CREEK ARMY HORSES.
Hungary Furnishes Large Supply at
$3.50 Each.

Consul General George Horton
makes the following report from
Athens on the methods of purchasing
horses for the Greek army:
Nearly all the horses used by the
Greek army are bought in Hungary.
Recently an order for IT'S horses
was placed in Szabadka, at $50 and
500 francs each (franc equals 1913
cents), delivered in Piraeus. The
Hungarian Society Thierversiche-
rungs- -Gesellschaft, of Budapest, has
now invited the Greek government to
inspect a lot of 1900 horses that II
has on hand.
This Is a society of which many OF
the leading horse raisers of Hun
gary belong, and it is said that the
participation of the society in any
transaction is a guaranty of quality
For this reason its price for cavalry
horses about 80 francs higher than
the prices quoted for the 715, some
of which are alleged to have beer

nished by a private dealer. The So
cietys price of $40 drachmas apiece
at present rates of exchange, Is abou,
$3.50 per horse.

tacks of time and weather.
The aqueduct will carry 80 times as
much water as did the famous aque-
ducts of Rome combined. The IL
reservoirs which must be constructed
to hold the enormous flow of water
from the various watersheds of the
Catskills and adjacent hills will far
exceed in size anything of the kind in
the world. One of these reservoirs
will be ~ miles long with an aver
age width of IN miles. The Asho'
kan reservoir alone will have a ca
pacity of 170,O00,000 gallons, ol
double the present water supply OF
New York city.

Peekskill, n. Y, June 20.-With
impressive ceremonies near here to-
day work was formally inaugurated
in one of the greatest engineering
undertakings in the worlds history
the aqueduct which is to supply New
York city with water from the Cats
kill mountain region. The aqueduct
will be the greatest of ancient or mod
ern times. 1t will cost s161, 900, 900
$40, 100000 in excess Of the estimated
cost of the Panama canal and thirty
times the cost OF the Corinth canal,
which the Roman empire under Nero
undertook but did not finish.
A large official party from New
York city participated in the cere-
monies marking the Inauguration of
the work of construction. Bishop
Potter offered prayer, ]. Edward Sim
mons, president of the board Of water
supply, made the welcoming address,
and Mayor Mcclellan delivered the
principal address of the day. Charles
N. Chadwick made the formal presen-
tation OF the spade to the contractors
and the exercises were brought to a
close with benediction by Right
Rev. Father Lavelle, vicar general
OF the diocese Of New York.
II is estimated that It will take be-
tween Is and 20 years to complete
the aqueduct.- When finished 1t will
increase the water supply OF the me-
tropolis by 500,0o0,0oo gallons every
"a hours, led under the Hudson river
more than 100 miles away from the
seven artificial lakes to be construct
ed in the Catskills, and Of these sour
ces that at Ashokan alone will con-
tain more water than all three Of the
Lakes Of Killarney.
The building OF the aqueduct. which
will have a capacity of a small river,
beneath the Hudson river and the ir-
regular country adjacent known as
the Highlands is an extremely diff
cult problem. An enormous territory
must be drained, whose northern
boundary is 100 miles from New
York city. In an area OF over sew.
eral hundred square miles entire town,
must be destroyed to make room for
reservoirs. II has been decided tc
carry the tunnel beneath the famou,
headland of the Hudson known al
Storm King. At this point the vladuc
will be built more than 500 feet be
low the surface Of the river.
The aqueduct will be covered
throughout its entire length. Mucl
