Widening Fifth Avenue.
Mr.. McAneny Recalls the Moderate
Cost Of That Improvement.

To THE NEW YoRK HERALD. A day
or two ago you printed a letter bearing
the signature Of James A. Douglas pro
testing against the project to erect per
manent signal towers in the centre OF
Fifth avenue and containing the follow
ing statement:
Only a few years ago, when Mr.. Nc
Aneny was President OF this borough.
the city spent something like $1,000 600
to widen Fifth avenue. Now II is pro-
posed to narrow ii by the erection of
permanent monuments
The figure Mr. Douglas uses is mis-
leading-no doubt quite unintentional lily
so-and as some editorial reference is
made to 1t in THE SUN may I correct it
The widening OF Fifth avenue above
Forty-seventh street. which did occur
while / was President of the borough,
cost the city something like s55, 900.
The incidental expense OF removing
sidewalk encroachments was laid upon
the Individual owners, business con-
Germs and others. This expense also was
vastly less than the figure mentioned.
The part Of the city was confined to
the setting back of the curbstone, the
widening of the roadway and the neces-
sary repaving. and the investment, I
venture to say, has proved a proftahle

China Il Fed.

IN these columns. where frequently
has been pleaded the cause Of starv.
ing China. we are glad to complete
the record by congratulating the
China Famine Fund and its commit.
tees and contributors upon the happy
ending Of their coed work. The sew.
eral millions Of dollars which Ameri.
cans poured, in the form of grain
into the hungry districts have ac
complished their mission. The equally
generous skies have sent enough rain
to assure bountiful harvests. China
is feeling better.
Chairman THOMAS w. LAMONT and
his committees had a big piece OF
work to do and they did It quickly and
well. The public has been wearied by
drives at IT'S pocket these last few
years, but the case Of China was
desperate and there was a ready
response.

some Of their best and fastest horses
over the jumps, the hurdle races in
France being run at a notably fast
pace. Some idea Of the type Of hur-
dlers France possesses may be Judged
from the performances of one of the
cracks at the game, Souviens Toi.
which won the Prix Boiard this
spring over the mile and a quarter
straightaway. lowering the colors Of
the best fiat racers In that country.
Wrack. a noted sire In the United
States at the present time. was a
hurdler for a portion Of his career
in England, returning to the fiat in
better form than before his introduc-
tion to the obstacles. In cases of
animals becoming stale on the fat
a campaign through the field has
been found beneficial.
Evidently the day of the slow
horse and the cripple in steeple-
chasing has passed. All that is
needed is proper surveillance Of this
branch Of the turf, and the example
of Mr.. DAVIS and of other progress
sives, like the Greentree Stable and
JOSEPH E. WIDENER, viii be followed,
for there is no more fascinating sport
than steeplechase with well trained
horses capably ridden over fences
that call for the qualities every good
timbertopper must possess.
