GLEN ECHO TRIP POPULAR
Record Breaking Crowds Find
Amusement at Park Resort.

dk
Trips TO Glen Echo Park are fast
becoming the most popular OF out
door sports in Washington, II one can
Judge from the attendance, which is
mounting faster than the Thermometer.
Saturday night was a record breaker:
all day Sunday Capital folks flocked
to the popular resort. and last night
was a repetition, the crowd being the
largest OF any Monday evening of the
season.
As usual the leader of the amuse-
ments in popularity was the dance
pavilion. With its beautiful decora-
tions, its four sides open to the
breezes and its excellent floor and
music, the pavilion was the mecca
for a large part of the parks visit
ors. and every number found the big
floor space filled. The dancers show
ed no favoritism and impartially en-
cored every number that Mills and his
ten musicians played, even showing
a reluctance to quit when figurative
taps" were sounded.
The other fun providers were not
sighted, however, and all evening
long the two thrill rides carried full
loads over the dips and around the
curves, the midway was thronged and
all Of the minor attractions had their
full share OF attention.
One OF the seasons big crowds
watched the free movie show, which
is always the curtain raiser for the
evenings fun.
