ASBURY PARK, June 26, 1906
The last Sunday in June at this resort
proved a record breaker for the hotel
people. Saturdays trains were jammed
full Of summer vasitors from noon day
on, and they practically emptied them
selves at the north and the lower sta
tions here. Sunday night the beach was
as crowded as at any time in mid-season.
During the morning hours between four
and FIVE thousand availed themselves of
the bathing privilege. The water regis
tered 65 degrees, and was thoroughly en-
joyable. Hotel men say only small
proportion of the late registration are
| those of people who come for few
days only, and that their bookings for
the month of July are heavier than they
lshava ever been.
This week saw the opening of all de-
partments of Ocean Groves religious
lssummer services. except that Of the
Young Peoples meetings. They will be
inaugurated next Sunday. At 9 o'clock
there was holiness meeting in the tab
ernacle, and an hour later Bishop Luther
B. Wilson opened the religious services
in the Auditorium. This big building,
which seats 10000 people, was about
half filed Such an attendance at the
initial meeting of the season is consider,
! ed unusually heavy.

primary Sunday schools We're organized

The summer course in library science,
| which has been held for the last five
weeks under the management of the New
Jersey Library Association in AsburJ
Park, was closed Saturday. The exam
ination given the young ladies was ex-
ceptional in this, that instead of the or
binary questions and answers, they were
given the actual practical work to do and
were marked accordingly. An unusual
understanding of the work was shown
and the results were very pleasing to the
library commission.
| The course was closed with a reception
in Library HTall. The members of the
library board were present, and Mr.
Kimball, chairman of the New Jersey
Library Commission, came down to
award the young ladies their certificates
Beside the members Of the Asbury Park
board of trustees, the wives of the mem
bers of the Board were present and
friends of the students.
| The meeting broke up with an in
| formal reception. During the evening
the young ladies presented to Miss As
| kew a pin as a token of their apprecia-
! ton. The commission feels that it will
be hardly possible to have for another
year class so uniformly studious, earn,
est and appreciative.
