IMPROVEMENT OF THE PUBLIC GROUNDS
IN WASHINGTON. M

We understand that the President has adopted
Mr.. Downing's plan for improving the Mall be-
tween the Capitol and the Potomac, and that
the work is soon to be commenced. We had
the pleasure of examining this plan whilst 1t
remained in the Library Of Congress during the
last session Of that body, 1t is designed upon
the English system of landscape gardening,
which we think is the best system. The drives
arc mostly ofthe serpentine character, and the
spaces between them laid off into hills and
dalos bcautifed with groups of trees and clumps
of shrubbery, 50 arranged as to prevent per-
son, whilst driving over these winding roads,

of the grounds, but leaving him to suppose that
he is passing over and around o beautiful park
of great extent, whilst in reality, the actual
dimensions will be quite limited.
