WS 8 Sha hi ne te » “THE EXCISE LAW. Preconcerted Raid by the Police on Barrooms Yesterday, “A MULTITUDE OF ARRESTS MADE. Curious Vay and Night Scenes in the Courts. HOW THR SUNDAY LAW WAS ENFORCED, | Full List of the Prisoners and Their Fate. — ‘HOW THE RAID WAS MET. A Police Justice-on the Bench, Another | Acting as Clerk, Foe amramnenen Yesterday was a busy day for the police. Orders ere issued on Saturday for the strict enforcement of the Excise law, and the result was the wholesale arrest of liquor store proprietors and their barkeepers, com- Mencing at’ midnight of Saturday and continuing throughout yesterday. ‘The persons arrested during Baturday night wero arraigned yesterday morning at the different police courts, and either neld in nominal ‘bail or discharged when the charges were censidered frivolous by the police justices. Around the police jourts animated crowds gathered in the morning, and the same scenes were transferred later to the different Precinct station houses. Below is a summary of the Bections of the law relating to closing houses:— ” CHAPTER 175 OF THR LAWS or 1870, Sxorion 5.—Licenses granted, az in this act provided, shall not authorize any person or persons to expose for sale, or sell, give away or dispose of, any strong or pirituous liquors, wines, ales or beer on any day be- }ween the hours of one and five o’clock in the morning. id all places licensed as aloresaid shall be closed und ept closed between the hours aforesaid, &c, and it whall be the duty of every sheriff, policeman, &c., to enforce the ubservance of the foregding provisions, Fora violation of this section the Excise Commission- ®rs may revoke the license. Sxe. 20 of the samo provides:—No inn, tavern or hotel keeper, or other person, shall sell or give away * intoxicating liquors or wines on Sunday or upon any day on which a general or special election or town meeting shali be held, and within one quarter of a mile from the place where such general or special election, ke., shall be held in any of the villages, cittes and towns ofthe Stato ‘to any person whatever as a bev- era, Whoever shall offend against the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be Punished after each offence by a tino of not less than $30 nor more than $200, or by imprisonment not less than five days nor more than fifty, or both such fine aud imprisonment, at the discretion of the Court. For two months or longer unequal efforts have been mado to enforce those provisions, At one time a large number of liquor sellers have been arrested in one pre- Binct while avery much larger number of persons in the very next preciact. who had rendered themselves equally liable to arrest were permitted to sell unmo- lested. Those who were arrested, in most instances, have never been called to trial, the giving of $100 bail generally being the concluding act of ‘THE LEGAL PARCE, in which the liquor dealers, the police authorities and Police justices are the chief actors. The principal method of detecting violations of the law yesterday was the following:—Ofiicers in citizens’ dress entered the liquor stores and beer saloons they found access to in the different precincts and asked if Mey could obtain Hquor. If liquor or beer was sold to them they arrested the person selling it, and when they hotised him safely at tho station returned to pursue the same scheme im other quar- ters. Occasionally av officer entered a hotel bar, where his face was familiar, and, failing to induce ~ the attendant to sell him tho liquor, went off without a prisoner, but not always without a drink. A good Wany devices were employed to evade the law yester- sfay. Determined seekers for ‘‘cocktails’ and other denominations of ‘eye openers’ did not find the law, however rigidly enforced, a barrier to the enjoymont ef their favorite beverage. Strango stories circulated of the distribution of keys by liquor store proprietors | 4 their patrons, of mysterious passages through wind- | lng alleys, Of scaling partitions and descending to back basements where bacchanals gathered in mysterious | sarnival In the large hotels “parlor entertaimments” were the order of the day. You were thirsty and un- aware of the spasmodic virtue which selected this par- | cular Sabbath, wnen the sun was so very hot, for its exhibition; you entered the hotel bar and asked for a | drink, and you werc directed to a “private” room { where you were as liberally supplied as your | moans permitted. In restaurants tho patrons drank their gin and seltzer out of cups For the initiated the trouble was very slight, but report says that the occasional tippler lingered disconsolate on many an inhospitable strect corner. Doubtless the re- port was sober truth. Many of the liquor stores and beer saloons put up their little VLAGS OF DISTRESS, botifying all wnom it might concern that “this store will open on Monday morning.” But this should not | be taken as implying that it was not open then, From wome of these places stolid looking messengers emerzed with little bottles of Jiquor or cans of beer concealed