Speculation as to the Baby Show
Pink Sunbonnets-Piaxxa Dances.


Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
ASBURY PARK. n. J.. July IL, 1900
Whether or not the annual baby parade
is to take place this year is one question
that is now worrying the fond mammas
and proud papa5 OF this section of the
coast. II was Founder Bradley who, ten
years ago, conceived the novel idea Of lining
up al the children on the north Jersey
coast and having them parade up and
DOWN his plank walk. The parade has been
the one distinctive feature of the season at
Asbury Park since 1891. Last year there
were between 800 and 900 tots In the pro-
cessiOn. The founder" who considers HIM
self the father and fosterer of the parade.
says that he cannot look after 1t this year.
No one as yet has come forward who seems
capable Of managing the show, and there
fore its continuance is imperiled.
Two or three new fads have developed
this week. The piazza dance is one of them
and from present Indications 1t will be the
dominant fad of the season. The young
folks take great pains in decorating the
piazzas and in illuminating them for these
novel hops.
nering here have arranged a tennis tourna-
ment. which is to open on Monday at the
Educational Hall courts.
The summer girl has taken to wearing
sulbonnets- The color she affects is pink.
Occasionally you see few white ones but
pink predominates.

frequent the leys daily. getting ready for
