The Swimming Pool Opened.

Water was turned into the SWIM
ming pool on West Dakota street
Friday afternoon and Saturday even
ing at ZOO o'clock it was opened to
the public. In a few minutes after
the opening it was filled to capacity
by young folks, and some not 90
young, seeking release from the heat
and enjoying swim in clean, fresh
water. Owing to so much rain the
past few weeks the water in the
creeks and in the Miami river has
been so muddy that the swimmers
have been compelled to forego that
sport.
