The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1907-07-08

All Of the shore resorts did thriv-
ing business yesterday. The number
OF pleasure seekers, while IL did not
equal that Of Independence day. was
much greater than that OF the average
Sunday,
The weather was very good and the
temperature was not high enough TO
make IL uncomfortable. The boats
carried large crowds and the sail to
the various resorts proved a pleasant
one. The cars were crowded. but the
large number OF them provided good
transportation.
The caterers at the shore places
were kept busy. many thousands par
taking of the shore dinners. Many
took dip in the water, but IL was
a little too breezy for a large num-
ber who would have otherwise gone in
bathing.
ROCKY POINT.
There were several big drawing
cards at Col. Harringtons Rocky
Point yesterday. The ball game was
the biggest and one OF the largest
crowds OF the season saw Providence
defeat the Jersey City team.
There was an excellent bill in the
Forest Casino. II was headed by Cor
man. Proctor and German. the "Kiltie
Trio" who furnished first class enter
tainment. Shorty and Lillian De Witt
Mirthful Midget and Merry Maid"

ing feats Of equilibrium. Sadie Nc
Donald proved an accomplished singer,
as did also Clara Adams. Fanny DON
nelly gave very funny monologue.
The valdons, aerial cyclists and tight
wire artists, thrilled the audience with
their marvellous feats on the wire.
The walters were kept busy serving
Gardner's shore dinners, which were
IN great demand. The large and cool
dining hall overlooking the bay proved
an enjoyable place to eat them.
Band concerts were given by the
Imperial band, as the large crowds
roamed about the resort and enjoyed
the many attractions there. The Rus
sian toboggan, ferris wheel, circle
swing. partisan carousal. goat wagons

fractions there were we'll patronized

CRESCENT PARK.
Col. Harrington's Crescent Park was
fairly alive with people yesterday all
good-natured and found plenty to amuse
and entertain them during the day and
other than July 4 was the biggest day OF
the season. One OF the leading attrac-
tions appeared to be Lewis famous clam
bakes, especially that known as the 6
o'clock bake. which was served from
o'clock in the afternoon until long after
o'clock In the evening, and I'm fact all OF
the attractions were literally patronized.

also very much enjoyed. The following
