by the Camp Meeting Association by
holding camp meeting later in the season
TO keep the place crowded. is beginning
not only to look but to be deserted. The
boardwalk evidences this most clearly
and not even the beach band has the
power to attract a large audience. In
the hotels and cottages people look lonely,
they are SO few and so far between.
/ but because their numbers are few they
feel that an extra effort is necessary to
keep them alive and the hotels have con-
| stantly all sorts Of amusements, from the
! old-time donkey and bean tag parties to
| hops and even erman and eotillions.
The Hotel Brunswick. where Mrs.
| Charles H. Winfield. Mrs. W. w. Farrier
and Mrs. Helen Refill are staying has
been especially gay of late. Ont enter
| tainment has followed another and in ali
these three ladies participated. At the
regular weekly hop Mrs. Winfield wore a
Charming gown Of white satin. Mrs. Far
! rier's gown was of pink brocaded satin
| and wore a handsome gown of lavender
and green mousseline de sole. One night
there was a college german at the Bruins
wick and all the ladies dancing adorned
| themselves with the celors of their favor
| lite college. The colleges represented were
Princeton. Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania and University
of Tennessee. Mrs. Rehill with her
escort led the grand march. The figures
were many Of them novel n they were
danced to college music.
Bicycles and bicyclists seem to trouble
the ordinance makers of the places along
the coats. Long Branch has had several
skirmIshes about them and their doings
and she has endeavored by constantly
making and unmaking bicycle rules to
keep bicyclists in a state of constant un-
certainty as to whether by ringing a bell
they are violating some unknown law
and will be sent to Jail, or whether the
violation is done by not ringing a bell.
Now, however, the authorities have issued
an edict in the shape of another ordinance
which they hope and bicyclists pray will
settle the matters. The ordinance now
is that all bicyclists must carry a lighted
lantern after dark, where. is not speei-
fed, and must ring a bell when approach
ing pedestrians or take the consequences.
The ~nsequences are five dollars fine or
three days in the county Jail. Asbury
Park is struggling with the question
and with probably the same result.
