MOHEGAN PARK HAS SCENIC BEAUTIES

The board regretted the necessity Of cutting down the chestnut trees in the park this year. all Of which were doomed because of the blight, for the last few years settling upon trees Of that species. There was much Besita- ton, due, it can be confessed, in great degree to sentiment and also much careful study and investigation, as well as. consultation of experts before the order was given to remove the trees. In carrying out the project it was ar- ranged that other trees should grow in the places to be made vacant and con- seduently the seentfactof who cut the trees and removed the wood planted thousands of seedlings and many ev- ergreens of different species ever- greens never having been abufidant il the park before. Such reforesting was, of course 9 positive necessity and could be dene best by the same agency which removed the 9teek infected by the blight. The work was so super vised that as little harm as possible was done in it's progress. and roads and paths damaged by the necessity of hauling have been or will be restored Co first class condition under the terms Of the contract governing this matter.
 The stock Of animals at the park is small and probably will not be en- larsed for considerable time to come. An effort will be made to have the quality of this. collection first class, so that it might be depended upon as an attractive exhibit. especially for the children.
 The board has recently employed as superintendent Edward A. Smith. q person experienced in much of that particular kind of work which comes under the careful and constant atteil- ton of tn eperson to whom the prac- aical management of park affairs Is entrusted.
