A NEW PASTIME. 



Following a trail of uprooted valu- 

 able young trees In Riverside Park ex- 

 tending from 14.'id street to 146th 

 street, Christopher McGuire, the park 

 keeper, last night found Joseph Blake 

 about to weed out a group of the most 

 highly prized Japanese shrubs along 

 Riverside Drive. 



"Hi, there, what are you doing?" 

 called McGuire. 



"Just exercising my back a little," 

 replied Blake, giving a tug to a par- 

 ticularly well-rooted bush. McGuire 

 led him to a foot-thick young ash tree 

 and suggested he haul on that until 

 Patrolman Ornstein of the West 152d 

 street station arrived. 



When he was arrested Blake gave 

 his home as under the trees and his 

 occupation as a horticultural engineer. 

 He was locked up charged with mali- 

 cious mischief and intoxication. 



Investigation showed that Blake had 

 uprooted neary thirty trees and shrubs. 

 The damage was estimated as more 

 than $50n — .Ycic York Press. 



t 



the roots oi tin- pLiuis liu nui come in 

 direct contact with the water under- 

 neath, while there is still abundant 

 room for soil and roots, a condition 

 which other reservoir vases do not al- 

 ways provide for. The accompanying 

 picture shows one of many patterns 

 and sizes, all of which are described in 

 the M. D. Jones Co.'s catalogue which 

 may be had for the asking.
