There Is also a Witching Waves device on the grounds, located at the end of the Bowery. CREATION. One of the most divinely Impressive spectacles that the skill of man has ever Invented Is Cre- ation, which depicts the majestic drama of the birth of our world as told In the Bible. Occu- pying a beautiful buUding, erected at an ex- pense of $100,000, for the express purpose of its presentation, it is a monument to the confi- dence of expert showmen In the public's willing- ness to patronise shows of merit. This Is the fifth season of Creation at Rlvervlew. and Its every performance Is played to capacity. Crea- tion Is under the general management of Sam C. HaUer, whose similar spectacles at the exposi- tion In Seattle and elsewhere have given him a recognized position In the world of amusement. MONITOR AND MERRIMAC. This wonderful panorama of the most dra- matic and stirring event in our great Civil War is also under the direct general management of Sam C. Haller. Like Creation It occupies a spe- cialty constructed bunding, representing an out- lay of $100,000. In which everything ttuu win add to the comfort and pleasure of the patrons has been considered. Another feature that it has In common with Creation la the comfortable ante-room wherein the great crowds awaiting the next performance may sit luxuriously In massive leather and- wicker chairs, and contem- plate a series of beautiful paintings representing scenes or the great conflict of '61. The show Is much more than a panorama, depleting as It does the actual deploying of the Confederate battleship, Virginia or Merrimac, against the Federal vessels in Hampton Roads, with dire results to the latter, with Its final vanqulsh- ment by the Monitor, the "Tankee cheesebox on a plank," as ft waa contemptuously called by the Confederates. INFANT INCUBATORS. Near the Western Avenue entrance. In a beau- tiful little building buUt exclusively for that purpose, 'are the famous Infant Incubators, which have been the recipients of gold medals st the expositions in Berlin. '96: London, '97; Omaha, '98; Buffalo, 1901, and St. Louis, 1904. There are five Incubators, wherein Infants wblch are prematurely born, or other new-bora babies that are weak, are tenderly nursed. It Is s most In- structive show that appeals to every person, old or young. It Is under the proprietorship of Dr. M. A. Couney. SKATING RINK. For five years the Rlvervlew Roller Skating Rink, at the extreme south end of the park, has been making records In the world of ath- letics. The rink occupies a specially constructed and splendidly equipped bunding, the property of the Northwest Amusement Company, of which Mr. P.. T. Harmon Is president and manager. The floor area is 250x175 feet, with eight and a half laps to the mile. It Is the fastest track In the world, with a record of 2:27. Every afternoon and evening, winter and summer, the rink Is In operation and Is always crowded with merry skaters. A excellent orchestra, un- der the direction of Jesse M. So per, bandmaster. Is one of the features. (To be continued next week.) PATHE PASSION PLAY FOR RENT—PICTORIAL POSTERS, Holy City Song Slides. C J. MURPHY, Elyria, Ohio.
