PICNICs AT SPRINGS.
Park Becomes Popular Resort for
Family Outings,

Brandywine Springs Park was the
scene OF a number of private picnic
parties yesterday. The popularity Of
the park is partly due to the excellent
trolley service. The idea has always
been TO make this a park for the
whole family whether the family Is
in search Of pleasure or rest There
is always plenty Of either to be found
at the Springs.
Today the Manhattan Opera Com
pany gave its only matinee Of the
week. This organization gives prom
Use Of becoming the most popular the
atrical organization which has ap-
peared In the city and the best test
Of its popularity Is the fact that the
attendance AZ opera increases each
evening and this in spite Of the fact
/ that the weather during the present
week has been rather cool and
! threatening for outside amusements
/ There is no doubt that the company
is making an even bigger hit in FRA
! Diavolo than II did in its opening pro-
duction which was on the musical
comedy line, and II is therefore like
ly that the company will hereafter
be kept in regular opera. The COM
pany is qualified to furnish that kind
Of entertainment and during the sea-
son the people who visit the park will
be enabled to see some OF the best
operate productions which II is pos
sible to obtain.
