The Car However thQ route-finders got a pretty fair idea of the things Harris burg has done for itself since 1902. Incidentally the party got some good tips on Assistant Superintendent Hof fert's capabilities as a chauffeur of the park department car. The party left Mancet Square at 2:20 and followed practically the en tire route which will be covered by the auto train in September. This will be arranged in detail later. In brief here are some of the points touched upon: Across the Susquehanna to the city island via the Market street bridge— a modern structure of concrete and steel, by the way, which has replaced the old frame "camel back" in the last fifteen years—the rdute-tlnders swung. Glimpses of the city nursery, the new coal wharf of the Electric Light Com pany and the city's filter plant probably one of the first big munici pal improvements provided by Harris burg—were had before the turn to the lower end of the islanuf. An import ant point on the September inspection trip, however, will be the filtration plant. Before the party left the island they had a look at some hundreds of youngsters playing on the island play grounds and at the lower point an other hundred or so were enjoying themselves at the island bathhouse. The First Exhibits A genial young "life-guard" in an amazing grass-green bathing suit call ed upon one or two crop haired youngsters to show Mr. Hopkins some high diving stunts. From the island the party sped back to the city and then on down Front street, past the splendid parks, under the new concrete subway of the Cumberland Valley railroad tracks While not a city-bought improvement, it is nevertheless a monolith in the history of the city's public improve ment history. How the perspective of the sightseer may be broadened and deepened by the distance was pretty well illustrated while the party was enroute from the island. The sweep of the great stretch of the "front steps of Harris burg" with the white Front street sub way in the background could only have appeared to sucn splendid ad vantage from that point. Just what a magnificent Job the new Cumberland Valley bridge really is by the way. could be partially appreciated when the party had a first-hand view from the island point. The Pioneer Plunge At Paxton street Superintendent Hoffert swung Tils car Into the park river front and then much to the con sternation of his fellow-riders, he chugged over the embankment to the broad granolithic walk along the water's edge. The bank. In time, was reached via the Paxton street landing road but Mr. Hoffert kept to the edge of the park. Thus the route-finaers could see more of the steps, the newly In stalled standard lights of the park, and the sweep of the grading opera tions on the embankment by which Mr. Taylor is turning the lower "river bank' into a real park. Not so many years ago, when you were seven or eight, perhaps, that river bank was a mass of jimson weed end willotvs —splendid Indian and buf falo' country, if you were seven or eight, 'tis true —but not exactly con ducive to good health. The Passing of a Hunting Ground Gone are the mouths of the sewer inlet's that offered such splendid sum mering places for mosquitoes; gone are the odors; gone the high water possibles, the ragged line of "river bank" with its heaps of ashes and refuse, the Jimson weeds and the wil lows. Only the memory of the hunt ing grounds of the Indian and the buf falo remain. That's a matter of but fifteen years, too. The park car zigzagged along the embankment edge and the route tind ers had a good view of the dam—the only one of its peculiar kind of con crete construction in the country, 'tis said—and thence over the brand new Dock street bridge to the new mu nifipal asphalt repair plant in South Ninth street. Upstairs a genial official opened a big vat of boiling asphalt anjJ showed the party how the asphalt for repair ing Harrisburg's streets is prepared. After a few minutes of that the party escaped to the outer air, where the thermometer only registered in the lower nineties. Tlie Story of a Great Game Sycamore street playgrounds, the new five-acre recreation section re cently bought by Commissioner Tay lor. was visited next. Scores of men were, -busy grading the eighth-mile track so that it can be in shape for the annual playground meet before school opens. Incidentally an excited crowd of pig-tailed girls from the Penn building vigorously explained to Mr. Taylor how and why they lost at the interplayground ball match. From the playgrounds the car hur ried to the Cameron parkway. Many evidences of the improvement spirit that has made Harrisburg famous are there. For instance, along Spring creek is the big four-foot steel rein forced concrete sewer that drains the whole end of the Hill south of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad and the new concrete stone-faced