Frank McCoppin Urges Increased Public Grounds. The Park and Garden Acreage of Other Muni- cipalities—The Wonderful Prog- ress of Melbourne. Fiank McCoDpln lectured last evening at the Real Estate Kxchange ou -Gardens and Parks." A fail-sized audience, which included several of tbe prominent leal estate men of the city, listened to the lecture. "i-rom ihe beginuine." said Mr. MeCoppln in subuauee, '-a iove of tbe beautiful seems to h;ive beeu lmpiauted hi m,in, and, as a result of this feeling. Rial has piauted gardens. The Gieeks and liomans developed this taste to a certain ex- tent, but the former devoted themselves as a race to national gymnastic games aud the latter to the bloody spoils of the amphitheater. Ihe garden, extended luto the park lvi the i-cople, is of modern growth. "In early England tbe parks were the kings' came preserve*, closed to the masses of the people. Modern London, however, is well pro- vided with public recieatlon grounds. There are more ilia:) 5000 acres of public parks for the use of the people in the heart of London, and 15.000 more acres of common in the environ- ments are free to all. "Paris has the reputation of being the best supplied city In this respect, aud contains numer- ous public paiks. The Paris municipality have extended large sums on streets and public grounds. I.OVE OF THE BEAVTIKCL. "The English race has shown a genius for col- onization and the colonists have carried with them their love of the beautiful. Australia has some of the finest gardens In the world. Sydney and Melbourne, in addition to ordinary public parks, possess magnificent botanical gardens supported out of the public treasury." The lect.urer then adduced some facts pointing to the prosperity of Melbourne, and said that laud iv Melbourne sold for as much as land in the heart of London, ana that Melbourne was able in 1883 to borrow In London £3,000.000 at at the rate of ;; ! -i per cent, aud could have bor- rowed three lime* as imicti without difficulty. In Houg-Kong too, the English occupiers had planted a beautiful garden for the people. M The garden, expanded into the park," Mr, McCoppin went on to say, " is of corntiaratlvely recent growth in America. The environments of the Puritans were Dot esthetic. The oldest park In America is Boston Common, a tract of forty- five acres, bought from Mr. Blackstoue in IGoi. ritOVISION FOB PUBLIC (iHul'Mt.S. " In laving off Washington, good i>rovisioa was made for public grounds. New York, on the other band. 111 1853 vat much tbe same M the San Franci'coof 1891. what is now Central Park at i bat tune being occupied by tenement-houses, ana Cowling Greea then being the most con- siderable oven space in the city. Most of the New York public grounds nave beeu acquired blare 1853. "San Francisco, 1 am sorry to say, Is behind every oilier city in Hie Union in the matter of public ground". A remedy lor the local public apathy is needed. A liberal public spirit is needed. In California everything Is Ivthe law." After a reference to the small numbers of pub- lic benefactors in the history of the city, Mr. McCoppin proceeded: " For the masses trip to Del Monte, to tbe East, to Cailsbad, is not pos- sible, and a ride to the pat or the beach Is their ouly means of recreation." HIS LADV-BfO. Mr. McCoppln then claimed that the Importa- tion of the lady-bug from Austialla was not due to .Secretary ltusk, but to the members of the commission which represented California ar the Melbourne Kxliibniou. After a description of the lavish manuer In which nature showers her Xlii Bpoa man in the southern part of the .State, Mr. McCoppm added: " Heie iiiuure is uot so prolific as Id the south. The garden and the parK have to be created by the hand of man." ROKiJKD BY A BOY. A Drunken Sailor Ileliered of His Watch l»y » Small Thief.

URBAN OASES.

Frank McCoppin Urges IncreasedPublic Grounds.

The Park and Garden Acreage of Other Muni-cipalities—The Wonderful Prog-

ress of Melbourne.

Fiank McCoDpln lectured last evening at theReal Estate Kxchange ou -Gardens and Parks."A fail-sized audience, which included several oftbe prominent leal estate men of the city,listened to the lecture.

"i-romihe beginuine." said Mr.MeCoppln insubuauee, '-a iove of tbe beautiful seems to h;ive

beeu lmpiauted hi m,in, and, as a result of thisfeeling. Rial has piauted gardens. The Gieeksand liomans developed this taste to a certain ex-tent, but the former devoted themselves as arace to national gymnastic games aud the latterto the bloody spoils of the amphitheater. Ihegarden, extended luto the park lvi the i-cople, isof modern growth.

"Inearly England tbe parks were the kings'came preserve*, closed to the masses of thepeople. Modern London, however, is well pro-vided with public recieatlon grounds. Thereare more ilia:)5000 acres of public parks for theuse of the people in the heart of London, and15.000 more acres of common in the environ-ments are free to all.

"Paris has the reputation of being the bestsupplied city Inthis respect, aud contains numer-ous publicpaiks. The Paris municipality haveextended large sums on streets and publicgrounds.

I.OVE OF THE BEAVTIKCL.

"TheEnglish race has shown a genius for col-onization and the colonists have carried withthem their love of the beautiful. Australia hassome of the finest gardens Inthe world. Sydneyand Melbourne, in addition to ordinary publicparks, possess magnificent botanical gardenssupported out of the public treasury."

The lect.urer then adduced some facts pointingto the prosperity of Melbourne, and said thatlaud iv Melbourne sold foras much as land inthe heart of London, ana that Melbourne wasable in1883 to borrow InLondon £3,000.000 atat the rate of ;;!-i per cent, aud could have bor-rowed three lime* as imicti without difficulty.In Houg-Kong too, the English occupiers hadplanted a beautiful garden for the people. •

MThe garden, expanded into the park," Mr,McCoppin went on to say,

"is of corntiaratlvely

recent growth in America. The environments ofthe Puritans were Dot esthetic. The oldest parkInAmerica is Boston Common, a tract of forty-five acres, bought from Mr. Blackstoue in IGoi.

ritOVISION FOB PUBLIC (iHul'Mt.S."In laving off Washington, good i>rovisioa was

made for public grounds. New York, on theother band. 111 1853 vat much tbe same M theSan Franci'coof 1891. what is now Central Parkat ibat tune being occupied by tenement-houses,ana Cowling Greea then being the most con-siderable oven space in the city. Most of theNew York public grounds nave beeu acquiredblare 1853.

"San Francisco, 1am sorry to say, Is behindevery oilier city inHie Union in the matter ofpublic ground". A remedy lor the local publicapathy is needed. A liberal public spirit isneeded. In California everything Is Ivthe law."

After a reference to the small numbers of pub-lic benefactors in the history of the city, Mr.McCoppin proceeded:

"For the masses trip

to Del Monte, to tbe East, to Cailsbad, is not pos-sible, and a ride to the pat or the beach Is theirouly means of recreation."

HIS LADV-BfO.Mr.McCoppln then claimed that the Importa-

tion of the lady-bug from Austialla was not dueto .Secretary ltusk, but to the members of thecommission which represented California ar theMelbourne Kxliibniou. After a description ofthe lavish manuer In which nature showers herXliiBpoa man in the southern part of the .State,Mr.McCoppm added:

"Heie iiiuure is uot so

prolific as Id the south. The garden and theparK have to be created by the hand of man."
