1t is with a great deal of pleasure that
we notice the beginning ofthe improve
ment of Wylie park. A considerable
part of the plans have been laid out
and some of the walks finished with q
gravel surface. If the work is contin-
ued in the same mastery manner as it
has been begun, it is assuring to US
that we have the proper management
at the head of the association and we
have no hesitation in asserting that
Chester will soon have beautiful park
for pleasure and recreation. Nothing
will make a more delightful and last

in Chester than beautiful park. Let
every one take an interest in the work
that we may further the cause. ''''':''' -.
