Had the league lasted past 1915 there would have been night games at Washington Park. Light towers were being erected during the 1915 season. They were actually used in 1916 for semi pro games at the park.

"the incubator building" ran by Martin A. Couney.. gave away a free baby with every incubator you bought. Martin worked Coney Island for over 30 years... he claimed to have invented the incubators, he didn't. Wonder where Martin got all those free babies. 2000 men exactly.. for a total of $3,500,000 dollars Those aren't ancient constructions.. Mormons actually used giant stones larger than the Giza Pyramid. I believe

Every single Worlds fair type small cities like these with the beautiful archatecture the buildings with huge towers and spires with huge ponds and fountains senter square you could even ride boats with electric motors around in and entire city was lit up with an ammount of light bulbs never seen before each one hosting a technology never seen before. Every place very soon after it was built also had horriable fires or were torn down after a couple of years. And it wasn't just the incubators on display but real live premature babies fresh from the hospital who would have most likely died because they had no such equipment. SEeeeEEE THE TINY BABIES Only 25 cents. Saved Thousands of babies lives. Some went home and some got on the Orphan train without a name. Crazy times

I've been to Coney Island, in college a friend and I would spend a couple hours out there before we had to go to work. Went out there in winter to get Nathans hotdogs as a sort of demented tradition with a few college friends. But I had never even heard of Dreamland until I read a book recently (Escaping Dreamland by Charles Lovett) that included Dreamland. For that era, it must have been a breathtaking experience.

I watched a documentary many years ago and this incident was mentioned in it. This story always stuck with me, but it was a long time ago when I heard it so I may be wrong about some details; but basically what happened is the park at the time had animals as part of its attractions. One day, a handler was messing around with the elephant named Topsy. He put a cigar up her trunk. Topsy reared back in reaction and trampled the man. I don’t think he was killed, but needless to say, the heads of the theme park wanted to get rid of her after this. The thing is, having an elephant imported to the US is expensive, so they decided that if they were to kill her, they’d have to try and make some money from it, rather than just accept their losses. So they advertised her electrocution as a special event. It was filmed, and according to news outlets at the time, “the most humane killing of an animal”. I believe she was hung, electrocuted and shot at the same time to make her death as quick as possible. It’s really awful, particularly because Topsy was just defending herself from the handler who was being reckless, but she took the blame for it. It shocks me too that they made a day out of killing an elephant for onlookers to “enjoy”, but I guess that’s what the world was like back then :/