in small market baskets, As usual the action of the | Police Board, in directing this general enforcement of the Sunday law, was the means of sending thousands bt people to Staten Island and across the Jersey fer- ties, where lager beer could be had freely and without effort to evado the police scrutiny, In each precinct about twenty officers patroiiod in citizens dress in Bearch of offenders azatnst the law. In nearly all beses where arrests were made, and they numbered several hundreds, the officers themselves wero the per- Bons to whom the accused sold tho veer or liquor. ‘These efforts to check the sale of iiquor were very gi erally canvassed as the day advanced, and, as hitherto, the question of ‘‘beating”’ the law received much more consideration than that of obeying it It may be truly said, indeed, that this observance of the kxcise law, as Wt now stands, is regarded by the average New Yorker a9 a sort of barmless fiction. The hotel, big or little, eannot be preventod from serving its guests away from the bar, and the small groggery proprietor, who must pay a high rent and taxes as_ well as the botel proprie- tor, thinks himself cqually entitled io entertain guests and travellers, If be can accomplish tin no other way be has ingenuity epough to convert his tavern into & hotel. . + In the afternoon, when it became generally known that the police m citizens’ dross were searching for | Niquor and arresting all who sold it to them, # sort of | Panig seized the liquor men, but still they tried to sell and did sell, even in places where arrests had been made after the police had left, Some strangers only found it diMeult to obtain access to the inner cham- bers to which the liquor had been taken in some places | for security. In almost all cases sentinels were set to | Watoh the police, and acurious sort of game of hide aud seek was played by tho police and tuo liquor men, which lasted until after midnight. The new order | afforded an excellent opportunity tor angered patrol- men to “get square’ with liquor dealers who were “out of favor” with them. That some such motive “mmstigated =the = officers. in certain —_—precincts would appear from the fact that quite @ number of those arrested on Saturday night wero discharged by the police justices because it op: peared that they had been taken out of their places of ‘business @ minute or two after midnight, the doors being closed and iastened at the time and no one but the proprietors on the premises, The provision in the law making it an offence even to “expose for saie” | would seem to have been liberally construed in tavor of the police by themselves. Men were arrested, taken to the station house and their pedigree taken, When the accusing officer was aeked if he saw thom sell liquor be stated that ho did not, and yet they were “sent below.” To the inquiry of a HexaLv reporter in one such instance upon what charge the man arrested telligent officer was at liberty to assume that he ‘‘ex- posed liquor for sale,’’ and if so minded he could lock him up im acell, Like honest Dogberrys the watch “comprehended all vagrom persons”? and held most of them for examination before their worships the police justices this morning, They first assumed that “it was proved already” that their prisoners ‘‘were little better than false knaves,” and they knew “‘it would go pear to be thought so shortly.’’ They will doubtless flud, too, that many of “the knaves” will be “condemned into everlasting redemption”? for their fault. Among the arrests made yesterday were included the barkeepers of the Grand Central Hotel, of the Hotel Brnnswick and two of the bartenders at Gilmore’s Garden, SCENES AND INCIDENTS. Although the Tenth precinct is a noted beer-drinking locality the Teutons who infest the quarter had at an early hour become aware of the measures taken to enforce the Exciee law, and most of the saloons were closed. Some few proprietors, however, reckoning upon the discreetness of their customers, opened to begin business and found themselves in a short time in occupation of the narrow procinets of a station house cell, During the early portion of the day some halt dozen arrests were made, which spread a whole- some terror among the hquor-dealing fraternity of the district. In the Eleventh precinct no vory great excitement occurred during the day. The saloon owners who opened mm the morning were speedily taken into cus- tody, and only a ‘few transgressors were found daring enough to brave detection during the afternoon, A fow, however, mage covert attempts to dispose of their jock of liquors, and these were generally compelled to accept the escort of a police officer as far as the Union Market station house, $hat portion of the Thirteenth precinct lying close to the river and down as farasthe Hook is inhabited by a population who will not be deprived of their Suo- day libations if a cunning mantpulation of side doors can help thom to @ dram; consequently the liquor dealers of that quarter prepared to servo the pub- Nic at al hazards. The police, however, were actively