WHITE CITY ID OPEN
 IN A BLAZE OF GLORY World of New Attractions Will Greet Pleasure
 Seekers.
THE GREAT KRISS KROSS
A $50, 900 Maze of Merri- ment That Will be an
 Astonisher.

at savin Rock will open in a burst of glory the like of which has never been seen in this state. Only recently has Manager Samuel H. Speck seen fit to 'flet on" about some of the many new attractions and entertainments which he has been working on all winter. The coming week will be one of the busiest on record in the way of construction, and nearly as many men will be em- ployed as in the year this metropolis of outdoor amusement was built.
 In all great open-air attraction work it is always a race against time, and it is pretty contest that is now under way under the watchful eye of the man who is a Speck in name, but an em- peror in the amusement catering world.
 Among the first of the novelties this season is the Kriss Kross, which has called for an outlay alone of $S0,0O0. It is the first attraction of its kind to be built in the world, and is owned by the Noyenta Amusement company, of which Mir Speck and his partner, Fred erick Darcy, are the heads. For in- stalling this wonderful device the pulp lie certainly owe Messrs. Darcy and speck great debt of gratitude. Con- tracts for its installation at Coney Island and other resorts throughout the country next season have already been signed, but the White City will have the only one in operation this year.
 It is difficult to give an adequate de- scription of the Kriss Kross. 1t is such a gigantic maze of merriment that one hardly knows where to begin If one can imagine thirty automobiles each filled with four persons, speeding sixty miles an hour, and while main taining this speed "Kriss Krossing" at breathless intervals, then a little idea of what this device is can be had.
 This colossal and health-giving and building amusement is the invention of a young German genius, Herman Hill who from the very start has directed its construction. Several doctors, nota- bly, Dr. Janeway, of New York, pro- nounce the opinion that as a health giver a ride on the Kriss Kross has all the advantages of dash through the country in regular machine without any of it's drawbacks.
 For this remarkably novel attraction there will be an entrance from the grove outside as well as from the in side of the White City. The building under which the Kriss Kross is oper- ated was built under the personal di- rection of Superintendent Rice and is the most substantial of it's kind on the shore. It will afford shelter for at least 5000 people and seat about 1000.
 There Is considerable talk about the lemon nowadays. Many people have had lemons handed to them the last winter in way of watered stocks, etc., but Manager Speck and Superintendent Rice have a "Lemon" for the patrons of the White City that will make every one forget every other lemon that was ever handed them. Manager Speck has appropriately or inappropriately in scribed this ingenius attraction as fol- lows: And 1t came to pass that when he entered the Garden of Love they handed him a Lemon" Whether the patrons get lemon or not is up to them. There's a world of fun in ''The Lemon" and it has cost $6,000 to build it.
 Another new affair, side-splitting at times and Interestingly mysterious at others, is Loves Voyage" an illusion ary expedition in an ocean greyhound which has been christened Cupid" It promises to be great hit with both young and old afflicted with that ever pleasing and ever troublesome feeling of Love"
 Not to be outdone by any one in looking after the delight of the chill dren, the management is to have fine merry -go-round right in the center of the spacious ice cream pavilion. This spot promises to be more popular than ever, and from it will be heard the splendid concerts of the Second Regi- ment band under the leadership of Frank Fichtl, who has again contract ed to furnish the same high-class music as last year.
 This year the roller skating rink will be surrounded by balcony seating 500 people, and Professor Wilson has al- ready engaged fancy skaters to give exhibitions.
 The free outdoor attractions which last year proved such great treat will be even more sensational than ever, if this is possible, and no ex- pense will be spared to get the great est acts on the road. The people by this time are well aware of Manager Speck's ability to do this.
 What may without the slightest ex- aggeration be termed a remarkable feature will be the silkworm exhibition by John Garbooshian and a party of raw-silk producers from Armenia. MT, Garbooshian will show from 10000 to 5O,0O0 worms, all producing the raw silk The worms will also be shown in their various stages of development and also as they feed upon the tender leaves of blossoming mulberry trees MT. Garbooshian is an expert In the culture of silkworms. He has had over twenty years experience and is quite linguist, speaking five languages Armenian, Greek, Arabian, Turkish and English.
