opera house on Wednesday night was a
pleasing success though there were sew
eral invited who did not attend. This
caused the financial part to fall below
what was expected but this had no
effect upon those present. AT first the
intention of the committee was to maize
a surprise On the leader, John l.. Glib,
but that idea was abandoned as they
thought it would not be best, The pri-
mary object OF the party was to give the
proceeds to Mr.. Glib in recogL ition OF
his faithful and untiring efforts as lead
or of choir. Under his direction our
choir has made more advancement and
a better record than ever before, though
other leaders have done their best UNI
der the circumstances. =.
The proceeds amounted to 5000 and
the expenses were $3.50 which LETT Il
balance of $40 but as the leader and

Mr.. Burlingame Reals Paper Be-
fore Franklin Society.
Detailed Account OF the Gr:at City Parks
OF the Country.

I Before the Franklin Society, Mr.. +. ii.
Burlingame, C. f., Of this city, read a
paper on Parks and Parkways,
He commenced by saying: There 10

kempt features OF nature.

light ana more room beneath the open
sky.
"Standard or accepted authorities say
that city parks should be essentially rural
retreats 10 enable the people OF city 10
visit the country without leaving the
town. in order TO give that relief and re-
pose which natural scenery brings 10 those
who are wearied with city sights and
sounds All other benefits follow.
Let us bear in minu in the develop
ment of parks this general truth that in
every work which makes appeal TO the
aesthetic sense that simplicity OF concep-
tion and treatment lie an essential condi-
tion of the highest success. We are not to
force upon landscape any type Of beauty
foreign TO 1t; on the contrary We should
only transfigure and idealize such bea uty
as Is Indigenous.
\ Mr.. Burlingame gave detailed account
of the great city PARKS OF the country. and
particularly showed the great develop.
ment OF those OF greater New York and OF
Boston and its vicinity. He particularly
called attention 10 the fact that there was
n great and growing tendency to natural
parks Of great extent. He regretted the
fact that our city was moving all too
slowly In securing desirable sites for park
extension, along shore and on outlying
hills.
Nearly an hour was occupied in the
reading OF this interesting paper. which
was given from the standpoint OF init
mate practical knowledge Of the subject,
while tinged with personal enthusiasm
and glow of beauty in the description of
park effects.

to unite the churches in a closer union
and In 1884 a convention was held in
Boston. of which John Graves OF this city
was moderator. Rsv. Edward Bass.
bishop of Massachusetts and New Hamp-
snire, worked hard for the union of
churches. Bishop Senbury OF Connec-
ticut acted as bishop OF Rhode Island
though separate convention was held and
this state had nothing 10 do with the
election OF Bishop Seaoury or his success
sor. One church, that at Nafragansett,
called on Bishop Provost OF New York, TO
ordain clergyman. After the death OF
Bishop Seabury it was decided TO select
some other American bishop than Con-
neoticut one and Bishop Bass was So
lected and tho churches in tho states OF
Massachusetts and Rhode Island were
reunited after long period of severance.
When Bishop Bass died in 1903 Bishop
NJ ore of New York was asked to officiate
as ishop OF thls state, but declined. Soon
after was formei the eastern diocese.
including all tho New England states ex-
cept Connecticut, and the first bishop
was Alexander GrisW Old, n noble priest
and scholar OF this state. The eastern
diocese was to last only until the states
could support bishop of their own.
Bishop Griswold had the sympRthy Of all
clnsses. hc knew all life's sorrows and
bardships and he was taken from the
plough TO go to Bristol.
The eastern diocese came To an end at
