CoIored People Have Park.

The colored people as a race are
decidedly initiative, and ever since
Bradford Square was opened as a
public park for white people they
have crayed a similar place where
they could eongregate for pleasure
and pastime on warm summer even
ings. They have secured small
plat Of ground near the old fair
grounds, in the northern section of
the city, and have fitted up a min
iature park. They have a pavilion.
or rather a dancing platform, and
dances are given on several evenings
of each week, the music being fur
nished by a colored band.

team crossed bats with the Aberdeen
hig school team in Aberdeen on

victory. The game resulted in a
score Of u to z, in favor of the Co

the points for the Aberdeen players.

CAR LINE WILL RUN TO SOUTH
ERN SECTION OF THE CITY
BY WAY OF THE MOBILE
AND OHIO DEPOT.
Park 20 be Estblished for COlOred
People at Old SandersOn Place.
The Line VIII Pass the
Fair Grounds.

Now that service on the street rail-
way has been inaugurated, people are
almost as anxious to know where and
when the line is to be extended as
they were to learn when the cars
would commence running. The Dis
patch learns from an authentic source
that the first extension of the line
will be made at an early date from
the southern terminus at the Mobile
and Ohio depot. The line will be ex-
tended down Sixth street, straight on
out to the Sanderson property, which
is owned by the Street Railway Com
pany, and which will be transformed
into a park for colored people. BY
making this extension the line will
pass right by the fair grounds and
will run within two blocks of Friend
ship Cemetery. The line will pass
the fair grounds on the east, and it
is supposed that the Fair Association
will open up an entrance on Sixth
street for the accommodation of pa
irons who go to the fair grounds via
the ST Get car line.
The work of improving Riverside
Park is progressing rapidly. The pa
vilion has been nearly completed, as
has the fence around the baseball
grounds, and the erection of a chop
house or cafe viii be commenced this
week. This cafe, which will be erect
ed near the pavilion, will be COM
modious and complete, and will be
in charge of a first-class caterer.
The work of stringing the trolley
wire at the park has been nearly
completed. and cars will probably
commence making the loop today. =
