Yesterday was just the day TO draw
the thousands OF pleasure seekers n
Crescent Park. 1t was neither too mo-
Tor comfort, nor too cold for a sail
neAher having skies Indicative of rair
nor a sun burning with heat. II was
an ideal day and the excursionssts WHO
made Crescent Park their Mecca
could not be numbered. 1T was the
| biggest crowd OF the year at the IA
vorite Narragansett Bay pleasure
place. Perhaps IT would also be true 10
say that II was the best satisfied crowd
as well. Although the grounds were
black with people from noon TO night
there was NOT a complaint regarding
any feature, and the order could not
possibly have been better. for not a
disturbance took place, thereby bearing
out the reputation that Crescent P.sk
has for preserving the best order and
being the safest place for women and
children OF any OF the great resorts of
the country.
There were nuns)er of seasonable
additions to the regular dinner. which
was one OF the best served at the park
this year. although that is saying a
great deal. All the dining halls were
occupied several times and the walters
were Kept busy for many hours. Es-
pe<ial attention was pad yesterday TO
the o'clock bake, which was parti-
culariy well patronized and received
the highest words OF praise from every
body who partook Of n.
The crowds that attended the two
principal entertainmentSo the grounds
were large from morning until night.

productions by the cineograph. which is

hlppOdrome enclosure at every per-
formance. Both these attractions which
have proved so popular Will be con-
tlnued afternoon ana evening this
week. the last performance OF each be-
ing given on the arrival OF the evening
boat leaving Providence AT s O'Clock.
The chutes were crowded. the scores
Df leased attractions had their need of
and the bathing beach had
more than the usual number Of bathers.
'or the water was delightful.
ROCKY POINT.
1t Is doubtful IL Manager Harrington |
will ever have a bigger day at Rocky |
Point than he had yesterday. and there
we're just thousands upon thousands of
people at his popular resort. 1t was
certainly the banner Sunday OF the
'eason, the people coming from every
direction and by every conceivable
means of transportation. The attend
