Col. SimOns Has Spared No En-
pense i'm Improving His
Park.
Free Concerts Sunday After
moons by the Louisville
City. Band.
ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHILDREN

Col. Lum Simons has fitted up River
view Park better than ever for the COM
ing season, which opens there tomorrow,
and expects to have more picnics at his
place than any park in the city. River
view Park is situated on the crest of
beautiful knoll overlooking the Ohio
river. 1t gives one an enchanting view
of the majestic stream that winds its way
past amid the leafy shadows that play
about its banks If there is any breeze
to be found on hot summers day any,
where around Louisville Riverview Park
is the place to find it.
Besides the view of the river the park
contains. natural woods, and in LAYING
it out Col. Simons has done nothing to
destroy the natural beauty of the scenery,
but he has rather assisted nature in max
ing the scene beautiful by laying out
delightful walks and placing budding
plants and flowers almost everywhere.
For the children there are swings, see
saws and other childish ainusements.
while the young people can amuse them
selves by devoting part of their time of
recreation to Queen Terpsichore in the
large and handsome dancing pavilion.
There are lovers hooks galore, and the
older people can find numerous retreats
and comfortable seats in the shade where
they can sit to read, converse or what
ever pleases them best.
Last year more than three dozen church
and Sunday-school picnics were held in
Riverview Park, and this season bids fair
to see double that number. Col. Simons
has spared no expense to make River
view popular resort. No improper
characters will be allowed in the park at
any time, as Col. Simons and his family
reside there, which is sufficient guaran-
tee that it is homelike place.
Vast crowds will take advantage of the
opening tomorrow to visit Riverview,
as the street car facilities are adequate
and transfers can be had to all parts of
the city. A pleasing Sunday feature will
be the free concerts rendered by the
Louisville City Band, under the leader
ship OF Prof. Morbach, which has been
secured for the season.
A trip to this pleasant resort will we'll
repay any one for the time lost, and the
Kentucky Irish American takes pleasure
in commencing Rivervlew Park to its
thousands of readers.
