The removal of the trees along the east side of the lake and the installation of a concrete retaining wall la a pleasing change and enables a fine view of the lake and "grounds from the trains. The big improvement, not alone from an amusement standpoint, but also for appearance, is the rearrangement of the 'bathing houses and the installation of Waikiki beach. All the bath houses have been rearranged And new ones erected, and all the structures hyq been painted snow white, the one color 'that correctlyarraoaieed with the foliage. Two beaugrass, flowerM-antiful fountains throw' an immense rolumn of water which is pumped from a warm spring, making it pleas-an- t for bathing in the inner lakes while the weather is yet cool.
