The leading: firms of carriage builders, who arexsatura'Jy keenly interested In th- Question, are ofopinion that horse-drawn vehicles are regal ameasure of their lost popularity With the wealthyclasses. Then, the International Iforee Show atOlympia is said to have materially helped tlie car-rtagw industry.

"Itwould not be corrt-ct to say that tbare la any-thing in tin nature of a boom in the carriage build-ing trade," th« manager of a well known firm In-formed a representative of "The Daily Mail." "batduring the last few months there have been gratify-ing slijns of a healthy improvement.

PROSPERITY IN POTATOES.From The Kansas City Star.

Potatoes $i a bushel and yielding from a hun-dred and lifty to two hundred bushels to the acre,

with railroad switches running riKht through thefields Such Is the story of the prosperity of thepotato grower of Indian Territory this season.iif course, every potato grower did not raise two

hundred bushels to the acre, and boom of theirpotatoes do not grade up to the dollar class. BuiWill Garrett marketed two hundred bushels froman acre on his farm and got $1 a bushel for them.and there are numberless Instances where wholefields are. averaging from a hundred and twenty-five to a hundred and fifty bushels an acre.

The potatoes were planted vr> earl) this sea-son—most of them In February, and the weatherconditions at that time were remarkably good.Later in the season, however, the weather condi-tions appeared as bad as it was possible for themto get. it was very cold, there whs lots of ram.and apparently the potatoes, like all other crops,were doing no good. It has sbMC developed that,while the potatoes wen not making vines, theywere making good root and spread out In theground. Th- bis surprise came when the diggingbegan anil the yield was so enormous.

In the last few months the officials have hadremove,! some two hundred and fifty old trees

and a great number of stumps and plan cd aboutsix hundred new trees. Tins., cost about $« eaefcThe trees planted on th. upper portion of;the

road were Norway maples, and those nearConey Island English elms. Thirty employes

are kept busy now watering and otherwise look-;

In* after the young piants. Similar work has

been going on in the park. Th« re about eight

hundred old trees and many wagon "adsstumps were rooted out and replaced by from

six hundred to seven hundred new trees of allvarieties, costing from $t! to $10 each

During the summer two park buildings havebeen opened, both worthy of note. One is thegreat locker building on the Parade GroundsIt is built of brick and wood, and has large

wooden columns across its front, its cost was

about SGO.OOO. The building, with its many

rooms for athletic clubs, Its thousand lockersand Its baths, was sorely needed. The neigh-

i( ,MII Parade Grounds are popular, ami an end-

less number of clubs. interested In all manner Jof athletic sports, frequent Its broad and level

acres in the spring, Bummer and fall. Hie oldlocker buildings were little more than shanties.They were put up about thirty-five years ago

merely for temporary us.-, and they stayed, tobe a disgrace to the park.

Another eyesore, just torn down after having

streached its ugly form over what is one of thepretties! nooks along the lake front for somethirty years, Is the old boathouae. It alsowas put up merely as a temporary structure.The new boathouse, not far from the site of theold. but In a better situation, is one of the mostattractive buildings of its kind Inany park, it is

said. It Is built of white terra cotta tiles, withgreen decorations. Before It Is a granite pierfor the boatmen. With the land Improvementsabout it this building cost $95,000. While itmay not accommodate the crowds which the oldstructure could hold, it is at any rate far moreIn keeping with the surroundings.

Like all the other city departments, the ParkDepartment is having trouble in getting what itwants. For a year or so it hits been trying toget a bidder to build a tennis locker building.The sum of $00,000 has been appropriated forthe purpose by the city fathers, and the lowestbidder willnot do the work for less than $6*1.000.The structure when it is put up will be of gran-

ite and Indiana limestone. Itis greatly needed.Thousands of young people play tennis on theLong Meadow every summer day, and there arenow no locker accommodations for them. It isproposed to put the building on one of theknolls near the 7th street path. The buildingof this structure will enable the officials to teardown the ugly and rotting shelter on the sthstreet path. A similar temporary shelter willsoon be built near the Wlttink entrance, on th.>opposite side of the park. The land near theWlllink entrance is less developed, and it is amuch greater distance from the Park Slope dis-trict of the city. In time, also, the neighbor-ing merry-go-round Is soon to follow the so-called "picnic shelter" to the Wllltak entrance

Another feature thai Is soon to disappear fromthe park la the .swanboat. The swan boats havebeen manipulated for many years on the littlelake nenr the Oth street path. The lake, likethe duck pond across the. park. is deep, its bot-tom having been taken for the use. of the longlake. The park authorities have determined thatIt has menaced the lives of the children ofBrooklyn long enough. The whole swanboa<lake is now to be remodelled, paths are to bebuilt around It, trees and shrubs are to beplanted and aquatic plants set out in the water.This work has already been begun. ft will costbetween $10,000 and $12,000.

This is to be followed In time by the removalof the duck pond, probably. It ia »*»*.««wM.
