It raises serious doubts of the Mayor's ability to carry the| election, unless new alignments are made to win over dissatisfied | Republicans. The Republican Party contributes two-thirds of the strength | of the Fusion movement. The disclosure of « considerable op- | position in its ranks to the Mayor's renomination shows weakness | behind the intrenchments that may be classed as almost critical. | Former Senator Bennett, who came so near beating the | Mayor, has no particular personal following, nor is he « favorite, with Republican machine managers, who did not give him their | support. His vote can be counted as expressing more of opposi- tion to the Mayor than any particular adhesion to himself. That this is the meaning of the primaries is emphasized by the vote cast for the Mayor's companions on the Fusion ticket, Prendergast and Adamson, who overwhelmed their opponents on the Bennett ticket. The principal point of Republican opposition to Mayor Mitchel lies in Brooklyn, where the party has by far its greatest strength and from which the Fusion managers counted on a large vote on election day to offset local popularity of Judge Hylan, the Democratic nominee for Mayor. What might have been the result if Bennett had either status | as a regular Republican or the backing of organization leaders may well cause Fusion managers to study seriously the new situ- ation. —— USING CENTRAL PARK. OMMON SENSE and a master hand are to transform the old q Reservoir site in Central Park into sowething better than the - proposed sunken garden that would be merely a beautiful ~_ picture to the artistic eye.

Mr. Thomas Hastings, whose genius has created many beautiful structures in this world, has taken in hand these thirty-seven abandoned acres for creation of a spot to rival the public gardens of the Luxembourg in Paris and Kensington in London in the beauty of usefulness, At last we shall have attained the hitherto “keep off the grass” signs. i While we are fixing up Central Park, The Evening World sug- geste ectting aside a few acres of greensward for a “soap-box| reservation.” A corner of Hyde Park, in J.ondon, is the safety valve of the British nation, where long-haired males and short-haired femalee can talk themselves hoarse on Sunday afternoons, so long as nobc.dy starts a fight. | want thein not to love him, “Now, he thinks he is a model hus band.