engaged im watching all tndications of violation of the law, and before long a large number cf barkeepers looked askance at Cap- tain Clinchy in front of the station house desk. Many and varied were the protestations of the prisovers, and when they were taken below their discussion of tho infringement of what they regarded as inalienable rights had an exceedingly bitter flavor, In the after- noon the number of arrests began to be less frequent, and the consumers of beer, wines and liquors wended their way about with disconsolate taces and words of ungentle reference to the Commisstoners. In Captain McCullough's district (the Seventeenth precinct) a look of settled melancholy seemed to invest the numerous beer saloons, and still more gloomy and discontented looked the German population, who roamed the streets. In all the stores devoted to the vending of strong Hquors and brewed beverages a general disposition seemed manitested to ‘pull down the biinds,”’ and the proprietors, who for the most part lounged outside their doors, cast glances of dis- gust at the patrolman as he passed their doors, The sounds of revelry with which these haunts of the German laboring classes usually resound were altogether wanting yesterday, for nota single saloon keeper exposed himse!f to vest during the whole day. Captain McCullough was discovered by a Heratp reporter eyeing a long line of silent deer shops, whose flaunting signs of “Wine and Lager Beer’’ seemed vague and meaningless when asso- ciated with their utter abandonment. The Captain was looking vainly forthe appearance of a sinner against the Excise law, In the Eighteenth precinct station house evidences of considerable business activity began to be mani- feated at an early hour. Captain Garland in person patrolled the stroets, and was instrumental tn taking into custody a couple of the most astute aggressors, Every few minutes an officer armved at the desk with some indignant liquor dealer in charge, and toward evening the capacity of the station house began to be severely taxed for room to put the newcomers. In the jatter part of the afternoon the arrests had figured up to nineteen, and there was still a prospect of more ap- pearing. The denizens of the streets lying aloug the river side, who usually devote their Sundays to a con- sumption of strong waters, seemea exceedingly aissat- istled with the aspect of affaire, and thero is reason to believe thas during yesterday few prayers were uttered | for the wellebeing of the Excise Board and the police in that portion of the city. Inthe Thirty-tifth street station heuse the exciso raid formed the topic of conversation for the police and for all who came that way. Nearly every man of the squad had assisted in an arrest, and down stairs in the cells were not only keepers of ordinary liquor shops, but proprietors of saloon palaces and men who stood high in favor with local politicians, The saloons of the | precinct had in many cases been opened ax usual, and some had beon ostensibly clowed up, but in both in- stances the owners or barkeepers bad to pay the. price of thoir temerity, having been taken into custody. Twenty-four persons had been brought before the desk up to six o'clock, and although the iikelihood of others appearing seemed doubtful yet it was questionable to what straits liquor dealers might be driven by the thirst of their customers. All through the ward the lesson of the day seemed to bea telling one, for the corners were abandonod by the usual loungers and the stores upon them seemed quiet and untenanted. The scene of the day’s greatest excitement, how- ever, was the Fifty-ninth street station bouse, where forty-one cases of excise violation appeared on tho blotter, All through the neighborhood people were gathered in groups, talking about the event of the day. The numerous friends of the prisoners seemed disposed to regard their arrest as an arrant outrage and their detention in the station house as positive despotism. Outside the police station were collected quite a crowd, some bearing baskets of refreshments for incarcerated relatives, others vocilerously clamor- ing for interviews with friends inside. A police officer stood on duty within, strenuously endeavoring to ro- presa the applicants or admission to the prisoners, and a number of politicians interested in the latt accompanied by several attorneys, were devising plans of release. Shut irom the popular gaze, but visible to the people before the desk, Were the prisoners them- selves, whose number precluded the possibility of single detention in cells. They were crowded to- gether in hmitS much too small for them, a tew seated, Dut the most of them standing, and all looking anxiously for some news of release. The warmth of the atmosphere must have been excessively annoying in the narrow precincts that held them, and some dig- played signs of real suffering. Aldermen Somers, Heas and Claugon had been using their efforts during the day to have the prisoners spared the ignominy of deten- tion im the ceils and have them brought at once to