The Park Amusement Company nave realized for some time that the slim attendance at tEe park was due to the stringency of the money mar ket and not as some outsiders have tried 10 convey, that the people of this city do not appreciate a park.
 After joint meeting of the stock holders of the Park Amusement Com pany and Citizens Light and Transit Company word was given out that on and after August any lady or child riding 70 the park would be presented with ticket at Twentieth avenue. This ticket is now accepted as cash
