SEASIDE PARK.

WORD has spread abroad that one OF
the best ways to avoid the nettle-
some sea nettle is TO pass up the open
water for the filtered salt water in the
big swimming pool at Seaside Park, the
new amusement resort at Chesapeake
Beach.
The pool, located just beside the new
ball room at the park, is said to be
one of the largest in the East with
accommodations for 10000 bathers
daily. Its graduated depth offers OPP
portunity for all bathers-the swan
diver who likes to do his stuff for the
admiration of all observers, while at
the shallow end of the tank youngsters
and grown-ups, not so sure Of their
social standing in King Neptune's
realm, may enjoy the clear and cool
water in their own sweet way.
There's plenty to see, plenty to do,
plenty to enjoy at Seaside Park. You
get there by your own car via the new
Southern Maryland Boulevard, or via
the Chesapeake Beach Railway, whose
bright red cars start from the District
line and take you to the very door OF
the park where awaiting you will be
found the shooter, whip, miniature rail-
way, airplane swing, carrousel, coaster
dip and ever so many more amusements
