The avenue is so named because of its many parks, which are enclosed by high iron railings which surround the man-holes that lead into the Harleru railroad tunnel. The policeman on post noticed several men lurking about the railings of the enclosure at Sixty-Seventh street, who, as he approached, would walk away. On reaching the pólice station he reported the mat ter to the sergeant on (luty, who spoke to one of the detectives. The next night the men appeared again, a id, when no one was about, as they thought, cümbed over the fence and were lowering a rope through a manhole into the tunnel below when they were surprised by the officers and taken to the pólice station. Upon being questioned it was learned that their names were Edmund Collier, Thomas Garrick, James Phis'oc and George Adams, who explained that their purpose was to get the exact measurement of the man-hole and number of feet to the bottom of the tunnel. When asked his reason for so doing Mr. Collier explained that the location was one of the principal scènes to be used in the production of "The Cross-R-iads of Life" at the Star theatre. The laugh was on the officers, who enjoyed the joke hugely, and who prornised to pay to see the lïrst performance. This scène is one of the most realistic in melo-drama, and may be seen in "The CrossRoads of Life," with Mr. Edmund Collier as Capt. Dick Hawthorne. At the Grand opera house, on February 13.
