A complete change In the weather which
came Wednesday morning has entirety
changed the aspect OF things here Where
as. until that time everybody wore a list
less air readily understood when one re-
membered the ten preceding days Of steady
rain, summer visitors have since then borne
the countenance of Sunny JIM The
latter part OF the week was marked for its
cool. stimulating atmosphere and bright
sunshine. It was just the weather OF Sep
TENDER, and that at the shore means the
best the year affords.
The effect has been Immediately notice
able In the round of gay dances started
up and the ardor with which people enter
into all active sports. Bathing is the only
seashore diversion the patronage Of which
has dropped OF. for during the former
murky days every one made for the water,
SO that the bathing crowds were sweiied to
abnormal proportions. Lately. however.
they have gone automobiifng, sailing on
Barnegat bay and Shark river. canoeing on
Deal lake and also driving. A favorfte
rendezvous has been the Hollywood grounds
at Long Branch where the famous Mon
mouth county horse show VIII finish to-
night.
The watchtower Bible Society with up
ward of 100 delegates here has been IN
convention all the week at the beach audi
the management of DR.. G. 7. Russell, the
president. He did not arrive until Wednes-
day and one of his first acts was to call OH
the public baptism of seyenty-f1ve converts
which, 1t had been announced, would take
place Thursday afternoon In the surf.
Fault was found with Its notoriety, for sew
eraf professional photographers made ar
rangements to take pictures to be used in
biograph reproductions OF the scene Inc
baptism accordingly took place in the beach
auditorium.
Speculation as to who will be chosen
queen of the Asbury Park baby parade Is
running high, for Frank B. Conoyer OF the
Coleman House Miss Morgan OF the Bruins
wick, and Mrs. Jesse Minot OF the Minot
House, who constitute the queens commit
tee, have now reached point IN their
consideration of candidates for the throne
where their choice has narrowed down TO
three or four young women and among
these are said to be two Philadelphians.
Several young women who have been con-
sidered in this connection were carefully
watched by the committee when In attend
ance at ball in the Coleman House re-
Gently and there their grace and beauty
were compared They. of course. did not
know of the inspection.
A decided innovation will be seen this
year In the coronation of Queen Titania.
Realizing that a new feature was most
desirable President Arthur Hope of the
carnival commission hit upon the happy
thought of producing the coronation as q
ingly he has made arrangement whereby
the coronation Of the baby queen will be in
troduced very cleverly into 1.-The Little
Duchess" Anna Heid's favorite comedy.
This play with its original cast, Countess
Olga Won Hatzfeldt starring, will be given
at the Casino on Tuesday evening, August
