Concerning the Late NIT. Wright, the
 ROtamtaf.


 The late MT. Charles Wright of Wethe1s- field, the botanist, was in the same class ct Yale with Rev. J. A. Ayres and Professor Brocklesby, of Hartford, and Professor T. A. Thacher, of this city,
 Dr. Asa Gray of Cambridge, who is prob ably the leading botanist in the country, wrote of MT. Wright that:
 He has been not only capital and indefatigabe explorer and collector, but also an acute observer. | have myself profted not little by his observa- tions and critical remarks. Thanks to the system of nomenclature and the permanent preservation of collectors names in botany, MT. Wright's name is frequent and mperishable in the record of science He will always be known as having done very much to develop the botany of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona then of Japan and other parts of north: eastern Asia, and also of Cuba and San Domingo. ters of the world; and hardly any collectors have been more helpful to the botansts of this genera tion.
 Professor Daniel O. Eaton, of Yale college, wrote of him that:
 As collector of plants from the Arctic regions to the torrd and thence to the southern part of habtable world, and, acute and diligent ob- server of plants in their native regions, he stands almost without an eqnal Sir Joseph Hooker being the only equal can thinS of. While he has pub lished nothing in his own name, he has been of whole botanical world under great and lasting ob- legations
 The Courant says of his career: "Mr . WFlRnG WaS DOTu III w V0LuoTbu0lu OcCODer S0, 1911, and fitted for college at the Grammar school there. He early showed marked taste for botany. He went upon the North Pacific exploring expedition, sailing from Norfolk in 1853, returning in 1856. He went to Madeira, the Cape Verde islands, the Cape of Good Hope, where he collected 800 species of plants, Australia, Japan, China the Bornin islands, Kamschatka, Behring straits and California; thence he went to Central America and across the Mic aragua route. In the fall of 1856 he went to Cuba exploring. Before this he had b0tahized extensively in Texas, New Mexico and other southwestern regions. In 1871 he went with the government expedition to study San Domingo.

THE ENGLISH DRIVE.

The Route of the Park Highway
 Pushing the Work-About One Hun
 dred Men Busy On the Park-High
 Stone Walls-Erection of Number
 of Rustic Summer Houses at Pri-
 vate Expense-The Farnam Drive
 Extension Nearly Completed.
 Work on the English drive, East Rock Park, is being pushed forward. About one hundred men are at work on the Park mostly upon this drive. The larger part of the route of this drive has been, said Park Com missioner Blatchley yesterday, decided upon. tIt connects with the Farnam drive out upon the back of East Rock near the telephone box station and proceeds towards Indian Head mount, thence down around the eastern side of East Rock, intersecting the old Rock road and around to the front of the Rock to the level plateau in front of the old quarr1es about half way up the Rock. There the road curves around and returns eastward and passes entirely around Indian Head mount, or Mt. Sea All, to near the quarries in front of East Rock. In passing along the front of Indian Head it's elevation is about one third of the height of that rock, near. the base of the steep ascent of the rocky bluff. Here the roadway will have to be supported for some distance by wall of stone. On reaching again the vicinity of the old East Rock quarries the road will take another detour to the eastward, descending as it goes, and will then return and striking the present, or old road, at the base of East Rock front will connect with Orange street at the bridge This last specified portion of the road is subject to change. Observe also that the portion of the road first speci- fled starting from near the telephone police station is the road started last year to con nect with the road out Bishops Gate to State street. As far as completed it forms part of the English drive. Also section of the road will be built on the top of East Rock which will make a second connection with Farnam drive. To support the English roadway on the east side of East Rock as 1t approaches the old quarries, wall of stone 45 feet high and from 200 to 300 feet long Is being erected.
 "Also this year nice approach to Bishops Gate, State street, has been made. This DOT tion of the road was in a crude state and very sandy. It has been hardened and graded and greatly improved for distance ot oUo or ooU feet from the gate.
 "Also the work of completing the Farnam drive, done through the liberal gift of Mrs. Farnam, is about complete"
 Another improvement of the park is being done at the private expense of MT. W. w. Farnam, who is erecting rustic arbors or shelter houses at convenient points for the public There will be six or seven of them and several are already erected. One of them stands about two-thirds of the way to the top of East Rock near the old road. They will be very pleasant resting places for the public and add to the picturesque appear ance of the park as we'll.

AT HIGH ROCK.
The Reunion of the Futile Family
 KeRterdaY.

The Reunion of the Futile Family
 Yesterday. Four carloads of Tuttles left this city about o'clock yesterday morning for High Rock Grove to attend the fifth annual reun- ion of the descendants of William Futile, who with his wife Elizabeth came from Eng land in 1889 and settled in this city. About three hundred Tuttles from different places were present at the Grove during the day and among the most prominent ones were: Samuel G. Davidson of Bethany, George F. Futile, Dwight w. Futile and Grove J. Tut tie of New Haven, H. M. Beecher, New Haven; Dr. Frank B. Futile, Naugatuck; A. A. Marks, Riverside; Deacon Edmund Tut tie, Meriden; George w. Chatfeld, New Ha- uen; Albert R. Snow, Hamden; Marcus Woodend, Handen; Arthur Futile and Wes- ley Futile of New Haven, besides other Tut ties. The oldest Futile there was Mrs. Aba gail Futile of Seymour, aged 86, who was accompanied by her sisters, Mrs. Benham and Mrs. Warner.
 After good dinner at noon prayer was offered and then the following hymn was sung by those present:
 Our friends G and and Kindred ed dear,
 At annual call.
 Let hills and valleys ring
 With praises, while we sing,
 To Him who blessings bring,
 On one and all.
 Twas William, came OCT sea, Our honored family tree,
 And took firm stand;
 And may the name inspire
 Our minds with high desire,
 To love our honored sire
 Who found this land.

 Songs of the loudest praise,
 In yladSome song.

Criticism and Defense.

Nothing can be fairer object Of criticism
than doctrines advanced for the instruction
and conversion of the public. Any associa-
ton of public instructors, like the Anar-
chists. who have faith in their creed, ought
to be glad to hear and explain all objections.
When a journal will publish criticism and
is also willing to print the defense, the fail
ure Of the latter to appear is due to one of
three things: the critic is unworthy of at
tention; or the criticism is sound and unan-
swerable; or the defense does not compre-
hend the scope of the criticism, and its bear
ings upon the subject.
Instead of barking at the heels of Anar-
ehists have met them face to face; turned
their arguments and illustrations against
themselves; shown that the facts, the laws,
the history and the literature to which they
appeal does not support them. For this lit
tie genius or originality is required. My
conclusions lie upon the face of facts, anyone
could point them out.
If my reasoning be faulty, it would be
much easier and more graceful to prove it so
by better reasoning, than to answer solely
by hard words. have put fair questions

Of preaching the ways and means Of gaining
the object itself. The wars and means are
so distasteful to the people that few converts
are made. To make it attractive, the beau
ties of new industrial system should be
kept constantly in view, leaving the disa-
greeable sacrifices in the background even if
they think them unavoidable. The people
hope to progress without bloodshed; offer
them a remedy which makes fighting its

Since there is such oower or faculty

reason. A young actress, personifying

amid the e1ultant shouts of an immense
throng. Yet. France, at the end of all
the bloodshed and confusion, lapsed
again into the grip otmonarchy and des-

mankind are slowly, yet perceptiblY,

the present movement is to be superior
as an index, or landmark, of human
progress than previous movements.
Furthermore, as civilization is gaining
in compIexity, so social and political
movements are likewise gaining in COM

ity of taking in the situation in all its de-
tails. There is such thing as getting be-
