PARK AND CEMETERY 
3U4 
Mr. Dunbar led the way down the hillside into the 
shrub garden, and the visitors had a delightful stroll 
around on the grass walks, as Mr. Dunbar pointed out 
the beauties of some of his especial pets in the collec- 
tion. The grass walks were subjects of much favor- 
able comment, and several expressed a desire to see 
them in other parks. Their superiority to gravel in 
this particular situation was especially noticeable. 
Many would have liked to remain longer here, but 
were obliged to leave in order to finish the day’s in- 
spection with a visit to Genesee Valley Park. Rain 
overtook them, however, at the entrance to Genesee 
Valley, and the tallyho was abandoned for the refec- 
tory. 
An interesting outdoor celebration of Bird Day, 
accompanied by a band concert, was in progress. Bird 
Day is a recently established national festival inaugur- 
ated by Secretary Wilson of the Department of Agri- 
culture. Rochester is the first city to observe the day. 
The exercises were presided over by Park Commis- 
sioner John Hall, and participated in by the mayor 
and other prominent citizens. One of the speakers 
said : “This day is inaugurated to give inspiration 
to the movement to protect bird life. The greatest 
enemies of birds are women, who ought to be their 
best friends. I often see in the street cars, and I see 
before me in this grove, women with birds in their 
hats, birds protected under the laws of this state, 
whose mere possession is a crime and whose killing is 
positively prohibited under severe penalties.” 
The visitors listened to the conclusion of the exer- 
cises and were provided with closed carriages for the 
return to the city, where a dinner was tendered those 
who could remain. 
The day was a grand finish to a grand convention, 
and high praise was given the public-spirited citizens 
of Rochester, who have developed such a fine, distinct- 
ive system of parks in such a short time, and often 
with limited resources.
