_Parks._--In 1908 Cincinnati had parks covering about 540 acres; there
are numerous pleasant driveways both within the city limits and in the
suburban districts, and several attractive resorts are within easy
reach. Eden Park, of 214 acres, on Mount Adams, about 1 m. E. of the
business centre and near the river, is noted for its natural beauty,
greatly supplemented by the landscape-gardener's skill, and for its
commanding views. The ground was originally the property of Nicholas
Longworth (1782-1863), a wealthy citizen and well-known horticulturist,
who here grew the grapes from which the Catawba wine, introduced by him
in 1828, was made. The park contains the art museum and the art academy.
Its gateway, Elsinore, is a medieval reproduction; other prominent
features are the reservoirs, which resemble natural lakes, and a high
water tower, from which there is a delightful view. In Burnet Woods
Park, lying to the N.E. of Eden and containing about 163 acres, are the
buildings and grounds of the University of Cincinnati, and a lake for
boating and skating. The zoological gardens occupy 60 acres and contain
a notable collection of animals and birds. Other pleasure resorts are
the Lagoon on the Kentucky side (in Ludlow, Ky.), Chester Park, about 6
m. N. of the business centre, and Coney Island, about 10 m. up the river
on the Ohio side. Washington (5.6 acres), Lincoln (10 acres), Garfield
and Hopkins are small parks in the city. In 1907 an extensive system of
new parks, parkways and boulevards was projected. Spring Grove cemetery,
about 6 m. N.W. of Fountain Square, contains 600 acres picturesquely
laid out on the park plan. It contains many handsome monuments and
private mausoleums, and a beautiful mortuary chapel in the Norman style.

_Water-Supply._--A new and greatly improved water-supply system for the
city was virtually completed in 1907. This provides for taking water
from the Ohio river at a point on the Kentucky side opposite the village
of California, Ohio, and several miles above the discharge of the city
sewers; for the carrying of the water by a gravity tunnel under the
river to the Ohio side, the water being thence elevated by four great
pumping engines, each having a daily capacity of 30,000,000 gallons, to
settling basins, being then passed through filters of the American or
