WashingtOnians yesterday
Never has this popular resort drawa such
an appreciative audience as that which

The chutes worked perfectly aud as
safely as though the pledsUTe-seekers were

A start-a sudden rush-a splash-two
or three leaps of q boat in the water
that's what shooting the chute is. But
you'll never know exactly the sensation
until you try it, There is a thrill OF
impending danger, but il is comfortably
modified by a sense Of abSCIure security.
The chute at River View IS destined to
become one OF the things that a resident
OF the Capital City is obliged 10 experience.

store at No. 1880 New York avenue yes