Court. OM THE WAST SIDE, among the liquor dealers, the indignation manifested ‘against what was characterized as the arbitrary and Unjust action of the Commissioners was intense. Tuis feeling was shared in « very considerable degree by the patrons of the saloons, and the old talk of ‘robbing a poor man of his beer’’ was freely indulged in. Asa rule the barkeepers and proprietors submitted quietly tothe arrest and accompanied the officers to the police station with but httle more than a verbal remonstrance, Work in the Ninth precinct was particularly lively, no less than thirty arrests being made early in the day. This is accounted for by the fact that special office had been detailed to visit, in citizens’ dress, the vari- ous saloons in the precinct, and were instructed to | close any place found opea where liquor was exposed, even if no actual sale was consummated. One of the parties arrested drew a revolver on the officer, and consequently, on being brought to the station house, was charged not only with violating the Excise law, but With felonious assault aswell, Many subterfuges wore indulged in to evade the law, and the numerous instances which were noticeable of litue children trudg- ing along with pitchers filled with foaming beer were certainly evidences of success, One toing that must have inspired boldness on the part of the dealers was that a large proportion of those arrested in the morning were almost immediately dis- charged on bemg vrougnt before the police magistrates or held on nominal bail, Toward évening the station houses were overrun with friends and relatives of the men suffering from their connection with the trafic. In most instances the visitors brought either food or clothing, but all of these things had to pass through the hands of the doorkeeper, the offieiala in charge invariably refusing any communication with the prisoners. The scene in sume of ihe was held, the answer was, ‘Oh, they can be arrested Jost the same Jor exposing liquor for sale” If aman wus found im bis place of business with no one present fnd merely atending to some necessary duty the in- station houses was certamly « peculiar one ‘The close-cropped dealer out of lightning gin, whose custom was derived from the Jaborer and "longshore- ‘Man, was for the moment on an equality with the dia- mond studded julep artist of some aristocratic hotel. Anxious wives and mothers in the outer room pleaded in vain for a word with those in whom their interest was centred, and during it all fresh victims were rap- idly being brought in, only after the usual questions were asked to hear their doom pronounced, in tho quaint phraseology of the station house, “Take him down.” In the Twentieth precinct another instance of beer saloon, but was inimediately confronted by the hale and hearty spouse of the proprictor, She struck out, knocking off the officer’s cap, and then the husband drew bis pistol and threatened to Shoot if the arrest was insisted upon, Both man and wife were finally brought to the station house, whero the double charge of assault and violating tho Excise law was made, Thoso arrested in the Twenty- second precinct were not as fortunate as their fellow sufferers in the downtown districts, as» no-provision ‘was made for their being brought to court in the even- ing, and they were, consequently, compelled to remain incarcerated until this morning. UNWARRANTABLE ACTION, It seems, however, as though in their proposed Severe enforcement of the Excise law, the Commis- sioners would require, in some cases, meu to look after those to whom is deputed the task of watching and ar- resting delinquent Nquor dealers, Yesterday, Mr. Juhus Gribel, a very respectable German, who keeps & lager beer saloon and garden at No, 598 Sixth avenue, was arrested, together with his wife, for an alleged vio- lation of the Sunday liquor Jaw,'under pecultarly pro- voking circumstances, His saloon was not only shut, | buta placard was placed in the window bearing the announcement—*Positively closed for to-day.” Upon his return from the barber’s he heard a great hubbyb in the basement kitchen of his house, where the table was alreaay imd for the family dinner. Upon going down, he found bis wife resisting an officer, who was trying to arrest her, and who, tn so doing, had partially torn her clothes from her back, The husband, upon inquiring the reason of this extraordi- nary proceeding, was informed that he, too, was under arrest for violation of the Sunday law. He did not ob- ject to go with the officer, tearing violence on bis part, but asked him to allow his wife time to replace her | torn dress and cover her head before walking through the streets with a policeman. The request was refused. The husband and wife were then marched by this superserviceable patrolman, by name Samuel English, to the Twenty-ninth precinct station house and lockod up. Mr. Gribel at once sent to the Judge of the Wash- ington Place Police Court, who at once opened his court, and upon hearing the evidence and circum- stances at once discharged Mr. Gribel and his