unfortunate that there has been an abso-

By Decoration day, when Brandy
wine Springs Park will be opened for
the season, all the burned portion will
hare been rebuilt and the popular
resort will be more attractive and
have a larger number OF amusements
than ever. Manager Richard W.. Crook
Is busy planning for improvements
and the rebuilding of that part of the
park which was destroyed by ire ltss
A August.
One OF the new buildings will be a
restaurant and ice cream saloon, with
a roof garden, the plans for which are
nov being prepared. This structure
is TO be In Japanese style and will, no
doubt, ke very attractive. Mr.. Crook
had thought of building the restaurant
on the old site, but this plan will
likely be changed and it will probably
be erected where the ice cream parlor
now stands. If this ia done the
restaurant will be on the first floor
and the ice cream parlor on the floor
above, which is 10 be a roof garden.
The change in the location of the
restaurant will give more room for
other amuaements along the boardwalk
The work OF rebuilding the scenic
railway Is progressing. All the sup
ports are now up and the structure
will be finished in few weeks.
In conjunction with the b. & o.
Railroad Co., the Peoples Railway
90. will build a 81, 200 train shed At
the entrance TO the park. Plans are
now being prepared for the shed,
which will be erected between the
tracks Of thu trolley company and
those of the b. & o. There is also
talk Of developing the lower end OF
the park from the b. & o. tracks to
the creek, and calling it Little Coney
Island.
Manager Crook, several days ago,
called the ooncessionaTies at ths park
to his Office and suggested thai they
form an association, and in that way
take some work oil his hands. This
was done and Mr.. Crook was elected
