ASBURY PARK, Aug. 14.-Six royal
maids, who will be exalted to the high
rank of maids of honor to Titania,
queen of the fairies, have been chosen
by the councillors to her royal majesty,
whose identity is being kept secret
Six hundred or more American beau
ties from every one of the forty-six
States were contestants for the six
dashed to the ground by the u
ment of the list of those who have
received the royal appreciation.
Many a night was spent in profound
elaboration by the august Judges who
acted as councillors to her majesty be-
fore the selections were made.
The maidens who are to share the
royal throne with Queen Titania are
Miss Marie Bennett, of Philadelphia,
at the Minot House; Miss Nina Ohm
Hotel Monmouth; Miss Beatrice Con-
nelly, of Brooklyn. at the Surf House;'
Miss Margaret Gordon, of Asbury
Park, at the Southern Hotel; Miss
Helen Demarest, of Hackensack, of the
cottage colony, and Miss Eleanor Sher-
wood, of Ridgefeld, N. j.. at the
Brunswick Hotel.
A rough sea, that sent heavy break
ers tumbling rapidly on the sand.
combined with a strong undercurfent,-
swept a dozen persons beyond the life
lines and called forth every effort of
the lifeguards to save them.
At Fourth avenue, where the break
ers were angriest and the undertow
strongest, four persons were taken
from the surf within an hour. Bath
ing finally became so dangerous at this
point that the beach was deserted.
AT Seventh avenue a mild enough
looking sea invited the bathers. Eight
persons were carried put to deep water.
Edward Stonaker, IA years old, had a
narrow escape. His close call was
caused by an III -judged dive. Stonaker
dived from the top of a pole, intend
ing to go head first INTO the water.
Instead he struck the water %squarely
on his side. His breath departed in a
twinkling, and, apparently dazed, he
had to be rescued by Lifeguard De-
Bow.
A howl Is certain to go up from the
announcement that the Beach Commits
sion made today, that hereafter there
will be no free concerts of Arthur
Pryor's band. For a couple of years
such concerts have been given on Sum
day afternoon,S and the Arcade has al
ways been crowded at that time. Be-
ginning with next Sunday special SOLO
lists will appear afternoons as we'll as
evenings, and the admission price will
be raised to a quarter. Except on Sun
days and on Saturday nights, the fee
is fifteen cents. To make up for the
Sunday afternoon charge, the band will
give a free concert Monday afternoon
from the band stand on the boardwalk
near the Casino.
