AN IMMENSE THRONG

At Wheeling Park Last Night-The Casino
Was :FiIIodi TO Observation-Disclosures OF
Mr. Quarter.
The concluding feature Of the
first days entertainment of the
visitors was the dinner and ope-
ratio production at Wheeling Park
1t was frequently remarked during the
evening that the Wheeling wholesale
merchants had saved the best feature
until last.
Seldom has Wheeling Park con-
tanned a larger crowd than was as
sembled there last night-certainly
never before during an evening. Many
who did not avail themselves of the
opportunity to see the suburban cities
on the railroad excursion went out
to the park early in the afternoon.
AS early as four o'clock the Wheeling
and Elm Grove motors were crowded
with gentlemen and ladies wearing the
red badges which had been distributed
among the visitors. The crowd became
larger on each succeeding motor. At
$50 o'clock a special went out. The
seven o'clock train consisted of two
sections, and another special went out
at 100. All was crowded to their ca
pacity, but superintendent Weisger-
ber's arrangements for handling the
crowd were excellent. Fully 5000 peo-
pie were within the enclosure when
the curtain went up on the first act
Of 1892" and they were all taken
out without any serious delays.
The visitors divided their time while
waiting between the park proper and
the enclosure, and all were profuse
in their expressions Of admiration Of
the garden spot of the Ohio Valley"
The scenes during the serving Of sup
per beggar description. Tables were
arranged on the Casino porch, and in
the cafe down stairs, with a view to
economizing space and seating as many
persons as possible.
The dinner arrangements were in
charge of Mr.. E. B. Carney, and he was
assisted BY a large corps Of walters.
The service was excellent The menu
was prepared by Mr.. Carney, and it
embraced all the seasons deHcacies. In
spite Of the great facilities Of attend
ing to the wants of the visitors there
was q constant crush, and the walters
were kept busy. When the tables were
filled for the first time, Mr.. Hullihen
Quarter. President of the Chamber Of
Commerce, raped for order on the
Casino porch and delivered the fol-
lowing address of welcome:
"As President of the Chamber Of
Commerce and one Of the fraternity
of merchants. I extend to each Of you
a most cordial welcome. The sight OF
so many familiar faces and others
who have Joined the vast throng OF
the mercantile community is a most
pleasing one. and to those Of US who
recall the olden time when 1t was the
rule rather than the exception for
merchants 10 visit the market at least
twice a year. and frequently much

and the living p(tures, were splendid
and were very VIZ received. The
production was first class, and it was
a fitting finale to TN first days en-
tertainment-
The special platform built for the
Opera House orchestra was allowed to
remain, and it was here that wine and
punch were served. 1t is needless to
add that a thriving business" was
done at this stand. Many persons
returned on the eleven o'clock train,
consisting of two sections. The re-
mainder Of the crowd was brought in
on specials after the conclusion of the
performance in the Casino.

One disastrous inning gave the third

One disastrous inning gave the third
game Of the series to the visitors.
It was the first. Garvey was touch
ed up for four hits. but his support was
wretehed. Wetzel was first at bat and
was given four wide balls. Little Baby
Bunting just met the hall. and it rolled
over safe TO fret base. Flick singled
to right field and Donovan allowed the
ball to get past him. Wetzel and Ho-
gan tailed. and Flick rested on sec
ond. J. Riemau singled to left field,
and was forced ont at second on
Franks slow hit to Taylor. Greenwald
lifted the sphere over the fence, and
two more runs came in. J. Rieman's
hit in this inning should have been an
easy out. 1t was a fly back Of third
base. which both Miller and Shay went
after. and by one Of those stupid plays
frequently seen in ball games, allowed
it TO drop safely between them.
After the first inning Garvoy steadied
himself. and the feldeTS gave him eX-
Cellent support In the fifth inning

and was thrown out at the plate.
What proved TO be the winning run
was made by J. Riemou in the sixth,
when he lifted the ball over the left
field fence.
Wheeling hit Rieman hard in the
first three innings. and after that could
