OPENING OF CRESCENT PARK.


Crescent Park will open as usual on
Memorial Day with big boom and II
the crowds OF people that have thronged
Manager Boyden's popular resort so far
this season AFFORD any criterion II is safe
before. Never, since Mr.. Boyden opened
Crescent Park, has he had such ella borate
plans for the entertainment and comfort
OF the half million people who visit him
In the season ss he has done this spring.
Many improvements have been made at
the Park this spring, and those who have
notalready been there and who visit II
Day, will note the number OF innova-
tions and novelties designed for the en-
tertainment and comfort OF the public.
On Memorial Day there will be concerts
by Reeves's American Band. Manager
Boyden will serve, as always, "the best
GUS anusements and diversions of all
kinds will bs in full blast from morning
until night.
To THOUSANDS of people perhaps the chief
event of interest In these days when not
to own wheel Is to be not In the swim,
will be the opening Of the new quarter
mile cycle track, which has been con-
structed In the remarkably short space OF
four weeks, at an expense which Will
probably reach somewhere near w, 600,
considerably exceeding the original esti-
mate. There will be six races OF an ex-
ceedingly Interesting character, for which
there are an unexpectedly large number
OF entries, including many OF the crack
riders of this section. The quarter mile
State championship will be an event OF
exceptional interest and 1t Is thought
not unlikely that 1t may result In record
breaking.
The track itself is expected to prove
one or the fastest In the country and GER
tainly.it should be so IL the very best en-
gineering and mechanical skill that mon-
ey can command count for anything.
The list of prizes is an exceptionally at
tractive one, and their value will reach
$500. So short has been the time avail
able for the construction of the track and
the various appurtences thereof that 1t
may be possible that some OF the latter
may not be in completed condition on
Memorial Day, but the public may rest
assured that nothing serious will be Lack
ing for their comfort and pleasure.
