ENJOYING THE PLEASANT WEATHER

gloomy cloud OF gray hung over the city yes
to-day morning but the afternoon bright The
fine weather was greatly enjoyed by the Children
who visited the parks in large numbers.
In the early morning the writer ran across a party
OF small girls In City Hall Park. who said something
about wanting TO see the animals. The party was
taken up to Central Park. How these little chi'dren
did enjoy the trip for after wondering at the AMI
mails in the menagerie they romped around the
lawns and probably. on their arrival home, mad
an interesting story tell their parents OF their
travels such beautiful day.
Yesterdays weather was perfect as one
could wish for and the promise Is for Its repetition
to-day.

Mount Vernon is divided into three parts The
c,,v proper which was incorporated as village
IN 1851 with a population OF 1870. Is composed OF
al that part which lies south and east OF the
New-York New Haven and Hartford Railroad cut
The village was one OF the results Of the Home
stead movement in which Horace Greeley TOOK
an active part and the three farms which were
the nucleus of the village occupied the ground
which now forms the central or business part OF the
thriving city and which the older inhabitants still
refer 10 the village.
Another part OF the city is Chester HILL which
occupies the high ground Of the park. which
was swamp years ago. but which has been re-
claimed and beautfed and which now forms one
OF the attractive features OF the city The park
contains many OF the finest homes OF the city
and Is traversed by broad avenues and we!l-kept
streets When this part Of the city was laid out
restrictive measures adopted and in conse-
ouence Of these no undesirable buildings have been
erected and no property sold TO Objectionable
people 1t has always been looked upon as the best
residence district in the city, which has had
tendency 10 enhance the value OF real estate.
recently published statement places the assessed
valuation Of Chester Hill at about $4,000.
The third part is known West Mount Vernon.
