PARK INCREASINGLY POPULAR
Through Its Natural Beauty and the Artificial Attractions Pro vided-Mohegan Park Board Makes Its Annual Report VIII Need $5,0O0 for Another Year-Some Road Building Proposed to Serve for Taftvile Entrance.

The annual report of the board of park commissioners, presented before the common council on Monday eve ming, showed that the $5,000 which was the appropriation made by the last city meeting had been all required for the needed expenditures in the park during the last year, in which sthe largest item was the salary account, which was between $3,100 and $S,20O, including the $1,200 for Superinten- dent John Duff. and that the contem- plated improvements for the coming year would require an appropriation of $5,000. They urged that this amount be placed in the, estimate of the city's expenses for the coming year.
 The report was signed by the full board. consisting of Joseph T. Tanning, Martin E. Jensen, William A. Norton, Henry F. Parker. Frank J. King and John M. Lee, and was as follows:
 Upon reviewing the results of the years work 1t is realized clearly that considerable expenditure is now re- qu;red simply to keep the roads and other improvements within Mohegan park in proper repair and free from any appearance of carelessness or neg Iect.
 Park Increasingly. Popular.
 Two considerations seem to make the park increasingly popular: First, the better knowledge and appreciation which our citizens in general now have of the wonderful beauty which marks those portions of it which re- main as they were fashioned by na- ture, and second, the fact that the city has provided what might be called artificial attractions, befitting the diff ferent seasons, which tend to maintain a substantial public interest through out the year. It required not a lit tie outlay to provide the different roads which lead to the lake or serve as connections between the main roads, the paths which wind through va rious sections of beautiful woodland, of animals, the skating pond, so con- structed that safety is insured for the young skaters, the ball field, buildings and deer enclosure, and the playground equipment of swings, etc, all resulting from the general plan, which has de- veloped gradually, of giving that va riety of attractions which is needed to meet the different tastes of the very large numbers of people who have be- come constant visitors at the park. None of these things could be dis pensed with now, and the public can understand readily that their proper maintenance causes distinct expense which did not exist at first.
 Improvements in Year.
 During the last year the buildings were painted, the street line was inn proved near the Rockwell street en- trance, the roads were scraped and cleared, the main road, No. i. leading from Rockwell street, was improved by being strengthened and regarded in places, the roadway passing between the toulouse and duck pond was put in order, the space behind the tool

house was increased and arranged as a waiting place for vehicles and an ex- cellent wall was built there at very moderate cost, the land between the largest crowds are accustomed to gather was leveled and cleared of stones, and the paths were kept in proper condition for constant use.
 Hope for Trolley Line.
 A special effort was made during the year to induce the company oper- ating the local street railway to extend the Boswell avenue line through Pratt street and over park land to some but although the boards request for this service was joined in by over 1900 of our townspeople, the company declined to give the city this accom- modation. AS it is reasonable to be- lieve that in connection with the Bos- we'll avenue line such line could be operated without loss to the railway company. it is likewise reasonable to promise that the request for the ex- tension will be repeated later with the expectation that before very long this improvement will be a reality.
 Warning Against Fires.
 The board desires to express its warming against the too common care lessness which results in forest fires at the park and the irreparabe dam age which ensues therefrom. It has been said before, and can always be repeated with truth, that the people should not have to be instructed spe- cially in regard to the folly of devot- ing their own property to destruction. Needed Improvements.
 To meet the expenses which will arise during the coming year from carrying on the work which has been planned, including a continuation of the road now running along the east ern side of the lake. as part of a main road to serve as the Taftville entrance, the further improvement of the road from Greeneville, installing enclosure, building path at the east erly side of this enclosure, necessary work on buildings, feed for the ami mals, fire insurance, general care and the superintendent wages. five thou sand dollars will be required and it is urged that this amount be placed in the estimates of the city's expenses for the coming year.
 Two Bsnesactors Gone,
 The board notes with regret that recently two. friends of the park have died, General Edward Harland. who made two donations of very desirable land for park purposes, and Hon. Charles F. Thayer who, while mayor cial and personal influence in favor of the establishment of the park and in support of such financial grants by the city as were needed for its devel- opment. The records of the city should bear enduring testimony to the personal worth and splendid service of these public benefactors.

