AN ECHO OF LAKEWOODS

PARK NOW A ME

With the advent of summer, thero are a few who regret the passing- of old Lakewood's Park and wonder whether it will be revived as they recall: "O-Oh Bill-ee McCoy was a mus-lc-al bo-o-oy, He would sit at that pi-anoo On the steamship, Ala-bam-a." Head up, hands waving, body swaying and the rathskeller crowd keeping time in a dozen clamerous ways, a heavy-voiced singer Introduced the nautical rag song to Lakewoods in its first year. 1911. Around that Lakewood's built It's patronage. One song kept an amusement park going for two seasons until worn and frayed it no longer charmed the park collapsed with a bang. Lakewoods la No More. "Flappy" Monnette sang It, roared It, pantomlned It while Goyke at the piano faked, improvised and recomposed it. Katherine Andrews, who has since changed her name and is In a Lew Field's summer show, trilled it, Does a wife like a husband to lie to her? Does this same wife overlook a lie when it Is backed up with funny complications, during which the husband's love for her is always manifest? Does your wife fancy you going out with chorus girls. If perchance she happens to be a suffragette. These are a few of the questions whose so lutions sunnlv much of the comMv in Campbell B. Casad's song farce entitled "Don't Lie to Your Wife," which will be seen at the Orpheum starting Sunday matinee. Popularity can be capitalized this summer by young ladies in Hammond. The newest opportunity for vote getters is offered by the Gem theater through a partner in the management, C. F. Goyke, who has arranged with a syndicate to give the two most popular of the Gem's lady patrons an extensive vacation trip on the great lakes and across Indiana and Ohio to Niagara Falls by special train, all expenses paid. Properly chaperoned, girls from many other cities will be In the party. The SIgsby Steamship line Is making arrangements to carry the cargo of pretty girls on a new lake steamer they want well advertised all over the country. As each girl will tell her firends and the local press have plenty of copy about it, the steamer should spring Into Immediate demand. Last night was the first of the contest. Nomination blanks and votes were given at the window. The entries are not yet announced. The contest , will not run a great while for " the not run a great while excursion is planned to start the last of July. The trip will take from ten days to two weeks at least. The policy of the Bijou in giving three reels and two acts of vaudeville the first four days of the week, amateurs Friday night and new vaudeville for Saturday and Sunday Is certainly meeting the approval of the theater going population of Hammond, as last week 6,342 took advantage of the Vi hour show for Be. Last night over 1,000 saw the nine amateur acts, little Myrtle Steinert winning the $2.50 In gold for the best local amateur. Those who took part were: Anna Goodman, Mayme O'Conner, Bert Billings, Ben James," Scotty, Sam Johnson, Joe Hunt, Little Myrtle Steinert, Dreaming, Miss Mayme O'Connor & Co. INCREASE IN BUILDING PERMITS A decided increase was evident in the Issuing of building permits at the city hall during the past week, and although no permits were granted for large buildings, a large number were taken out for cottages and flats ranging from $ 1,000 to $4,000. A large amount of repair work is also being done and accordingly a boom in building activity is expected during the next month.

But "Billy McCoy" of the "Oceana Roll" is dead and Lakewoods a thing of the past. To the true Bohemian who finds pleasure setting at a table and drinking beer till he falls over the closing of Lake county's first amusement park will be sincerely regretted. But the average patron who cared neither for excessive drinking or dancing found little to amuse other than the band. But friendships formed in the summer months are not so easily broken.

No. 13. THE

Real estate history is full of instances in which transportation has been a factor which has extended outward the confines of the city and made new Talues in suburban districts. The modern tendency is to get away from the congestion, noise, dirt, bad air of the city into the wholesome out of doors of the suburban districts. Transportation alone makes this possible. Realizing this the officers of the Hammond & Suburban Realty Co,, the owner of Kenwood, determined to bring about the construction of a street car line the full length of their property. The matter was put up to A. L. Drum, the operating manager of the road, and he agreed to build an extension of the Hohman street line to Munster, providing franchises were secured in Hammond, Munster, Highlands and Griffith before the first of

May when the new public utilities law went into effect.

The opportunity to ing before the utilities law policy of expansion.

The necessary franchises were secured and the company m accepting them gave bond to complete the line within a year. This line is an absolute certainty as the

developments of the year will done for Kenwood. Kenwood is now a situated. People can net to

what invaribly promotes values. Follow the development of Chicago. Districts that have transportation are years in advance of districts that do not. Look at the map of Hammond and you will note that its built up sections follow the street car lines. Hohman street is built up for nearly a mile farther south than Calumet avenue because of transportation. The investor should consider this.

"I want to ask as a personal favor that you please try to be present at jthe Bible School next Sunday with 'every one possible from your family, and that you also invite everyone you see this week. This appeal Is urgent. "C. J. SHARP, Supt." GUNTOTER HEAVILY FINED. Claude Ferguson, 160 Sibley street. Hammond, received a full dose of the law in City Judge Barnett's court this morning when he was fined a sum of $40 for carrying a concealed weapon. His trouble started yesterday when In an Intoxicated condition he pulled a gun on Pat Lupton and threatened to make trouble.

Glooms Hober Ober Mineral Springs

Glooms are driving the Joys out of the grandstand and pavilion at Mineral Springs and settling down for an all bummer stay. It looks like horse racing has made Its last stand as an Institution In Indiana and enthusiasts refuse to entertain hopes of its revival. Although June 14 has been set as the opening day for the Porter races and the grand re-opening of the Mineral Springs course, there is small chance that there will be racing then or afterwards. There is still pending in the courts a few suits against the racing association growing out of failure to meet certain obligations In curred in the meeting last year, andfi these will have to be settled befdre the organization can start once more. "Purses Sot Forthcoming. Many of the horse owners who managed to shove over their bangtails last fall have yet to receive the purse that was hung up, and these men are try - lng to pick up money from the management. A number of the horses that ; have been quartered at Porter for the J last few weeks awaiting another j bugle call have been shipped to other tracks and the course is again taktrtg on a deserted look, notwithstanding ; the fact that promoters say that racing will start June 14. j Ben Hyman. formerly of Chicago, but BUILD TWENTY NEWCOTTAGES Carl Anderson, the Indiana Harbor contractor, has contracts for twenty tt.i,.. trt Ha rprtd hv the SmithMiller company in East Chicago. Eight 1 of the bunch are to be built in 144th street. Of the remaining ten. six are In Magoun avenue between 150th and 161st streets and four In Walsh between 149th and 160th streets. The first named group are already well along In their construction, and the latter have only the foundations in. They are all alike in architecture, both inside and out, and are to cost from $1,200 to $1,600. The buildings are of frame with brick foundations and contain four rooms each. Mr. Anderson is also putting up a one-story store building with living rooms in the rear at Tod and 151st street. This Is also of frame, but is to have a concrete foundation. RETAIL DRY GOODS BUSINESS BOOMING Marshall Field & Co. in their weekly review of the dry goods trade say: "Although the weather in most sections of the country has been cool during the last week, totals of transactions continue to run ahead of those of 1912.' Interest has been pretty equally divided between current and future busine:&. It is a significant fact that the preponderance of sales in dry goods at wholesale -during the week has been in lines that are not considered necessities.' This has been true of merchandise sold for both Immediate and future shipment. "Thej opening of the selling season on drapery fabrics for autumn delivery shows a marked gain In sales over the corresponding period a year ago. Scrim eurtains offered at special prices for immediate delivery were quickly taken.
