HAMILTON BEAUTY.

PARENT.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —In your Wednesday’s issue on the above subject you give a very good account, but there are one cr two slight mistakes which I would like to point out. Y r ou say before the days of the borough those magnificent trees were planted by the nklitary settler, while in fact they were planted by the East Hamilton Town Board. Mr Albert Potter, the chairman, undertook the work, and he bought the plants from Mr George Mason, the then Hamilton nurseryman, and the work was done by a few immigrants, who afterwards made Hamilton their home. The trees in the Lake reserve were planted in 1888 on a treeplarrting day. 'Mr James Bunciman brought most of the plants that he had grown there himself from his farm, while the trees in Steele Park were planted by the veterans on the 25th anniversary in 1889. —I am, etc., i ISAAC COATES.
