ASBuRY PARK, July 10. 1S95.-Ihe
"City by the Sea- Is still owned by d.
cycles and boomers, n the summer
girl has learned that. alas! all her pref
ty clothes are of nc account WheT
matched against the boomers.
During last week the L. A. w. held
sway with a rod of iron. AID every one
in the town tried to do them honor.
Even a first class war was waged, ow-
ing to the treatment by the Asbury Park
Wheelmen of an attractive Afro-Ameri-
can wheelwoman and member of the
Boston L.. A. w. This young woman,
ON account of her color, was refused the
courtesies extended TO the other mem
bers of the League of the Asbury Park
Wheelmen. and through the columns of
the local papers all manner of dire ca
tastrophies are predicted as a conse-
quence of her ill-treatment.
Saturday night the summer girl mad
her revenge. All the principal hotels of
the place gave full dress hops in honor
of the bicycle meet, and while the BIZ
cycle girl couldn't attend in her boomers
the summer girl was in her element.
The bathing is delightful this summer.
The beach is not as uneven as 1t was
last summer. but slopes beautifully.
Yesterday morning the bathing was es-
pecfally good. The temperature Was
warm. there was no under tow to speak
of. and at swimming depth there were no
breakers. There have been a few accl-
dents this season, but no drowning as
vet. All the people seem to have been
able to get out without help from the
bathing master.
MR.. WINTERS MISHAP.
MIR. Winters from Jersey City. who
came down yesterday on the Y. M. G. A.
excursion. was bathing at Lillagon's
pier. and swan beyond his depth without
being conscious of it. Before he was
able to reach shore he went down under
water once, but finally got to the beach
without assistance. He was in an ex-
hausted condition, but after an hours
rest. on the sand, returned again to the
surf.
The Y. M. C. A. excursion yesterday
brought a number of people down for the
day. Fourteen cars We're used, but
MANY of the people went to Sea Grit in
the afternoon to see the "boys in blue
At both Sea Girt and Asbury a cool sea
breeze added to the enjoyment of the
day. The boys of the Fourth welcomed
their friends with generous hospitality,
and went through the drills admirably.
The grounds were thronged with spec
tators. many of whom came from AS
bury Park, Belmar, Brielle, and resorts
along the coasts. Civilians were at a dis
count. and the summer girl was not
happy who had not at least one gallant
member of the Fourth to do the nom
ors.
