z. Nespor, superintendent of recreat tion, who planned the playgrounds demonstra- tion, stated last night that he was well satisfied with the showing made Mr. Nespor expressed his appreciation of the aid given by merchants and others who gave prizes and helped to advertise the meet. He especially extended his thanks to the supervisors and superintendents of playgrounds throughout the city, say- ing their work on the matter made pos- sible the success which attended the meet.
 Mir. Nespor said that the meet this year was only forerunner of what was to be in years to come: that it demon- strated to the citizens the worth of tho Iplaygrounds movement, and showed to them the benefits to be derived by their children by healthful. properly directed recreation.
