ASBURY PARK, n. j.. June -. 1900.
The season. which opened SO auspciously
over week ago. has advanced with rapid
strides this week until the hotels have on
their hands of the largest crowds for
the end of June they have ever seen. The
spell of torrid weather the first of the
week brought an infltx of visitors that
made the bonifaces jubilatc and the
boarding house keeper smiingl. happy.
All the attractions of II { resort are now In
full swing. Senator B1adley's bathing
Establishments are all open and doing a bust
ness considerably aheal of last years of
the corresponding date The last of the
bathing establishments, that al the foot of
Asbury avenue opened on Monday. Mr..
Bradley announces that he will allow surf
bathing this year on Sunday. This an
nouncement meets the Measures of great
many summer folk who are in the habit
of coming in too late Saturday for a bath,
and they go away too early Monday morn
ing. There is a good Ceal of protestation
against this sunday battling by some of the
straight-laced Sabbatar ans of the resort.
but the Founder pas no attention to
them.
Founder Bradley is taking his defeat
in the Sunday train scheme very philosoph-
ically. He he has no quarrel Of
course. with the railroad company, which
is merely carrying out the contract with
the Camp Meeting Association not to stop
trains in Asbury Park Sundays. 1--WE
will have them some day, though" he says
Il am a compromise man, and II Ocean
Grove will not exhibit spirit of comp-o-
mise the outcome of this matter may be
that trains will stop a the main station
instead of North Asbury. which was a
compromise to Ocean Grove" Mr. Brad
ley said this with considerable warmth at
n rr,,nr
the general feeling about town is that IL
he starts to fighting Ocean Grove the con-
test will be a bitter
Lovemaking on the beach has received
this week what appears to be a knockout
blow at the hands of Senator Bradley
whose ownership OF the beach and whose
rigid ideas of conduct there have in former
years made him an object of fear to
"spooners. Mr.. Bradley has determined
to stop "spooning late in the evening
Last year he ordered his policemen to keep
strict watch on all the retired spots along
the beach, especially the stretch of sand at
the north end toward Deal Beach but this
week he went step further and provided
the officers with ten-candle pocket electric
lights stored away in imitation policemen
clubs These lights. when the cop pushes
a button. throw a strong stream of light
that banishes seclusion for all lovers who
undertake to spoon on the Founders s.
beach
The summer services at the Asbury Park
Auditorium will open tomorrow and will.
