PROSPECT PARK
Alliance's Amusement Resort Proved
Very Popular Monday Many
and Varied Attractions
UNRIDABLE BILL WAS RIDDEN
Although there Is considerable
standing room at Prospect Park, it
could be said that it was nearly
crowded Monday while the celebra
tion was in progress. People knew
there would be sports galore, but
they had no idea they would be as
pretentious as they were.
There were amusements for both
young and old both on the water
and on land. The power boat, "Be
delta", proved- a great attraction
throughout the afternoon, and it
was crowded on every trip

were crowd, j. The music was ex

himself. Ai. .er & Powles are to be
congratulate on their foresight in
arranging si. a an excellent place of
amusement for the Fourth of July
celebration, i.nd now that the crowaa
have once v.-ited it, it will likely be
the busiest ; lace in this part of the
state for th. bulance of the summer.

the rowboats were In use constantly,
and they could be seen on all por
tions of the large lake.
The skating rink also proved very
popular, the young folks gliding
around on eight wheels all after
noon. At one time all the skates
were in use, which, by the way,
means there were quite a number of
rkaters.
Frank Palmer's wild west shows
proved the leading attraction for the
afternoon. There were potato and
hat races on horseback, bucking
bronchos and steers, and then there
was "the" great number on the pro
gram the riding of the bucking bull
"Bosco". And he was ridden suc
cessfully for the first time in bis ex-

Robert Smith was arrested Mon

watch from Al Seiffert's cigar store

puncher at Prospect Park Monday af

away with the chaps, but the onlook

belonged to him. However, when
they were missed by the owner, a
search was instituted and Smith

rest he told where he had hidden the
stolen goods.
He had been seen in the cigar
