How the Day Will BE Celebrated Mt
This SrnxhOre Resort
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
ASBURY PARK. N. J.. July l. 1897
The fact that the Fourth will be celebrat-
ed on Monday, and that visitors will be en-
abled to enjoy a three days outing, with
out missing business day, has done much
to swell the throng that has poured into
Asbury Park during the past few days
The advent of the warm weather has also
done much to soften the hearts of the hotel
proprietors and bring smiles TO their faces.
Until this week matters looked very blue
for the majority of them. A complete reac-
ton has set In. The crowd is here and
there is nothing less than an earthquake
that can send them away before Septem-
her.
Many Of the big hotels will inaugurate
the social season with a Saturday night
ball. and nearly every hotel in the resort
will give dress hop on Monday night.
The exhibition of fireworks that will be
given at the 9Th avenue and the beach on
Monday night of the 9TH will eclipse every
thing in the line that has ever been given
at this portion of the coast. The commit
tee appointed by the board of trade nave
gathered a large subscription that will go
up In colored fire and smoke. Dancing will
commence at the hotels at the conclusion
OF the display.
An Aquatic Display.
Senator James A. Bradley is planning
matters 80 that summer guests may enjoy
pretty aquatic display during the high
tides. and especially when the wind Is
strong from the east. Early this spring the
waves washed out much of the sand along
the base of the boardwalk, near the As
bury avenue pavilion. A heavy bulkhead
was construct ted here, and when the waves
struck 1t they dashed into the air, attain
ing height some times of thirty feet or
| more. Instead of building the boardwalk
over the edge of the bulkhead so the dis
play would be spoiled, the planking has
been carried out some distance. and has
left large space between the two walks
so that when the becomes rougn the
waves will have plenty of room to spread
themselves in the air to the delight of the
people on the beach.
Senator Bradley Is as strong as ever in
his determination to keep Asbury Park a
prohibition town as far as possible and
OF sp!rituous beverages in any way.
me following are recent arrivals from
Washington:

At Spring Lake.
Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star


SPRING LAKE, N. J.. July 1, 1897.
This resort takes its name from a beauti-
full sheet of water in the center Of a tract
Of 500 acres Of arabic land. The lake is
not pond formed by drainage from higher
ground, but living lake fed by springs.
This lake adds immensely to the beauty of
the place and gives lovely setting to the
beautiful cottages that are built around it,
The famous old Monmouth House stands
on a fine plateau Of seven acres. lying be-
tween the foot of the lake and the ocean
and within 200 feet of both. The Mon
mouth long ago won a place among the ho-
tells on the Atlantic coast which Is second
to none. and many Of the guests of former
years are returning to avail themselves
again of its hospitality.
The most prominent arrival of the week
at Spring Lake was Justice Field Of the
United States Supreme Court. With lis
wife and family he will spend at least a
month at this resort. He is stopping at
the Sussex.
