Tha ' gate receipt aggregated a trifle mora ' than 1100 and were divided between Mrs. 'Shields, who waa managing tha affairs of 4ier husband while ha la 111 1n Tacoma, and tha band that furnlahed ' the music. The going down of tha cur tain laat night marked tha close of 1 Shields'.' park, not only. for the aeaaon, ' but. It la said, for all time.

Thla proposition Was accepted. Than followed other difficul ties. Band Leader Tarry wanted ail of tha receipts, or no.muslo, but was at last' willing to go on with tha perform ance and take a portion of tha receipts. Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights trouble occurred, tha players demanding money, when there waa nona to dlabursa among them, but kept up their parte hoping to gat a little.