wife, ‘The former asserta that his place ,was closed from twelve o’clock Saturday night; that positively not & drop of liquor was sold in his house, and | thas the officer arrested him and his wife because, as the lattor daid, he had seen people going in at their basement door, The treatment of the wife is, under any circumstances, utterly outrageous, and Mr. Gribe! will to-day prefer charges against this overzealous patrolman, who, he alleges, was, at the time of making the arrest, considerably under the influence of liquor, ‘THY MORNING POLICE COURT SCENES. The sudden increase of prisoners brought before the magistrates at the police courts yesterday forenoon caused considerable surprise, but when 1t was ascer- tained that the fact was owing to a determined raid by the police on all barrooms or drinking saloons found open, the courts were soon crowded by curious people Long after the watch returns were disposed of and a fow cases of petit larceny had been adjudicated, the magistrates found themselves kept busy with cases in which violation of the Excise taw, in selling liquor on Sunday, was charged. In nearly every court the police justices expressed themselves as disgusted at the man- | per in which the arrests had been made, and in many instances released the prisoners because the officers either could not furnish the necessary evidence or had made their arrests under circumstances that showed that they had trapped their victims unfairly, or that the alleged violation of the law s very doubtful, Judge Duffy, who presides at present at the Washington Place Court, decided to reopen his tribunal at eight P. M. for the purpose of considering any excise arrest that might be made during the after- noon, He stated that he took this action as he be- lieved that it was simple justice to the accused to give vhem an opportunity to offer bail if probable guilt ex- isted or to be discharged if shown to be innocent of the charge. To Judge Duffy’s couree many men under ar- rest escaped detention over night in the atation house cells, THE ARRESTS.

A large majority of prisoners were held in $100 bail to answer. Those who were fortunate enough to have “sola” friends at hand gave bail on the spot, and the rest were marched up stairs and detained in the rooms there situated ‘What's the charge?” and “$100 toansw: came again and again, varied with an occasional “Discharged; go home” The crowd upstairs began to swell and three clerks were grind: out bail bonds ata foarful rate, but were utterly unable to keop pace with the Judge’s commitments. Measen- gers were running to and ro in search of friends for those who happened to have nope at hand who would or could give the required $100 bail. It was a medley of fun and trouble during the entire evening. Judge Kas- miro arrived on the scene at ten o’clock and remarking, “I'm ag good a clerk aslem a jadge,” rolled up his sleeves and took a band et making out bail bonds. Among the prisoners was « little girl scarcely twelve years of age, who was found selling beer to some boarders in her parents’ ‘house, In consideration of her age and the ciroum- stances she was discharged. Another case created considerable laughtor, “Did this man sei! you » drink, officor?” said the Judge. “No, sir,” replied the ofticer; ‘‘Lasked Lim to selime a drink, and he ro- fused, saying, ‘I can’t sell you one, but take one with me.’ [ took the drink and arrested him." “Don’t you thipk you have violated this man’s hosp!- tality ?”’ said toe Judge, “When a iriend of mime calls on me I sometimes ask him that question.” Tho a prisoner was discharged amii laughter all around. Hugh McCaffery, of No. 2 Seventh avenue, was brought up ona double charge, one tor viola:ion of the Excise law and another for drawing arevolver onthe officer who arrested him. When called upon to go with the officer, it is alleged, he asked permissior to return behind the bar, which was granted. He then threw of his coat, and seizing a revolver from @ drawer, pointed it toward the policeman, remarking, “Now, I’m aamned if I'l go.” But be went, and will have a chance to explain himself this morging, Ata late hour last night the clerks were busily at work filling out the bonds, and as fast as they were ready they were sworn to before tbe justice and the prisoners discharged. From appearances the sea sion will last till morning. Judge Duffy estimated that at least 200 cases had been disposed of by bim during the day. i ‘The following persons were admitted to bail or dis charged up to midnight, Besides these lucky ones there were hundreds anxiously waiting the arrival of their friends or to have the necessary papers ade out:— Valentine Bee!

