AT LINCOLN PARK.
Vaudeville at Rustic Theatsr.

The crowds at Lincoln park are in- creasing Wednesday afternoon and evening the cars carried down several hundred people from Norwich, bound for cool outing at this pretty little pleasure spot in the country, and it is noticed that not few people from points between Hallville and Westerly hay heard about the attractions at Lincoln park, and make it practice to take in the bill at the Rustic theater as often as possible.
 The Phillips Sisters continue to de- light with their artistic dancing and sweet singing, while Miss Corbetts character changes are unique and pretty. as well as correctly costumed. Lewis and Harr in their darkey dia- feet and old plantation songs make new friends daily, and William Cahiif can make anybody laugh uproariously bv his Irish jokes and stories, which are followed by couple of well ren- dered songs. Hawley and Alcott in "Just Married a Week" are prime en- tertainers. and their act is a taking close to an altogether agreeable and s1.isfactury programme. This weeks bill is one that suits everybody.
 Prof. Baker and his orchestral asso- ciates are on the job afternoon and evening, and the dancing pavilion grows daily in popularity. The floor is particularly good, and the young folks, with now and then couple that have left real actual youth behind, enjoy 1t hugely The 245 car Iron. the sduare is in time for the afternoon and the 7.45 for the evening perform A'r1ce. s
