The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1894-07-07
To the memory OF
JONAS JONES,
vino reached AShevilie,

The Eastern Snore editors accom- .
panied by their wives aud sweet hearts,
arrived a. the Park on Saturday evening,
and were driven to tine Atalaata Hotel,
which was made tho Association g head
quarters. Well had the ohoica of 3
such favorable conditions at the Alta
lanta, placad every one i'll a happy con
dition TO realize > full enjoyment OF
| Asbury Parks refined attractions and
environments. The situation of the
| Atalanta was conceded By the editors
| to be the best of all the hotels, its broad
| piazzas facing the ocean, and surrounded
| by we'll kept city squares away from any
| disagreeable environs, permitted OF a
| grand view of the ocean and an equally
| desirable enjoyment of the sea breezes,
which in addition to their refreshing ard
recuporatige qualities, lave the happy
faculty of driving away those proverbial
| Jersey "Skeders'', which take refuge
way back in the interior, many miles
distant from tho guests OF the Atalanta.
Speaking of the Atalanta aud its many
conveniences, excellent CUISINE and
attentive employees, one must personally
aud heartily shank Proprietor William
Applegate for his right royal and truly
eastern Shore" (of Maryland) welcome,
aud for his attention shown to all
throu ghout one S stay under his roottree.
On all hands came-'It | come back to
Asbury, aud | most certainly shall, mark
me down for room, M. Apologize"
Thoss who have never before visited
Asbury Park are likely to have formed
their ideas of the resort from the many
carlcasuras OF Founder James Bradley.
which appeared 10 the daily press 50
generally last year, when his so called
puritanic edicts, for the government and
maintenance of his creation on the Jersey
coast. were issued 1t is true that
Founder Bradley allows 10 drinking
pagilions or saloons in the park, and that
| notices to the effect
beer Wagons, Perambulating Speakeasies, ami
all other rascals are prohibited from thrusting
their miserable and profantng p Hns within
the sacred precints and premis' my estab-
lishmeEt here, are posted and there.
This system of government early com
mends itself to the visitor, who thinks
that Founder Bradley has been grossly
misrepresented, and that Bradley isn't
such bad fellow after all, because he
knows how to conduct seaside resort
| properly, and after the apple of his dis
eliminating eye. And while walking
along the boardwalk with au indepen-
dent air you see Bradley's handiwork:
"A lady shows as much modesty in her bathing
| suit as she does in the choice of her daily
costume. A word to the wise is sufficient"
| you again think that Mr.. Bradley knows
! a good thing when he sees 1t, and that
| there is no use in q woman making a
piece of ssatuary of herself for the
gaze OF the peeping multitude. Now
again where Mr.. Bradley shows his
chivalry is in the pavilions where your
eye fessts upon this proper injunction:
| "a lady neatly attired has certain inalienable
| rights which tobacco chewers must respect.
To the wise a word is sulticiency."
The moral of that is-ohew chewing gum,
Adams pepsin gum is as fins as silk.
All this, and the rigid enforcement OF
the ordinances by polite and efficient

These several drives were constantly
the scenes of q stream of carriages Of
which the members of the party form sc
a considerable number Bathing, walk
ing the boardwalk, dancing, chatting
and driving, formed the pleasing daily
occupation of all.
The meeting of the members of thu
