of the mighty energy of the Falls. Mr. Wilson was a 
painstaking guide and explained the work under 
way in an interesting manner. The ride down the 
gorge was a wonder even to those who had seen It 
often. The trolley line runs along the. bluff 200 feet 
above the rapids on the Canadian side, and coming' 
back on the American side descends into the gorge 
and passes on the brink of the whirlpool rapids. The 
majestic banks and the view from Queenstown 
Heights over the garden spot of Canada are hard to 
forget. The natural growth of trees at frock’s monu- 
ment on the Heights lends particular charm to that 
historic spot. Mr. Wilson pointed out the places of 
interest and told a graphic story of the battle on the 
ground where it was fought. He took leave of the 
party here as the car left for the American side, and 
received a volley of cheers in addition to the official 
vote of thanks. 
The return ride up the gorge finished a remark- 
f able day. The party stopped at the office of the Reser- 
vation long enough to return a hearty vote of thanks 
to the superintendents on both sides of the Falls, each 
of whom outdid the other in showing attentions to 
their guests and to the concessions about the Falls 
who had favored them. The roaring committee again 
took charge of the car, and exhausted themselves by 
the time it reached Buffalo at 9 p. m. 
Third Day, Friday, June 30. 
Friday morning the superintendents took a trolley 
to South Park to view the. Botanical Garden under the 
guidance of Director John F. Cowell. They were con- 
ducted first through the immense range of green- 
houses, where the Professor’s valuable collections were 
much admired. The ferns and tropical groups, some 
of which constitute the finest collections of their kind 
in the countrr^ testified to the value of the Director’s 
additions brought in recent years from the W est Indies 
and the Isthmus. 
Many interesting specimens were seen in the shrub 
collection near the greenhouse. Here, too, was another 
handsome herbaceous , border, used to screen the nur- 
serv, where a stock of five or six thousand trees and 
shrubs furnish the material for the permanent plant- 
ings in the parks. The party broke up into groups to
