BOdK's / PARK.
A Pleasant Drive and an Ele-
CANT Suburban Resort.

T-EEsN s-sTE- -
To those who enjoyed the hospitali-
ties of Bogk's City Park last summer,
it will not be necessary to say that
but few resorts possess SO many of the
requisites of a pleasant summer re-
treat. The drive is a delightful one
through the valley, with a smooth
read and surrounded on every side
by scenery which presents the gram
duer of the mountains, the pastoral
valley scene and the weird beauty Of
the foothills, clad in native fir and
pine. The gardens have recently
been leased by Messrs. Crockwella and
Bassett who have made important
additions to the pavilion and greatly
improved the grounds. The quaking
asp with which the park is orna-
mented, have thriven wonderfully
and the carriage way around the en-
tire grounds is now protected by their
cool shade. Shady arbors, sylvan
retreats and rustic bridges, beneath
which flow the limpid waters of the
Silver Bow, have been arranged, and
for the amusement of the children,
swings and a flying dutchman'
have been put up. For those inclined
to athletic sports and Workmanship,
queits, croquet grounds and a well
appointed shooting gallery have been
provided. The management propose
to make the gardens in every respect
an enjoyable and first class place Of
resort during this summer, and in
addition to the natural attractions of
the Park, dancing parties will be
given in the Pavilion every Wednes-
day and Sunday evening. On Sum
day evenings the party will be
entirely select, and great pains will
be taken to divest them of every fea-
ture which might be considered in
the least Objectionable in a public
ball. Burke's elegant band has been
engaged to furnish the music, for both
Wednesday and Sunday evening
parties and Professor Leford will To
master of ceremonies on the floor.
In order to afford all an opportunity
to enjoy the dive and visit the Park
at a comparatively small expense, a
contract has been entered into with
VIM. Warield to run two hacks be-
tween the city and the Park, making
hourly trips up to the close of the
dance at midnight. The hacks will
commence running tomorrow (Sun-
day. when Messrs. Crockwell & Bas-
sett will be prepared to receive WISH
tors with their well-known hospi-
tality. On nights other than We'd
nesday and Sunday private parties
may secure the use Of the pavilion
hall by seeing the managers. The
cuisine is in charge of a competent
caterer, and elegant picnic collations
will be served daily from IL a. m
to IL M, and from 6 to I p. m.
The bibatory department will
be in charge Of George Crockwell,
who's accomplishments as a mixolo-
gist are we'll known, from his long
connection with the establishment of
Messrs. Fisher & McGovern in this
city. Prof. Bassett, the popular in
structor in instrumental music, will
~officiate at the piano. The Park is
certainly provided with every requi-
site to make it the popular resort Of
those desiring to escape for a few
hours from the heat and dust of the
during the summer months, and
the liberal outlay made by Messrs.
Creckwell & Bassett to provide such
place, entities them to u liberal
share of public patronage.
