In conjunction with Putnam park, it

is but recently organized and is devoted
TO hunting and fishing. A tract of 125
acres has been secured by the club and
dam built across stream flowing from
the park, by which pond about 40 acres
In extent has been formed. This will be
stocked with various kinds of fish and the
remainder of the clubs domain is sup
members only. Their dam, which was
built under the supervision of Senator
Bartram, is of earth with cement core
and Is perfectly water tight. The. con-
stitution and by laws provide that menu
bership shall be limited to so and that
and shall be paid to the treasurer in such
sums and at such times AS the board OF

about 80 in all, are at work grading about
the main entrance and in other parts of
the park, Superintendent Bartram, who
spends his time here, having his eye on
the whole. One of the pieces of work of
which he is especially proud is the ter
raced sidewalk, six feet wide and about
two feet above the level of the road bed,
extending for $50 feet along the west side
of the Sherman turnpike, from the foun-
tain north.
In doing this work (and no one can de-
nv that a great deal has been accom-
plished,) all but about $4,000 of the $780,
900 appropriated by the State for the
Identification of Putnam park has been
expended. That the expenditure was ju-
dicious is witnessed by the statement of
gentleman of experience, who, after in
speeding the park, expressed surprise
that so little had been spent and declared
that triple the sum would have been in
sufficient, in other localities, and under
other circumstances. to accomplish an
equal amount of work. For the $1,000
log cabins, entrances remain to be fin
ished, besides contemplated improve
ments in various parts of the 81 acres
| contained in the park. As is we'll known,
Superintendent Bartram has bought a
| tract of land north of the former park
limits and has, at his own expense. i'm
proved it considerably. This he will I'M
doubtedly deed to the State. Oliver b.
Jennings of Fairfield, who is one of the
special camp ground commission, and
who donated much of the land now COM
prised within the park, talks of putting
up cottage there. He and the other
members of the commission, which in
cluded Isaac n. Bartram, Charles Burr
Todd, o. B. Jennings, Clement A. Sharp,
GLAND H. Blanchard, j. E. Miller and s.
S. Amber, are pleased with the progress
made. There hes recently been slight
| change in the commission, G. b. Todd re
signing the office of secretary, to which
s. S. Amber succeeded.
The center of interest, as matter OF
course, is at the southern or main en-
trance and, at the monument. near which
are the ancient fire backs or remains of
the log huts in which Putnam's heroic
troops passed the long, cold Winter OF
1 l77s-79. Here great part of the money
has been expended and here are many
views which would repay the careful at
tention of an artist. Particularly strik.
4 ing is the view of the main entrance from
! a point in front of the fountain and it il
this that Superintendent Bartram has
had drawn and engraved, showing tn
4 whole as it will appear when finished.

THE D. NJ. READ COMPANY.

Passing the fountain, one is confronted
by broad gateway, the double gates or
which bear the words, putnam park,
while on the small gates at the sides, for
foot passengers, is the coat of arms of
the State. The pillars at the gates are
unique and striking, consisting of mas
sive tower of masonry, surmounted by
a perfect miniature of the log block house
of the days of yore. On either side are
log stockades, the timbers notched and
loopholed after the fashion of the faith
ers, while, at the right, is the ancient
bridge over the small stream which dash
es down the valley. This bridge is to re-
main unchanged and block of granite
has been set up at each corner to mark
the location.
Just within the gates is an elaborate
stone arch bridge over the same stream,
with wall of masonry at the right,
whose castellated top is but few feet
above the driveway. A few steps fur
Their and the visitor stands before the SOL
id, massive monument to Putnam, which
has been described in the BEE. The
rocky base of the monument has been
| cleared of grass and bushes and the rocks
which remain add to the fitness of the
surroundings. Here the road divides,
one branch passing to the right and
through nearly the center of the park
and entering near the northern entrance
the other, skirting pretty little lake,
formed by dam which has been built
across gorge, with a modern gate house
above passes around the outside of the
park and forms the overlook road, from
the highest point Of which an admirable
view Of the surrounding country is OBJ
tanned.
This road is wide and of easy grade,
with culverts, retaining walls and ter
raced Sides It is of sufficient length to
afford a fine drive, full of curves and
turns suddenly down hill, at the fur
ther end, passing stone and log build
ing, typical of the storehouses OF cen
fury ago. A short distance below, a
plank walk leads up an incline to the
Iopening in the rocks known as Philips
leave. This ends Lookout road, which
quickly debouches into the road leading
| to the northern entrance. The pillars
and gates here are similar to those at the
main entrance, but less ornate, while the
elaborate stone work has been omitted.

