EASTER EGG HUNT AT GREEN
WOOD PARK.

advantage of the ideal day offered last
Saturday and thronged Greenwood |
Park as never before in an Easter egg
hunt Urchins from every section of !
the city, all filled with expectancy and !
overjoyed at the first golden oppor-
tunity that had been represented by
the return of balmy spring, were there |
They climbed the hills; they rolled !
down them again; they waded bare |
foot in the sparkling water that bub- !
bles out of the earth and flows from
some half a dozen springs, coming to-
gether making a small creek of clear,
alluring water; they roamed the for
ty acres leaving no spot of it I'M
tramped they took possession of the
clubhouse; they had charge of the
amusement hall; they captured the
skating-rink; they were monarchs over
all they surveyed, these children at
Greenwood last Saturday. The egg
hunt was not scheduled to begin UNI
til 2;90, but as early as IL o'clock the
| Greenwood Park cars and the Leba-
non pike leading to the park were
filled with hundreds of children eager
to reach the much-loved spot before
the time set for the egg hunt. Rev.
Taylor, with his several lieutenants,
&. had been careful to secret these sew
eral hundred eggs from one end Of the
forty-acre park to the other. The
children were all lined up, given rules
of how to play, and after each boy
and girl had promised to work fairly
and abide the consequences, the order
to hunt was given.
They started out running, jumping,
falling, scampering in every direction;
some lucky, some unlucky, some find
ing one egg, some score of eggs.
Now and then you could see a child
who had found no eggs at all. There
were more presents this year than
ever The golden egg was the object
of each child's search. Next came the
silver then the purple egg. The gold
egg brought $500 in gold; the silver,
$3.50; and the purple, $100. The
prizes that were given out for the
other eggs were hats, bonnets, shoes,
and even a Negro doll The following
