have a great old time. at some ones else
expense.
Girls there were. of various ages. with
and without escorts Some of these girls
had evidently been on a good time more
than once and were ready for another al
any time. They were out on the pick
up" as one remarked when she met one
of her acquaintances.
All the games and amusements were In
full swing and were doing a fair business
The News man passed by the Wild
Rose" booth during the middle OF the at
ternoon and saw one of the assistants
and a large slice OF steak. BY listening
for a minute the barker" was heard to
say that the meat would be fed to wild
Rose"
FED ON CHOwDER
To ascertain the truth of this state
ment the News man remained around
until the time for supper came. Entering
the booth. be was surprised TO see that
the feed was not of raw meat, but
plate of Boyden's chowder.
Later In the evening the same slice of
meat was soon to be fed to Rose accord
ing to the manager. tg
GAMBLING ON HORSES.
Down near the auditorium there was a
''race-track' game which was in con-
slant operation during the day. AS soon
as the crowd began TO leave the man in
charge announced that the game was not
a gambling one. but a legitimate sport,
claiming that he represented Stearns,
Swartz & Co., of New York.
He was positive that each horse could
win, although No. won the most of the
money and No. i hardly ever got any
thing.
Directly opposite were the dolls. where
different presents were given for the diff
ferent amounts Knocked down. In spite
of the fact that you paid five cents to
throw the balls and got a present worth
about one-half that amount at the most.
the man in charge announced You beat
me this time" ~
OF course II you knock down boards
representing IS you get gold watch
worth IS. so they say. But IL has been
some time since any one got a watch.
Usually the person gets 25 and rims
worth about one cent. Browns audito-
rum was In full swing. but was not very
well patronized. A very small crowd was
In attendance at each performance.
HOTEL NOT OPENED.
The Crescent Palace hotel. the new
building, where liquor is to be sold. ac-
cording to the employees of Boyden. is
practically completed, but was not
opened yesterday.
The representative of the News took a
walk over the board walk to this build
ing about = o'clock. The watchman In
charge said that nobody knew what the
building would be until 1t was opened"
He also said he could not tell when it
would be opened to the public.
MANY LIE ON THE GROUND.
While in that vicinity the reporter took
stroll through the wood as far as, the
railroad track and saw many persons
lying around.
He could not say whether they were
drunk or not, as IL was dark and he did
not linger I'm the vicinity very long.
They're doing a good business over
there remarked the coiored man In charge
of the bridge, as the representative came
back. What he meant we will leave 1t To
the readers to guess.
NO GAMBLING SIGNS
Already the good done by the News
manfests itself for all over the grounds
could be seen large placarus announcing
that NO gambling is allowed on the
grounds There were also several cards
warning people TO Look out for your
watches and pocketbooks. when boarding
the cars i'm a crowd"
In one place five $50 gold pieces were
offered as reward for the capture of
anyone attempting TO pick pockets. IL
Is safe TO say that this money will remain
up all the season for even the special
policemen seem unable to capture these
gentry, who swoop upon this resort ne
riodically. get a good haul and then work
some other cities until the dust has blown
over here and then ''swoop" again.
incidentally, speaking OF special police.
there were several extra men upon the
grounds yesterday. This is "A new move
ment on the part OF Boyden and was
caused doubtlessly by the News inyesti-
CATION conducted last week
ABATEMENT DEMANDED.
All over the grounds discussions were

at present, so he could get his license
and start selling liquor in his new nlace

and that the parents OF the girl were
