FIRTH PARK , SHEFFIELD . —Twelve months since the Prince and Princess of Wales visited Sheffield for the purpose of opening the public park given to the town by Mr . Mark Firth . Since then Mr . Firth has spent several thousand pounds in cutting roadways through the park , ornamenting it , and in building an entrance lodge . These works are now completed , and to celebrate the event there

was a demonstration in the park yesterday . The weather was unfortunately very unfavourable . The Corporation visited the park in their official robes , and in the course of the afternoon tbe Mayor , Alderman Tasker , presented Mr . Firth with an illuminated copy of a vote of thanks passed

to him by the Corporation at the meeting following the Royal visit . In the evening there was a grand display at Cutler ' s Hall , the dinner being given especially to Mr . Firth . The park is on a part of a town near to some of the largest ironworks , and will be much appreciated by the workmen .
