BOWLING GREEN'S
LOST FENCE FOUND
Mystery Which Has Baffled
Citizens and Police for Five
Years Is Solved.
HIDDEN IN CENTRAL PARK
Ancient Relic to Be Replaced
in the Broadway Oasis 1t Had
Long Ornamented.

The Mystery OF Bowling Green. the
Jess DeMont Thompson and other ear
nest souls of the Broadway Association
sleepless for fve years, has been solved.
The Fence, the Sacred Fence. $50 years
old, brought from dear old Lunnon in
1870 to decorate the rim OF the ancient
green which beautined Broadway in
front of the Custom House before the
subway builders worked their wicked
will, and which was spirited away i've
years agoAhas been found. Perhaps its
recovery will stand as one OF the really
magnificent accomplishments OF the
Hylan administration, for the associa-
ton, cheerfully gives credit to Hizzoner
and to Hizzoner's Police Commissioner
Dick Enrlght.
They found It in Central Park. It's
honorable parts reposing underneath a
heap OF junk in a storeroom. Now 1t
will be busted off. linked together and
again set up in it's time honored posi-
tion. The event will be marked, no
doubt. by crowds and oratory-Hizzoner
himself speaking, perhaps. with Brother
Enrisht standing by for few well
chosen remarks.
The fence was brought over from
England 149 years ago at a cost OF $500
and erected around the little park where.
a few months previously. loyal citizens
had set up the famous lesden equestrian
statue OF George III. the same which
was yanked down, horse and man. by
the Liberty Boys when the Revolution
convinced New Workers. that Thackeray
was right about the Georges But when
they melted down the eminent Hano-
verian and made bullets out Of him to
shoot at his Red Coats they left stand
ing the equally British fence, and there
II stood unchanged by time until the
three Irishmen. O'Rourke. Booth and
Finn, came along with their subway
builders and changed the whole face OF
lower Broadway. Then the fence disap-
peared. Nobody knew what had become
OF It. There was a general notion that
II had been given for safe keeping into
the care OF the Park Department. but
when investigation was made nobody In
that department could give satisfaction.
The Broadway Association went 10 the
Mayor and to the Police Commissioner
Hizzoner said firmly that the fence ought
TO be found and should be found. De-
tectives were sent Salloping north, south.
east and west One lucky sleuth picked
up the trail and followed It to the old
store room in the park near Ninety
sixth street, more than six miles as the
crow files from Bowling Green. Just
how the fence got there nobody really
knows, but 1t seems that various fore
men had charge Of 1t and moved it
around from junk heap to junk heap. as
the mood seized them.
Before the fence can be wholly re-
stored. however. a number OF dismantled
fence posts which cannot be found at all
and which were considered among the
finest features OF the whole sample OF
the old time ironmongers art win have
TO be restored. This the contractors
have promised to do. that being a part
OF their agreement to restore all Bowl
Ing Green to the condition in which they
found It.