bridge that spans Spring creek. In Cameron Parkway Less than fifteen years ago that par ticular section of Spring creek valley was little less than a chestnuting ground for hosts of small boys who wanted an objective point for a Sat urday "tramp in the country." To day it is a splendid driveway and in a few years, judging from present ap pearances of the young elms along the route. It will be arched with grand old trees. The first shovel of earth in the new section of the parkway, the stretch that will swing past Potter's Field, skirt the edges of Paxtang Park and follow the line of the creek past the ages-old stone springhouse near the Paxtang subway, was turned yester day. Park Commissioner Taylor showtd his party where the proposed new roadway will be constructed. Skirting the almshouse, the party left the parkway route and swung around to Melrose street and thence through Bellevue Into Reservoir Park. In the distance the party saw the green lacing of trees that marked the valley of Paxtang creek—the route of the proposed extension of the city's new encircling parkway drive. On the way to Reservoir the party had another evidence of Mr. Hofffert's ability at the wheel. Nearer Their Home The road winds along the East Har risburg Cemetery and the car'had to make a sudden sharp turn to get Into the main road. Mr. Hoffert whirled the wheel and the car dove—for a mo ment—toward the cemetery fence. "That," explained Mr. Taylor, who acted as a sort of sightseeing an nouncer.' "is the cemetery!" "Yes, I thought we were pretty close to the cemetery that time." observed Mr. Hopkins when he had recovered his breath. A few minutes later the automobile moved into Reservoir Park and for ten minutes route Anders sped over the roads in that splendid part of Harris burg's park system. On Oak Knob The stone-parapeted outlook a-top of Oak Knob, the new high service reservoir, the acres of sloping lawns, the new golf house, the tennis courts, the links, and the great curving drive way recently constructed to form the Twenty-first street entrance to the park—they were all visited long enough to give the visitors a brief idea of the wonders of the popular recreation place. From Reservoir the party turned back to the citv, had a swift glance at the Twelfth. Penn, Caldcr and Em erald street playgrounds and then moved to Wildwood. Just as the car turned into the park entrance the oc cupants caught a glimpse of the con creted basin of Paxton creek. The im provement begins at Maclay street and Is one of the big jobs which is prac tically completed. Since the Days of tlie "Old Grass Road" To tell a tenth of what the sight seeing auto train will see in Wild wood in Septemher would take col umns and columns.

Less than a decade ago old huntsmen and fishermen and occasionally a few i picnickers invaded that big stretch of woodland and they did so fearfully. To-day Wildwood is a regular picnic ground *for hundreds of Harrisburg's small-folk. The route-finders, on their way tfl the big dam which controls by the | weir-and-outfall system, the supply of water that flows into Paxton creek the party passed over the old "grass road." More than a hundred years ago that highway was a popular one for the .scores of farmers, and, often by the moccaslned folks who preceded Mr. I Harris to this part of the country. Why Floods Arc No More The flood control and dam at the upper end >of Wildwood was among Harrisburg's early improvements—a matter of some ten or a dozen years ago—and in addition to preventing the wasteful and more or less disastrous floods of j?ast years along the creek valley, it nelps form Wildwood lake. The lake rippled like a diamond in a green setting of wooded banks yes terday afternoon and the park car and its party paused for a few minutes on the brow of a wooded bluff to enjoy the scene. It's a safe bet that the big auto train in September will stop sometime there, too. Swinging around the curving bluff road of Wildwood overhanging the lake the party finally reached the boathouse. And after a few minutes, started on the last lap of its inspec tion trip, out the Llnglestown road to the river and thence the new stretch of State improved highway to Market Square. At the End of the Circle Enroute the party had a fleeting glimpse of the girl campers on Mc- Cormick's island. A little further down the route-finders saw where the line of the city's front steps begin at Maclay street. That newly improved section of the river park was observed briefly as the car sped past. This was also true o fthe new plaza at the rear of the pumping station. But all these points will get more than passing attention, however, when the auto train swings round the circle, because Harrisburg will have much to show. That in why and what Harrisburg is planning to celebrate September 23, 24 and 21. HAS APPENDICITIS William McCaleb, son of W. B.
