doubtedly be big crowd at each Of the
two performances on Sunday, and those
who wish to see II will have 10 get TO
the grounds pretty early.
Everyone In Rhode Island knows that at
Crescent Park are daily served the
famous Lewis shore dinners, and while

SPECTACULAR BLAZE.
Assembly Hall al Palace Gardens Destroyed
by Fire.

A red glare III up the sky below Paw
tuxet last night and drew the attention
OF hundreds OF people I'm that suburb and
the surrounding villages between 10 and
IL o'clock. number OF the persons on
the grounds at Rhodes on the Pawtuxet
saw the blaze and following the glare
found that Il was at Palace Gardens. just
below Lakewood.
The building destroyed was In the CEN
tre OF the handsome grounds and was
used as n pool room and for occasional
dancing parties. 1t was nearly new, con-
tanning n pool table and a piano and as
far as can be learned was not used yes
terday. although two department store
baseball teams were on the big field till
dark.
In the early part Of the day Manager
Charles Hull was on the grounds, but
he was evidently not informed OF the
blaze last night, for he was not on the
grounds. which were splendidly illumi-
mated and quite warm for about an hour.
The origin OF the blaze is not known,
but Sylvester 8. Upham, who lives on
the Baker plat almost opposite the
grounds. states that his wife was picking
over huckleberries about 10 o'clock In the
evening when she noticed the blaze Il
was on the sofa and she called me and
when we went out the building was all
ahlaze" he said.
The wind was light and the thick grove
prevented the sparks from travelling so
as to catch other places. but the grand
old trees close 20 the building were badly
scorched and some OF them were killed
a similar structure was destroyed by
fire I'm January, 1908. and this structure
which Is much larger was completed last
spring. II was frame building built on
on brick piers with a large cellar and ~
the fire started beneath the piazza II had
an excellent draught and the work of de-
struction was complete In an hour.
The damage reported is about $4,000.
A possible clue 10 the origin of the nre
r. reported by some members OF the big
crowd that hurried over the two miles
OF country road 10 the scene.
They say they saw -four badly scared
young people hurry across the road as
they were approaching the grounds and
disappear I'm the underground Of Baker
plat. and one OF the girls appeared TO be
crying with fright and was roughly as
sured that there was no danger by her
companion.
Their course directly away from the
place looked suspicious TO the young men
and attracted considerable comment from
them.
