quiet road brings them to wavy

Lurlines are holding practice
regatta. Then by shady avenue they
came to placid Harriet, on whose
gently modulating surface hundreds OF
gay boats ply to and fro. The bOule-
ward that encircleS the lake is three
miles long, but the scenery
is so quieting and the breezes
so fresh that no one in the party will
regret its length. A short drive
might end here, in which case the sight
seers would return over the Hennepin
avenue boulevard until they arrived
again at Central park. Or they may 60
on by the Minnehaha boulevard to the
state park, entering it near the falls
made famous by Longfellow. After a
visit to the soldiers home and a pause
at the falls, the return to the city is
pleasantly made by the broad Mime
haha avenue.
THE POSSIBILITIES.
The park commission has made no
plans yet for the improvement of the
state park, but as soon as the financial
matters pertaining to the award are set
tied, money will be put into the park,
within sixty days, at the far
theSt, the commissioners now think.
The immediate improvements will
consist III a general clearing
up of the ground, laying sod and
tearing down some unSightly buildings
that cucumber the ground. Then the
park will be made more accessible by
the laying out of drives and the bridg-
ing of Minnehaha creek. The commits
sion will then rest until Mr.. Cleveland,

the well-known landscape architect,
who has laid out nearly all the park
grounds for the board, has had time to
make plan that will coincide with the
layout of the soldiers home grounds.
Indeed, there is no immediate neces-
sity of extensive improvements. Nature
has done so much for Minnehaha that
the little man can do is to preserve
its natural features. If that is done,
the park will always remain one of the
most beautiful spots on earth. But the
ground abouDds in opportunities for the
labor of the landscape artist. Deep
ravines and abrupt windings of the
creek make room for sudden surprises.
The river banks are high, precipitous
and covered with a fine growth of trees.
Of the natural beauties of the situation
PROFESSOR CLEVELAND,
who has been over the ground again
and again, says: II wish 1 possessed
such power of description as would
enable me to convey my own cOncep-
tion of the possibilities which are here
opened to us. 1t is all wild now, and
difficult of access, and those who sue
ceed IN reaching the river bank
find themselves looking down from
feet upon a rapid stream whose
banks are sometimes steep hillsides,
sometimes Overhanging precipices and
sometimes expanding in graceful nat
ural terraces or scanned by deep trans
verse ravines, but everywhere clothed
in richest verdure; gigantic elms, linden
and ash trees on the lower
ground, birch. maple, box-elder and
hornbeam springing from the
hillsides, and wild vines and
shrubbery clothing ana overhanging the
precipices, with here and there the
picturesque form OF an aged cedar or
pine wreathing its roots in fantastic
forms among the rocks. We fail to APP
preciate its beauty row, for everything
about it is in keeping with its native
wildness: but fancy the effect of such
scenery being opened to your view as
you ride luXuriously along a magnifi-
cent avenue. lined on the inner side
with fine public and private buildings.
and intersected at intervals by other
streets and avenues stretching away in
long lines of perspective, while OIL the
opposite side of the river the same
thing is repeated, the banks themselves
being preserved in their native wild
ness, but developed and interpreted by

THE LAKE IN CENTRAL PARK.

promises to be the finest suburban
driveway in the city, except the Lake
of the Isles boulevard. On the latter
considerable work will be done this
summer. There is balance of nearly
$4,000 to be expended there, and the
work has already begun in the impor-
tant labor of dredging the lake and
beautifying the shores.
THE ONLY OTHER PARK
that connects with this system of drives
is Prospect park, whose situation on the
high ground in the northern part of the
city is the most agreeable of any of the
parks. From the observatory Oh the
brow Of the hill is one of the finest
views of the city obtainable anywhere.
No special mention has been made of
the several small local parks. which,
nevertheless, play an important part in
the daily existence of the residents in
their locality. They are distributed
equitably over the city, and form the
pleasure grounds of the rich and
poor in the hours of leisure. The
entire system is evidence of the mar
vel Gus push and energy Of Western
men. In no other six years of the ex-
istence of the city has half so much
been accomplished for the good Of the
greatest number as has been accom-
plished by the park commission.

decided to appropriate $500 as premiums
for the florists, and the result will be a
superb floral exhibit. Masonic Day will
probably occur on the dedication of the
Masonic Temple. and the other days on
dates to be designated. They will all
prove valuable to the Exposition, as
they will bring large number of visit

Taken as a whole, the exposition of
1889, both in point Of attendance and
attractiveness. bids fair to rival its pre-
decessors. Since its inception in 1885,
subsequently opening after only eighty

have added untold value to city prop

add themselves to the population OF

done by the commission has
fallen very lightly on the taxpayers
as by an equitable system of assess

enabled TO pay in full for the land
taken, out of the funds acquired from the
surrounding property owners. who IN
turn have gained immensely through
the increased value of their property.

control fifteen parks whose area, land
