mm BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. they ought to bo, the high and. unsightly fence is, to say tho least, an uncouth object and it is proposed to remove it to make way for something more appropriate, but I can say that the city government has been generous as regards the necessities of the people so far as these barks ate concerned and in a few years Brooklyn destined to eclipse all other cities in this respect. Onr big park, no matter how vast its area how great its attractions or how near it approaches perfection, is not sufficient for a city like Brooklyn. The working classes who live at any distance from it can only benefit by it on Sundays, and if it happens to be wet their pleasure spoiled.

This idea of creating smaller parks and plenty of them in the overorowded districts of the city is most beneficial and commendable and does more toward giving health and comfort to tho very people who need it most than anything else that could be done.1' EMOVAL.

In fact, outside of New York, Brooklyn seems to furnish more of tho T.one Branch Domilation than any other city. At Asbury Park, ten miles down the coast, Phuauel phians are much more numerous than Brooklyn ites, but here there are easily three from Brooklyn to every one from the Quaker City.

Scarcely hotel has not blossomed out with a new front, or a new wing or a new intenor.

The social season is booming. There are hops every night at the lug hotels and the smaller houses have concerts and musicales.

Its beautiful location, with the superior advantages arising therefrom and the improvement of localities within its bounds hithertho neglected, make it possible to render it a oharming resort.

H. C. Merwin, who has written some interesting papers for the Atlantic Monthly about horses, has in the July number a paper on "Arabian Horses." Speaking of their pedigrees, he says: "The Arabs have no writ ten pedigrees; it is all an affair of memory and of notoriety in the tribe. Certain alleged pedigrees of Arabian horses, couched in romantic language and represented as carried In a small bag hung by a cord around the animal's neck, have been published, but these are forgeries, gotten up probably by horse dealers, Egyptian, Syrian or Persian. The breeding of every horse is a matter of common knowledge, and it would be impossible for his owner to fabricate a pedigreo bo as to deceivo tho natives, even if he were bo inclined.

Tho Bedouini. it seems necessary to admit, are in general reat liars, and they will lie (to a stranger) about tho age, tho qualities or the ownership of a horse, but they will not lie about his pedigree, even when they can do so with impunity. To bo truthful on this subject is almost a matter of religion, certainly a point of honor, in the desert. How far back do these pedigrees run. and what was the origin of the Arabian horse These questions it is impossible to answer definitely.

Tho Bedonins themselves believe thnt Allah creatod the equine genus on their soil. "Tho root or the spring of the horse is," thoy say, "in the land of tho Arab." This pious belief is shared by a few gonerom souls in England and America, a small but devoted band who gallantly defend tho canso of tho Arabian horse against his only rival, tho modern English thoroughbred. Chief among these fr.it ful was the late Major K. D. Upton, who visited the desert himself and who has recorded his experiences and his views.

Major Upton concluded i that the horse was found in Arabia "nut later I than about one hundred years after the deluxe if. indeed, lie did not nnd his way then; I immediately after the cxndus from the ark. which is by no means improbaKe'and this prol i ability the author then proceeds seriously to consider. According to Major Upton and a few kindred spirits, all other breeds are mongrels, and tho only way to obtain horseflesh in its best and purest form is to go back to the fountain head, to the horso of the desert.

3 Tresh. Air Breathing Spots for the People. their Necessity In Our Midst and the Benefits That Are Derived From Them Where the Finest of These Places Will Probably Be. The new public parks which have been laid out by the city, and some of which are nearly approaching completion, will prove a great boon to those residents in their immotliato vicinity. With due regard to the necessities of the people in the more densely populated parts of the city, the aldermen and park commissioners have selected such sitoB as can give the greatest good to the greatest number.

Take, for instance, the Bushwick and Winthrop parks, the former in the crowded portion of the old Eighteenth, and the latter in the tenement district of the Seventeenth ward; the need of these breathing spots was apparent as soon as the ground had been selected and the changes were commencod which were necessary to transform ableak and brisk and mortar ridden areasnto a charming eaclosnre. The people watched the progress of the work with equal interest ana unpauciiuci iuuiwtij ing the time when they would be permitted to rest amid trees and flowers and view the green grass which had been so long a stranger to the localities. Some of these parks have been only partially completed, but Park Commissioner Brower has left such portions open for use as he could. He said to an Eaole reporter who was conversing with him on the subject: "You have no idea how these places were needed by the people. is 'Winthrop park, which is nearly completed; why, just as soouas wethrewitopenit was crowded and families upon families took their pleasure in it.

