THE "WHETHER" AND THE PARKS.

To ask The RANGER and the Right Honourable Mr. PLUNKET, or

"_Plunketto_," as the name appears in the opera of _Marta_--

_Whether_ there cannot be some improvement made in that Despondent

Slough known as Rotten Row?

[Illustration]

_Whether_ Kensington Gardens, now sacred to nursery-maids and their

charges, and a few loungers, couldn't be opened up with one or two

good rides right across, and a few intersecting bridle-paths, after

the fashion of the Bois de Boulogne, and thus relieve the monotony of

the Row, which is getting more and more Rotten after every shower, and

more and more crowded every summer?

_Whether_, as every equestrian is rightly complaining, something

cannot be done in time for the season of 1892?
