Luna Park.


Luna Park will have its formal grand
opening OF the summer season to-day.
The park was informally opened a week
ago. and notwithstanding its informaIity
great crowds have since nightly passed
through the gates and enjoyed the many
and varied forms Of amusement provided.
Luna Park Is undoubtedly one Of the
most popular and beautiful summer re-
sorts on the Potomac, and its easy ac-
cess from Washington. being but fifteen
minutes ride on the electric railway, Is
an added inducement TO visit 1t for a day
or an evenings outing.
The park Is indeed bigger and greater
than ever this year. and many attractive
amusement features have been added to
II since last summer. A trip around the
Great Divide in one Of the comfortable
and luxurious cars is a genuine delight.
Another Of the principal attractions Is a
trip on the Panama Canal" The aerial
swing. the carousel. the cave Of the
winds, the shoot-the-chutes,, which Is
the largest one in this country, are all
exceedingly popular with the merry
throngs. The box-ball alley Is another
popular form Of diversion. There are
some thirty-odd other forms of amuse-
ment provided by the park management
this year.

Glen Echo Park will auspiciously usher
In the second week Of its season to-day
with another Of the special series Of Sun
day concerts Of standard and modern
instrumental music rendered by the full
military band of the United States Sol
diers' Home, under the leadership OF
John s. NJ. Zimmerman. The first OF
these Sabbath musical events was SO
largely attended that the management
has already arranged to have dozen
different local bands appear in the new
music shell on successive Sundays.
Encouraged by the remarkable patron
age OF the opening week. the management
Of Glen Echo Park is already at work on
further improvements, which, when COM
pleted, will add greatly to the attractive
ness Of this popular playground. From
Coney Island there have been received
six brand new amusement devices. which
will be found in the new midway" and
these features, together with the thrill
ing human roulette wheel and the
laughable giant slide" will make that
spacious-structure the fun center of the
resort. That riding devices are more
popular this season than ever before
with outdoor amusement seekers IN
shown by the fact that the receipts for
the past week from the Social dip"
marine toboggan. and model railway
were the largest in the history of Glen
Echo. The passenger capacity of this
trio Of rides is being increased by the
addition OF new cars.
or the fifty attractions now in operation
at Glen Echo, none has enjoyed greater
favor than the handsome new open-air
dancing pavilion. which has been de-
clared to have the finest floor surface Of
its kind In or near Washington. Auto
matte entrance and exit gates to the
dancing floor, which were completed yes
terday. will make access to the pavilion
easier and more comfortable.
The elaborate display of aerial fireworks
last week will be repeated next Thursday
evening on a more lavish scale. Cars for
Glen Echo Park, where the admission
will continue free during the season. now
depart from downtown on a three-minute
schedule every evening and on Saturday
and Sunday afternoons.

MACON PUT One over
ON LOCALS YESTERDAY
COFking Lineup For TOday'S
Game

In a game that was a rafting good
exhibition of ball playing from start
to finish Macon defeated the locals at
Dudley Field yesterday afternoon by a
score of Z to l. The quality of ball
playing exhibited at many points IN
the game was of sensational kind, al
though the score gives little hint Of
it.
Both Fort, for the locals, and Bean
Pole" Smith, for the Maconians, We're
touched up in pretty lively manner
by the opposing batters during the
game. Smith had a shade the better
of the argument, however, as he kept
hits we'll scattered at critical moments.
With the exception of the sixth and
last innings, during which a total If
six runs were made off his delivery.
Fort performed nicely for the To-
Gals
From the gingery manner in which
both pitchers were batted in the first
innings it seemed that a smuggling
match was being uncorked. Macon
drew a lone tally in the second in
ming, a score which lasted until the
sixth, when Americas put three tallies
over the plate, following an opportune
bingle by Cooper, with two out and
three men on bases In the next in
ming Macon duplicated the three run
stunt by punching hits.
1t looked like a garrison finish in
the eighth, when Hooks drove in a
run, tying the score. But stiff bat
ting rally by the Macon swatsters
chalked up three runs in the first
half of the ninth session, giving them
a lead that was not lessened when
the Champs came to bat for the last
time. Howell made a sensational stop
at second of a wild throw by Hooks
in the eighth, cutting off a run.
Wonder" Wilder will be on the fir
ing line for the Champs in today s
game, having been taken out OF the
box yesterday after the first inning On
account of a sore arm. His wing is
in fine shape for the game this after
noon, which gives assurance that il
will be a battle royal, as Macon viii
send in Duke to oppose him. AS usual
Tommy Hooks will handle the receiv-
ing end for the locals, while Ellison
who did such effective work for the
visitors yesterday, will be behind the
bat for the Central City team.
Today's game will be a hummer, as
the locals are out to win, while Ma
con offers its strongest lineup for
this afternoon. The game will be call
ed promptly at o'clock, with what
promises to be the record attendance
of the season.
