ASBURY PARK, N. j., July s, 1910
This was great week at Asbury. one
Of the most satisfactory from every view
point ever written down in the history of
the resort. Its commencement Sunday
last found the town crowded with the
biggest Fourth of July throng that was
ever here. and the oppressively hot
weather added to it largely next day.
Then. as if to make the week entirely
agreeable. the thermometer fell rapidly
Monday night, and the rest of the week
was most remarkable for this time of
year, the air being dry and as invigorat-
ing as that characteristic Of September.
Proof Of a remarkable Fourth of July
business was found in statements of the
local banks Wednesday. when three of
them reported that Tuesday was the
biggest day for deposits they had ever
had.
Wesley lake, the pretty little body Of
water separating Asbury Park and Ocean
Grove. shone like fairyland last night
during the first carnival held upon it in
q number Of years. Thousands OF the re-
sorts visitors had seats about the bank KS.
watching the display of decorated boats
and fireworks, while Lake avenue over
its entire length was crowded with auto
mobiles and carriages filled with gay
throngs. Three Thousand incandescent
lights bordered the lake and main inter-
sections. japanese lanterns and festoons
of bunting and flags were everywhere
seen and the effect was very beautiful.
Prizes were awarded for the best deco
rated buildings along the lake. = band
