THERE WILL BE ESPECIAL ATTRAC-
TIoNs AT FAIRvIEw.
Band Concerts i'm Ike City Parks In
the Afternoon-Other
Features.


Great crowds are expected at Fairview
Park to-day, the occasion being the in
auguration of the regular amusement sea-
son at that popular place. The great high
diving horses, King and Queen, have been
secured for week and will give two per-
formances, one at this afternoon and an
other at 9 o'clock tonight The sensa-
tional act will be repeated twice daily at
the same hours all week. King and Queen
are familiar to Indianapolis people, having
played" 10 thousands during their en-
gagements last summer at both Fairview
and Broad Ripple. The animals are not
merely trained to a wonderful degree of
skill. but are also exceptionally beautiful
in appearance. being almost spotless white
and of graceful bearing. so that their per-
Torrance is of more than ordinary inter
est and entertainment. The dive is made
from the top of a platform forty feet high
into an immense tank of water on the
ground beneath. At night there is an
added effect of the picturesque in the
myriad of incandescents that illuminate the
exhibition.
The management of Fairview has ar
ranged for still another feature this week
Indianapolis Military Band Tuesday and
Friday nights. The programmes will begin
promptly at o'clock each evening.
FairView looks much better than ii did
on opening day. two Sundays ago. At that
time the plants had been set OUT only a
day or two previously, and the large flower
beds were not masses of floral beauty as
they are at present. The frequent showers
of the past week have brought the grass
to the point of luxuriance, and all the
other natural attractions of the famous
pleasure grounds have been enhanced.
The restaurant pavilion has always been
a center of interest at Fairview but never
to such an extent as the present season
The new managers, Nelson J. HYDE ana
John June, have brought their years OF ex-
perience in catering TO bear upon the Fair
view restaurant, with the result that ITS
cuisine and service can scarcely be sur
passed by any of the downtown eating
places. IT,
