ROUNDUP PARK TO Be IMPROVED

When the next Roundup audience
is seated it will face a view still more
picturesque than in past years, for an
eXpanse of silvery water will lie be-
tween the Indian village and the are
ma. The artificial lake, planned
when the park was laid out, will be
completed during the present year, If
something unforeseen does not occur.
Already L. G. Frazier. director of
grounds, has force of men at work
making the excavation for this lake.
Because of the natural hollow which
already exists, there will not have to
be any great amount of excavation
done and Director Frazier declares
he Will have no difficulty in creating
the lake before the next exhibition
The lake will be about 200 feet In
length and its north bank will skirt
the grove where the Indians encamp.
its south bank will be irregular in
shape, being indented here and there
to destroy as much of the artificialty
az possible. Its eastern limit will be
within few feet of the driveway
which leads past the bleachers into
the grove. Just on the other side of
the driveway will be another small
lake and still further east a little
moss-rock pool which will have a
fountain playing in the center and its
banks covered with ivy and other
vines.
Either another large lake or a
swimming pool will be constructed be-
tween the western limits OF the lake
now under way and the barns. The
original intention was to make this
into a swimming pool but the direc.
tors are now waiting until some de-
cision is reached regarding the prop
ositicn to construct q swimming pool
on Walters Island. fr this is done.
the Roundup will abandon its inten-
ton and create another lake, separat-
ed from the first by rustic bridge
In the event swimming pool Is
constructed, 1t will be about 150 feet
long and 65 feet wide. 1t will be of
