NIGHT SCENE IS ONE OF VERY RARE BEAUTY

The Palisades Amusement Park,
scheduled to open last Saturday, May
10, was unable to combat the weather
man and had to tack up postpone
ment sign for day. Sunday did not
give excessive promise of sunshine-in
fact, the sun was behind clouds all
day, though little rain fell In the late
afternoon the crowds began to file in,
and before O'Clock there was a very
fair sized crowd out. The various
scenic railways and roller coaster
devices were all in operation and did
thriving business, as did most of the
other attractions. But at that the
weather was against anything like a
record crowd, though there are enough
new attractions to have brought out
thousands more if the weather hadn't
kicked up so.
And speaking of riding facilities in
the park, the management has con-
Structed much larger and longer
scenic railway than the other biggest
one, and it has longer and more pre-
cipitous drop as well. 1t possesses the
most engaging lot of thrills and should
satisfy the most adventurous taste in
hairbreadth ideals, while yet being
made with every device for safety
Taking the park as a whole, it is
much more attractive than ever, and
Mr. Schenck is determined to make it
the real standard of American out of
doors amusement resorts, where order
is maintained with vigorous determine
ton and where women and children
may come at will and be guaranteed
against every sort of interference with
their rights. In speaking of the this
