Niagara Fall, Presented to the Public

The ceremonies attending the presentation
of Niagara Falls park to the public we're OBJ
served at the Falls on the 18th inst.
At the appointed hour Bishop Coke COM
menced the proceedings with prayer. Mr.. Dor
sheimer then read a communication which he
had received from the governor general of
Canada, In witch that dignitary returned
thanks for the invitation extended him and
congratulated the United States upon the pro
ject entered upon.
Ex-Lleut. Gov. Dorshemer, president of the
commission, then made the presentation adj
dress, after which Gov Hill nc cepted the reser-
walton on behalf of the people OF the state OF
New York. There were about 20 900 people In
the park, In which the avilion had been
erected.
The events leading to make Niagara free are
as follows: In 1879 Gov. Robinson, in O mes
sage to the Legislature, suggested that
measures be taken to pres rye the scenery Of
the Falls, and that they should be secured as
state reservation, intimating that the Canadian
authorities were willing to cooperate with
New York in the project. In May OF the same
year the legislature directed the Com
missloners of the state survey to investigate
and report on the practicability Of making
state reservation Of the land In the immediate
vicinity Of the falls. In their report the COM
mission urgently recommended the acquire
ment OF the lands in question provided they
could be secured at reasonable figures. In
1880 bill was introduced into the l. gislature
for that purpose, la. not until 1853 was a bill
