ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.1
AsBURY PARK, Aug. brilliant ballroom
scenes, gay lake carnivals, gorgeous pyro-
technical displays and merry riding and
fishing parties have made this the most
memorable week of the present season. The
whirl of gaiety began with arrival of thou
sands of young people a week ago. To-
night the entire place is ablaze with light
and through the open windows and doors of
the numerous hotels are the fitting forms Of
the dancers. The piazzas are filed with
men and women In evening attire covered
with precious stones. The towns gay night
has drawn thousands from the precincts of
staid Ocean Grove, across the lake, while
hundreds more line the shore, or occupy
more elevated places where the festivity
of the more worldly Asbury Park sojouru-
ers can be watched and commented upon.
Dancing, flirting, singing, fill the nights.
Fishing, only the day. Never did fishermen
have better success than here this summer
Two long piers, devoted to fishing only, now
reach out yards into the sea from both the
Asbury Park and Ocean Grove beaches.
Except the hours from midnight to or
O'Clock in the morning these piers are never
deserted Gay or night. Some of the largest
catches have been made here at night. The
heaviest bass of the season, caught with
hook and line, was taken Wednesday night
by c. Harry Showaker, of Philadelphia. 1t
weighed l2s4 pounds. This is one and one
fourth pounds heavier than the catch that
took the gold medal in 1890. 1t is rather
doubtful If this heavy beauty will be soon
surpassed for line and reel can hardly
manage creature of greater weight and
equal activity. None but fishermen of
varied experience can reasonably hope to
land fish of even half that weight from the
high piers.
