A NOOK IN REDWOOD PARK, SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS, 
CALIFORNIA, 
the giant redwood trees attract annually many thou- 
sands of visitors. In the mountain labyrinths adjoin- 
ing this park are about 3,250 acres of public land 
which no one has found it worth while to file claim 
upon. For the most, it consists of bald mountain 
tops or precipitous slopes. It is useless for home- 
steads, and Congress has just been asked to donate 
the tract to the State of California. The views from 
the lofty summit are magnificent, and there is an 
endless variety of interesting and remarkable topo- 
graphical features. 
The addition will cost the state a large sum of 
money, even as a gift from Congress. The broad 
roads, paths, and driveways, grading, and the vast 
'amount of landscape work to be done have not been 
definitely planned. From many points distant glimpses 
of the ocean may be caught and a wide panoramic view 
of the surrounding countrv.

ized as additional ground for the park nursery which 
adjoins it. 
Improvements in the water works system are 
urgently needed and a new bridge across the lake to 
replace the one burned several years ago. 
The work accomplished has been done under a 
system of rigid economy, as the city makes no appro- 
priation for the park except that which comes from 
the Nashville Railway and Light Co. Increased ap- 
propriations are urged by the board and it is believed 
will soon be forthcoming.

MEMORIAL PARK BENCH, WILMINGTON, DEL. 
An interesting, appropriate and distinctly useful 
memorial is the handsome bench of white Barre 
granite recently.’placed in Brandywine Park, Wil- 
mington, Del., as 'a memorial to William M. Canby,. 
a former Park Commissioner of that city, who was 
particularly active in furthering the development of 
the park system. 
It stands in a picturesque spot in the park over- 
looking what is known as the “Canby Vista” a par- 
ticularly happy way of identifying it with the life 
and labors of the man it commemorates. It is well 
designed and gracefully proportioned, and a valu- 
able park adornment as well as a more fitting me- 
morial than a monument. 
The bench was designed by Guy Lowell, archi- 
tect, of Boston, and erected by the Park Board of 
Wilmington at a cost of $1,000.
