ASBURY PARK, y. J..
September 10. 1910.
A prolongation of the seasons height
resulted from the hot weather of Labor
day and the day following, so that even
though September is third past the
summer crowd is not all gone by any
means. Tuesday, when the break was
due. the Thermometer here climbed to
1913. 1t was the most oppressive day
in years time, and only on the Board
walk did the close proximity of the
ocean count for anything in lowering
the temperature.
September is proving. as it always
does. the most delightful month Of the
entire year at the shore. The bathing
is splendid. with the water registering
IL and 80 degrees. and having besides
a peculiarly attractive quality Ii does
not possess at other times. There is
fine sailing, and the. quality of the air
is beginning to be stimulating At the
Casino Theater, on the Boardwalk, great
crowds have been gathering nightly to
see some OF the best Broadway produce
tions, preparatory 10 their reopenfng In
New York. In fact, there is everything
here now to give visitors the best sort
of time, and no longer any possibility
OF crowding, that was so obnoxious a
week ago. Because OF these facts people
are staying in town in much larger
numbers than they formerly did AFTER
Labor day. The Coleman House, usu-
ally the first to close, Will remain open
until September 20, and all Of the other
leading houses are following its example.
The baby parade. which hung over into
this week because of Indictment weather
during the week prior for which it was
scheduled. was the greatest In the history
Of the pageants, as was evidenced In sew
eral ways. Entries numbered 133 when
the final count had been taken. Last
year they reached only the 800 mark, and
not i'm many seasons have they been
much higher Chief interest was in the
award of a observation-disclosures auto
mobile, full equipment, given by con-
densed milk company. Master j. clayton
Stickler the twenty-two-month-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs Herman Etickler of As%

able that has ever been awarded in the
parade Master Stickler was kelly He

Hotel men are much relieved that the
height of the season is over without the
usual excise raid. Not In years has AS
bury Park got through season without
having either the county. state or city
authorities swoop down upon II at time
when festivities were at their height and
gather in all the proprietors alleged TO be
