ASBURY PARK, N. j., July "A, 1897
The latest novelty which the summarizes
have invented to entertain themselves with
is the bicycle hop. Bicycling has taken the
town by storm So much enamored are the
ladies and gentlemen with the sport that
the suggestion was quite natural that a
short-skrt and knckerbocker ball be ar
RAJ ged. The thing was tried at one or
two of the smaller hotels, but the first
elaborate one was held last night at the
Hotel Columbia on the piazzas. Everybody
was attired in regulation bicycle costume
Instead of silks and point lace, the ladies
appeared, most of them, in short skirts,
but one or two in boomers. So marked
was the success of the occasion that the
other large hotels are preparing to follow
suit, and the novelty bids fair to become
a genuine fad at this resort.

season on this part of the Jersey coast will
be the bicycle meet at the athletic grounds

the ladies' race, which caused considerable
excitement and amusement. The hotel pro-

many runs from the different hotels in
neighboring towns are made each week.
While bicycling is taking up good deal of
time. the usual summer sports are not be-
