At the Park, the visitors were met by
Mr.. Anton ReYmann and Col. August
Rolf, who showed them about the beau
tiful grounds. The visitors noted all
the improvements since last season, in
GLIDING the handsome new Casino
building, in the enclosure. The Park
never looked prettier. New walks and
drives have been laid out. and all the
superfluous trees and plants removed
giving it the appearance or well kept
gardeR or lawn, only upon wider and
more beautiful scale. Mr.. Max Hess,
the Park florist, has planted several
handsome flower beds, which looked
very pretty yesterday. On the whole
the visitors unanimously decided that
the Park, more than ever before, merits
the distinction OF being the garden
spot Of the Ohio Valley"

and art, the visitors were taken TO the

served. Then two bowling teams were

up better scores. Refreshments were
served al intervals during the after
noon.
When the second bowling contest
was finished an appetizlng luncheon
was served by Mrs. Kreiger. The
menu was excellent, and the quality OF
the cuisine was attested by the rapid
manner with which the viands disap-
peared from the table. While seated,
each guest was presented with several
of the fragrant magnolias for which
Wheeling Park is famous. Each guest
also received ons large magnolia, the
leaves measuring two feet in length.
Mr.. Beans briefly voiced the thanks
of the newspaper men for the handsome
manner ia which they were entertained,
and for past courtesies extended by

a few remarks.