The scene at Fifty-soventh street Courtwas @ most exciting one, the prisoners being brought in from five different precincts boiling over with indignation and threatening John Kelly and what they called «his “hybrid Police Commission” with all sorts of vengeance. Judge Henry’ Murray was notified of tne facts of the arresis made at the different precincts at an carly hour im the evening, and at once paid a visit to the Twenty-second precinct station house, on West Forty-seventh street, and assured himself of the facts of the case. Judge Murray found the station house choked with prisoners, all suffering from the heat and confinement. He tele, graphed to headquarters at once that he would open court, and, with Jacob Hess and Henry Claussen, entered the Fifty-sevonth Street Court House, where @ large crowd of the prisoners’ friends werd assembled. Judge Kasmire could not be found, and Judge Kilbresh declined to sit in the Excise cases, Judge Otterbourg assisted Judgo Murray, and both police magistrates held court at eight o’clock last evening. Judge Murray disposed of thirty- threo cases, holding each prisoner in $100, and discharging him as quickly as bail was found, Judge Murray also paroled four liquor dealers who could not find bail, and Judge Otterbourg held also the same number of prisoners—thirty-three persong | | each in $100 bail. Judge Murray and his colleague did not get through their le bors until nearly eleven o'clock last night, and it was commented upon in court that Captain Gar. land did not send his prisoners from the Eighteenth procinet station house to the Filty-seventh Street Court, although ordered to do so by Suporintendont Walling. HARLEM POLICE COURT, At the Harlem Polico Court Judge Flammer disposed of about forty cases of liquor dealers arrested for viola tion of the Excise law. The following is a list of the number of arrests for violation of the Excise law telegraphed to Police Headquarters between Saturday midnignt and nine o'clock. last night :—First 8; Fourth, 11; Fifth, 41; Sixth, 4; | Seventh, 4; Eighth, 40; Ninth, 86; Tenth, 10; Eleventh, 13; Twelfth, 11; Thirteenth, 17; Fourteenth» 17; Fifteenth, 30; Sixteenth, 6; Seventeenth, 14; Eighteenth, 37; Nineteenth, 40; Twentieth, 10; | Twenty first, 24; Twenty-second, 14; Twenty-third, | 2; Twenty-seventh, 13; Twenty-ninth, 63; Thirty. | first, 8; Thirty-second, 13; Thirty-third, 2 Total, 472, ON THE BATTERY. CONDITION OF THE CONCRETE WALL-—HOW SOME OF THE “DOYS” AMUSE THEMSELVES, To residents of the lower portion of New York'the Battery Park is a breathing place of no little conse- quence. The advantages for rest and recreation it affords in the summer time are manifold, and to prove that they aro very generally enjoyed ono needa only t¢ | stroll down in’ that direction any fine afternoon or evening. As the sun declines toward the western hori- zon a breeze may always be felt there coming iresh from its passage over tho wa’ of the bay. Tho turf is now bright green, and the shade, little as it is, very grateful Unfortunately the white concrete at- tracts the san’s rays too much at noon, producing at times au intolerable giaro, At night, however, the broad walks are filled with long lincs of sauntering couples, squads of boys, rows of girls, and numerous family groups of infinite variety. It isto be Fogrotted, too, that beside the weary tollers resting after the labors of the day are found gangs of youthful idlers who never toil, and who will not suffer those who do to enjoy without molestation the recreation which Is there to be found. Some of the overgrowa and {!l-conducted boys who infest the Battery Park with their presence in the evening have exceedingly strange and romarkably offe ways of passing the time. Frequent compiaints are heard of their which the other habitués of [asi og would slew their —parente uate : ne, if they ever any, to correct, wero only con- if enough to avold intruding upon all who chance ay. But their profane language 1s said vo be too loud, and the pet names they call each other grate on the ears of some over fastidious people, Then they have a democratic way of jostling un} not of tl set, whose members have generally enough self-reliance to protect themselves, Strangers are made particularly the object ot their assaults, A gen- in, who happened to be on the a few ights ‘ago, reports the remarks he heard made by « | gang of those young roughs whi wo neatly dressed | and modestly behaved working girls passed al aod | these observations were not such as the polico should tolerate. If these youths were suppressed the Buttery would become a pléusanter resort of an evening. ir mutter calling for immediate atten- 'y, and that is the concrete walk sion; of the Buitery wail. The substratum of ea under the concrete slabs forming the walk has sumk at different points and the concrete has consequently been thrown out of ition, causing holes in many | places that endanger the limbs of pedestrians and hold the rain water for several days after a heavy shower. ‘Tho conerete itself is trayed and worn in many places, and daily becoming worse. If the damage, from whatever cause 10 proceeds, is permitted to continue | the whale walk along the side of the Battory facing the | sea must be taken up in a short time, or else it will a very shabby appearan Its condition, as it ee “in this Centennial y (s, detracts in no sight Measure from the otherwise very pleasing geueral ap- | pewrance of the Battory Park.
