ASBURY PARK, N. J., August "a, 1900.
The third Sunday in August always marks
the elimination Of the season on the north
Jersey coast The chilly weather that pre-
vailed the first of the week scared the boni-
faces somewhat but the return of sunshine
on Wednesday has tripled the daily ar
rivals. until now there are very few vacant
rooms at any of the prominent hotels. The
Coleman House, the Ocean, West End, Ho-
tel Brunswick, Columbia and some others
for several days have been turning away
guests.
Miss Mary Y. Ridgeway of Washington,
a guest OF the Grand Avenue Hotel, is ad-
judged by a competent committee Of young
gentlemen there to have the prettiest foot
of any woman at that hotel. This was the
decision Of the committee at the "Trilby
party held there last Saturday night. The
party was a decided innovation on this
for the participants that they have been
keeping out Of sight this week for fear that
some of the camera fiends would get their
photographs. The ''Trilby party" was got
up as a break in the monotony of euchre
parties, dress hops, etc, and the partici-
pants intended that it should be quiet af-
fair. with the spectators confined to the
guests of the house. But the fact that
there was to be 'Triby party got into
one Of the local papers. and the result was
that long before the hour set for the six
teen young ladies and matrons to protrude
their feet from under the white curtain.
back Of which they were lined up the hotel
was packed with people eagerly showing
one another to get a. view Of the ball room,
place. The public did not. however get
very near to the rowlof daintily stockinged
feet. That privilegelVwas reserved for the
three young gentlemen judges. Miss RidR-
ways foot was selected as deserving the
first prize because Of it's high arch Her
prize was a long gold chain with a "Trll-
by" heart. -
Kite flying. on the beach is the latest d.
version for the boys, and some Of the girls
too. From so to 100 kites are lowering over
the beach every afternoon
The social functions at the hotels this
week nave been the most elaborate OF the
season. The children at the Hotel Bruins
wick held a masque ball. to which over 100
participa ted; the masques ball at Sunset
Hal was a gorgeous affair, In which the
costumes represented those Of many CEN
turtles and ages. and the mysterious ger
man at the Lafayette was a fitting climax
for the many brilliant events that have de-
lighted the guests Of that hotel this sum-
mer.
