NEW HOUSE FOR THE SWIMMERS

After taking twenty-mile ride
Sunday morning with Commissioner
Hummel, through the parks and
along the boulevards, ]. P. Connolly,
member OF the recreation board. de-
clared he had received a revelation
and an inspiration. He had seen
Omaha in spots during his forty
years of residence here, but this trip
Of seeing Omaha just now, dressed
in spring grandeur, prompted a new
enthusiasm.
Mr.. Hummel. who is chairman of the
recreation board. took the members of
the new board out on an inspection trip,
to give them first-hand information re-
garding the recreational centers which
they will manage in the days to come.
The itinerary started at the city hall
and the first place visited was Kountze
park. Entering the park one of the first
things observed was a youngster swing
ing head down from turning pole. Zorro
d. Clark of the board said he felt like
emulating the lad
On the way to the municipal beach at
Carter lake Mr.. Connolly remarked that
he intends to recommend to the city coun-
Gil that a bathing beach ami tennis. courts
be placed in the Riverview park. Mr..
Hummel said he favored tennis courts,
but believed that recreation features, of
a more general benefit should first be
established.
Another Bathing House.
At the Carter lake bathing beach Mr..
Hummel said he expects to erect another
house for bathers this season, so that
the men may have one building and the
women another place. The present build
ing Is used by men and women, although
there are separate rooms.
II fss expected that this bathing beach
will be a popular place this season. Some
of the more hardy swimmers already are
| taking plunges.
An observation made at the lake was
the idea of making an effort to have
some Iowa land and water in that vicinity
exchanged for Nebraska territory near
Lake Manawa, action by congress per-
haps being necessary to accomplish this.
Dressing Room at Miller Park.
During the visit 70 Miller park the
recreation board members watched the
| gold fish with much interest and sur
veyed all OF the recreational activities.
Among the improvements TO be urged by
/ the board will be dressing rooms for
women and children who wish to bathe
In the summer and for skaters in the
winter.
Golf at EImwOOd.
A golf course in Elmwood park is
among the possibilities. The members
| favor this Improvement and II money viii
permit 1t viii be started this season.
Members OF the new board intend 10
make frequent trips TO the various re
creational centers and watch the young
and old at play, that they may get into
real touch with the situation and be able
10 act intelligently on their recommends
tions to the council. The recreation board
proposes and the council disposes. but

When the matter was report

preacher as preachers will, felt
that he had fallen short Of the
whole schedule of his duty, and
took the blame upon himself.
But he determined that should
he be spared for another years
work, he would call often upon
the offended brother, who thus
yearned for his society.
Accordingly he made it con-
yenient to call four times during
the following year. Still the
man paid nothing, and at the
close of the year the officer of
the church waited upon him
again.
