AsBURY PARK. July "a. 1899. Barely
does the season open at Asbury Park
before there is a series of conventions
following 50 closely upon one another
to convene when another begins, while
it sometimes happens that two separate
bodies are holding their meetings at once
Last week it was the Ladies Catholic
Benevolent Association. which arrived
with It's hundreds ON incoming trains, and
this week it is the Commercial Law
League.
This organization comprises several
hundred Of the most prominent lawyers
from almost every State in the Union,
and trains laden with the followers OF
Blackstone began to arrive early this
morning so that by three this afternoon,
when the League went into session for
the fifth year, the park overhowed with
these lawful transients who during their
weeks stay wMl make the Hotel Bruins
wick their headquarters.
The park has prepared to give the
lawyers a. glorious reception. This even
ing there is to be a reception and informal
dance. On Tuesday morning the delegates
are to be formally and royalty welcomed
by Mayor Ten Brock and Hon. James A.
Rradlev. when responses viii be made by
member Of the League. the days session
closing with the election of officers in
the evening. Thursday Governor voor-
hoes is to make an address, while the
social programme is most rentralling.
Wednesday there is to be a bicycle rice
with supper at Point Pleasant or Long
Branch and return by moonlight. ON
Thursday evening a clambake on shark
River has been planned in place of the an
nlal banquet. and on Friday evening
there is to be d bail There will also
probably be given in honor of the lawyers
q special carnival on Wesley Lake, with
fireworks. so tia altogether the y
convention will doubtless be the most at
traetive or the season.
At the dentists convention of last week
the following officers we're elected for the
ensuing year.

Mr.. Bradley, ever busy scbesning to inn
prove his ocean front and add to its at
fractions, has this year added to the list
a number of stereopticon views illustrat-
ing songs rendered evenings at the foot
Of First avenue, where a crowd is always
assembled. Here the promenade is I'M
usually wide and can we'll accommodate
the little pavilion erected thereon where
in stand the singer and s~tereopticon oper-
ator. together with the assembled crowd.
Another change made to enhance the
hoard walks attractions is in moving the
band stand in the Asbury avenue pavilion
to the north side. There has been some
complaint this year that save when
there happened to be a wins the music
was not effective on account of its west
ern position, and Mr.. Bradley thinking
the matter over one morning at break
fast came to the conclusion that the band
would do better on the north side of the
pavilion. BY night he had the stand,
which he christened the wilbur stand, =
in honor of DR.. G. F. Wilbur. Chairman
of the Music Committee, erected. On Fri
day evening, the first appearance of the
band in its new location, DR. Wilbur oc-
cupied a chair draped in red, white and
blue while the band played Hail to the
Chief Mr.. Bradley was present and
went away satisfied that the change is
an Improvement is the force of the music
is doubled.

terday in the casino, where the Rev.

ing and Responsibility Of Riches in the

religious nature, and Saturday saw the
