In the firtet, place there is a stood sloping bank extending around three sides of it. forming a complete amphi- theatre. for eight sears of the different gumee that may be going on, then there is ample room in the flat for a horse nee track around the outside of the fiat and inside of that a bicycle track and ball grounds for every imaginable game. On the other side of the flat nature has;provided one of the best tera" ery in this port of the country. A little way from that there could be construct- ed, at little expense on account of the bend in the river, a beautiful bethmg place nearly surrounded by nebruhbery of green bushes., in fact there is every facility for making it a teal pleasure re' sort for both old and young. Now its u want that Durham haslong felt; how often have we heard the re- mark, when a. walk has been proposed. Where can we go? There in no where to go in this plaee. But how in this thing to be done? I propose that the citizens. the ceuncil and the Company (lo-operate and to gether bring this very lewdehle thing about. Bar that there ten citizens who would give tutr dollars a piece to be paid in five years, viz., ten dollars a you. Having some experience in tittintt up such grounds I took occasion to survey the whole park and mak. I rough esti- mate of the can u. nmkeit sow-thing like presentable. both for pleasure and profit to the people of Durham. Again my the Council grant one hun. dred dollars a year for five years. for this work could not all be done at once, for we. should have to wait for tho rott- ing of some of the otuinpl and accord- ing to do it the cheapest way (my rough estimate) the park could be made very presentable in tive years for the annual cost of 8200. The work that is propon- ed to he done. lat. clearing: burning of all timber and rubbish. 2nd, levelling of all grounds in proper'shape for the different. purposes for which it in want- ed including a. carriage rand. race track, bicycle track and hall grounds, one bridge over river and fixing of {emery and bathing pond at well to planting about a500ortunenta1 trees. Now Mr Editor-l enntend this thing could he done without, any one feeling it and at the same tune he n great plen- llll‘F to the citizws and perhaps in time a mun-e of revenue.
