! ~ IPdutiul lawn WIN Wdlho al"
ornamental shIubbery stretches from the west
wing of the buildings to where the Governors
house stands surrounded by trees and gardens
In the midst of this lawn. standing in space by
itself, is the statue OF the founder, erected in
1854. 1t is of bronze and stands on an oval
pedestal of polished granite. Seven years ago
cows were pasturcI where now this beautiful
piece CT lawn and ornamental gardening IS and a
part Of it was swamp land, but Governor Trask
has made the wilderness blossom like the rose and
has had constructed back Of the lawn little
lake, where the old saioTs who make miniature
ships can sail them for the inspection of intend
Ing purchasers. \ row of neat little brick cot
tages stretches along the edge Of tie lawn beyond
the lake. which occupied by the "butcher,
the baker the nGlcstick-makcr,' and other
| functonarics of the place
OTHER BUILDINGS At THE HARBoR.
Set we'll back is the hospital, building Of
rather imposing appearance. This hospital has
a system of ventilation which is the delight of
sanitary experts, delegations Of whom from time
to time To study its workings There are
various other buildings scattered about, pccping
through trees and shrubbery. There is a house
for the physician. house for the chaplain, a
church. the obtrusivc architecture OF which
would offend the aesthetic sen5ihiltles OF a can
nibal bakery, a laundry, blacksmith shop,
n mortuary chapel and pavilion for the mentally
diseased To the eastward is vegetable gar
dcn and in the valley to the westward are COW
houses, stables and piggcry.
The whole forms village of 900 souls. The
first thing that lmpTcsses visitor on entering one
OF the buildings Of Sailors Snug Harhor is the
intense. almost painful, neatness and cleanliness
of every thing Never one of the old sea cap
taiEs laid up In ordinary there kept the decks OF
his ship cleaner by profuSc application of holy
stone and strong language than are these iioors

grandpa Neptune, and masiS and splrs on Wiich
birds of old countries are perched. The fanlighs
ard sidcehiS Of the doors are Of stained glass
and i'm the centre OF each IL some nautical design.
