HAMILTON PARK.

Tie Favorite Breathing Spot of Nurses,
Children and Others.
That favorite airing spot for the people
of the Second district, Hamilton Park, as
the weather grows warmer, is receiving
its usual quota of visitors. In the day
time it is crowded with children and
pretty nurses with their baby charges. In
the evening the tired laborer n mechanic
enjoys the rest and shade beneath the big
trees. while the most secluded benches are
occupied by loving couples. On account
of this latter state of affairs a well known
variety actor some time ago created a great
deal OF laughter when he told his audience
that the city authorities had determined
to change the name of Hamilton Park to
Hamilton Orchard, on account of the large
quantity of pairs pears) found beneath
Che trees.
Hamilton Park has been so often de-
scribed and incidentally maligned that
there is not much left to say about 1t. The
park, when a JERSEY CITY NEWS reporter
walked through it last night, presented a
neat appearance. The grass is just be-
ginning to spring up and the walks have
been thoroughly oyerhauled. The benches
have all been placed in position and the
fountain has received a new coat of paint.
Three men are employed during the day
keeping the park in good condition.
