SUNDAY DOWN THE BAY.

Manager Harrington or ROCKY t'Olnt
has reason to be pleased, for the Subur-
ban trolley cars are running directly into
the Rocky Point grounds, and passengers
are landed at the foot OF the chutes.
This will entirely do away with all
crowding and pushing, and patrons or
Rocky Point with most complete troll
ley car and steamboat service will be en-
abled to enter and leave the grounds
without any inconvenience.
Trolley cars leave Exchange place for
Rocky Point via Broad street every 30
minutes. three minutes and 30 minutes
past the hour until 1908 p. m, and the
last car leaves Rocky roint at III p. m.
The road is double tracked the entire
length. making 1t safe and speedy.
Nothing is being left undone for tho
comfort and welfare of the visitors to
Rocky Point, and those who have sam
pied one of Col. Harrington's shore dim
rers this season speak of them in the
highest praise. Mr.. Harrington intends 70
maintain this standard for the balance
of the season. and the cookery and the
service will always be of tile best.
There is amusement for everybody. old
and young. at Rocky Point, and the vau-
deville performance TO be given on sun
day next and all the week. I'm the Forest
Casino. is without question one OF the
very strongest ever given In summer
theatre. Among the leading artists en-
gagged are the following:
The Powers Brothers. Florence Wal
colt, Geneva Ardell. Kanchi and Torrey,
Toledo Grace. Nellie Seymour. Marie Hy-
land. Ella Morris. the Mayo Sisters, Jones
and Sutton, the Seyons, the Tanneanv,
Height and Dean, and a number Of oth-
ers.
On Sunday afternoon, the famous
Providence and Springfield teams OF the
eastern league will play a rafting game
of ball on the big bal. field <he grand
stands are spacious. sheltered and per-
fectlN safe.
Continuous concerts will be given every
day by the famous National band, under
the direction OF William II. White. and
every afternoon and evening Messrs.
Barbour, Padley. Raussie and Barbour.
the talented soloists of the band will be
heard.
All the great and popular amusement
features all over the grounds, including
the Shoot the Chutes, VIII be in full
operation, and Col. Harrington guaran-
tees that everything will be conducted In
an orderly, clean. safe and legitimate
manner. sst
A new feature at Rocky Point is the
summer garden IN the Forest circle and
IL promises to be very popular. Rocky
Point Is essentially a family resort. and
1t is open every day and every evening.
Col. s. s. Atwell has made ample ar
rangements to entertain an immense
number OF guests at Fields Point tomor-
row, and he will serve one Of his standard
shore dinners. The reputation gained by
Col. Atwell is most fully deserved. and
his famous 5 o'clock bakes are daily be-
coming more and more popular. Boats
leave the Dyer street wharf for Fields
Point every half hour. and Washington
Park cars land passengers only a short
distance from the dining halls.

short frock coat of black broadcloth. He
allowed himself to be eased of his hat and
umbrella and then passed through the
gorgeous hall to the rosewood billiard room
at the back. There he found his guest,