We had established a rule, that it should be closed at 9 o'clock at night, but we found that at that hour there were so many people in it that we felt it was almost cruel to drive them out and so we allow them to stay an hour longer. You see there are thousands of both sexes who do not get home from work until (5 o'clock and later and who, when they have eaten their supper and changed their attire, cannot reach the parks much before 8, and we thought that to turn them out after only an hour's enjoyment of these spots which have been selected and beautified for their solo benefit would be hardly fair, and therefore we allow them to remain until 10 at night." Winthrop park, to which Commissioner Brower principally referred, is located in that portion of the Seventeenth ward which is bounded by Nassau, Henry and Humboldt streets anil is in the midst of a crowded tenement house district. It takes np the space of two city blocks and is G50 feet in length by 470 in width. It is not yet quite comDleted. but the greater portion of it has been thrown open to the public which is more than delighted with the opportunity (riven for securing fresh air, welcome shade and the enjoyment of the artistically adorned grounds, which present such a welcome "and novel pleasure to thoso who daily frequent them.

Still another charming spot will bo the Bushwick park as soon as it is completed. This is located on Knickerbocker avenue, in the crowded 1 district of the old Eighteenth ward. The dimensions of this pleasure ground, liko thoso of Winthrop park, cover two full city blocks, which were purchased by the city for about $1,000 a lot, each lot being 100 by 25 feet in size. Bushwick park, although one of the smaller ones designed for the people, has me natural advantages. The grade of the greater portion of it is about 35 or 30 feet above the street level ami those portions which are lower are being rapidly filled up so as to make its surface uniform.

Commissioner Brower said: "We desired to preserve the grade here because it would bo so much better for those who are to visit the place. It insures tbem an almost constant breeze, if there is any air stirring at all, and great pains will also be taken to make it attractive in every other respect. Treos, shrubs and flowers will be planted. There will bo plenty of seat accommodation and there will bo shelters erected, which will give desirable shade. In this, as in all other of these parks, will be plenty of drinking fountains, where pure water can always bo obtained.

We expect to have it completed very shortly and to that end have a large force of men at work on it." But one of the finest of all these new parks will be the pride of the residents of the Twenty sixth ward. It is not yet completed and until some thirty or forty acres more of land have been acquired the work will hardly have been commenced. It will be known as the Kidgewood, and already forty eight acres of land have been purchased by the city. The park will bo on the bluff adjoining the Kidgewood reservoir, and it is beautified to a great extent by the natural scenery and the fine woodland which it possesses. It is, however, desirable ana in fact necessary for the construction of a park which will not only be a credit to the city and illustrative of its unflagging progress that this thirty or forty acre strip of the bluff which is loated between the reservoir and the cemeteries should become the city's property and be merged into the presont park lands.

To this end this strip is now in process of condemnation, and when it is finally secured Eidgewood park will be second in size, artistic development and natural beauty to Prospect park only. Commissioner Brower, in speaking of it, said: "It will make, next to Prospect park, the finest one in the city and it is eminently proper that the ground for it should be obtained by the rouiucip alityTbefore there are further building encroach ments upon it. In a very few years that portion of the new ward will be as thickly populated as any part of Brooklyn, nnd the municipality is only taking time by the forelock in providing it with such a desirable spot for recreative purposes. The land can be obtained cheaper at this timo than it could be a year from now, for real estato in that section of Brooklyn is jumping up in valuo with a rapidity which is almost phenomenal. An other thing that there will be in tho laying out of the weat park mil be the great saving in aru ficial ornamentation, of conrso it will require plenty of that, but it has the advantage of so much natural beauty that the surveyors and engineers will find their work of transformation comparatively easy." Sunset park will be still another section of land which is to be ornamented and beautified for tho benefit of the residents of the Eighth ward.

