The Work on the English Drive
 other Work.
 Very few improvements have been made at East Rock Park lately, although half the reg ular men employed at the Rock are being kept constantly at work repairing the roads and by-paths, and yesterday they were at work on the new English drive, which when completed will be one of the .pleasantest around the park. The money, $10,000 for this latter drive, was furnished by Ex- Governor English and is drawn from his bank account in amounts as needed by the park commissioners. Work will be con tinued on the Englis drive all summer. The ferry which runs between Rock Lane an6 the Farnam drive across Mill river last sum mer will not be continued this year as it die not prove success, and people desiring te reach the Rock by Whitneyville will bt obliged to cross the covered bridge over the lake and reach the Park at the rear o1 the rock.
