week with the summer season just ended.

the arrival of aggregations of respectable
size fer an over-Sunday holiday

over the same is not true of the cottage
season. and comparatively few people who
have their houses down here have lett
There are occasional dances at the hotels,
but the summarizes depend more on OUT
side amusement than on that of any other
form for entertainment. Bathing has been
at its best all the week, and not day has
passed that did not witness hundred or
so of people disporting themselves in a Sep
TENDER surf of a temperature warmer than
that which obtains at any time during the
summer. There Is charm to September
bathing unknown to those who take ocean

from that part of the beach all the engines
and piling that he had accumulated there
preparatory to beginning work His time
limit expired some days ago, and since the
city is no longer bound by the agreement it
had with him. he proposes to erect pier
just north Of the Asbury line across the
Deal Lake fiume, in Lock Arbor, between
Asbury Park and Allenhurst. Should this
deal go through. the effect. would be prac-
tically the same as IL the structure had
been built as first planned, since II
could be as conveniently reached by Asbury
Parkers and would also cater to residents
OF Allenhurst and Deal, and those of the
Elberon section extending from Deal up
the shore to West End and Hollywood.
Plans of considerable magnitude calling
for new beach-front improvements are Row
projected by the city fathers, and many at
fractions will have been added to the beach
by another season.
