yards occupy seventy acres of land on the
Fore river and will contain a ship-tool

LONG BRANCH, N. j., August 30, 1900.
This resort seems certain to have the
heaviest September season in its history
The summer folk used to desert the coast
with the arrival of September, but this
wear the bookings at the hotels so
heavy that nearly all the hotels have ar
ranged to remain open until the end of the
month. The members of the cottage colony
will, of course tarry until October.
Plans are forming for driving associa-
ton which next season will hold races every
Saturday during July and August. This
news makes "the Branch" think of the
good old times when Monmouth Park was
at its height Among the men who are
interested in the new venture are ex-Sena-
tor Edward Murphy Of New York, a cot
tager at Elberon; Nathan Strauss of New
York and Michael Murphy and r. Percy
Dobbins of Philadelphia.
One Of the most brilliant social events of
the summer was the proprietors' ball at
the Eiberon, when the fashion of the north
Jersey coast crowded the Casino.
The last big event for the summer folk
will be the second annual horse show at
Norwood Park. which will be held on
September 10.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Moore are rep

He Feeds the Cats.
From the Now York Sun.


One of the curious problems to many
households each summer Is how to take
care of the cat while the family is away in
the country. and son of a janitor of a big
apartment house on the West Side has
solved IL this year to the satisfaction of
every cat owner on certain block. Ma
ture cats do not take kindly to summer
migra tons. and IN cases where the family
are going TO a hotel il is impossible TO take
the cat along. Not a few women who are
spending the summer within easy distance
of New York come to town two or three
times a week 10 feed their cats. This jani-
tors son canvassed a block of houses early
In the spring and offered to assume the
care of cats during the summer for a mod
est compensation, which was much less
than the cat owners expenses would be to
travel to town and look after the animal
herself. He had references TO establish his
honesty and he secured the cat job from
every woman who was compelled to leave
her cat behind. Twice day she makes the
rounds, leaving water and food for each
