FOR CITY CHILDREN
Little Patrons of Brooklyn Va
cant Lot Fairgrounds to
Have Summer Treats.

The children of Brooklyn are going
week all summer. The Parks and
Fairgrounds Association, the Peoples
institute and the Commissioner Of
Parks for the Borough of Brooklyn,
RAYMOND V. Ingersoll, have conspired,
and, as a result, some of the best
photo plays will be shown in the play
grounds the association has established
in vacant lots.
1t was hoped that the exhibitions
would begin last night, but the plans
could not be completed, and Frank G.
1,unson, president Of the association
for Brooklyn, and Seymour Barnard,
the Brooklyn secretary, decided that il
would be as we'll to wait until after
tho Fourth. So the moving pictures
will begin next Monday night. The
pogtpoEement was disappointment 10
the Brooklyn children, many Of whom
hung wiGtfully around the Fairgrounds
last night until assured there was no
hope.
A number of Manhattan Fairgrounds
opened, however, and though they are
not to hare pictures they had many
other attractions. One of the best
patronized lots was that on Fifth av.,
below I'D ST., owned by Cornelius
Vanderbilt and E. III. Van lngen. Here
there was d fine equipment OF swings
and leather horses for leap frog.
Swarms of children who came over to
Central Park from the thickly popu-
lated districts east Of Lexington av.,
took advantage Of this playground,
where there were no forbidden plaees.
The association hopes TO get the
use of the large vacant lot on the
northeast corner Of T2d st. and Fifth
av.. to throw open as a baseball ground
for the bigger boys.
The president Of the Parks and Play
grounds Association of the City of
New York, George Gordon Battle, re-
ports a growing tendency on the part

ro. day IS tho dav!

This afternoon watch the lads, how
they strut, and the girls, how they
swish their skirts in their pride.
It's pr'motion dayl
This morning Jack and Liza, too
we're on tenterhooks. They had their
doubts about the results of those 'zaml
nations didn't know il they'd passed
Jack and Liza did, though. And it's
surprising what an increase OF dignity
they acquired in just passing through
dOor-"gettin' pr'moted to "a from,
lB."
Then, Of course. there was Tom, whoi
got left" There always is a Tom.
Re had very little strut to him. In
fact, according to tradition, he should
have sneaked home by the back way
and lurked in the dark corners of the
woodshed in fear of the wrath to come.
But there aren't any woodsheds in New
York i'm these untraditional times, nor
shy back ways to most houses; so Tom
lad 70 20 home and whistle loudly and
talk volubly on many subjects other
than school, in an effort to steer clear
ii embarrassing questions. But to take
another tack.
This is the day!
PRINCETON day, too.
This time, however, promotion"
leaves little time for Strutting. In
stead, one mas to grab ones bag and
hustle. dignity all forgotten, TO the
train, maybe to rush painting and wilted
aboard at the last minute, with some
body giving one most undignife6
boost from behind.
Six Hundred More Tomorrow.
What does il matter. though. so long
as promotion takes one through the
door-not the enc that leads from Alb
TO 5A-that leads from a hot city TO
q cool. green, new country? Promoted?
Well. it's some step up from Asphalt
Street 20 Fresh Air Heights.
About three hundred are to be so
promoted to-day, just as soon as they
can make sure of their school stand
ings. by the Tribune Fresh Air Fund.
Tor weeks preparations have been max
ing TO get the Tribune Fund homes IN
order FOR the reception of guests, and
now they stand fresh, clean and airy,
ready for the arrival Of the boys and
girls who have been looking forward to
treir country fortnights ever since the
first warm day reached New York.
Three hundred will be promoted to-
Gay-a number which indicates that a
GOOD many of tom" will be left but
tomorrow six hundred more will be
promoted to country places, and the
rext day four hundred more, and the
day after that still some more. In fact,
every day from now on will see its
