Fountain Park opened Saturday with a fine Sunday school day and was followed by as good a first Sunday as has been known in years. Monday and Tuesday were rather poor as far as attendance goes, but the evening crowds were entirely satisfactory. The people who attend all the lectures and concerts say that no better program has ever been given here than the one this year. Thursday should be a big day, and no one ought to miss the middle Sunday.
