D e c ' r Advice to Newburgh on Downing Park. Calvert 

 Vaux associated on report. 



Earl of Meath suggested that Mr. Olmsted go to 

 London to advise Meath's commission on the 

 beautifying of the old burial grounds of London. 



1890: "My office is much better equipped and has more 

 momentum than ever before. ' ' "I am at this time 

 (with my partners) the landscape architect of 

 twenty works of considerable importance, that is 

 to say, I do not include in that ordinary private 

 grounds. Nine of these twenty are large public 

 parks of cities; two, government works; three, 

 works of commercial corporations; one, of a be- 

 nevolent corporation, and six, private undertakings 

 of such character as to make them matters of 

 public interest, operations on them being sys- 

 tematically reported in the newspapers." (The 

 works of commercial corporations alluded to were 

 land subdivisions, and the cities to which advice 

 on park matters had been rendered particularly at 

 this time included Boston, — Marine and Wood 

 Island Park reports printed 1890, — Rochester, 

 New York City, Wilmington, and Hartford. The 

 most important private work was Biltmore, the 

 new Vanderbilt estate at Asheville, N. C, the 

 remainder mentioned being other Vanderbilt, 

 Rockefeller and Twombly estates.)
