fort on July 4th, this year, was pro-
cured by the city in a novel but ef-
fective way. The local branch of the
Travellers Protective Association pro-
cured the signatures of 1875 citizens
of Frankfort asking that eighty-three
acres of fine park land. on which they
had secured an option, be purchased
by the city. This was done and the
T. P. A. then erected therein a shelter
house, and by their influence procured
from the lighting plant free lights,
had installed there, in three-acre
park, four deer; some driven wells have
been put down and the wooded part
cleaned up and put in grass. In this
park Frankfort has something that
could not be procured in few years
from now at many times the money
now spent, and of course the people
would not enjoy 1t now. The T. P. A.
is receiving great praise for it's work
in this behalf:
Boonville has two acres which could
be made into a beautiful park and
which was donated to the city for that
purpose by Mr.. Breckenridge.
Marion has received as a gift one
park, Matters park" which was
given the city by Philip Matter and
wife.
Wabash was given a park by the
heirs of Mr.. Hanna, formerly a prom
of two acres and has been improved
by the city.
AT Winamac a peninsula formed by
the Tippecanoe river, very beautifully
wooded, has been purchased by a num-
Der of prominent business men and
public-spirited citizens. 1t is free to
everybody, these owners, known as
the Winamac Park Association, retain
ing concession privileges for picnios
and the like, the most of which money
is spent to improve the park
In each OF the above cases, the
cities are to be congratulated upon
securing the parks, as any Of the
plans are good. It would seem that
any municipality in Indiana could
adopt one OF the methods and secure
park or woodlot acreage.

city and tract OF land, fifteen acres,
was purchased to be used as a park,
and 200 trees have been planted there
In. The city later purchased thirty
acres adjoining and the park will con-

Connersyille has received a very
nice park, known as Roberts park,
E. Roberts of Indianapolis, former
citizen of Connersville. 1t has been
used for park purposes and somewhat
improved. Pavillions and grand
stand have been erected there and
ConnersyiIle's fle fairs are held there
each year.
Muncie enjoys large and beautiful
park as the result of the benefaction
of George F. McCulloch, who gave to
the city for park purposes eighty five
acres. The city purchased some addi-
tional and has erected there shelter
houses, made tennis courts, ball
grounds. see-saws, gymnasium out
fits, and also quite an elaborate me-
nagerie is being put in it.
At Brook, Ind, George AIDE has do
mated to the town eight acres, a hick-
DRY grove, nicely put down in lawn,
and otherwise improved.
Attica has probably more parks than
any place Of it's size in the state, and
recently received as a gift from a
number of pubhc-spirited business
men and citizens a thirty-acre tract
which the city has improved with
drives and in which the school chill
dren have planted a large number
OF trees. 1t is known as Ravine park.
At Fort Wayne we have an example
of the lasting appreciation a gift of
park lands receives. Swinney park,
fifty acres, was donated to the city
nearly forty years ago and was named
after Thomas Swinney, the donor. 1t
is improved by trees and lake and is
one OF the delights of the city. Fort
Wayne, however, has been exceedingly
fortunate along these lines. Williams
park, Hayden park, McCulloch park,
Rockhill and Lakeside parks were
either donated to the city in whole or
in part. It is safe to conclude that
the early gift OF Swinney park to the
municipality had the effect of influenc-
ing others to do likewise.
Madison has park as the result of
civic pride among the ladies there 1t
consists of six acres and was formerly

ly graded, with magnificent drives and
lawns, and has fine shade trees, foun-
tain and playground for children. The
fountain was donated by the I. o. o. F.

are doing, but in some cases they can

has not been created to the extent
that this would be advisable
Some of the larger cities in Indiana
have fine park systems, especially
this is true in Indianapolis, Fl. Wayne
and Terre Haute. In each Of these
cities some land for the parks has
been purchased but each Of them have
received some as gifts from patriotic
and public spirited citizens.
Quite a number of Indiana's present
parks were gifts, some partially, and
some in full. Some cities have con.
verted abandoned cemeteries into
parks. In some cities, societies or or.
ders have taken UP the park question
in a special way resulting in the &C
quirement OF parks by gifts or pur.

chase. It Is worth while to encourags
any Of these methods.
The bequeathing of lands to munich
palities by public spirited men o.
women is satisfactory way OF getting
park lands. 1t not only assures to the
generations to come a source of plea
sure, beauty and health, but it insure:
to the one who gives it monument
everlasting. Hardly any other philan
thropic act can compare with thi.
as gift to the whole people, and as
the park is always named after the
doner, nothing can compare with this
plan of patriotic citizen keeping
alive his memory
AS sentiment grows, acts of this
kind become more common. Amons
the most recent acts of this kind was
that of the late Judge Dykeman, who
about a year ago left to the city oil
Logansport a most beautiful tract OF
land. nearly one hundred acres. Al
the same time he gave to the county
of Cass. a large tract of land.
The late Alfred Burdsall. promi
nent business man of Indianapolis
left that city nearly quarter of 8
million dollars for the purpose of ex
tending the park system. A few years
ago William Watson Wollen with
great liberality gave to this same city
forty acres, lying near. and heavily
imbered, known as Buzzard's Roost.
Charlottesville is to have a magnis
cent park. Harry ]. Milligan, of India
napolis. gave to the city of Crawfords
vile, twenty-five acres in memory OF
his father. The commercial organiza
ton there, headed by A. NJ. Smith
purchased an adjoining tract and will
sell enough lots therefrom to pay for
the whole of it, add ten acres to the
park and make 1t one of thirty-five
acres, all in blue grass and nicely
covered with natural grove Mr.
Smith says it is expected that the
commercial club will have enough
money from the proceeds of what ii
sells to put the park In very fine con.
dition.
