WOODSIDE PARK 

 IS GIVEN TO PUBLIC 

 FOR PICNIC GROUND 



Curtis G. Lloyd, a scientist of Cin- 

 cinnati, has purchased the pretty 

 woodland tract on the Southern Rail- 

 way beyond Erlanger, Ky., and here- 

 after it will be a free gathering place 

 for all worthy organizations and nature 

 lovers. 



For twenty-five years the Erlanger 

 and Woodside Land Companies used 

 the park as a shady spot for their ex- 

 cursionists to picnic while viewing the 

 thousands of lots. These projects hav- 

 ing been consummated," the ground has 

 been vacant for some years and now 

 Mr. Lloyd comes along and proposes 

 to endow this gem .of shadeland, so 

 that it will forever remain a resort for 

 the people without fees or rentals. 



If proper appreciation is shown he 

 contemplates adding shelter pavilions 

 and other accommodations for churches 

 and schools that come to the place to 

 picnic. 



Like the Lloyd Botanical Library on 

 Court street, all expenses are paid by 

 this philanthropist and arrangements 

 for its perpetuation after his death will 

 be made. 



Erlanger, Elsmere and Florence can 

 name this attraction as another reason 

 why the C., N. & C. Railway should ex- 

 tend its line to that thriving section. 



Temporarily George C. Bloss, with 

 whom Mr. Lloyd made the deal for the 

 land, will manage the property for the 

 benefit of all who wish to quietly en- 

 joy its charms. The Commercial Trib- 

 une, Cincinnati, October 9, 1915. 



The above article, while not strictly myco- 

 lotrical, will throw a sidelight on the character 

 of the author of these Letters, perhaps, not 

 generally known to our readers.
