A REVIVAL.

AMUSEMENTS .PARK REOPENS. Once more Logan Park became a popular destination for pleasure-seekers on Saturday afternoon and evening, when the Amusements Park offered its thrills and pleasures to those whose interest in the pleasureland of the Exhibition has not waned. The reopening was, perhaps, a daring experiment by the new company which intends to run the Amusements Park for a week before it is removed to Auckland, but the weather was favourable and success crowned the initial sessions.

The brief glow of Exhibition life before Logan Park is finally turned into open grounds was indeed a welcome one. bringing back Exhibition sights sounds, and memories that many thought belong to the past. When the gates of the Exhibition Joyland opened at 2 o'clock in the afternoon hundreds arrived in the same manner and by the same route to which they had been accustomed during the Exhibition months. Outwardly the famous Amusements Park was unchanged—yet there was a difference, a difference that was particularly noticeable in the evening when the lights of the devices emphasised the shadow and silence of the big pavilions.

In the evening the presence of the St. Kildo Band, which played an attractive programme of popular music under the lights in the centre of the amusements area added greatly to the success of the venture, and for the time being transformed the Amusements Park into a little city o i bustling joy. reminiscent of the Exhibition period. The attendance was again fair and the fine weather helped in no small measure to tempt pleasure-seekers to Logan Park. The Amusements Park will be open again this evening and for the remainder of the week.
