Not Fear the Hope Land Co.

thah fortnight ago TO the effect that

part OF the public generally. not only

Rhode Island. but the thousands OF
people wdlo are interested I'm the great
shore resort known as Crescent Park,
| who feel themselves TO be vitally con-
cerned In any movements which might

| The announcement was to the effect
| mat the company spoken OF had been
| formed by MIR. Fred Dexter of Paw

| Bullock's Ponit farm land and would
| place 10 upon the market under certain
conditions and reservations, which have
nothing to do with this particular story.
Mr. George Il. Boyden, who claims sole

Crescent Park, refused at the time OF
the announcement TO say more for pub
Ecation than that he held the land up-
der a lease and should look out for his
rights. Yesterday. however, he con-
sented To state a little more i'm detail
the conditions existing as they appear
