nels have been cleaned out and made wider, forming lagoons. Three 

 dams have been erected securing more than three acres of water sur- 

 face of sufficient depth for bathing purposes. The water comes 

 from our mineral springs and is likely to heal while it purifies. 

 There are three wooded islands. Straight lines are ignored and 

 curved and irregular lines are the rule. A leading feature is the 

 numerous driveways and walks that meander along shady and grassy 

 banks by the side of still water. Everything is original, like the 

 owner of the park. As a play place for the people it can hardly 

 be surpassed. Who will follow so worthy an example?
