CHILDRENS' PLAY GROUND
Here's a Chance to Chip Into the Fund
and Keep the Play Grounds Going.

Here's n Chance to Chip Into the Fund
and Keep the Play Grounds Going.
Three Fairgrounds for children were
maintained in Providence during the
summer OF 1894, one each on Smiths
Hill, Atwells avenue, and Vinton street.
They were designed as places where chill
dren confined to the city during the hot
months, and especially children
living in the closely populated districts,
could go for recreation and play. Each
ground was under the charge OF kinder
gsrtners, whose influence was TO make
the plays orderly and peaceful, and
who had at their command all the re-
sources OF the kindergarten, 10 interest
children and lead them in the right way.
The Fairgrounds were kept open for six
weeks, with an average attendance OF over
ninety children each week, at a total ex-
pense OF $40 each.
This year it is proposed to establish
nine Fairgrounds, three for boys from
10 to Ii years of age, aud six
foS girls and little children. Young
men will act as leaders in the boys play
grounds, maintaining order and justice in
the spotts, teaching new games as well as
short excursions with the boys to places
of historic or scenic interest, and acting
in general as elder brot hers.
kindergartens will be in charge OF the
Fairgrounds for girls and little children,
which will be conducted on much the
same plan as last year, except that
instructions will be given to the girls
In sewing and perhaps other domestic
duties, and the experience OF last year
will make It possible to otherwise enlarge
and improve the work.
The grounds will be located in different
parts OF the city, near to or in the most
congested districts.
Contributions for the support of the
Fairgrounds are solicited by the joint COM
mittee Of the Union for Practical Progress
and the Free Kindergarten Association,
and may be sent TO treasurer of the former
society, Mr.. William p. Goodwin, 20
Market Square, ana will DO acknowledged
by him.

MOTHER WIT I?
The Untimely End OF an Ungracious
Dog.

Dog.
The following instance, II 1t does not
come strictly within the meaning OF the
saying that "an ounce Of motherwit is
worth ton OF book learning" IL
yet illustrates how effectively
animal can quickly accomplish its pur-
pose. The men at work the other morn
ing at Roger Williams Park were greeted
by a young colt that had arrived within
the city's domain the night Before. III
was warmly welcomed by all the denizens
in the locality with one exception. The
exception was a dog, who seemed disposed
TO be jealous Of the colt. lie started In
barking and snarling at the latter,
and this annoyed not only the new arrival,
but also his mother. The latter watched
the cur at his displeasing, but evidently
self satisfactory, occupation >-for a while,
until the tormentor got into certain
position of considerable utility to him
in the business of nagging. and
then the mother let both her
hind heels fly backward. The blow was
well directed and fell on the dogs skull,
splitting it 80 severely that never more
will the canine either irritate that colt or
have the pleasure of baying the moon.
The number of animals at the park Is,
therefore, no more nor no less than 1t was
fore the colt was born.
