Here is a vast flowery bower, among which the people of Melbourne aud visitors from all the world may wander at will, a garden which will remind the globe-trotter of Versailles, of the Schonbrunn, of the Pincio Gar dens in Rome, of all the beautiful parks of the world. It is the muni eipal posecesion that makes Melbourne ono of the distinctive cities of the world, the boast of every Australian, .jone of the glories of the Southern Hemisphere. A Wondrous Park.

One of the marked features of the Melbourne park is its cleanliness, and that despite the fact that one is per- mitted to wander over the lewns at will, even to spread a tea-cloth under any tree or shrub. There are no "ver botens" of any sort. It is left to the natural pride of Melbourne's people ta see that one of the most beautiful parks of all the world is kept neat; and the fact that this trust ie In mo way abused is one of the surest signs of a cultivated populace, well desery- ing of such a fair playground Musi Down three centuries, Shakespeare A thousand beauties sweetly cling; .
