SPRING LAKE.
Special Correspondence of The Star.


SPRING LAKE, N. j., June g. 1907.
This beautiful seashore resort, which
from many viewpoints is the pick of those
along the North Jersey shore, is just open
ing up for another summer with the most
gratifying prospects. Much thought and
money have been expended during the past
eight months of the closed season in giving
the place additional attractions.
Following the beach front improvements
which recently took the form of new
boardwalk, modern bath houses have this
winter been erected at both ends of the
resort. The largest group, which is located
at the center of the beach front, is fitted
with hot and cold baths and with swim
ming pool forty by sixty feet.
Nowhere on the entire coast Is the re-
markable combination of seashore and
country more clearly or charmingly pre-
scented than at this handsome resort, which
takes it's name from a beautiful sheet of
water lying in its center. Compared with
the other watering places, which form
chain from Barnegat bay north to the At
lantic highlands, it is summer settlement
of arstocrats. The pioneers here were OF
that class, and that they have successfully
avoided the undesirable summer element Of
the nouveau richie, which often creeps into
and makes undesirable to those of dis
eliminating tastes places which started as
this Is, is worthy Of comment.

Sydney Smith Disguised.

NEW YORK, June s.-Fellow-passengers
with many Americans of note arriving here
on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse were
two dozen brides-elect from Germany, who

LONG BRANCH.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
LONG BRANCH, N. j., June s, 1907.
The pendulum swings both ways, and at
Long Branch it is swinging back fast and
gathering momentum as it goes. Forty
years ago the resort was in It's glory and
as summer watering place for social lead
ers was what Newport is today. Then
new places sprung up and its glory waned.
the seaside city arguing only Its old repu-
tation. Patronage fell off until two and
three years ago, after the famous gambling
houses were closed, everybody realized the
place must be rejuvenated.
Improvements on a big scale started over
year ago have during the past winter
been about completed and the resort is now
holding up its head once more and making
a play for patronage. A new boardwalk
has been built along the ocean front from
the foot Of Broadway south to West End
avenue. A new casino has been erected,
arrangements made for music on the ocean
front all season and the city throughout
put in apple pie order.
Notable among the improvements which
will count most toward the immediate
return of Long Branch to its old-time pop
ularity Is the building of the Hotel Tacka-
nassee, on the site of the famous old West
End Hotel. The house is a splendid repre-
sentative Of the new type of summer hotel:
1t is five stories high, built of brick and
steel construction and fireproof through
out. One of the features of the hosiery is
the placing of the dining room on the top
floor, from which elevation the windows
command q Hne view OF tne sea. On Ino
same level is roof garden attractively
decorated with palms and potted plants In
every room of the house there is running
hot and cold water and all rooms are ar
ranged suite with private baths. The
hotel will open shortly under the manage
ment of George E. Ward
Directly across the avenue from the
Tackanassee stand the West End Cottages
and Hotel, which are under the new man
agement this year of Demeter Pick. Since
last season substantial improvements have
been carried on at an expenditure of $780,
600. An amusement casino east of the hotel
will this season play important part
in the social life of the section arrange
ments having been made for vaudeville
there all summer.
Fernando Pannaci is already entertaining
many guests at the Pannaci. located mid
way along the ocean front. Returning
guests will find the dining rooms made
much more attractive by remodeling that
they have undergone during the winter.
At the Scarboro, Louis V. Kahn is enter
ing upon his second season and the opening
is suspicious. Mr.. Kahn reports that book
ings are coming in much better than they
did year ago and that the prospect for a
big season at Long Branch has scarcely
been so bright within the remembrance Of
those who now conduct its hotels.
