CRESCENT PARK

Crescent Park has begun to boom again
for the summer season and the manage
ment has taken pains to prepare at least
100 new amusements for the benefit OF
that ever-growing horde OF amusement
seekers who find just what they want
there. The chief features OF the park
may be seen by those who wish to take
the pleasant ride TO the place tomorrow.

In earnest.
Lewis dinners will appeal to many,
while the music furnished by the Banda
Napoli will appeal to still others The
fact that the park Is not too far from the
city and that IL can be reached both by
trolley and by boat with no fatigue at
all will make IL, as IL has ever been. one
of the chief objective points for all those
who wish to make an outing day OF Sun
day and yet do not wish to get very far
away from the city.
In addition to the dinners the other at
fractions will be going full blast. from
the merry-g -go-round TO the topsy-turvy
house. Those who wish can also take n
dip in the bay there and for a place so
near the city there is none to compare
with II in qualities that those who love
a dip and yet cannot go to the Atlantic
for II enjoy.
All down the street there will be fea-
lures that will prove interesting as well
as new and the outdoor theatre will add
an attraction that will be appealing in
itself.
