coLoRED PEOPLE INDIGNANT.
Considerable disappointment and wrath was
occasioned yesterday among colored pleasure
seekers By their exclusion from Bethesda Park.
The management OF that resort had posted
signs bearing the information that Bethesda
Park was private park for white people.
When the colored excuTsionists were denied
admission they held impromptu indignation
meeting. at which good deal of purely race
prejudice |as manifested. The park people
declare that they were forced TO take the step
to prevent the place being monopolized by the
colored folks. White people would not pa
tronize the place If the colored picnickers were
permitted 20 have their way. For several
weeks the patronage Of Afro-Americans has
been on the increase

duct bridge yesterday and 200 vehicles. The
travel was proportionately heavy along the
other thOroughfares-
