OF PEOPLE
AT ASBURY
PARK
One Of Biggest July Crowds
Ever KnOWn--Many Noon
light Canoeing Parties.

ASBURY PARK, July 27.-Incoming
owd this afternoon were - great
that hotel proprietors with difficulty
found accommodations for the over
Sunday contingent in their houses. al
ready crowded with one of the biggest
July throngs ever known in Asbury
Park. The baggage men will be until
After midnight delivering the huge piles
of trunks which this afternoon were
piled up at the station nearly 70 the
roof of the express sheds. In the GARD
walk section the Jam of people is such
that 1t is difficult to move from one
place to another without pushing ones
way by main force.
This is the ideal time of the year for
yacationists. After the terrific thunder
storms of a week earlier, the weather
has been nearly perfect. with moon
light nights as fine as are over known.
These have appealed to vacationists
nightly, putting a premium on boating
and beach parties n whetting the
capacity for enjoyment of all outdoor
pleasures.
Not altogether TO the liking of canoe
lists on mystic Deal Lake was an order
which went out from the police depart
ment this week that hereafter every
craft must carry a light. A patrol
boat has been put on the body of water
to creep stealthily along shaded banks
and interrupt the happiness Of lovers.
The Deal Lake Commuters as those
who make nightly trips Up 70 the
Ross-Fenton Farm are getting to be
termed, will also have to carry the
little white light. Only a weeks time
has been given for each one to fit up
his raft in this fashion. The order
is one which affects a good many peo-
pie, for there are now over 1000 eanoes,
boats and launches on the lake.
Medals for rescues from drowning in
the surf were distributed Wednesday
evening by the United States volunteer
l~ife-saving corps. Distribution was
made at the Pryor band concert in the
Arcade, between the two parts of the
band program, the Rev. DR.. John Leroy
Taylor representing Mayor Atkins at
the presentation. He gave one first to
Commodore Leonard Levy, who on Au-
gust 26 last rescued Walter A. Borden,
of Philadelphia. In the rescue he was
aided by Captain Maher and Lieuten-
ant Buel, of the corps. They did not
get medals. Levy got another medal
for the rescue of Edward j. Booking, Of
Asbury Park, September l last, and
Maher got a medal for pulling Edna
Dobbins out of the surf on August Is.
Captain Maher brought this young
woman through 200 yards of heavy
breakers, she being unconscious.
Frank Van Horn was rewarded with
medal for the rescue of Frederick
- RTox,1rix NJ na1r,or Tplu IN
last. Other medals went to Howard
Applegate, Peter Munson and Otis Jen-
son for ~rescuing T. L. Donaldson and
Mr.. and Mrs. William Stanton after
their launch had been overturned off
Sandy Hook August is, 1905. The other
medal awarded went to julius Grant,
who on September 4 last saved h life
OF John Jones, of Elberon.
The Asbury Park Fishing Club is pre-
pairing for a casting tournament 1t will
hold August II. Messrs. Burton, Scott,
Edge and Marshall have the affair in
charge and are entering all the old salts
whose faces are seen continually at the
fishing pier and seldom elsewhere.
A new attraction came to Asbury
Park this week in a shooting tourna-
ment, held by the Monmouth Gun Club
on the beach at the foot of Deal Lake.
Dealers in ammunition and gun sup
plies accompanied the marksmen and
the who'll aggregation enlisted much
interest here.
