The LAST
SUNDAY
DOWN RIVER

Yesterday served 10 put the finishing
touches on the seasons records at the
shore resorts. Labor day was the last
''big'' day down river. but the amusement
centres kept open for business throughout
last week and yesterday catered to a
liberal patronage for the last time this
year The shut down will not be COM
plete for some weeks yet, shore dinners
will continue TO be served at few OF the
resorts but the various amusement de-
vices. the chutes and toboggans. the
merry-go-rounds, etc. did their last turns
yesterday.
The weather was propitious and the
sultriness OF the early afternoon served
70 settle the hash" OF many doubtful
person. The cars and boats were crowded
and everywhere was the hustle and mild
confusion OF a summer Sunday.
At Rocky Point and Crescent Park the
crowds were OF good size and the various
sensa ational attractions did rushing bust
ness during the day and evening. At the
latter resort Miss Sadie Knowlton. OF
bicycle down the-chutes fame. took the
trip down the slippery track In heavy
barrel. the same one In which Bobby
Leach went through the Niagara rapids
This feat served to attract a great crowd
20 Crescent Park making yesterday one
If the banner days OF the season there.
II was the last day OF the season at
Fields Point and Col. Atwell fed an un-
usually large number OF persons. The
season at Fields Point has been remark
ably successful and the popularity of the
famous bakes was never greater than
during the past summer.
The ocean sails 10 Block Island and on
20 Montauk Point were we'll patrOnized
and the trip 10 Seaconnet was popular
with the pleasure seekers.
The closing concerts OF tho season were
given at Roger Williams park and the
crowds. both afternoon and evening. were
large and appreciative. The additional
feature, the singing OF the Misses Bohee
and Hyer. served 10 attract an unusual
attendance.
The season just passing has easily been
the finest ever experienced by the various
resorts hereab bouts The suburban trolley
service Is largely responsible for the
marked increase in the patronage at the
outlying amusement centres but the
great Improvement in the places them
ssves Is. OF course, accountable 10 a great
extent.
During the winter ahead enterprising
managers will scheme and devise how TO
better serve and entertain the public. and
when next summer arrives there will
doubtless be a marked advance in all
directions over present conditions. Just
what IL all will lead to Is a most inter-
esting question which only the progress
OF years will servo TO answer
