The Animals Are Coming Dat
of Winter Quarters.
Tulips Are Coming Forth and All the
shrubs and Flowers Are Get
ting Ready for visitors.

During the past two weeks workmen
have been engaged in clearing up and
preparing tie grounds of Riverton Park
for the approaching summer season. The
snow has disappeared from sight, and the
tulips and other hardy shrubs and plants
have been found by the gardeners to be
in good condition and ready with the adj
yanoing season to come into full bloom.
The flower plots and shrubbery growth
are receiving the attention of the garden
ers and every thing gives promise of the
usual beautiful appearance about the park
as the season advances.
The animals in the geological garden
have been released from their winter
quarters and are now allow wed the freedom
of their out of door pens. The animals
have stood the winter well, and are look
ing well.
The elk which was put into the park
three years ago shed its nntlers recently,
and manager Smith OF the casino has
them, and will probably have them
antlers weighed "a pounds this year, while
those of last year weighed about II

The park casino has been a popular re-
sort for parties during the past few
months, and manager Smith and his
corps of efficient waitresses have been
kept busy by the demands of patrons
Clubs and individuals desiring to enter
tain party of friends have found River

During the past three weeks alone there
have been entertained 20 parties. ranging
from six to "A hundred persons, and parties
are to be entertained every evening for
the next three weeks. The entertainment
season at the rustic theatre is to COM

doubtless be in full summer season attire.
