Among the historic places in Uonnec- ticut none is moro‘popular or more largely visited than Putnam Memorial Park. Tin? park is in Reading, but lletliol is the ncuront railroad station. It is about II four mile~drivo from Bothel, and a most delightful one, as tho pictur- esque scenery furnishes much to interest the traveler. . ' The park is more popular than over- this season, and is vieifcd daily by per- sons from all parts of the state. There is every accommodation for parties to make a day' s outing at this historic place, and many take advantage of the chance. , The commission appointed by the governor is doing much in the way of improvement about the grounds. The members of the commission are: Presi- dent, John H. Ferris, of South Norwalk; vice-president, Aaron Sanford, of New- town; superintendent, William S. Wort- man, of Bothcl; assistant supcrinton- rotary, L. W. Randall, of Bedding; treasurer, Geolge G. Durant, of Bethel; auditor, Henry Crofut, of Danbury. Under the direction of Superintendent Wortmun aforcc of men has been e111- ploycd at the park for several weeks, beautifying and improving the grounds One of the latest improvements is a finely shaded picnic ground, which has been made by filling and grading a piece of land just south of the main en- trance. Tables and lmnchcs have been built, and a long row of horse sheds erected. One big cannon from the State Arsen- a! In Hartford has lwcn presented to the park. and it was firedl‘orthe first time on the Fourth of July. Four more cannons, thirty-two pound- crs, and four pyramids of cannon balls, will be shipped from Washington, D.

The ground where those soldiers camped, to the extent of about sixty acres, lllih‘ been taken by the state and transformed into a beautiful park. Drives and walks are laid out in every direction, and log barracks, block houses, bridges. a large pavilion, 11 huge monu- ment and an ‘artiiivial bike are among the attractions. The monnnwnt is of native granite and stands on a high tract of land. It is ten feet square at the base, forty-two feet in height and crowned by :1 granite ball two foot and a half in diameter.
