AT VERSAILLES 
continuous circuit the park areas of London, 
Paris, Boston and of Washington as it now is 
and as it is proposed to make it. Sugges¬ 
tions are shown for connecting the Mall 
with the outlying parks of the city and 
for boulevards along the Potomac west of

scenes illus¬ 
trate the 
results to 
be attained 
by the new 
arrangement. 
The Long 
Water at 
Hampton 
demonstrates 
the beautiful 
effect to be 
obtained b y 
the vista 
down the 
canal west of 
the Monu¬ 
ment, and the 
tapis vert of the Mall is represented by many 
views from Versailles and elsewhere. Numer¬ 
ous fountains are shown to prefigure those 
which may be expected in the various basins 
and squares of the new city. As the elm has 
been selected for general use in the formal 
planting, not the least interesting feature of 
this photographic exhibition is a collection 
of views showing the American tree as it 
appears in 
Washington 
and as far 
north as

The scheme 
presented for 
all these im¬ 
provements is 
in no sense a 
visionary one. 
The property 
the Commis¬ 
sion suggests 
to be acquired 
is real estate 
which at
