entrenched near the shore. The Napi-

strongly entrenched for the small force
to attack them. q &

RIVER PARKS.
London and Boston Plans and Ideas
Should Inspire This City.
From the Boston Herald.

rom the BOSTON fefdld
1t is interesting to know that those who
have recently been endeavoring to improve
the valley of the Thames river in England
have been turning their attention to the
work of the Metropolitan Park Commission
in Boston on the line of the Charles river
for both inspiration and suggestion.
1t is pointed out in England that the
Metropolitan Park Commission for the dis
trict in and around Boston is the only or
ganization which has undertaken for the
public benefit a systematic Improvement of
water courses as features in park system
OF course, other rivers have been deepened
and widened to meet the demands of navi-
cation, but to treat river comprehensively
as a part OF system of providing places
for public enjoyment is an advance upon
OLD methods recognized in England as both
striking and praiseworthy. An association
has been formed in and around London
having for its purpose the improvement of
the Thames river. 1t is frankly admitted
that it is impossible for this association or
any that can now be formed in England,
to purchase land on either side of the river
to prevent its use for Objectionable pur-
poses.
The land bordering the Thames to a
much greater extent than on the Charles,
is used for business and residential pur-
poses. 1t is believed that the right to land
as well as to fish at various points can be
secured. and it is also thought that by
uniting public sentiment it may be possible
to prevent the erection over the river, or
on its side. of what may be considered I'M
slightly and disfiguring structures. The up
per Thames has reputation. which has
come to us in both poetry and prose, for
quiet beauty and oIher attractions which
might readily be sacrificed if individuals or
companies were in all cases permitted to
have their own way. Ii is easy to control
where one purchases possession, but,
though less easy, ii is also possible to eX-
ercise a measurable degree of control if
public opinion frowns in an unmistakable
manner upon the actions of any Individual
