A QUIET WEEK AT LONG BRANCH.
BENEFIT ENTERTAINMENTs-P REPARrNG FOR
THE HARVEST NOON FESTIVAL.

Long Branch. ~ J., Aug. Il (SpeciaD Scarcely
week goes bv but what Long Branch is heard from
in some pronounced way, but for wonder the
last six davs are likely to pass into history with
out this resort contributing anything OF note to
DISTINGUISH this week from that Of the most or
binary in the calendar. The nearest approach
to an incident is the crime committed in the small
hours of last Sunday at Monmouth Park racetrack
in the seemingly unprovoked killing of John Chew
by Patrick : Donovan. Both men were well
known in the clubs and about the hotels of this
place and the tragedy has afforded fruitful theme
Of conversation and gossip during the week among
all classes Of sojourners as well as the natives
OF one fact which this exhibition Of lawlessness
has brought about everybody speaks freely. and
that is the certain doom of Monmouth Park, at
least under its present management.
Society is in nutter here over the forthcoming
Harvest Moon Festival and Floral Parade. which
Is apIv one short week away. The most elabo-
rate nroparatlons are under way for this great
fete. and society people are making much OF the
limited time left in which to finish the arrange
mcnts for this most beautiful pageant.
