All agreo that {t should have at least four inches of foe gravel or sand op the top, and that sasand would be preferable to the bard finish. The hard flaish they de- clare particularly ipjurious to the fect of horses used for equestrian purposes, they needing a softer track than for driving. We learn, however, from the Commissioners , that they have no idea of giving it @ hard finish. Although pot fully rettled upon the mode of preparing tbe bridle read, they are at present talking over the idea of placing from four to #!x inches of tan bark on the pound- ed stones, and forr or ‘ire inches of gravel on the top of that. Whether thie or some other plan ts adopted, they teem to be determined to make the bridle road every way wuited to equertrianiam—an exefoise that ie be- coming 80 populer ax to make {t © marked feature of the Park. ‘There ie almost daily evidence of the -visdom of the ar- chitcot-in chief in preparing « separate roed for the horse- back riders, The immense crowd that gather at the | Gontrai Park om Saturday afteraoons already maken it | Sxceedingty 4) Mcult for the equestrians aod numerous carriegee to move about without danger oa the rime road, and under the rapid increase golog on in this line two years from now will see all the rides and driver of the Park crowded to their utmost capacity, rendering all the objections recently raised that the drives were con- Btructed too wide as #0 much mounshine.
