GAYETY AT ASBURY PARK.
Influx OF Visitors to the Park This
Year Unprecedented.

Drawing to y CIose-Plenty of Enjoy
ment for the Average Visitor to the
Popular Resorts ON the Atlantic Coast
Crowded Hotels Has Been tho Rule
amt Baggage-smasherS have Reaped a
Harvest
SPECIAL Correspondence Of Gazetteand journal
AsBuRY PARK, Aug. 20.-The middle
week in August usually marks the TURN
ing point in the season Of social gayety
at Asbury Park and the influx Of
visitors TO this place is Oh tine wane.
Whatever may have been the success of
this temperance town as summer
resort in former years this season has
surpassed all records and the high water
mark of visitors has surely been reached.
Neither the cry of hard times, the
monkeying with the Tariff bill nor the
war in the Orient has had the slightest
effect on Asbury Parks gayety and her
season has gone right on as though moth
ing whatever had happened or was
likely to happen within the mex.
twelvemonth The truth Of the matter
is that the average visitor has been his
own philosopher, and while he has felt
u natural interest in all topics of public
Importance, he has kept the even tenor
of his way, aud relied on the future to
solve the problem Of disrupted social
conditions.
The rush Of the past week has filled
many of the large hotels full to over
flowing, but the oldest inhabitant pre-
diets tina; the tide OF visitors will in
another week be broken. II was not an
unusual sight to sec the parlors Of the
leading hotels filled With cots, and in
one large hosiery in particular the
bowling alley was turned into an i'm
provised bed room. This did not prove
such bowling success as the proprietor
had imagined, however, for some OF the
guests seemed to regard the matter as
more Of Il joke than anything else, and
long before daylight began bowling
instead OF sleeping, and did not stop
until they had awakened three fourths
Of the hotel guests by their indscrimi-
nate knocking Of nine-pins. The fol.
lowing day the order for cots in the
bowling alley was revoked.
The number Of Wilmington visitors
this year is larger than ever and US the
place increases in popularity the influx
vi Delawareans also increases. While
u number have chosen the quiet of
Ocean Grove, the majority have pre-
terred to remain in the park where they
have been enjoying themselves i'm
menscly.
A daily plunge in the surf, rowing,
fishing, driving and a nightly dance at
the brunswick, Coleman or Ocean has
afforded 10 end Of enjoyment for the
average visitor, and number of Will
