Quite a Number Go Down to Investigate What is Being
 Done in New Amuse- ments.
NEW WHITE CITY FEATURE
S. H. Speck to Put Up Sensational Spectacular Noyelty-Peel to
 Start His "Tickler'' Soon.

Yesterday, in spite of the threaten ing weather, there was big crowd at Savin Rock for Sunday outing and to see what was doing in the line of new things. Next Sunday, if the weather Is fair, and warm, one or two amusements will open.
 There is always the greatest of in terest each spring in what is planned for New Haven's great amusement re- sort. Manager $. H. Speck of the White City has been in town for the past three days, and yesterday di- vulged some of his plans for the sum mer. In the first place, as has all ready been said in this paper, the White City will be open to the public generally without any admission fee this summer. One of the big new shows at the White City will be Mia gara Falls an original and spectacu- lar sensation. The falls will be con- structed on the site formerly occupied by Hales tours, which will be torn down at once.
 MT. Speck announces that a new and more substantial foundation of tons and tons of cement is being put in under the Kriss- Kross, which is at the west side of the park. The foun- dation Is costly and tedious work, but 1t is said that 1t will amply repay for all the trouble since the Kriss- Kross will be greatly improved by 1t.
 ' Probably one of the best carousals at the rock will be that to be con- structed by the Murphy Brothers of Brooklyn for the coming season. It will be placed in a pavilion opposite the Sea View hotel and will be fitted with every known amusement device that Is popular, no matter what the cost D <
 |i. Yale B. Bishop, who last year man. aged the splendid Colonade restau- rant so successfully. will again run that popula7 eating piece. Ms. Blshor has announced that he has leased the Pier restaurant, which he will run too, , The Pier restaurant is that which has been run for many seasons by Mir. Wilcox, and which has become famous all over the state for it's din ners.
 William Peel, who was formerly the manager of Hale's Tours in the White City, was at the Rocx yesterday. MT Peel was looking over the site for his great Tickler to be constructed where the Figure S" has been. The latter structure is to be similar in construc ton to the one which was so popular at Luna Park, Coney Island, last sum. mer. It is constructed on the princi- pie of the game of bagatele, where 8 marble or pool ball is sent rolling dowr between number of pegs against which it hits and Is sent in every di. rection. The Ticker is to be sort of human bagatelle. tne amusement hunter being placed in a sort of tub which takes the place of the ball and makes it's precarious way down big incline
 Down on the rocks beyond the grove from which the place gets it's name Frank Fisher has arranged for the erection of a number of bath houses Mir. Fisher has taken over that sectior of Savin Rock and will develop it. The location will be unexcelled as a bathe- ing place. The water is much cleaner and the beach much better adapted for bathing facilities than some other places along the west shore.
 Much attention has been drawn to a lunch stand which is being erected b. MT Wilcox on Beach street in front of his house there The view will ob- struct in some degree the hitherto un- obstructed view along the lawns 1T front of the many residences at tha' locality. Its building simply shows tn, steady advance of Savin Rock as 2 summer amusement center. Land k getting more and more valuable ant more and more In demand with every season.
