The automobile show which w. ]. Nor
gan, promoter of the show at Long Branch
last season. has in charge will also include
q series of automobile races. Mr.. Morgan
made application to the city this week for
the vacation of Ocean boulevard along its
entire length to admit of the holding Of
races there. The boulevard is not quite
mile long, but is very wide and is in splen-
did condition. 1t follows the boardwalk
throughout It's entire length, and the IA
nous old ocean promenade would furnish
a splendid vantage point from which to
view it. One of the events of the meet
will be a thousand-mile nonstop test. In
GLIDING d tire and fuel test. The show
proper is to be held August % to %. About
all the leading automobile manufacturers
have perfected arrangements for exhibit
ing The beach commissioners have agreed
to allow Pryor's Band to furnish concerts
while the show is on, both afternoon and
evening
Ever since the city took hold of the ocean
front after purchasing II from Mr.. Bradley
there has been increasing show OF COM
mercialism in it's management The mayor
backed by the city council. has now taken
the stand that this must stop. Mayor At
lfins says new pavilion will have to be
erected and the favorite location for such
building at present is at the foot Of 7th
avenue. The beach commission has de-
cided that il will ask the city for bonds
and begin the construction Of the new
building in the fail. There Is also a strong
sentiment here urging the widening OF the
fishing pier TO three times its present width
and the erection of a very open pavilion at
the ocean end. with accommodations for
four or five thousand people.
