FiBcnwoon Pass, - on the Philadelphia and Western Railroad, an 111 starred venture, which lost tbousands of dollars for Its promoters, wss put np at public sale last week but was withdrawn, as tbe bids offered were unsatisfactory. The park was built about live years ago, and more than 1100,000 was expended In Its construction, but It was a failure from the very start owing to the (act of Its long distance from, the city, a double fare to reach It by train and trolley, and the tact that a ten cent admission fee was charged all contributed to its unpopularity. The park never opened after' Its first season. ' TBI city authorities latend advertising for offers to lease the big convention hall, at Broad Street and Allegheny Avenue, where the saengerfest re- cently took place. The Immense auditorium meas- ures 400 by 250 feet, and has a seating capacity of 20.0OO. The building Is Ideal for all sorts of big enterprises, and, as It Is Intended to remain there for five years, there will no doubt be plenty of offera for the huge structure. farbondnle, Pa. — Grand (J. 0.
