REPORT OF THE 



SMALL COUNTY LARKS. 



The development of Lincoln Terrace, the fine park located at 

 the old city line on the Eastern Parkway, and forming the centre 

 of a parkway system branching in four different directions, was 

 started early in the year. Advantage was taken of the natural 

 surface, and a very attractive pleasure ground was developed. 

 Considerable delay was occasioned by the presence of a number 

 of buildings on the land, which the owners were slow in remov- 

 ing. They were finally gotten out of the way, and the general 

 scheme of improvement rapidly advanced. 



The Park has been enclosed with an iron fence, shrubs and 

 trees have been set out, and next spring it will be a beauty spot 

 on the line of the Parkway. Its development as a park will also 

 preserve to the city a very fine view of the surrounding country. 



A CORNER OF SARATOGA SQUARE. 



Saratoga Square, the new park on Halsey street, was origin- 

 ally the piece of land used for circus purposes, and its conversion 

 into a park has been greatly appreciated by the owners of prop- 

 erty in the neighborhood. 



During the summer this park was graded and planted, the 

 paths laid out, the sewerage supplied, and the work so far pro- 

 gressed that by early summer the Park will be in condition for 

 public use.
