| Founder Bradley is making his annual
| attack on the young folks who put on their
| bathing suits at their cottages and then
| walk through the streets and on the plank
| promenade to the beach The founder"
| makes an annual attack on this class of
summerites, as he does on the beer-ark
| yenders. There is no statute prohibiting a
| person from parading the streets IN a bath
ing suit, but it is probable that the senator
| VIII do his best to get an ordinance passed.
| The National Summer School of Music
| which is holding its eastern session at the
High School building. is being very largely
/ attended. The faculty includes some of the

Miss Grace Miller of Baltimore, William
! Flint of Galveston, Tex, and Frank Hoyt
| OF Brooklyn attracted a good deal of at
tention TO themselves and raised consider
| able excitement this week by breaking the
| Asbury Park swimming record. They heard
| that senator Bradley was going to have a
| long-distance swimming match in August
| and so they made up their minds to practice
! a little for 1t. They went into the water at
| 4th avenue, swan about a quarter of a
| mile out to sea and then turned south
| toward Ocean Grove. They came ashore
| at Ross pavilion, three quarters of a mile
| from the starting point. Their progress
was watched by thousands Of people on the
| board walk.
The bicycle enthusiasts at the Hotel
| brunswick have reorganiZed the Bruins
| wick Bike Club, which for half dozen
years has been the largest bicycle club
! among the hotels. Capt. Benjamin Ferrier
OF Of Jersey City has been Reelected. and Mr..
| VIII Dean, master of ceremonies at the
| Brunswick, is guide; Mr.. George Brandon
| is bugler, and the boss biker'' is Mrs. c.
| B. Woods. A series of evening runs has
been begun TO the resorts up and down the
| coast.

| Founder Bradley had another chance
| few days ago TO exhibit his eccentricity.
| The Founder has great fondness for
| giving admonftion to the people who throng
| his board walk and beach; so when the
storm last week drove ashore big log the
| shape of a butchers block, he had it placed
| high on the beach, seat put on 1t and a
| pIacard on which are these words: Drift
| Stuff. These words are familiar to all rer-
| sons who know anything about the Attain
| tic shore. This drift stuff comprises a hit
| tie OF everything. This seat came ashore
| with other refuse. 1t may meet the eye
| of some poor fellow who has lost his place
| and caste and regards himself as simply
| drift wood. Don't be discouraged, but sit
| down on this log and think of what the
| poet Tennysea said: That men may rise
| on stepping stones of their dead selves to
| higher things.
TaIly-no rides are the popular thing just
| now al this resort. They threaten to su-
| persede trolley parties. About dozen big
| tally-ho companies have been out this week
| and a regular taliy-ho line has been estab-
| Iished between Allenhurst and the other
| resorts along the coast
| Mrs Roger @. Mills. wife of Senator Mills
| of Texas, IS a guest again at the Hotel
Brunswick, where she has spent part of the
| summer for several summers.
