Great improvements have been made there during the past few months, and the result is a second Coney Island. Great pavilioñs for dancing and refreshment have been built immediately on the waters edge. Board walks, fountains, rustic work and rustic seats have been provided, and the grand sandy beach which heretofore depended solely on its bathing attractions has been trans fermed into an attractive summer resting place.
