and scandal are the inevitable outcome of close
confinement in a seaside hotel. Fortunately,
this part of the Atlantic seaboard during the
summer; and nowhere else probably. are the
people SO much out-of-doors as here.
Bathing began yesterday afternoon when the
clouds rolled away and warm southern
breeze displaced the northeast wind which
here is ever forboding and omnous. Hundreds
were battling with the surf all along the Ocean
Grove and Asbury Park beaches. Some hardy
people here battle in the ocean regularly from
the FIRST of May or middle of April until very
late in autumn. They seem none the worse
for it; but bathing for the masses was begun
yesterday at the regular hours, from TO In
the afternoon. Prospects for bright summery
weather are now most excellent, and in conse-
Quence bathing is more general than ever be-
fore SO early in the season.
At no place on the coast is there as much
bathing as here. One reason of this is that the
accommodations for bathers are better and
safer here than can be secured anywhere else
In the world. For Is cents suit, towels and
. good room are given. Checks are gwen
for valuables without n5a extra ,ots charge,
Asbury Park and Ocean Grove are stationed
from two to five bathing masters at each point
where the bathing lie good. These men are
hardy fellows, expert swimmers and trained
for their responsible duties. Carefully pro
tected while battling with the breakers, the
bather emerges and rushes for ms room.
Should the stranger find difficulty In finding
his place on the labyrinthian passages, he viii
have the assistance of polite attendants who
will also bring him a pail of fresh water and
other accessories for toilet making.