remnant of case knife or dagger, picked
up near the monument. But the most
interesting are buttons and coins. of
which Il number have been found. a
few days ago, a curious button, about as
large as a soc piece, was picked up near
the base of the monument. 1t was prob
ably the property of some one who had
but recently left foreign land and was
evidently the coat of arms of some fam
lily. 1t was deeply conceived and bore in
relief the outlines of a rocky glen, with
tree at the right; on the left, stone
castle with buildingsattached. Another

A third was coin or token dated 1740,
bearing on one side female figure and
the word ssBrittannia, on the other the
head of man and the Latin inscription,
ssGeorgius III Rex" This collection of
relics, to which Senator Bartram will add
number of other articles of historic or
other value, will prove an interesting
feature of the park.
Those who were inclined to scott at-a
public park in Redding and have depre.
Gated the expenditure of so much of the
States surplus in this way should visit
the park. They will find much to inter
est and entertain them, something which
| may change their unfavorable opinion OF
the project. They should remember, al
so, that not alone for this or the next
generation, but for those far in the flu
ture, this park will be memorial OF
Putnam and of his men, as well as of the
times in which they lived and the sturdy,
upright and simple hearted people OF
whom they formed part.

of the time, when day men are in charge,
about as many trains are run, but the

rapidly becoming an important railroad

busiest on the lower part of the Housa-

The Shepaug is nowhere rushing riy-
err 1t is, rather, like babbling brook
and most fascinating in its curves and
stony ways and sandy shadows. Prob
ably the most lovely spot along the
whole line of railway is just at Roxbury
Falls, where, in sequestered nook, is a
beautiful piqpieresort, the musical plash-
4 ing of thewaters and the romantic sur
roundings making the spot decidedly at
tractive. Above Roxbury are the quar-
ries of Mine Hill granite, which is ship
ped far and wide for building purposes.

Putnam Memorial Park.

Redding is not deficient in attractions,
natural and artificial, and many are the
visitors to its wild and beautiful scenery
and it's inviting homes; but all other OBJ
jects sink into insignificance when COM
pared with Putnam memorial park, real
ly the only public work in the town.
though still far from finished, it is daily
inspected and admired by visitors who
walk or ride from neighboring towns. In
the vicinity of the grounds.the sceneryis
wild and broken aud the landscape pre-
sents little indication of inhabitants. On
seeming wilderness and are surprised at
suddenly coming upon an entrance to the
park. There are two of these, ON the old
Sherman turnpike, the main or lower en-
trance being near the monument erected
to the memory of sturdy Old Put and
other scarcely less daring and worthy
Revolutionary heroes; the other is at the
1urther extremity of the grounds, and is
less imposing, although the same gener-
al style is observed in both.
A BEE reporter who visited the grounds
was impressed with the changes which
had been made since he first inspected the
locality on the occasion of the visit of the
Legislature. Then, all was rough, the
day was cold and stormy, the grounds
were traversed only with considerable
exertion and fatigue and the reporter, as
is perhaps not unnatural, failed to become
enthused. But, on his last visit, he found
that the road to the park, as one ap.
breaches from the south, had been grad
ed and widened and an iron water tanl
for horses set up near the entrance. The
earth taken from the bank beside the
road is used to grade about the entrance
gates, where much time and money hal
ly completed, present very attractive
appearance.
As the road widens and leads at either
side to the gates, triangle is formed, il
the center of which will stand 4 rockery
the design of which, with that of much
other work about the gates and the parl
was evolved by Senator Bartram of Shar-
on, who has been superintendent since
work was commenced. This rockery
will be about II feet in diameter and Ii
feet high and will be composed Of native
rock, besides many curious bits Of ore
and stone, among which may be men

The Picturesque shepaug.

As the 6 p m train pulled out of the
Hawleyville station northward bound for
Litchfield, your correspondent seated
himself at the window in the extreme end
of the rear car to take in the beautiful
view on either side for which the She
paug road has become celebrated. With
possibly two or thrre sections, there is
not a direct line of so rods the entire
length Of the road. Following, as il
does, the valley Of the Shepaug rivel
and now and again crossing and recross

be more crooked than it is and one recall
