Buckley Will Handle End Here and Will Open Office Next Week.1 It was made known thi! morning that Wilmington is in a fair way tp have a big amusement park on some large tract of land in the" suburbs. In fact, it was announced as " a certainty and preparations, which were quietly started " some weeks ago; are now well underway. Mr. O. E. , Skiff, manager of the "Payne Pyrotechnic Company, hasbeenPlh the City this - week in con ference ' with Mr. L. (WZ Buckley, who so succe'ssf ulfy and ably promoted and directed; the : preesnt big and brilliant Elkfest, and'f-Mrj'V Buckley announced this TOorhing that?lc6iitracts bad been closed1 readry'C?-0 tne park. MrrSklff leaves; today for the north to further'" the project among amusement folks there and Mr. Buck ley will go to New York city some time nex tweek, but before he goes he will open an office here for the park. The idea is a big one in the amuse ment line and if itr materializes suc cessfully, as it, no doubt, will, the Wilmington people will have a giant place of amusement and one that , will prove especially attractive in the sum-, mer time, as the city has no public park. According to the plans of those interested a large tract of land is to be obtained either in the southern, northern or eastern part of the city and there will, be located the-arause-m'ents, which wilonsis't? in Jlhe' main of many novel attractions. Not such as ,xnlial W1' a SC?.S and such thirfgs -zTtfere would also be ) The park would-be a regular GOtief Island place of a'niuemeri anft! would be like the D'Sieif Iiantf i-'that Is'' how running with sueh "signal "Success -in Jacksonville, Fia.V' and which, ' -by the way, was '-established by Prbmoter Buckley. The idea is to get the park started as soon as possible, and it would, no doubt, prove a fine place of recreation and amusement for the people of this city. ' Wilmington now has no park of any description sad be it but one like the Dixie Land of Jacksonville would not only supply the deficiency, but would place Wilmington ahead of any city its size in this direction. A number, of amusement managers are already interested in the project and have taken stock.

The death of Mr. Crow, which so shocked the entire community, has caused deep "sorrow to bis friends who were legion and many beautiful expressions have -been heard about him. A friend, who admired and loved him, paid him this tribute today: "Living a life that breathed of char ity, tenderness and justice for his fel lows he could but win the admiration of those with whom he came in con tact. His entire acquaintanceship wa3 the field of his u friends jittheir jhrearts his conquest' None i was-. so n humble he could not tarry toi cheer-t-andii to.' help, if needs be and. during, his, com panfonship, the very atmosphere seem ed made lighter by his presence. His thoughts were always first fori others' last for himself. , Candid ins manner, conservative, just and able intiopinion fearless in duty, with a remarkable discernment for the rights and needs of others and with a heart that ever beat Warm for the happiness and betterment of the world, he possessed every attribute of the truly noble man. The Child who romped the streets heard his happy greeting, and loved him with that love than which there is hone purer ; the old darky who bowed to him as he passed, or tipped his bat tered old hat, was -answered with a smile arid a word of cheer and had murmured back to him 'God bless you,' and others with whom he came in con tact felt the brightness of his com panionship and admired him, and all grieve today at his passing. He had a well informed mind a veritable treasure house - of rich knowledge and a heart of the most generous im pulses from which to draw from, but there was never the slightest touch of the ostentatiousness. Men who wore the gray, and who had faced the cannon's mouth, In those terrible days of the South's dearest and greatest chivalry arid fortitude, have told us how John E. Crow stood by their side, - and. the writer's '. own recollections sweet re membrance, it: is dating back from childhood, tells, him of . the other beau tiful traits of character of this man who was so suddenly cut down by the Grim Reaper, leaving a desolate place in many hearts, -but only to add -new lustre to the Golden Haven of Souls. The writer had known him1 for years and had loved and admired blm duf ing - every rainute of that time.-' He will "remember him with love, tomor row . and the next day and then, the next and the next, until ; Eternity The worldrtop,; will - miss him; his world that he brightened and enriched will miss himJ It will mourn - for him." :'- i i MiiiitMtiut&i ' ...
