The buildings will be rather Of a Moorish

claimed the many turreted towers of King

the buildings will be outlined IN these

seen from any open space in Washington,
Alexandria or any elevation in the sur
rounding country as a veritable fairyland.
No liquor will be sold on the grounds,

PARK ON LARGE SCALE
$3.50, 900 TO BE EXPENDED AT
FOUR MILE RUN.

An amusement park. which. 1t IS said. will
be on the scale of the great show places of
Coney Island. Is to be built by the Ingersoll
Company OF Pittsburg at -Four Mile Run
on the Washington, Alexandria and Mt
Vernon railroad for syndicate OF local In
vestors, which includes the stockholders of
the railway company. The park will be
known as the Washington Luna Park The
site Is on a bluff on the Virginia bank of
the Potomac and contains forty acres. ten
(which will be covered by buildings and
the balance devoted to picnic grove. It is
proposed to sperld $4,000 In building the
resort, and IL the present plans are carried
out 1t will exceed In magnitude any other
amusement park in the country.
One of the features proposed for the new
park is great open air hippodrome, having
Il seating capacity of 5000. with a stage
80 by 100 feet, large enough to accommo-
date spectacular ballets and band stand
In which will be heard. from week to week,
the great musical organizations of the
country.
The site of the park at Four Mile Run is
regarded as a most excellent choice, as 1t
oyerlooks the Potomac for miles, and gives
a good view of the cities of Washington and
Alexandria. So high Is the elevation of
ground that from many places the base OF
the Washington monument can be seen.
