THE PARK BOARD

I.snew park board results from the present inpasse with the mayor if will mean that the Democrats will be in the majority on the board. while heretofore the board has been Republican, It is rcgrettable that the personnel Of such commissions must be dictated upon political grounds.
 The present park board seems in clned 70 take to.itself some of the mayors criticisms against Superln- tendent Wainright; m effect it. says that while the mayor has criticised MT. WsinriEht in some particulars the board as a whole Is entitled to the criticisms where they included matters of policy. This may be sim cere. or it in part may be an effort to shield the park superintendent from the charges of lack of CO., operation preferred by the mayor. If the mayor feels he really must have the cooperation he. speaks aOont there is only one way to get it, dis agreeable as that may be.
 The fact that it is conceded it will require a. Democrat controlled board to cooperate with the mayor shows that the political angle in this mat ter is prominent It is the superin- tendents duty to carry out the policies of the board, and the latter can well reflect the policies enun- ciated by the mayor. Disagreernent- between the mayor, the board and the superintendent would be dis agreeable 10 the public as we'll Just now more of the cooperation 1alked about, and less of the 'in.istence, is needed on all sides.

DILA<EY'S DEFEAT

IL is said on reliable aut thorlty that scarcely anybody in Bridgeport, Jack Delaney's home town. wagcred on him to defeat Jack Sharkey. In Bridgeport, where they know De- laney very well, there apparently was much lack of confidence in the home town product. The reason is said 10 have been that too many were acquainted with Delaneys bizarre training methods.
 A prizefighter does not earn his stipend only during the compa ratire- ly short time he faces an opponent in the ring How he has trained him self to go through the ordeal is quite as important. That is where Delaney failed. When he met Sharhey the show lasted oulv 3 few minutes. leaving no doubt in the minds of anyone that Delsney's poor training had shown it's inevitable conse- duences.

THE LOOKS OF CENTRAL PARK

Jt has been gratifying to many citizens that the landscaplng or Central park was carried out carly and effectively this spring. This has been the case every year, but rarely has the work been performed so thoroughly and quickly as this year. A few weeks ago, when an airplane rested on q part Of the central green and numDerless feet had turned the contiguous lawn into an ooze oi lnuo' ii looked as if the green would nave 4 hard time recovering from the el- facts. Today there isn't a sign left or what the green went through; ana all rarts Of lt look trim and artistic.
 Without such attention cacn surjng Central park would look as devoid Of green each summer as some other greens in some other towns. New Britain has always had reason to fcel proud Of the manner in which Central park has been kept. If Superintendent Wainright i4 entitled 10 the credit for this let nim have II,

NEW YORK CELEBRATES

Trying to obtain transportation m New York subway during the rush hours is quite a thrilling ex peri.noe. In noting how s,o06,oho people tried to concentrate within several square miles Of territory yes- t.rday during the Bremen flier cele- bration one cannot help wondering about the extent of the crush after it VAS all over, how long it took the average person 10 get into 2 subway train once he started the effort, how he was 1amned up after he got inside one Of the trains.
 When New York celebrates homo i, the best place for the weak and infirp; only the samsons can sur vive.
 Too many people look at football games and not enough of them play 1t, h the complaint; which also holds true to other sport. But no sport we know of is more taxing of strength and stamina than a New York subway ecrimmage after a celebration.

THE TEApROCk SHAD
 HATCHERY By Dr. Walter F. JraprHk

The shad season will be with us soon and it's advent always recalls my own experience with that most delicious fish. As is well known, only q tiny fraction of the millions Of GEES contained in a single roc-shad survives 10 maturity.
 During the winter Of 1906 I was "orking as q. dccp-sea diver, off the mouth of tho Connecticut river, here A French brig, loaded with Napoleon brandy, had gone 10 the bottom. Her owncrs advertised for divers and l volunteered 10 work. my salary 10 be a handsome share of ihe cargo.
 Jt vas the shad spawning season beauties, passed me every day. ] have always prided myself on being kind to dumb animals and l made TO exception in this case. ] noticed that several large shad, which were about to become mothers, fingered no doubt by my gentle way or scratching their backs as they swan by me.
 One day, by accidt nt. l broke a bottle Of the rare old brandy against the sldc of the brig. The effect on the snad was cxtraordinary. There was no getting them away after that, believe me. tontcntedly sollsed, they nestled in the mud and proceeded to hatch, then and there.
 You can sec for yourselves the possibility of the ldea. By covering d. large part of the vast estuary with opened bottles of the precious Na- poleon l soon had an enormous hatchery prodJcinG it's peak output. But 1t was too good 10 last. me young shad and their proud parents chokcd the river mouth. Navigation was impede1. The New York boat got stuck in the shad and the gov ernrnont finally had to blast them out. Not Hishng 10 appear in the suit which followed, l joined an ex- petition which was just leaving TOT Artcsia to reclaim the ancient wells Of that interesting country. But that IS another story Wflch has nothing 10 do with shad, except perhaps, that If is fshy.

YES, THE WAR IS OVER

The clamorous outpouring in New York to honor Baron von Huencfeld, Major Fitzmaurice and Captain Koehl took place along the same thoroughfares which approximately ten years ago resounded to the homecoming welcome to American heroes of the war No one at that time thought that only ten years later two German war veterans would be included in the objects of somewhat similar vociterous greet ing.
 Thus the world moves.
