AT WHEELING PARK.
Superintendent Henry Weisgerber
stated last night that upwards OF 5000
people were carried over the w. & E.
&. road yesterday, making the largest
DAVIS business 10 the history OF the
road. The service was perfect There
were few, il any delays, and Superin-
tendent Weisgerber is entitled to praise
for the admirable manner in which the
crowd was handled. The attend
ance at the Park was probably
larger than at any OF the resorts in this
vicinity. The early morning trains
were crowded. many persons remaining
at the park until noon. and spending
the remainder of the day somewhere
else. There have been few days in the
history of the park when the crowd as
sumed greater proportions. There was
not a single disturbance reported.
At Seibert's Garden the crowd was
also large, especially In the evening.
As special attractions there was bowl
Ing contest, open TO all, and novel
fishing idea. The name Of the winner
in the bowling contest will be
announced to-day. A great many
persons paid twenty-five cents for
the privilege OF spending FIVE
minutes in an effort to catch
one OF the large carp with which the
fountain was stocked. The successful
fisherman received a handsome cash
prize. The dancing pavilion was well
filled at all times, and excellent orches-
trial music was provided.
The crowd
AT MOZART PARK,
the beautiful hill top resort, numbered
about 5000 people. 1t would have been
larger had not an unfortunate accident
occurred in the morning. Early in the
day one of the cogs Of the machinery of
the incline broke, aud the incline
could not be put in operation
again until two o'clock in the
afternoon. Many went to the park In
the morning, aud finding the incline out
OF order went back to their homes.
When the machinery was In working
order again, the crowds taxed the ca.
pacity Of the incline.
At this resort there were varied at
fractions. Meister's band and orchestra
were present. The orchestra gave the
music for the dancing on the pavilion,
which was crowded all afternoon. The
band was stationed at the new stand
and furnished delightful music for those
who congregated under the shade trees,
or occupied the swings. A large nu N Der
enjoyed the bowling on the new alleys.
Some very good scores were made, and
there was rivalry there all afternoon.
The new pins and balls for the alleys
have arrived.
In the evening, there was one OF the
prettiest scenes ever behed at the park.
The association did all IL could to make
the fireworks success, and this was
accomplished. From the mound, the
highest point at the park, rockets and
other fireworks were sent up In quick
succession. An expert In pyrotechuics
furnished two set pieces.
