[OUNG|kG At LONG BEACH

LONG BEACH, July 2O.-The week
closing today has been an eveptful one
at this resort. What with the Chautau.
qua assembly gatherings, several public
meetings and entertainments outside of
the Chautauqua. bloody mur der and
suicide. two inquests by the coroner, i'm.
mense crowds at the beach and in the
surf, special trains at night and rash
of visitors coming from far and near.
this usually quiet old town has been very
wide wake. There was something to
suit all classes and all tastes. Who dare
say now that Long Beach is dull and un.
interesting?
The coming week will be fully as inter-
esting, with the exec ption, 1t IS to be
hoped. Of the tragical features of the pro-
gramme. Indications point TO lively
week AID many more accessions to the
already large numbers of visitors. Ho-
tells. rooming houses. private residences
and tents are being rapidly filled. though
as yet there is room for more people
here, and nobody need fear having to
sleep out Of doors. The air at the bea ch
is SIMPLY delicious. There has not as vet
been day nor an hour. no matter what
the condition i ok from the ocean, when
it was not possible for people here to be
perfectly comfortable, even at midday
and as for the nights. they axe cool
enough for anybody with clear con
science to sleep sonndly.
Inc surf has at last become sufficiently
warm to be. enjoyed by women and chill
dren as well as by robust men and the
extent to which the gentler sex and the
children OF various ages indulge in health
ful piunges into the briny water shows
good sense on their part. A distin-
guished minister lectured here last night
on the question. Will the Coming Woman
Marry? Whatever may be the prevailing
differences Of opinion on that question,
it is very certain that the coming woman
will swim, especially when she can have
a,chance to get into the surf ut Long
Beach. In fact the coming woman has
already come. And she swims like a
duck. She also dives like porpolse and
floats like cork.
There Will be all immense throng here
tomorrow to enjoy the splendid breeze,
sunshine. fishing, music, yachting and
swimming. And for all who may be re-
ligiously inclined there will be ample
provision. not on the beach, but in the
tabernacle. where professional religious
teachers propose to dispense spiritual
truth.
