DROAD RIPPLE park has had a
- remarkable good season despite
a weather handicap during the early
weeks of the season, and indications
are that the closing weeks at the
park will eclipse all former records
for the outdoor amusement business
at the big north side resort.
The records for special days and
numerous large out-of-toWn gath
erings together with large local
patronage week days and Sundays
when favorable weather conditions
prevailed indicates that the amuse-
ment park business is on the ascend
ancy instead Of on the decline, as
is reported in some parts of the
country.
In the closing weeks of the season
the park management is anticipat-
ing many busy days as there are yet
on the park calendar number of
special days which have been booked
up by large commercial organiza-
tions for picnics and special price
occasions.
One of the big. affairs yet to be
held at the park will be the eight
day outing of the Fraternal Order of
Eagles which is being sponsored by
the local aerie.
This affair not only will attract
members of the local aerie but mem
bers of the organization from over
the state have signif1ed their in
tentions of being present in large
numbers all through the eight days
of fun and frolic on the elaborate
program laid out by the local aerie.
Several special attractions have
been booked for Sunday which will
prove unusually attractive.
In conjunction with the special
numbers there are several other free
attractions at the park which are
available every day in the week. In
this list will be found the big rink
in which skating may be INDUCED in
without charge.
Every night there is available free
dancing in the Moonlight pavilion
music for which is furnished by one
Of the best dance bands in the
country.
Other free attractions are the
athletic shows in which the best
talent obtainable is to be seen at the
swimming pool arena where ade-
quate accommodations are to be
found for any size crowd that may
assemble.

that his wife has remarked and
