Watermelon Rad Necklaces and a
Tomato shampoo.

FAR ROCKAWAY, l.. l., Aug. g.
Much Indignation Is expressed here
among the cottagers and Summer hotel
guests over the quantity of garbage and
refuse matter that floats ashore daily
from the garbage scows which are
dumped off shore here.
Many stories are told by individual
guests OF their experience in lodging
this stun while in bathing. one young
woman ran foul of the dead body OF a
cat: another found her neck encircled
by q watermelon rlnd. The bathing
dress of another was profusely decorated
with old cabbage leaves. Corn husks
covered the bald head of one male
swimmer. while the contents of an old
and over-ripe tomato trickled over the
face OF another
This refuse has been particularly thick
and. offensive during The past few days.
The hotelmon are as much incensed over
II as the boarders, as II hurts their busi-
ness.
John j. Rogers, proprietor OF the Uni
ted States Hotel. to-day told a reporter
that n man and his wife. whose name he
declined to reveal, registered at his
hotel yesterday with the intention Of
spending some time there. They antici-
patel enjoying the surf hG thing.
When they saw the scum of the gar
bage scows strewn along the Beach
they abandoned the idea OF a bath with
disgust and returned to the hotel. They
said that II the water was no cleaner
to-day they would return to their home
This only an expression OF the feeling OF
others.
Mr., Rogers further said:
"Richard Gibson President of the Far
Rockaway Board OF Health, IL the pro-
prietor OF a bathing house on the beach
II would appear to be to his interest to
continuance of it will undoubtedly in.
jure his business. Yet neither in his In.
divfdual capacity nor ns President OF
the Roard OF Health. has Mr.. Gibson

The garbage still continues to come
upon the beach.
