| lcstcIUdl was uelIR Htl VI ouu oimSSs
perfect summer day.
The mercury ranged at the very COM
Portable temperatures OF rs to 81, dur
ing the whole OF the afternoon, fresh
breeze was blowing, aud the sun was
bright.
Through some oversight on the part
of the weather bureau, no rain
fell, and folks laid aside the overshoes,
waterproofs and umbrellas they have
been toting about for the last ten days,
and had real nice time. Spring cos
tunes were out in force, and the own
ers of new light suits and white vests
arrayed themselves in these garments
and hied themselves to the parks, drove
into the country, or promenaded the
streets. Scores OF wheelmen took ad-
vantage OF the opportunity TO indulge
in spins, and all sorts and conditions OF
vehicles were pressed into service dur
ing the day.
The attendance at the Parks was
large. At Wheeling Park the rush ne
cessitated the division OF the .. IN.
train into three sections, and at three
| and four o'clock there was also quite q
scramble for places in the cars. The
| Park presented delightful appearance,
and was thoroughly enjoyed by all, and
| by none more so than the strangers
from Pittsburg and other points. The
new Casino was the centre OF attraction
! for the visitors, and one or more Elks
were always ABOUT the building, eX-
planning its beauties. and dialating upon
the manifold attractions for June 9Th
and 9TH. In the music pavilion the 0pe.

At Mozart Park the Pittsburg post
office employees, who came down on Al
early train, were entertained Jointly by
the Park management and the Wheel
ing postoffice people, and very pleas
ant day was enjoyed. The visitors all
expressed themselves well pleased with
the new park, and left last evening In a
very jolly frame OF mind.
Owing TO the very heavy fog which
prevailed along the river from midnight
Saturday night until after daylight yes
terday morning, the steamer c..
W. Bachelor with the Pitts
| burq Naval Reserve on
board, did not arrive at the wharf until
about ten o'clock yesterday morning
many hours late. The stop at the land
ing was only about half an hour, but
still q very large crowd assembled TO
see the sailors, and two police officers
were detailed to keep the crowd back
from the gang plank. 1t had been
hoped the Reserve would give short
parade, but this was impossible under
the circumstances, and the Bachelor
left for up stream before eleven o'clock.
The Forepaugh circus, on the Bridge
Park, was centre OF attraction all day
Yesterday, and thousands OF people WIS.,
tied the tents. The circus got In from
Sistersvlle, over the Ohio river road,
about four o'clock In the morning, and
by eight the tents were up and the
grounds in ship shape order.
The G.. A. r. Memorial services at
tracted good deal OF attention, during
the day, and large numbers OF people
witnessed the parade OF the Post and w.
X. c., last evening, to the Zane street
| M. f. church.
IL was a very lively and Interesting
Sunday all through, and genuine day
OF rest and recreation for a large pro-
portion of the population.
