 Messrs. Rhodes and Kidder of the City club of New York inspected the granite boulder of Westerly granite now being prepared at the plant of the smith Granite company to mark the grave of Thomas Willett first mayor of New York city, in Little Neck cemetery, Riverside. The boul- der weighs eight tons. The New York men, accompanied by representative of the Smith Granite company, visited the burial place of the first mayor and practically decided upon the exact site of the boulder.
 The City club. not wanting to take the precedence of the city iself in the dedication of the public memorial, probably will delay the placing of the boulder. and the dedication of it un- til spring, although this has not been definitely settled. It is the intention of the City club to establish fund for the care of the Willett grave after the memorial has been placed.
