proper place to adjust the negro ques-

is no apparent need of bothering about it.
The present beauty
The PARKS of of the parks and boule-
p;chmond wards of Richmond is
due to the foresight and
persistent efforts of the late Col. Cut
shaw, for many years head engineer OF
the city. He set out large nurseries,
where he grew from seedlings, and thus
decorated nearly all the city in a few
years with beautiful shade trees. He was
favorable to the German linden, and the
result of his sagacity is shown to-day in
one of the best-shaded cities of the
country. Col. Cutshaw was very proud
of his work, and ambitious in the extreme
to produce results that would count. He
was a war veteran and much beloved

representative had the
pleasure recently of a visit to Garden
City estates, Long Island, of which he
is the manager of sales. This property
is a part of the famous Garden City, at
which point is located the great $4,000,
600 Episcopal Cathedral erected by Mrs.
A. T. Stewart in memory of her million
aire husband. whose body is supposed to
be in vault there. Garden City is
known as one of the most beautiful of
all suburban places around New York.
There are some magnificent houses there,
and splendid hotel which is constantly
filled the year round, but crowded in
summer. 1t is the great rendezvous for
New York autoists. OF Garden City it
self, much could be said. Several mil
lOnaireS have homes there, and it is laid
out beautifully. No one can buy less
than half a block in Garden City proper
for home and it completely fulfls the
meaning of it's name. 1t is a veritable
garden spot Most of the houses have
beautiful grounds with charming land
scape effects, and this spring in particu-
lar it looks the essence of beauty, with
idealism dominating houses and garden.
The roadways in and
The poadwavs around Garden City are
Garden c;tv. perfect examples of
macadam, and are in
consequence a source of never ending JOY
to the autoist, wheelman or horseman.
They are more nearly like the perfect
type of the English road than anything
we have around New York The late
Alexander T. Stewart built a magnificent
roadway from Long Island City to Gar
den City, lining it on both sides with
beautiful shade trees. The road is still
in popular favor, and is a bower of shade
in summer. The only thing the Garden
City section has heretofore lacked is
proper transit facilities, but these are
rapidly improving, and by the time this
article goes to press there will be third
rail system in use from Garden City to
the Atlantic avenue terminus in Brook
lyn, of the New York subways. 1t will
then be possible to go from City Hail.
New York, to Garden City in about
thirty-eight minutes, with the one change
at Atlantic avenue to and from the sub
way. Garden City, be it remembered,