The boundaries of it will be from Forty second to Forty fourth street and from Fifth to Seventh avenue. This site, too, though by no means as large as the one intended for Kidgewood, is exceptionally favored by nature. In tho first place it has an elevation far above that of tho surrounding country, nnd when the land which immediately borders it is graded down to the street, one of the finest views in the city will be obtained from tho well shaded grounds. From Sunset park there will be a clear view not only of the upper and lower bays, of Now York, Jersey City and Staten Island, but of tho ocean itself as it stretches out from Sandy Hook. Tho grounds are already covered with large trees of various kinds and almost all of which are in vigorous condition.

There are natural grades and Bprings, a couple of miniature lakes will take the place of two large fresh water ponds which now exist and which are fed from springs. Of course artistic landscape work will heighten the natural effect and giro a pleasant contrast to some of the rugged features which are to be found there today and many of which will be allowed to exist. While this park, or rather the ground for it, has been sot aside for its immediate use, it is not yet the absolute property of the city. Money has been passed by the board of estimate for its construction and maintenance, but work cannot be commenced until that money has been appropriated.

It is 700 feet long by "J5S in width and has some natural advantages. On the Brooklyn avenue side there is a Iarce mansion which was built by Newton Adams ami which is now nsctl as a sanitarium by a management wliich holds an unexpired lease, but wliich pays to the city 8200 a month rent.which mil go very largely toward the maintenance of the park. As soon as tho lease expires the building will bo torn down. Before long it is the intention of the city to acquire suitable land in the Twelfth ward, 60 that tho people of that thickly settled locality may also get tho benefit of fresh air.

He Was Patient Willi Tbem When They Sought to Xcara. Anecdote's about Ruskin are numerous and nearly alwayB interesting.

The Bev. T. W. Holmes, in the Lamp, a magazine published in Sheffield, England, tells how the great critic met a company of working people and talked to them of serious things, in the following ways: "There were about dozen of us," said Mr. Holmes, "awaiting the arrival of a man whom the wisest hold in reverence and of whom all Englishmen are proud.

Presently Mr. Buskin entered He greeted all with that exquisite courtesy which is characteristic of him. Among those who were introduced to Mr. Ruskin the majority were working men, who had learned to honor him from the works of his disciple, then at the summit of satisfaction. The master chose a seat by the window, and after a few questions in regard to the subject on which we wished to have his counsel, began at once one of those monologues to which his hearers listened with breathless attention.

There was no shorthand writer present, at least none who dared to produce his book and pencil. The master's spoech flowed on like a mountain stream, broken as it runs into falls that hold each its own shattered rainbow, that lingers hero and there in deeper pools, in which the silver birches that grow beside it can see their own perfect image. It was a study ex expression to watch the master as the soft evening lights fell upon his face. The voice we henrd was a perfect medium for every vagrant fancy that struck across the current of his thought and for the deeper speech in which the heart and not the fancy spoke. The subject of Mr.

Ruskin's talk was largely that of that noblest treatiso on the ethics of business in the English tho Last." It was full of prophetic intimations of what the world will be when the toil of men is not for hurtful things, when the beauty of the earth and sky is no longer defiled with the smoke of men tormented with an inappeasable desire to make mouey without any conception of its worthy use; when tho eyes of men shall be open to the loveliness that lies around and bends above them; when tho life ho has painted in such inimitable colors beoomes tho only life regarded as worth any strife at all. When ho ceased it was like the sudden failing of a strain of music just at its sweetest and deepest note but that would have been the case, anyhow, at whatever point ho had paused. With a long drawn breath of infinite satis faction, as of men who had heard one who spake with authority, a true master thinker, we pulled ourselves together.andtho conversation consisted. for the remainder of the time ho stayed with us.of a number of questions to which, with tho greatest courtesy, he gave replies. Ho displayed uo irrita tion at our ignorance of things his hearers ought to have known, seeing that they had been stated with such fullness of illustration and clearness of exposition in his published works.

Before we left the mostor let fall a remark which revealed the a appointment and sadness that have never been absent from the hearts who are in advance of their age. He spoke of the slow progress of ideas, the long delay of any noblo reforms, tho sore trial that comes as life goes on and little is done. My own part in the conversatioi was principally that of a silent and fas cinated listener. But on this point I was able to contribute a little story that brought the light of pleasure and surprise into the eyes, that, strangely beautiful as they were, seemed dim, as if with a mist of tears. It was this.

