t the thirteen thousand people who fifty years ago drank from a thousand wells have now grown to eighty thousand people, drinking from one common well. When, in 1893, the board of Park Commissioners was created, the conventional number of five was ignored altogether. Instead, the board was made to consist of three commissionerk system is based. This is notable from the fact that all previous agitation for parks (and it had been long drawn out) was based upon the ward idea. Previous to 1893, the question of parks was seldom discussed in a broader way than with reference to the needs of a single ward. Other lines of municipal work might also be mentCambridge, Mass.

ze the water thus given them. The act was accepted by the city council, the waters were formally taken, and have since been paid for and brought into Fresh Pond. Stony Brook and its tributaries have twenty-two square miles of watershed, and in 1893, the driest of the last eight years, they furnished by measurement more than eighteen million gallons, daily average, for the whole year. This was three times as much as we used. It will be seen by this that all that we need to do, to secure wats authority the Street Department put Concord Turnpike in good repair in 1891, at an expense of $12,400. In 1892, the Street Department widened Adams, Washington, Grove, and Cushing streets, and put them in good order, at an expense of $10,000. In 1893, two iron bridges were built on Huron Street extension, and the work of grading and making the street from the railroad to Cushing Street has been done, or is nearly completed, by the Street Department, at an expense of $27,022.

Consequently, so strongly was the need of persistent and lasting effort for the development of the park system felt by the city government, urged by Mayor Bancroft in his inaugural address, that in August of the following year, 1893, Rev. John O'Brien, George Howland Cox, and Henry D. Yerxa were appointed park commissioners, and since that time they have labored diligently to make Cambridge what all wish the city to be. Of course, the commission has been obliged to struggle wCaptain's Island, between Brookline and River streets, our open lands will broaden out into about thirty-eight acres, the largest park of the system. This reservation, nearly three times as large as all the public grounds in Cambridge previous to 1893, will be developed in much the same fashion as Cambridge Field. The island, though an island in name only, has the advantage of being close to the water, and it thus furnishes opportunity for boating, provisions for which will be furnished by the

This wall was removed some forty years since, and a wooden fence built, which in turn was taken away, and in 1893 the present substantial iron fence erected on Massachusetts Avenue, Garden Street, and the northerly boundary. This God's Acre, as it is often called, contains the dust of many of the most eminent persons in Massachusetts: the early ministers of the town, Shepard, Mitchel, Oakes, Appleton, Hilliard, and others; early presidents of Harvard College, Dunster, Chauncy, Willard; the first settlers and proprietors, Simon Stone, Deacon Gregory Stone, Roger Harlakenden, John Bridge, Stephen Daye, El

ss than a million dollars. The memberships of the gymnasiums range from fifty to three thousand each, and the number of individuals reached in the clubs and schools combined must aggregate several hundred thousand. Some idea of the growth of interest in physical development in the United States, and the special directions it is taking may be inferred from the following lists of gymnasiums that have been built, reconstructed, or equipped, to the writer's knowledge, since the World's Fair in 1893.

I may safely assert, she continues, that among these college students were the healthiest women, both physically and mentally, that I have ever met. This emphatic testimony is supported by the experience of Radcliffe College. Our record closes as the third stage in the history of Radcliffe opens. It is an interesting point. It finds the college strong in the affections of a body of graduates that any college might well be proud of, many

St. John's Memorial Chapel was built in 1869, by Mr. Robert Means Mason. Lawrence Hall, completed in 1880, is the gift of Mr. Amos Adams Lawrence. Reed Hall, containing the library, was built in 1875, by the founder, Mr. Reed. Four years after, Mr. John Appleton Burnham built Burnham Hall, the refectory. In 1893 Winthrop Hall was built by friends of the school, and was named after the Hon. Robert C. Winthrop, who until his death was president of the board of trustees of the school. The Deanery was given to the school by Mrs. Gray, after the death of Dean Gray. The first dean was the Rev. Dr. John S. Stone, who served the school from 1867 to 1876. Dean Gray followed him, from 1876 to 1889. The next dean was Dr. William Lawrence, now Bishop of Massachusetts. He was succeeded, upon his election a

Last July the central office was removed to 671 Massachusetts Avenue. In order to furnish employment to many men who were out of work through no fault of their own, a wood-yard was established on Broadway, corner of Brewery Street, and was carried on under the supervision of a committee of three directors during the winter of 1893-94. Since those who were citizens could be employed by the city, men who had not been naturalized were almost the only ones who worked here. The employment provided enabled them to earn something for themselves and their families, and prevented their receiving alms. This enterprise was conducted in cooperation with the Citizens' Relief Committee and the Overseers of the Poor, and though, as was expected, it did not succeed financially, it accomplished its purpose industrially.

The original board of trustees consisted of Mrs. Henry W. Paine, president; Rev. D. O. Mears, treasurer; Miss Irene F. Sanger, clerk; and Dr. Andrew P. Peabody, Mrs. Joseph Lovering, Mrs. W. T. Richardson, Mrs. Henry Thayer, Mrs. J. M. Tyler, and Mrs. B. F. Wyeth. Dr. Peabody succeeded Mrs. Paine as president, and at the time of his death in 1893 was the last one of the original trustees; Mr. William Taggard Piper was chosen to succeed Dr. Peabody. Mrs. John Bartlett and Miss Maria Murdock respectively followed Miss Sanger as clerk, and Mrs. J. M. Tyler and Miss Mary A. Ellis succeeded Mr. Mears as treasurer. Four trustees were added in November, 1875, and in January, 1886, the number was increased to seventeen. In 1891 the name of the corporation was changed to The Avon Home.
