A special program has been arranged for -Labor Day which will include speaking, athletic events, band concerts and other amusements. Although the cool weather at nights often chased the swimmers out of the pool, yet Broad Ripple has had a splendid season.

placed with benches. The dance hall has been well patronized at nights. Neighborhood picnickers have used the dance floor as the final event of a pleasant evening. Although Indianapolis does not boast of a big river y£t White River has its excursion boasts, Steamer Sunshine which has a daily schedule, leaving from the Broad Ripple Park dock. A large pleasure boat makes it possible for couples to dance during a trip on the river. A jazz orchestra is used on the boatU This boat is also available for special parties. Among the many events which appeal to the children is the Junior Speedway. Tiny race cars are piloted over a course. This speedway is made for children although some of the grownups are to be found on it. Another attraction which appeals to those who desire “rough riding" is the Dodgem. Special cars are piloted about in such a way that skill is developed when a driver misses another car. The cars are so built that a collision does not result in injury or damages. The more they bump into each other, greyer is the thrill. Broad Ripple has one of the most thrilling rides in town. It is said to be one of the longest rides outside Chicago. One dip actually takes the breath away form the riders. The sea planes give one the feeing that they are riding in airplanes. It is really an aerial merry-go-round. But it is the old-fashioned merry-go-ground with modern features that appeals most to little children. The merry-go-round is a sort of a national institution for children in this country. One of the features on the Broad Ripple merry-go-round is a bucking mule, no! a live one but a mechanical affair. The Old Mill resembles lover's lane in Naples as little boats glide slowly here and there under caves and into little nooks. Cupid Is generally around or should be. In addition to these and other attractions there are numerous concessions, such as “hot dogs” and other sandwich stands, candy and doll booths and ale, orange and other soft drink stands.
