Mnrnick Park Opened.

This new and beautiful summer resort
WAS opened yesterday by the officers OF
the company and a few invited guests.
Owing to the bad weather in April
some of the improvements were necessa-
rily DELAYED, but there are as many as
twenty-five workmen engaged in push
ING the work 10 completion. Enough
had already been done 10 draw forth ex-
clamations of surprise and pleasure from
tho visitors. The large and beautiful
shade-trees. the copiOus springs. the
paths and roadway, the spacious and
well-arranged pavilion, with ITS fine
upper floor prepared for dancing and
its lower floor fitted for refreshments,
elected much admiration.
This park has been designed and laid
out with the expectation OF making 1t
one of the finest in the South. A large
SUN of money has been spent in under
draining. irrigating, and fertllzing the
land. and heavy expense has been In
cured in making the locslity perfect as
regards its sanitary condition. The
landscape effects are being experimental
upon 80 as to produce the best results.
The presence OF several batteries still in
a good state OF preservation afford an
excellent opportunity OF displaying skill
in this respect
Among those present, and who ex-
pressed themselves as much pleased with
the aspect of the park, was the we'll
known artist, John Elder. Esq. Repre-
sentativcs from the city officials and
from the legal, financial, railroad, and
river circles we're present, and many
ladies added interest 10 the occasion.
