VICTORIA PARK.
The erection of fcbe iaerble tablet commemorating the opening of Vdctoria Park by the Hon. William Rolfeston will recall to grateful remembrance how much we owe to the fwresiglbt of the* wise and patriotic cofoniet, not oaJy in settdng apart this particular reserve, but also in preserving access to, the Port Hills by roads and paths. The reoenit »le of sed4jaw at Cashmere, and the everinoreaaing number of the cifcaens who take their recreation on the halls, «ihow Jiow much these breezy heighta are already appreciated by tihe dwellers in ttoe C% of the Plains. Futanw generataons, aided by the reminder which has just been set up, will, we feel sore, never oeaee to feel their indebtedness to Mr RoHeefcon for'whatf he has done in this matter. Hie eexviote to tlhe colony and to the Empire will live in history, but ihe Canterbury people among whom he dwelt, will oherish. with especial affection the memory of the thoughtfukess and foresight with which Jm> made provision for the health and" rareotion of Ihe generations to come.
