Park is filled to capacity. Trains packed
20 the doors began arriving this morn
ing. and have continued all day. De
spite the unusual influx OF visitors, sur
passing the greatest expectations OF
the resorts authorities, there is room
for every one and accommodations to
suit every purse.
The fireworks display from the FISH
ing pier this evening was the mos;
elaborate yet presented. Arthur Pryor
and his band will give a sacred and
patriotic concert tomorrow evening
while the holidays festivities will be
further augmented with formal car
nival ball in the Boardwalk Casino
Monday evening.
Practically every hotel in the resort
will give special dances tonight and
Monday evening. The cry of hard
times" in other sections of the United
States may be justified, but there is no
evidence Of it at the North Jersey coast
resorts, Of which Asbury Park is the
centre.
Asbury Park commissioners took g
very liberal stand this week in regard
TO the city's treatment of visiting auto
mobilsts and the enforcement of traffic
ordinances. A policeman who arrested
a visiting automobiles for stopping his
car on the wrong side of the street was
brought TO book and an order was sent
out instructing the Police Department
and police justices to use common
sense in enforcing traffic rules. On the
other hand. public request was made
that the thousands of Automobiles
who come here daily assist the authori'
ties in protecting life and living up tC
the safety first" slogan when crossing
street intersections and busy corners.
At meeting of the Chamber Of Com
merce last night plans were formulated
to continue the campaign of adyertis
ing for Asbury Park. which was
started last week. Asbury Parks
Chamber Of Commerce is one of the
most progressive organizations OF its
kind in the country, and it has made
enough money in exploiting The resort
to warrant a publicity campaign which
will probably run into five figures.
The local campaign for woman suf-
frage reached a most enthusiastic con
cluson Tuesday night, when DR.. Anna
Howard Shaw, foremost national pro
ponent for equal suffrage. addressed
large and friendly audience in the
Beach Auditorium. which had been
placed at her disposal BY Founder
James A. Bradley, who is IN favor OF
the cause Dr.. Shaw, although more
than sixty-two years OF age, Is stll inc
Youngest campalgner, IN point o. en-
ercy and spirit. While in Asbury ParF
she was the guest OF hrs. Samuel Hell
ner. of Philadelphia, who has a beau
tiful country home at Spring Lake.
At the opening concert Of Pryor'
Band in the Arcade Mr.. Pryor intro
6uced a new march, called The
Founder" which he has dedicated tc
James A. Bradley, the daddy" OF As
bury Park. The piece will not be placed
on the market, the only copy having
been forwarded to Mr.. Bradley with
that understanding. The new comPo
sition met with instant success.
