HILLSIDE PARK DRAWS BIG
CROWDS DESPITE WEATHER.

Rainy or threatening weather seems
to have little effect On the attendance
at Hillside Park Hippodrome. This
was true at both performances yester-
day. as well as on Sunday. In fact, 1t
has been the case all season, and on
two occasions only has the manage
ment been forced to postpone the per-
formances. This is due partly to the
fact that the soil in the open-air arena,
where the wild West show is given is of
such a nature that it easily absorbs
water and can be restored to a normal
condition in a short time. And even
when 1t is too stormy for the usual out
Goor exhibitions there are so many in
door amusements hat the crowds are
always satisfied.
An unusually good bill is being pre-
sented this week by the wild West
troupe. The attack on the prairie
schooner is. of course, one of the fea-
lures. always interesting features are
the races between cowboys n cow
girls. These are real races and not the
"cut-and-dried" affairs that some
might imagine. In fact, the rivalry is
so intense that the announcer, who also
acts as Judge in these events, often has
it hard to placate the contestants. The
show contains all the other features
that go with a first-class production Of
its kind.
Dancing, roller-skating, the largest
and safest roller coaster in the State,
boating, a swimming pool and "a min
iature railway are a few of the other
attractions.

Paris who falls In love with a gypsy
violinist. He sends her from him in a
jealous rage, and his return to absinthe,
from which she has saved him, n his
subsequent regeneration through her
love and faithfulness are depicted in a
way which grips the audience from be-
