Reservoir Square is, what would

people who prefer to chance a guess

you would probably reply that 1t is in
Central Park. But it isn't.
Reservoir Square covered four and
three-Quarters acres. being larger than
~Stuyvcsant Park and smaller than
Madison Square. and II was separated
from Fifth avenue 10y the distributing
reservoir which supplied New York
with water. This reservoir covered
more than four acres ana held 10000
600 gallons. The retaining reservoir
in Central Park held 1880, 0Oo. 900 gal
Ions and the receiving reservoir there

the Croton River, forty miles away, In
1912. after five years work and the ex-
penditure Of Sl2 SOC. 900. and as late as
1876 New York plumed itself on having
the finest aoueduct in the world. The
water was brought down from Central
Park TO Reservoir Square in five lines
Of iron pipe, two 80 inches. two 3S
| inches and one As inches In diameter.

SAXON SIX AUTO
PROVES SUPERIOR

Before 5000 enthusiastic spectators
stock Saxon six captured two firsts
and third place and won the most
points in the demonstration contest
just held at the San Diego exposition
motor demonstration show. Although
exceeded in both power and number
of cylinders by higher priced entries,
the Saxon was the only car which won
the trophy in two events.
The performance OF the Saxon was
so con sinC!ng that a spectator bought
and paid for the victorious six" on
the exposition grounds, and. without
waiting to get ii cleaned up, drove the
winning car home.
The hill climb, which the Saxon
won. was one of the most grueling
ever staged. Contestants in this event
we're required TO drive down the So
percent grade of Exposition hill and
up the 80 percent pitch. Then. the
drivers were obliged to turn around
and reverse the order of descending
and climbing. The Saxon not only
made the best time, but was one of the
cars able TO reach the top OF the 81
percent grade.
More expensive cars were defeated
by the Saxon in the relay race. The
Saxon romped nrOund the track in fast
time, winning the award of the judges
