It was the attractions of the semi-rustic, wholly cultured Wor- cester, with its dawning horticultural tendencies, that first arrest- ed the attention of the observant lad from Hubbardston to Worcester as a whole; as he saw it,-for there was then but one way given unto men whereby the shire-town could be ap- proached. And those of us who remember that rare picture of half-urban, half-rural loveliness can respond from the heart to that juvenile, abiding fascination. From the North descends ever attritus,-fertility,-the "unearned increment" of the theorist in city attics. Southward and downward washes ever away and wastes detritus,-sewage,-the interest upon human exhaustion by gregariousness and combined toil. Whensoever, in the unending succession of years, our children have to wel- come the flower of Northern Worcester,-its young men (and maidens ?) will they not charm those juvenile fancies, when they have left " Happy Valley " behind, by the sight of Melrose Park,

after its felicitous assumption ? Next bring them around the Dodge Ranche to Park Avenue,-to let their eyes repose for a time on ELM PARK, with its wealth of floriage or facilities for skating ; Newton Hill, the while offering its natural chute for the fleet toboggan ; and to allow them a momentary glimpse, if nothing more for the time, of Lake Coes, with its dream of blue waters and its blended promise and prospect of oars and skating. If Clark University is to be the matured fruit from a first, youthful enthusiasm and a resultant, fixed purpose ; why should we not profit by the lesson, even before the corner-stone of that University is so much as riven from its bed ? Why not make this our fair City a fascination to the young men of our own day -fixing the impression more or less indelibly, and leaving it to work out its own results ? " All this and more shalt be thine ! " insinuated the Tempter, "if Thou wilt but fall down and wor- ship me. " What is around and within thee, Oh City of Worces- ter, is thine ! already,-believe and write the PARKS-COMMISSION : thine to be put out at interest and to be multiplied, manifold against the coming and glory of the Lord !
All which is respectfully submitted, by
EDWARD WINSLOW LINCOLN,
Chairman.

SECT. 2. Said city shall within thirty days after its city council shall vote to take said title and interest, cause a certified copy of the vote to be served upon said parish in the manner provided in chapter one hundred and sixty- one, section thirty-five of the Public Statutes; and the return of the officer making the service, being recorded with a certified copy of said vote in the registry of deeds for the county of Worcester, shall be evidence of such service.
SECT. 3.

SECT. 5. The said city may at any time after the entry of said application offer in court, and consent in writing, that a sum therein specified may be awarded as damages to said parish; and if said parish shall not accept the same within thirty days after it has received notice of said offer, or within such further time as the court shall for good cause grant, and shall not finally recover a greater sum than the sum offered, not including interest on the

sum recovered in damages from the date of the offer, the said city shall be entitled to recover its costs after said date; and said parish if it recovers damages shall be allowed its costs only to the date of the offer.
SECT. 6.
