PARK MATTERS.
Talk OF "A Path for wheelmen Through

Talk OF Path for wheeImen Through
Brandywine Park = Two Troublesome
Spiilways.
There is some talk Of petitioning the
Board OF Park commissioners TO con-
struct a pathway for bicycle riders in
Brapdywine Park. Some wheelmen
are now using the footpaths, which is
dangerous practice and which re-
Gently caused lady to come to grief.
A member Of the park board recently
informed reporter of The Gazette
that suitable path could be con
structed at minimum cost and he
thought it quite probable that the
matter might be considered at some
future date.
There are two troublesome spillways
on the north side of the south race,
which cross the path between the race
and the Brandywine, and when the
race is full it is impossible to cross the
spillways without getting the feet wet.
The spillways are TO accommodate the
overflow. The Park Commissioners
will probably petition the Board of
Water Commissioners to have them
covered so that pedestrians will be able
to cross them at all times.
Tho matter of making an attractive
entrance at Market street, which was
suggested by Engineer Leisen at the
last meeting of the board, has been
commented on considerably, and some
of the commissioners are inclined to
think if the triangular plot of ground
could be secured at nominal figure it
would be capital idea to make the
purchase, which would admit of an
entrance that would be an ornament to
the city as we'll as to the park.

rare collection of old coins, the most
ancient of the collection being a
Dehrenberg form dated 1923, which is
we'll preserved. The most interesting
feature OF the collection are American

the present time, each year of that
time being represented. There are
also English and Colonial pennies
dated 1724 and 1888 respectively.
Years ago Mr.. Sterile took great in

collection, and IA years ago he put his
collection in the hands of friend to

forgot about them until few days ago,
when the friend informed him that he
still had the collection as it had been
handed to him, and he returned them
to the original owner.

Samuel f. Smith, author of "Ameri-

and member of the class Of 90:
Dear Master of the tuneful Tyre,
How shall we breathe the word "FaIe.
we'll 2"
How shall we touch the trembling wire
Which vibrates with thy mystic spell
The world seems poor of thee berefl-
The evening sky without the sun,
The setting. not the gem is left,
The frame remains, the picture gone.
AS birds that float on heavenward wing,
Unseen, the air with music fill,
Singing, they soar and, soaring, sing
Thy broken harp yields music still.
Lifes golden bowl was dashed too soon,
But love still holds thy cherished name;
No sunset thine, but fadeless noon,
No shadow, but immortal fame
So the dear chrysalis we hide,
For Gods safekeeping, in the tomb,
And in firm hope and faith we bide
The dawn that breaks the silent gloom.
Wait the fair day, the glorious hour
The precious form enshrined in clay,
Instinct with new creative power,
Shall wake and heayenward soar away.
