Last Sunday. the weather which hal
been playing many shabby tricks o.
late. decided 10 be amiable. and $50.
900 people took advantage of its mood
and visited Coney Island TO note what
new attractions had been added to
New York's playground. Luna Park
will have twenty-five shows this seas
on. and the one that is expected to be
most popular is called Might and
Morning. Ii is vastly different from
all other forms of amusement that
have borne that name. Its patrons
first get into a coffin that descends into
hell. En- route many horrors are seen
until the River of Lost Souls" is
reached Then they are suddenly in
PRODUCED into a chamber ablaze with
myriads of colored lights and beauti-
full flowers and the grewsome feeling
produced by the first part of the jour-
ney is dissipated. Other additions to
Luna Park are The Mollycoddle,
THE Heller Shelter Scalator," The
Ticker" and the big spectacle, THE
Days of Forty-Nine." What is expect
ed to prove the great feature of Dream
land is The Orient" in which the.
hanging gardens of Babylon will be
represented and the feast of Bel
shazzar given. One hundred and fifty /
people will take part in ii in addition
to a troupe of acrobats from the far
East. Bostock will have a white ele-
phant this season, and Steeplechase
Park has THE Human Roulette
Wheel which will prove as fasci-
hating as the one on which money is
'taked. The formal opening of Coney
sland will take place on May II.
