What few people remained in Richmond
yesterday, after the excursion sight

spent part of the day at one or the
other parks. Westhampton and Reser-
vcir Park We're particularly honored in
this respect, and a swirling, good ma
tured, laughing crowd kept both of
them pretty busy all day. Innocent
little dollieS had their respectable brains
slammed out continuously all day long.
the merry-go-rounds never stopped TOR
breath. the shooting galleries sounded
like one everlasting pop, the boats Were
busy all the time, and everything else
to do at both these resorts had their
hands full. AS it happened. however
Westhampton Park seemed to get the
best of it in crowds.
Never before have there been better
natured or better behaved crowds on
Fourth Of July than those of yester-
day. There was no disorder OF any
kind reported at either park: every
body seemed to be out merely to have a
good time and to cause as much NOISE
as is consistent with the usuages OF GOOD
behavior and these things they certainly
did When the Declaration of indie
pendence was written 1t never dreamed

up to everybody's satisfaction.
No special programme Of entertainment

closely into the report that a policeman

1t was said yesterday that Mrs. Frazer
had stated that the incident occurred
last April and that the man who spoke
to her had a Northern accent and he was
a tall man. because his voice was up
