A GARDEN INDEED.

ADORNED FOR THE GILMORE CONCERTS.
The nIeasantest of surroundings have been arranged
for those VINO wish TO attend the concerts of Gilmore

This platform is surrounded by grove of evergreens
relieved by Towering plants, while electric lamps Oh

In front of the platform space Is hlied In WIN
seats for those who wish to be near the band. IL Is
equal to a good-szcd concert hail. but takes up only
small part Of the amphtheatre. Behind these chairs
are two rows of evergeens, irregular enough to look
unconventional and forming an avenue TO the main
entrance few tables are set in the angles leII pS
the Irregularities of these hedgerows and outside them
| are many more tables and more rows oil trees ana
| flowers around the edges Of the arena. In the ar

without much exaggeration, care has been taken to
interfere as little possible with the lines OF Sght
from the arena seats and boxes. The walls and ROOF
are also decorated with festOons of laurel The deco
raons make the whole garden unusually attractive and
show its size to better advantage perhaps, than it

From The UOstOn Post.
| read the other day In an English newspaper that
the head servant in prominent London household
had given notice that he would leave because he was
excluded from the dningr0Om during dinner and 50
lost the tests Of his master and Of the company Such
is the statement of the fact in it's bald simplicity Yet
can hardly reconcile this occurrence with my views
upon Ell glish humOr For judging from the examples
or specimen blocks seen In Punch and In the bur
lesqes that sent across the Atlantic II In
credible that any seespecting man. even In servants
livery would not gladly seize the opportunity OF cs-
cape so generously offered by an indulgent master.
