PARK AND CEMETERY. 
VIEW IN KRUG PARK, ST. JOSEPH, MO. 
so enchanting is the spot. Especially can this be 
said of where the little waterfall is shown, and near 
which is a rustic bridge, not shown in the picture. 
And many a one has felt as Byron did when view- 
ing Lake Leman — 
“ ; once I loved 
Torn Ocean’s roar, but thy soft murmuring 
Sounds sweet as if a Sister's voice reproved, 
That I with stern delights should e'er have been so moved.” 
Joseph Meehan. 
KRUG PARK, ST. JOSEPH, MO. 
The popular improvement known as Krug 
Park was donated to the city of St. Joseph, Mo., 
some ten years ago, by Hon. Henry and William 
Krug, and at the time of the gift was already in 
good condition. Since that date small appropria- 
tions have been annually provided by the city for 
the improvement and maintenance of the park. 
The features of the tract calling for special at- 
tention are its rolling and picturesque formation, 
permitting of a regular mountain drive winding in 
and out and traversing its hills and valleys. Most 
of its paths are finished in cement, which, after the 
heaviest rains, are soon dry and clean, and never 
wash. 
Among its attractions are some old natural rock- 
eries, which have been improved by artificial addi- 
tions, and thus have been considerably enlarged. 
There is a lake in a valley, and on the bluffs bor- 
dering it a driveway climbs to the summit — a 
height of several hundred feet, from which views 
of the lake can be had, resting as it were almost 
immediately beneath one. 
Great efforts are annually made for a floral dis- 
play, which is quite extensive, new designs being 
laid out every year, in which bedding plants form 
the main features. 
To supply the planting material a block of 
greenhouses are operated and to add to the interest 
of the Park a conservatory is about completed. 
The accompanying illustrations will elaborate 
better than words on the characteristics of Krug 
Park, for which we are indebted to Mr. R. G. Rau, 
the superintendent. 
THE CHAPEL, RIVERSIDE CEMETERY, CLEVELAND, O- 
For a long time the trustees of Riverside Cem- 
etery, Cleveland, O., contemplated improvements 
in the Chapel and Receiving Tomb building, it not 
being altogether satisfactory to them, and last 
spring plans for improvement were prepared by 
Messrs. Steffens, Searles and Hirsh,, architects, 
which were approved and work was begun.
