Property Inspected

After the meeting the commissioners, together with President Exum, Commits sioner James Weatherly and City Engi- neer Maury Nicholson. made tour of inspection of the parks At the West End park the commissioners halted first. There it was found that the grass had been cut, the children were playing gee- fully upon the lawns and every evidence was observed that the condition was all that could be desired under the cir cumstances. The commissioners inves- tigated half the park system of the city and found much to their surprise, that rather than being chaotic the park condi- tions were very good indeed. Frequent comments were made upon the condition and the opinion was freely expressed that with some work the present summer could be vaulted very well with the pres ent park conditions.
 The city commissioners have by ordi- nance given the park commissioners every authority over the park property of the tcity They have absolute author ity to handle the property as they see fit and have no string tied to them in the work.
 John L. Raul, who accepted the pres idency after much hesitation, said yes- terday that unless a strict plan of action was formulated 1t was possible that great deal of unnecessary work would take up the time of the commission, and for that reason, if for no other, the park proposition should be approached cautiously.

Co-Operation Solicited

At the meeting yesterday a most earn est desire was expressed for co-opera- tion. A resolution was adopted having been introduced by Commissioner Frank w. Smith, that the Chamber of Com merce the civic improvement bodies, the ladies' associations and all those interest ed, cooperate with the park commits sioners in the work of Identification of the park properties.
 A resolution was Introduced by Com missioner Hugh Martin asking the aid of the newspapers in the explanation of the park proposals and their assistance in arousing interest among the citizens at large.
 Altogether the meeting was one in which the most perfect harmony pre- vailed and from the grim determination expressed by the commissioners the indi- cations favor strongly the formulation of a plan of park improvements here better than in any southern city. The park commission is composed of the fol- lowing:
 John l.. Kaul chairman.
 Frank w. Smith, commissioner.
 N. B. Stack, commissioner.
 Clyde ". Ennis secretary.
 The additional commissioners are to be appointed later by Commissioner James Weatherly

the ordinary orange tree should, but Ii
curved in all directions.

Westminster abbey, the venerable

place, along with England's poets,
authors and statesmen, was pre-
pared on a most elaborate scale for
the coronation ceremonies of today.
The scheme OF decoration of the
famous cathedral on the banks of the
river Thames was originated and car
ride out by the Office OF works. Huge
stands have been erected on the
square and on the turf all along the
abbey front for the seating of guests
These annexes have altered the famI-
liar appearance OF the church to
considerable degree, although efforts
have been made to lend an air of sge
to these stucco additions. The space
in the abbey is very limited and be

PEPYS, THE DIARIST.

Pronouncing the Name Of the Garru-
Ious Old Gossip.
Lovers Of Pepys often dispute over
the correct pronunciation Of his name.
The form Peeps is the one that has
chief authority on its side, and it is
according to analogy in other like
spellings, such as Wemyss, pronounced
Weems. Peeps still holds good at
Cambridge and dates from its bearers
own time. 1t is also retained by the
representatives Of Samueps sister, the
Pepys Cockerell family, who are heirs
to his fame and some Of his property.
The late Rev. J. W. Ellsworth, an in
defatigable collector and editor of bal
lads, adopts this pronunciation in his
pleasing stanzas on "A Gossip at Dept
ford"
For instances:
The state has no servant Of all whom she
keeps
Like my SQUAD little friend, who no la
Dor does shirk,
The pattern Of quill driving clerks. Sam
Pepys.
A disturbing element in the discus
sion is that the branch of the family
represented by the Earl Of Cottenham
pronounce the name Peppis.
No bearer of the name has ever been
known as Pops, though Ashby Sterry.
a respected member Of the Pepys club,
follows this common but erroneous
pronunciation in this excellent cpl
gram, published in the London Graphic
November. 1891: p.
There are people. I'm told-some say there
are heaps -
Who speak Of tho talkative Samuel az
Peeps,
And some so precise and pedantic their
step is,
Who call the delightful old diarist Pepys,
But those think right, and follow their
steps.
Ever mention the garrulous gossip Pops!
