THAT EAST SIDE RESORT
Wannock Brothers Will Occupy the
Baron Rogniat Place
Failing to Secure Saloon License, They
viii Open the Gardens Under the
Restaurant Ordinance
RerNhe~5 8ncsnes
MsUTcJS . kDa sAGaee

Since the recent agitation of the license
question by the Wannocll brothers. and
which ended in victory for the residents
of East Side nothing further has been
heard of the proposal to convert the old
Baron Rogniat place on Downey avenue
into q pleasure resort until the present
time, when the announcement comes from
none other than the two gentlemen them
selves to the effect that they will be ready
TO receive the public from hence onward
indefinitely and refreshments will be
available to those who desire them in the
liquid and solid form.
When the application for a liquor
license was refused some time ago by the
city council it was thought by the public
that the matter would be dropped, and
while the residents of the quiet district or
the other side of the river were resting
serenely in the confidence that their To-
cality would not be invaded by the much
dreaded resort, suddenly they are awakened
with an invitation to come up and have q
drink.
Though denied a saloon license il an.
pears that the Wannock brothers have sue.
ceedcd in getting restaurant license and
will open their place in accordance wi b
the regulations prescribed thereby. The
restriction imposed by the restaurant H.
cense simply forbids the selling of liquors
Unless accompanied by a meal of some
kind. The meal, according 10 the interpre-
tation placed upon the ordinance by the
courts, may cor sist of anything from a
sandwich up to Il feast of a dozen courses.
One of the proprietors when seen yester-
day said that the original intention of max.
ing an elaborate resort of the place would
necessarily be somewhat changed. We
will, however, go ahead restoring the
grounds to their original beauty and in
every way improve the parks and lawns so
as to make OF it one of mosI attractive
spots in the city. The house will be
business and everything made as bright as
money al d art can make il.
The reporter was shown through all of
the rooms which are now undergoing a
complete change in the furnishings, etc. A
number have been set apart for priva g
dining rooms, all of which are being fitted
up in a handsome manner. The gardens
abou the house are being cleared of the
rubbish which has accumulated during the
months which the place has been without
tenants and ables will be distributed
among the trees and in inviting corners,
while in cen rally located spot will be a
stand which will be occupied by the Or
chestra.
The management intends giving grand
opening within the next three weeks, when
the entire grounds will be thrown open to
the public and an orchestra kept con-
stantly in attendance.

THE NEW THISTLE WHEEL

VIII Be Domiciied in the New OisIIausen
Building
Room No. AL of the new building will
be occupied by Mr.. George G. Seymour,
Southern California agent of the famous
Thistle wheel. At present the '96 model
of the wheel is in stock and the first car
load of new wheels is now on the road and
will be ready for delivery within the pres.
ent week. Mr.. seymour is we'll and favor
ably known to the business men of this
city, having successfully carried forward
important business undertakings here.
The Thistle wheel needs no introduction
to Southern California. 1t already has the
call upon the most discriminating buyers
of the coast, while fast men will have no
other. More races have been won upon
the Thistle in this part of the state than
upon any other wheel which has ev er been
introduced here. Nearly all the best records
OF 40 were made upon this famous flyer.
The '96 model will follow closely the lines
full and practicable is the keyiess
crank, which will be retained. No
bolt is required for the grip of
the seat post or handle bar in the steering
head, those features being supplanted by
more effective and neater devices in the
marked increase in the rake of the fork in
the new wheel. which adds somewhat to
the easy grace of the machine. The front
and rear sprockets are alike detachable
The changes in the frame are somewhat
conspicuous for '96, as is the case of ali
strictly high-grade wheels. The seat bar
and lower bar are each one and one-eighth
inches in diameter, while the top bar is of
one inch bore. Tue cone bearings of the
steering heads are finished flush with the
front bar, and not Hanged ouS as has been
the case heretofore. The new model will
be coi,,red AS desired by the purchaser.
Heretofore the Thistle has been better
known by it's yellow tint, perhaps, than
otherwise, but the increased dernand for
colored wheels has led all manufacturers
to supply any desired tint The Thistle is
the pioneer OF narrow tread wheels in the
world. and was the first high grade wheel
to reduce the standard of weight to it's
present limits. AS usual purchasers will
will have choice of tires and saddles,
Brooks saddles are furnished with the
wheels and the record of '96 pedals.

market several years and has demonstrated
its superiority to all competitors by re-

According to the Baltimore Sun of

The Election Contest.

There is very little new in the cleo
ton contest 10 report this week. except
that the Republicans are through ex.
amining their witnesses and the Dem.
ocrats will commence the taking OF
testimony ON Monday. Mr.. A. T..
Barnes was considered by the Repub-
licans their star witness. He made
oath that he had examined the books
from the several election districts and
found irregularities in some of them.
In st. Martins district a poll book
was not signed.
In Snow Hill district the signatures
OF the Judges Of Election were not at
tested by election clerks.
In Newark district instead of writ
ing out the number of votes cast for
each candidate the returns were in
figures.
In the Third District the number Of
votes cast was made in figures ard not
written out.
In Stockton District the ballot
clerks failed to witness the signatures
of the Judges.
As no claim has been made by the
Republicans that the vote at any of
the polling places in the county was
not properly counted or returned, this
testimony will not amount TO anything
as the contest will not be decided on
tlimsy technecalities. The fact that
some Of the election officials failed TO
get witnesses to their signatures does
not indicate any fraud, and al of the
officials are alive to swear to their sig
natures. Every voter in Worcester
county, irrespective of his political
views cannot help but see what des-
perate straights the Republicans are
put too when they resort to such ex-
cuses as these for contesting an cleo
ton.