EVERARD THOMPSON AT
 HEAD OF BIG PROJECT.
Former Norwich Man Directing Con- struetion of Biggest Sport Arena.

What is to be the most comprehen- sive, as we'll as by far the largest, public arena for outdoor sports in the world is being constructed on the Sheepshead Bay race track property, recently sold by the Coney Island Jockey club. The, Sheepshead Bay Speedway corporation, which has taken over the 400 odd acres of turf and meadow which compose this unique property within the greater city of New York, has begun construction on the most extensive sporting ground that has eyer been planned.
 In the long list of sporting activities which are to. take place where the bril- liant colors of the jockey caps flashed under the wire in other days are in cluded automobile track racing, foot ball, baseball, track meets, polo tour naments, tennis and aviation. The facilities for sports will be almost un- limited and crowds many times larger than at any other arena will be able to be accommodated. The ultimate seating capacity of the steel and con- crete grandstand will be 175,000. When it is remembered that the huge Yale bowl at New Haven has a seating ca pacity of 1000, some idea of the mag nitude of the new undertaking can be gained.
 Everard Thompson, formerly of Norwich, who is manager of the en- IoTPT1Se anu III Iull charge or all the arrangements, has been the active factor in the management of Yale ath- 1etics for number of years and had much to do with the construction of the new Yale bowl, but has resigned his active connection with Yale in or der to take charge of the Sheepshead Bay speedway
 You see the space within the oval of the track measures 1000 by 1,6o0 feet, MT. Thompson says and this gives us all the room in the world to hold all sorts of sporting contests.
 One of the features to be developed is track athletics. I do not know that we can arrange to have the next Olym- pic games at the speedway, but if Flu rope recovers from the war with any material and any spirit for the Olym- pic meet and the meet comes to this country, We shall be prepared to hold It. We are going to have the finest track in the oval that money can build, and I hope that it will become center of an almost municipal charac- focal point for all the hundreds of schoolboy meets, for instance, which are held at odd spots around New York during the season, in which there is so much interest.
 Although it is not our purpose by any means to compete with organized baseball, we will also have ball fields of the best type, and hope to include baseball games outside of the regular league schedules in our programme.
 One of the important activities at the speedway will be aviation. I do not mean trick flying or stunts in the air Of hippodrome character, but straight flying and flying contests of different kinds"

NEW STATE BODY.
Secretaries of Commercial Bodies Or.
 ganize-John Humphrey President.

Secretary John Humphrey of the New London Chamber of Commerce, was elected president of temporary organization composed of secretaries of the commercial organizations of the state formed at a meeting in New Britain. Saturday. A permanent or ganizat1on will be formed in Hartford May 27 and will probably be known as the Connecticut Association of Commercial and Civic Executives.
 The secretaries of the various state organizations were called to New Bri- tain through the instrumentality of President F. H. Johnson of the Con- nectlcut Chamber of Commerce for the purpose Of forming a state association. The results were highly satisfactory and the temporary organization was formed. It was then unanimously de- cided to affect permanent organiza- tion May 27. The benefits of the or ganizing were discussed and it was decided to limit the active member ship to secretaries of commercial and civic bodies with other officials as hon. orary members. The objects of the proposed organization are to secure good feliowship and mutual helpfulness among secretaries of the state to inn prove local industrial, commercial and public interests, to advance Connecti- cuts interests as a whole. and to CO., operate with other organizations in similar work in sympathy with and af- fliated with the state and national as- socfatfons of civic and commercial character.
 A committee consisting of A. H. An drews of New Britain, John Hum phrey, F. J. Linsley of New Haven, A. A. May of Meriden and W. L. Mead of Hartford to draw up bylaws and also present list of nominations for officers was chosen.
