gathering. The speakers as severally 

 called upon were Wm. J. Stewart, of 

 Boston, who gave Mr. Wirth credit for 

 having advanced the cause of the rose, 

 popularly, more than any other man 

 in this country within the last quarter 

 of a century; Jackson Dawson of Bos- 

 ton who predicted that Mr. Wirth 

 would carry to Minneapolis a full 

 measure of the best eastern thought 

 and achievement in park work; G. X. 

 Amrhyn of New Haven who spoke of 

 his long personal association with Mr. 

 Wirth; G. A. Parker who gave to 

 Hartford the credit of having, in the 

 year 1851, initiated the first park con- 

 structive work in the United States; 

 Robert Schrivener and C. N. Ruedlin- 

 ger who spoke feelingly of their warm 

 friendship for the guest of the even- 



ing; Messrs. Peard and Pease who ex- 

 pressed the regrets of the bowling con- 

 tingent; and Engineer Orrin Clark who 

 spoke for the employees of the park 

 department and declared that Mr. 

 Wirth was actuated by the same ag- 

 gressive sincerity in building a park 

 or bowling a game. President Huss 

 then took the floor and referred feel- 

 ingly to his many years of close friend- 

 ship with Mr. Wirth, told how the 

 Florists' Club founded by Mr. Wirth 

 had been made a success by his mag- 

 netic influence and then, lest he might 

 lose his way in the wild west, pre- 

 sented him on behalf of the Hartford 

 Florists' Club, the Bowling Club and 

 the Park Employees, with a handsome 

 magnetic compass mounted in a gold 

 case. 



Mr. Wirth responded in words of 

 grateful appreciation. He disclaimed 



especial credit for his work in the 

 Hartford parks and said that the 

 honor was due as much to the effici- 

 ency and earnestness of his assistants, 

 from foreman down and further that 

 no park board in the United States is 

 so well-organized as that of Hartford, 

 the members of which are influenced 

 by no considerations other than to 

 serve the best interests of their 

 beautiful city. He said that the main 

 inducement at Minneapolis was the op- 

 portunity for creative work for which 

 he longed, and that he knew his suc- 

 cessor in Hartford, Mr. G. A. Parker 

 would be found to be the right man 

 in the right place.
