Consequently, it came to pass that our most noted artificial-as differentiated from our natural nation al parks-playground was located adja- cent our largest aggregation of hud- dled-up humanity, New York City.
 Coney Island has been referred to as Americas Mad Playground" and the stranger who visits 1t on hot summer night readily and naturally gains the impression that the swarm ing hordes of people are mad for play, also that almost everybody is going to or coming from Coney Island.
 Perched on an outfiung point of Long fsland-About an hours ride from "the big city, with a slipping, rolls the Atlantic oceans surf. Coney Island Is one of the most popular bath- ing places in the world. The creek which formerly separated Coney from Long island having been partially dlled in, 1t h no longer a separate island, but the name. known world wide, was not changed.
 Belonging originally to the Canarsie Indians who called 1t Narrioch, Coney Island came into possession of white people as far back as 1643. The pres snt Coney dates from the erection of . pavilion in 1S44. Since that time 1t has grown steadily and marvelously as an amusement center and Is now the widest-known amusement resort we have.
