AQUATIC SPORTS
DRAW BIG CROWD
ISLAND PARK SCENE OF LIVELY
CONTESTS, WITH SPECTATORS
LINING SIDE LINES.

1oNlEStS, WITH SfEt tIAlOkS
LINING SIDE LINES.
Two hundred automobiles brought
their loads of participants and specta-
tors 10 join with more than a thous-
and others ut Island park last Sun
day afternoon for the aquatic sports,
making the affair notable success.
In numbers the gathering would per-
haps eutaumhcr the best attendance
At the county fair or the chautauqua
in years past. Il should say there
are two thousand people here" said
one reliable calculator who is used To
crowds. Another equally as reliable
though perhaps fifteen hundred would
be the mark. The camera men and
women were out in numbers swapping
the throngs that lined the shore and
the splashers in the pool, men women
and children, where gay and striking
costumes were in evidence as well as
on the shore. At every performance
Of the water sprites liberal applause
rang along the lines of spectators. So
il was also with the offerings OF the
municipal band which rendered lively
airs for an hour or two between. The
music was modulated and soft as the
pleasing lutte where IL should be. just
as otherwise where ali four speeds
with the big bass drum were intended
to clash, showing that Director Coyie
already has his pupils we'll in hand.
The music lovers IN the gathering
expressed the hope that there may be
many OF these outdoor programs by
the band before they are shut off by
cold weather.
