We do not agree with the Herald as to it
opinion concerning the best locality for park

beauty and its shade. 1t would be much bet.
ter to obtain piece of ground improved by
man or nature. Col. Phillips property would
be suitable. because there is already fine
grove upon it. and beautiful hedge surround
ing it. Very little more money judiciously ex
pended would make it = delightful place. l,
is large enough in itself, without extending it:
bounds. II that cannot be obtained there ]:
plenty of land cast Of the river with fine nat
ural groves. which needs but the ''iinisiins
touches" to make Of it beautiful park.
