REPAIRING THE BLUFF!

white wings thatseem to have been painted

The Ocean Drive, the glory of the
Branch, was badly damaged last winter
by the sea. 1t hardly seems possible
that the water could get over the bluff,
which is fully thirty feet high, but it did,
and in places took the bluff away with it.
The roadway ran close to the edge, SO
that in spots it was ruined.
A United States engineer says he will
put down bulkheads every 200 feet from
the Iron Pier, to Elberon and guarantee
that the beach will make instead of lose.
That will cost great deal Of money, but
it seems to be the last chance to have the
valuable hotel property facing on the
ocean, to say nothing of the driveway and
the bathing facilities, without which tho
hotels would not be able to compete with
Eastern summer resorts. nsei,s,
The big break begins at the east end
of the Rowland House. It is about 500
feet long. To get around it the stages
have to run about 800 feet inland on a
poor road, which is unpleasant and de-
lays one. There is force of men at
work with pile drivers building up the
I bluff, again, and their labors are watched
daily by hundreds of people. Il is one

After the lovelorn maidsns and tho
romping children have retired, the gen
tlemen disappear from the hotels. They
steer for one or two high rings Of lights
that seem to hang in the air, so high are
they above all else at Long Branch.
Beneath the domes wherein these lights
are hung are spacious circular rooms ex-
tTavagantly furnished and beautiful to
look upon. Sometimes it is expensive to
look upon them when the ball goes round,
for they are gambling rooms. The rooms
are attractive and are visited nightly by
hundreds of men, not all Of whom are
by any means professional gamblers.
They are the centers Of life after, ten
o'clock, and remain so until the circles
of light above them pale in the growing
morn. The frequenters are mostly busi-
ness men, who never enter gam
bling house In the city, but who feel a
little wicked when away for the summer.
They seldom play beyond certain limit,
although now and then one'lcses his head
and consequently his cash in anattempt
to break the bank. A very generous and
well served supper is provided every
night and it is quite the thing, even for
men who don't gamble to drop in about
that hour to lounge about and watch the
play. Women when they go the seashore
do not leave their curiosity at home.
Even the most demure would give more
than her old gloves just to see the inside
of one of those wicked places.-Meso Yorl
