BEAUTIFYING THE CITY.
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE BY THE TREE PLANTING
ASSOCIATION - HEALTHFUL sENTI-
MENT AWAKENED

at the recent annual meeting of the Tree Plant
ing Association Of New-York City a report was
read. which part follows:
The reports from the nurserymen show that SIPS
trees have been planted during the fall season,
making a total of 402 set out in New-Tork City
in the year 1900, against 1923 in 1883.
The report OF the treasurer. showing a balance or
S173 IS in the bank and no Indebtedness, is very
satisfactory. The yearly income Will enable the
association carry out the work before II.
Through the eneTSetic efforts of DR.. Stephen
Smith and DR.. Nelson II. Henry our associa ton
secured the passage of bills in the Legislature in
1883 and 1900 which authorized the Park Commits
sioners take entire charge Of street tree plant
ing. Both bills. however, failed 10 become law,
owing TO the affections of the Mayor, although
they met with the approval OF the Governor. and
would have been signed by him. It is not deemed
advisable to introduce another bill in the Legisat-
ure this year.
There is no reason why New-York should not be
of the most beautiful cities in the world. Its
situation is ideal; it is surrounded by beautiful
rivers; the climate is delightful bracing and
healJhful and its fright sunshine is most cheering.
It's drives and its park system are unequaled any
where; its architecture is improving, and all that
great numbers, as in Washington, 10 make New
York OF the most beautiful and attractive OF all
cities. Even If ouf association has only succeeded
thus far in having planted few thousand trees. il
has been instrumental in drawing attention TO the
sngularly bare aspect of our city, and has initiated
a sentiment that this condition Of affairs must be
changed. The large annual increase in the number
OF planted shows that rhe project is growing
in popularity each year.

one of the objections to frank treatment Of
Shakespearian comedy as farce is the necessity
for sacrificing some of the finer elements in
the play There may not be beauty. poetry
or chivalry in THE Tanning OF the shrew" but
there is surely chance for much retirement of
method in the comic work. Mrs. Benson. for
example. is most vixensh and energetically

bic termagant. and shrieking wildly when she is

born and carefully educated. and negects to
discriminate, as Miss Ada Rehan has always
taken pains to do. between coarseness Of tenn
per and the lack OF seIf-control in a high bred

dated by Petruchio's violence in dealing with
his servants and when starved into submission
becomes a model OF wifely obedience upon her

husbands summons with almost a frightened
air AS Miss Rehan has played the part. love
has much TO do with the transformation. and
there is dignity and pride in her found lord
when she honors him for having taught her
self-cOntrol.
Mr. Benson's Petruchio is an effective and skill
ful bit of acting, brimming over with energy
and good spirits. but lacking deicacy of shad.
ing in many passages Mr.. Weir is very droll
as Grumio. making the character real. as
Shakespeare intended all his comic people to be,
His byplay is most ingenious. yet it always has
the effect of being spontaneous; his voice is rich
and melodous: his gestures are natural and un-
forced and his method is subtle. Mr.. Senate,
Mr. Brydone Mr.. Rodney and the other mem
bers of the company are all seen at their best
in this play. Mr. Benson has trained Il company
of Shakespearian actors who invariably enter
heartily into the spirit Of the performance. A
composite effect of the work as a whole is pro-
duced, and the audience is not merely enter
tanned for the evening, but learns much that it
has not known before about Elizabethan drama.
