of amusements is a science
of itself and one of great Importance to
public welfare. The providing OF one
days real recreation every week for
every member of the public at nominal
cost or free would have a tremendous
social effect
Not only, however, on Sunday should
such entertainments be provided. but
also during the week, and especial at
tention should be given to encouraging
the recreation Of groups, such as church
and club picnics where the members are
all acquainted with each other. Suitable
picnic grounds should be set apart and
reserved on particular dates and the
general public then excluded. The assoc
Citations of employees Of large corpora
lions, lodges and other organizations
should be encouraged to use such
grounds. but too large a number of per-
sons should not attend at one time.

a feature Of the continental park sys-
TEN which is of the greatest usefulness
and which undoubtedly adds to the
healthfulness of the public by making
the parks and excursion grounds more
attractive is that of having on sale
wherever the demand may exist. ade-
quate supplies OF good food at prices to
suit the pocketbooks Of all.
1t is entirely unnecessary to take
baskets and boxes of food along, except
where the most remote localities are to
be visited, for wherever II is the custom
for visitors to go on Sunday or in the
evening, whether to the main parks of
the city or to outlying parks, beaches
or excursion grounds. restaurants will
be found. At such places, bread, meat,
cheese, beers. milk. coffee and other
simple foods of the best quality may be
had at very little more than city prices
\ whole party may thus obtain all
the edibles they require at such moder-
ate prices that the carrying of lunch
baskets is superfiuous. This does away
with the scattering OF papers and
ton grounds such an unattractive
appearance. For those who have more
to spend restaurants of a more elaborate
character are provided, so that what
ever the taste of the visitor he may
find adequate means of satisfying It
wherever he goes. Very often the same
restaurant supplies on different sides
or in different gardens both the elabo-
rate and the simple fare, the more
expensive gardens usually being on "A
par with the best city restaurants.
Only the smaller ana more remote
garden or park restaurants of this
character are without music, while all
the others offer exceptionally good
music, frequently fine military bands
of reputation. The grounds and parks
in which such open air restaurants are
placed are so laid out that attractive
promenades are afforded and the entire
day may with enjoyment be spent in
such locality.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-08-09

objections may be offered to such a
plan as this as not being applicable
to American conditions, owing to the
inclination Of many to pretend to be
able to spend more than they can really
afford to on a holiday. More probably.
however. the reason why such open air
restaurants have not appeared Is that
propretOrs have always attempted to
charge all classes Of visitors on a high
class basis, and the average visitor has
thus learned by painful experience to
take the lunch box along or to stay at
home.

however, is not found Objectionable
when properly applied. In many of the
best hotels the same food served in the
restaurant. grill and cafe commands
different prices in each. Properly man
aged such classified open air restaurants
would prove highly popular, and would
cause parks to be used to far greater
extent than at present. thus adding
materially to the welfare of the public.
The city should erect the necessary
buildings, plan the parks and grounds
accordingly and lease the privileges to
competent restaurateurs. Such build

An additional feature which is very
popular abroad. particularly in Ger
many and Austria, and which could be
introduced by American cities in their
parks-though until its advantages
became familiar It would probably ex-
cite some opposition-is that of concerts
to which an admission is charged.
Such concerts are given by orchestras
Of the finest musicians and are held In
hedged enclosures. The admission fees
serve to pay large part of the eX-
penses of the park, and also To exclude
the rougher element of park visitors,
such as young rowdies with baseball
bats. unruly youngsters and the like.
The visitors to such concerts may
also be served with refreshments, and
between numbers of the programme
may promenade about. Such concerts
are held on Sunday during the after
noon and evening, and occasionally dur

nues, while portions OF the land may
be sold from time to time as the city
grows.
For example, the city of Berlin has
been laid out and its development
planned up to the year 1000, when II is
estimated the city will have 10000, 900
inhabitants.
Most large foreign cities are album
dainty supplied with small parks. Ber-
lin has a large number. as has Vienna,
but in the latter city there is an ar
rangement known as the Ring" which
adds to the effectiveness OF the parks
Dresden and Stockholm also have a
large number Of small parks.
In some foreign cities there are
large spacious squares which, though
without grass. shrubbery or trees stll
have to a certain extent the effect of
parks, being embellished with foun-
tains, obellsks. monuments, electro
liers, &c.
The Place de la Concorde, Paris,
which is bounded on two sides by parks,
is one of the squares of this type,
while others are the Raadhus-Plads in
Copenhagen. the eastern end of Inter
den Linden in Berlin. the Dam in Am
sterdam and the Place de rHotel de Vile
In Paris. Owing to the traffic passing
through them they are necessarily open.
If the space, however, Is too large
it has the effect of dwarfing the sur
rounding buildings. Such squares are
found in Moscow and st. Petersburg In
the Place Dvortsory. the Place Kras-
naia and the Place des Theatres, which
are merely large open spaces paved
with cobblestones. While these spaces
could have been laid out as parks with
trees and grass plots. it may be that
they have been kept as open spaces for
possible military operations.
Among the edifices which may prop
erly be placed In the parks are munich
pal banquet halls. In such halls the
various municipal and semi municipal
functions could be held instead of in
the hotels as at present. Distinguished
guests could be received in more dig
nifty at such banquet halls than in pri-
vate hotels.
Permanent grand stands of a limited
SIZE should be erected in the larger
cities. where parades are frequently
held and now reviewed from tempo
rary stands. Such permanent stands
could be constructed in terrace form

ner and located at a focal point. being

Just what viii be the outgrowth OF

hard to tell, but it seems not improb-
able that some sort of agreement will
be entered into between the committee
and that town. whereby Marshalltown
practically will be given the remain
Ing vacancy in the league The COM
mittee composed by President Justice
OF this city, A. S. Lawrence OF Mus
catine. and Belden Hill Of Cedar Rap
ids, met this morning at Marshalltown
for the purpose OF investigating con-
ditions that have been reported by
Marshalltown boosters.
Before leaving, Justice made the
statement that the committee was not
authorized to award the franchise to
Marshalltown. and that the only
thing that could be done by the com
mittee was to investigate and confirm
the report of conditions that have
come from there in order that report
might be made to the league directors
when the meeting is called next week.
Strictly speaking 1t is true that the
committee has not the authority to
award the franchise without the con-
sent Of the other directors in the
league. The committee, however,
can repeat the action taken in the
case OF Clinton, in which the franchise
was awarded, subject to the approval
of the league directors. There is nc
question but that such action taken
by the committee would be approved
which means that to all purposes the
committee has the power to award
the franchise.
i It may be that the plan announced
! Yesterday by Justice may be adhered
to. His idea was that nothing be
done toward awarding the franchise
to any town until the meeting of the
league directors is called This
would give Moline plenty of time to
straighten out the difficulty over the
ball park, and come prepared to bid
against Marshalltown for the berth.
Since the Three-Eye league has
practically given Rock Island the go
by in its efforts to secure a berth IN
that league. fans in the up-riyer town
are beginning to agitate movement
toward securing C. A. franchise
Evidently they think that all they

they are mistaken. Justice said yes
