Bidway, Eaq.,. one of the Soutt Park Commis- sioners, and au article from the Pharmavist riving somewhat in detail the plans of the Com- missionera in relation to the estzblishmont of a botanical gerden.. Tt was a fine stroke of policy to enlist the services of some of [OUR LEADING CITIZEN to take charge of the whole matter free of. expense. Some of thsm have’ given their lifelong energies to botanical Bcience, snd sour people generally should therefors appreciste the value of their uarowarded efforts. 2uck will doubtless be ex- pected from this improvement, Dut we have no @oubt’ that ‘the results will’ mors than realize expectations. Drexel boulevard has really ATIRACTED MORE ATTENTION | from strangers, as well as from our own people, and 2s an invevtmont bas been worth far more to tho city, than the Soath Park jtself. ‘The tendency of men of tasta and wealth to como to Chicege. that they mey onjoy with their familios the advantages which these splendid im- provements affcrd, s widespread and increas- ‘Lhe proposcd botanical garden will enable the Commiscicuers ~ - ‘TO ORNAMENT these boulevards and parks in the most superb msnner.

They are indeed priceless, and therefore the Cammissioners should receive tho cordial support of all our citizens.
