Black S,Dans Tenants
Of Riverside Lake

Always keeping ahead Of the local
movements to make the city more
beautiful and better home town, SUI
perintendent S. w. R,sbee has added
rare water fowl to enhance the lake In
Riverside. He has purchased and has
housed on the margin OF the lake a
mated pair OF black Russian swans.
Their home Is an artistic Kellastone
nesting house on the south margin OF
the lake.
With them are to be placed a pair
of white Russian swans which have
been ordered and will be shipped from
Russia Just as soon as shipment Is safe
from unusual war risks. Superintend-
ent Rubee expects them in thirty or
sixty days. Both birds are quite rare
in this country. They were bought for
live ornaments for the lake, and their
graceful beauty will add TO spot that
is already greatly admired. Partly for
the swans, and also to add TO the APP
pearance of the lake shore. it is be-
ing graveled all around.
Lovers of flowers should not miss
the midday opportunity of going to
Riverside to see the tulips. They are
at their best now and fully open in
the middle of the day! Huge beds Of
solid scarlets. yellows. and other col
ors make brilliant splotches on the
