ion at 14th street and Park road.
couple of years ago The Star originated
the idea of giving an outing and the best
of amusement TO be had to its thousands
OF readers and at that time there was
organized one of the biggest picnics that
the popular resort, Luna Park. ever has
seen. Now a similar plan Is to be fol-
lowed with the indoor pleasure ground.

Sunday. March 6. nd all that VIII oe
necessary to gain admission to the MIG
way will be TO cut out the coupon ana
present II to the man at the entrance to
the pavilion. One coupon will be printed
in each Sunday paper, and each coupon
will entitle one person to free admission.
Once inside the doors of the Midway ana
everything is free for the mere exertloh
of taking it. so this coupon gift really
amounts to a whole evening of pleasure,
and all of the coupon bearers will be the
guests of The Star.

The coupons will be received as tickets
at the Midway any day or evening next
week between Monday and Friday. In
other words, The Stars party will extend
over five days and nights. and 1t 10 ex-
pected every one OF the readers OF the

There will be no limit on the number
of times any one reader or any group OF

easily transferable. and any enthusiastic
Midway patron may collect tcket coupons

The ordinary admission to the Midway
costs % cents, all of the anusements

more to its purchaser.
