SUNSHINE DREW
10000 TO CONEY.
All Sorts Of People Took Advantage
OF Fine Day to Throns tks
Seaside Resort.

While the scheduled opening of Coney
Island is still days away. to all intenta
and purposes yesterday was the opening,
The bright sunshine for a few hours o.
the afternoon and the promise that
there would oe sunshine. which seemed
present from early morning, sent more
than 1000 persons to TIE Island.
In anticipation OF the coming, the
pavilions were open. The shows VITA
the 'Don't-Leave.Your Mother-Tom"
singers were doing n good business, as
were the palmists. the Weighing ma.
chimes. the merry-go-rounds, and a half
dozen of the largest and beet shows In
the pleasure resort.
The early cars hat went to the Island
carried the regulars, the crowd thai goes
there on Sunday to dance, and which
Is to be found when the snow Is on the
ground; the regular winter islander,
for whom the salt air has no terror and
whose Sunday has been spent there for
years. There was a fair ~sprinkling or
others in these cars. In the afternoon,
however. the rush set in and before
4 O'Clock the elevated and surface lines
| were packing the passengers in like sar-
dimes, and extra trains were put on to
accommodate the travel.
Old timers at the island, as they
gazed OF the great throng of men,
women and children, could not realize
that the season was not open. The only
thing lacking to lad one think it was
the Coney of a hot Sunday afternoon,
was the absence OF bathers. The bath
ing pavilions were about the only places
not open.
The crowd sat In the open air and
dined. and when night came the place
was lighted UP until 1t could be seen

this way the news was flashed all over
that Coney Island was doing business.
Until midnight there was a good-na-

resort were packed. For an early OPEN
