Large Crowd at Garfield.
The largest crowd of the year listen
ed to the band concert given Monday
night at Garfield park by Marshalls
band. The seats surrounding the
bandstand were we'll filled and the
driveway was crowded with cars and
other cOnveyances.
All concessions were well patron
lied, especially the figure eight, mer-
ry-go-round and carousal. The earlier
part of the summer was far from the
kind suitable to amusement parks and
VIE crowds were small, but the warm
night are bringing good crowds to
North Topeka and the park.
Playground Is Popular.
The city playground at Quincy
school is proving more popular each
day, according to the directors in
charge On an average of seventy
youngsters congregate at this center
from 8 o'clock in the morning to noon
and from in the afternoon to z in the
evening. The total enrolment is 40.
The younger children use the sand
pile and are taught industrial work by
girls work. Mr.. Young, the athletic
supervisor of the grounds, keeps the
boys busy playing playground ball in
the morning and during the evening
the diamond is used by the older boys
for playing baseball.
Commencing Friday evening class
of girls who work during the summer
will be organized. A volleyball and
friendly contests will be held with
teams from the other Fairgrounds in
the city. The evening hours for the
older girls will be from to $50.
Regular athletic apparatus will be
installed on the Quincy grounds as
soon as it arrives. This will prove an
added attraction to the older boys and
girls The accomm odations at the
grounds are sufficient for several hun
dred children and those who do not
manage to meet witt the directors
each day are missing lots of fun.
