Amusemenfs in Parks and Theatres

AMATEUR NIGHT AT SPRINGS.
Tonight will be amateur night IN
the Park Theatre al Brandywine
Springs An unusually large number
Of amateurs have entered their names
to contest for the cash prizes which
will be offered This will give an
extra bill OF amateurs in addition to
the regular bill Of professionals
which will be presented by the Henry
and Young Musical Comedy Company
and the public will really get two en-
tertainments for one price of admis-
sion. Amateur night is already prov
ing popular at the Springs though
this is but the second one which has
been arranged.
Attendance at Brandywine Springs
Park is larger than it has been for
sometime and it is thought that much
of this is due 10 the excellent trolley
service which is being maintained by
the Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company. The route to
Brandywine Springs Park and return
is becoming the favorite pleasure ride
about the city and the service is such
that It is always possible 10 get back
and forth with comfort
