After all a\nglance at the different occupations of the\ncrowd shows that the choice depends on the\nage. In the seats near the band-stand you\nfind the father and mother and generally the\nchildren enjoying their beer and eatables, and\nat the same time the music and the crowd.\nHere,also, may be seen a group of young men,\nfor whom the games have no attractions,\nenjoying themselves. But for the young\nman with his girl the place has great possi-\nbilities. If he has determined to settle the\nmomentous question there, then and forever,\nthere are sylvan nooks where the beer boy\ndoes not penetrate, and here the tender\nsibilations of budding love mingle with the\nsighing of the summer zephyrs. The attend-\nance was large for the first night, and the\nevening was enjoyably passed. About 10\no'clock the rain which passed over the city\nfell slightly at the park, and seemed to hurry\nsome of the visitors home.\nThe prizes were awarded at a late hour last\nnight, as follows: Bowling-first prize, unde-\ncided;\" $12, to M. Haydown; $9, to H. See-\nbode; $6, to G. J. Seufferle; $5, to J. Fittich;\n$4, to John Angermann; $3, to W. Fendner,\nand $2 to Gus Hartig For the largest num-\nber of ten strikes Mr. W. Fendner received\nan extra prize of $5. Ladies' shooting prizes-\nMrs. Eckert, pair of ear-rings; Mrs. Horner,\none dozen handkerchiefs; Mrs. Bessler, a\nsatchel; Mrs. Helmers, fancy basket; Mrs.\nMuehleisen, dress goods.
