provide a great variety OF novel and
interesting amusement features calcu-
lated to please those of all ages and
conditions. In a word, Crescent Park
has been rendered more than ever the
peoples paradise of pleasure" as
Manager Boyden has alliteratively de-
scribed his famous resort. Its advan-
tageous location above the river level
gives 1t always the benefit, ,of a good
breeze when there Is any air stirring
at all, its cool walks and shady retreats
and inviting groves its attractive and
splendidly fitted buildings and the pie
tureSque view of the river il comma nds
all contribute to render Crescent Park
the favorite resort WIN the great
masses Of the people; and the thou
sands of dollars that have been ex-
pended this esaSOn for improvements
OF various kinds have added much to its
charms.
An important feature of the manage
ment of the park is the fact that all it's
refreshment stands, dining halls and
cafes are supplied with fresh vegeta-
bes gilt-edge butter and rich Jersey
milk and cream from the Crescent Park
faTms. while all the bread. cake and
pastry are made i'm its own bakery,
all the soda water, syrups and soda for
fountains and all the aerated waters
used on the grounds are made In it's own
establishment, while the candies and
ice cream are likewise manufactured
there by the most expert confectioners.
This, with a harder always stocked with
the very best that the market affords
and all the delicacies OF the season, to-
gether with the employment OF the :est
trained walters, enables Crescent Park
easily 10 maintain the reputation made
years ago and never departed from by
the pioneer in the shore resort busi
ness onNarrragansett Bay. In addition
to the regular shore dinner. the merits
OF which are so well known far and
wide, private dinner parties are served
from larder containing everything
that the most exaoting epcure can
think of and in a style equal TO that |
of metropolitan hotels at all times. |
while at the hotel cafe meals are served |
n la carte with menu not surpassed |
by those Of the leading city obstetrics. |

as the advertisement announces. that |
patrons may fird plenty to eat from a
5-cent lunch TO a s. feast at ali times |
during the day and evening; and Il has /
come TO be quite the thing for those
who have friends visiting them TO en-
tertain them with the delightful sail |
down the bay and n dinner at Crescent |
Park, while not a day passes when from |
dinner parties are not served at the
park.
The alterations and equipment OF the
