OTS HAPPY BUT Dances and Play on Green- sward, BUT WATER IS TOO SCARCE. Forty thousand children were romping ever Central Park. Everywhere hills, fewns and rambles showed, instead of the yellow-greens of early apring, undu- Jations of youngest New York garbed in fainbow colors, The happlest time of ‘ail the glad New Year had come around nce more, and hundreds of little May _ queens and thousands of flower and red- Wwhite-and-blue girls and boys were in the park to enjoy it. There were Margaret and Mary and Kate and Carolina, as well as dozens of Rachels and Elstes and Gretchens not “7 baa by the English poet of the The May queens walked under the gaudy tissue-paper canopies with sedate Queenliness. Their loyal subjects wound and unwound the gaudy streamers of the maypole, dancing on the green with ‘an enthusiasm rivalling that of the stage villagers at 60 cents a night. And 60 long as it was dancing or play- fing ball or riding in swan-boats or goat- garriages, young New York was as hap- pF a8 @ holiday and a etretch of green- ward could make it. It was only when ‘the games were done, when the {ce ream had been eaten and the peanut man bankrupted of his,stock that the @ame phrase sprang to a 1d. child- tah lips: “I want « drink!" \ Spoken at first with the muperd Minallty of childhood. the demand, be- fore it was satisfied, became a querulous ‘wail—in some cases dissolved in tears. ) Water Much Needed. } Worthen, as never before, the lack of @ proper supply of drinking water in Central Park was made manifest, ‘Heated from the games, parched by the Anocessant lUcking of peppermint sticks ‘and chocolate slabs, the tots ran hither and thither looking for water to quench their thirst., Many of the more fas- fidtous ‘had brought cups and tiny Blasses to drink from, but all had re- ied wpon being able to fill them in Central Park. Yet in the very neighborhood of its Yekes ond fountains, the little hands, Still dripping ¢rom immersion over the gides of the swan boats or sly reach- ings after lily buds in the ponds, thou- @ands of thirty tots saw water, water ‘every where, and not a drop to drink. "Dh scarcity of drinking fountains was appalling. Around the firet one en- ed after entering the Park at Firth avenue and Fifty-ninth street an Bivening World reporter counted twenty- tive ‘children struggling eagerly for a rink of water. Waile one little girl monopolized the tin cup provided by the Park apthorities half a dozen others crowded around her, filling glasses they had brought, and one thirsty May Queen had so far forgotten Be ther regal dignity as to stoop for- y ‘ward and lap the water ¢rom the basin fteelf, Passing on to the Mall and to the bell ground and the east green the @ame scene was repeated. Sometimes there were only crowds of children struggling for a drink.