A few weeks before I had been spending a day or two in Derby shire. As I camo home I sat by the side of the driver of the coach that goes lumbering up and down tho hills of c. land that, in summer time, holds its own against the most famous. Bravely the horses breasted the hills and merrily descended tho steep roads. Tho driver was full of quips, and cranks, of wise saws and modern instances.

His laughter was good to hear. It was as musical as tho bells the Norman horses carry on their harness. Proud was he of the loveliness of the country through which he was driving us. Ho had a budget of stories about tho inhabitants of many a "grey old grange" and antique village as we passed. But on coming to the top of ono of the Derbyshire hills and casting his eye down tho steep slope we had to' descend and the hill facing ns up which we had to climb, he liftod his whip and drew his hand across his face and in the richest Derbyshire dialect observed, with a gravity worthy of Professor Jowett, "I wish Mr.

Huslrin would bring his young men from Oxford and fill up that hollow; they'd be doing a kindness to theso horses." When I told Mr. Ruskin that ho and his work were known to the driver of a coach running among tho green solitudes of the Derbyshire hills ho seemed almost disposed to unsay what he had said about tho slowness with which ideas mako their way. Presently tho master rose and left us. Then we, too, came way, the perfect music of his voice yet lingering in our ears, while the gray of a summer night Hwathed the low western hills and tho now moon shone white and still over that garden with kits old fashioned English flowers, in which stands to day tho empty house, whoso chambers were filled then with all precious and pleasant riches. THE STRONG RACE FEELING TVkicla a Northern Correspondent Found in a Southern Town.

The correspondent for a Northern newspaper had arrived at a Southern town, and at his earliest opportunity he was out among the people making inquiries. Is the race feeling very strong here!" he asked of an old war horse, sitting in the shade of a grocery store. "Not always," replied the colonel, "but just now it is." "Ah, I notico some excitement in town this morning; good many people around. Has there been a lynching or is there prospoct of ono 5" Tho colonel looked at the correspondent quizzically. Stranger in theso parts, I reckon?" he said.

The correspondent nodded. "Thought so by your asking that question," continued tho colonel. "Well, I merely wanted to knowif there was any race feeling hore," said the correspondent, apologetically. "And I said there was considerable just now," asserted the colonel, provokingly. "May I ask what is the cause of it?" "Of course; this is a free country.

"Well, what is it?" The colonel began to grin. "It's mostly owing to a match that's coming off this afternoon between General Spark's gray colt and Major Long's brown filly down in Colonel Wigginton's field, and the whole town's going to take a half day's holiday and go down in a body to see the fun. I'm Colonel Wigginton, and if you'd like to go along and see what race feollngs are in this neck of the woods yon can have a place in my carryall, sir." Tho correspondent tumbled at once, and when he returned in the evening he discovered that the raco feeling had cost him $22.75, beside about a washtub full of mint juleps. Detroit Free Press. HOW TO LAND A BLACK BASS.

When a black bass is hooked, the only way you ctyi judge of his movements and intentions is by the senso of feelinir exerted through the rod and line, and by watchins the lino at its point of contact with tho surfaeo of tho water from which point never remove your eye until he is brought safely to bag, says Charles Frederick Danforth in tho July Veto EnoUvnl Magazine. Ha will resort to overy moans in nis power to get rid of the remorseless steel, sometimes break inc water four or five times. When a flsb is seen tobomakinK pellinell for the surface, and is bound to get there no matter what happens, he can often be checked, just before he breaks water, by movinc the rod quickly and steadily to the right or left, keeping a taut lino, of course, all tho whilo; but. should this not succeed and he breaks water in spite of you. lower the point of the rod a little, otherwise, it may bo smashed.

Care must be taken in this, in order that he may not throw his weight and bring tho whole forco of his jump to bear on the straight tant line or fall back on the taut line cither of which is extremely liable to produce the result spoken of. If you pot strike when trolling keep the line taut and the boat in motion, slackening its speed somewhat, of course; for give him but a few inches of slack, and up he goes into the air like a rocket and is cone.
