The Sunday train question. like Banquos
ghost refuses to down" A month ago
Asbury Parks residents had made up their
minds that Ocean Grove had seen a great
light" for a disposition was displayed on
the part of the liberal members OF the camp
meeting association. who were temporarily
In control OF affairs. and when the request
for Sunday trains was made they failed to
deny it. and, in consequence. for whole
month Asbury Park enjoyed the privilege
OF having the trains of both railroads stop
at the North Asbury station About a
week ago the association held secret ses-
sion. and Immediately thereafter the an
nouncement was put forth that there would
be no more Sunday trains. No explanation
was vouchsafed and repeated application
TO leading members of the association
brought forth nothing further than that
the Sunday schedule would be abandoned.

a powder magazine. Asbury Parks leading
citizens. particularly the hotel men ana
members of the business community. were

ficials state that they are only too willing
to give Asbury Park the Sunday service.

association their hands are tied.
