One of the biggest novelties at the park was a large black bear that lived in cave. It had been trapped in the cave when the place was first opened and the front had been closed with iron bars. It grew to be very tame and was favorite with the children. There was also large two floor dance hall that was generally crowded every night in the week. Many people went to the park and spent many hours watching the couples glide about on it's surface.
 Rowing on White Oak pond was very popular and large number of boats were kept for patrons. It was a favorite sport with the older men and women to sit on the banks of the pond and watch younger folks rowing around. The men enjoyed themselves by bowling during the early hours of the evening.
 A bridge ran from one side of the

Among the notable changes that have come about in the motion pie ture business during the past sever al years is the elimination of the once popular ''illustrated songs, which had their place on every bill in the days when the movies were struggling for a foothold and the great features of the modern era were unknown and probably un- dreamed of. Modern inventions have made the motion picture song possi- bte but it fails to register so strong ly on the minds of the audience as that old standby the "illustrated song" That they will ever regain their popularity is doubtful. all though the patrons who applauded them in days gone by undoubtedly would appreciate them again and it is not entirely outside the realm of possibility that the programs of the future may include them, as witness the temporary revival of the old lime fiddlers' entertainments Of q Jew years ago.
