Asbury Park. N. J.. July 1.-Now
that the vacation hosts are domiciled
In Asbury Park hotels and cottages
interest turns toward the entertain
ment program. and in this connection
many inquiries are being made con-
corning the carnival events.
Mayor C. E. F. Hetrick, who Is the
head Of the carnival association. has
not decided his program, but It Is ex-
pected that at forthcoming meeting
OF his carnival board ARRANGEMENTS
will be considered for the annual
summer events Whatever the pro-
gram may be. prospects are that the
baby parade will be retained. and that
despite the protests of some people
that these times are not propitious
Tor carnival functions depicting roy
atty, Queen Titania and her fairyland
retainers will have an important part
In the exercises. Historic and patri-
otic pageants have been suggested as
a carnival substitute, but it likely
VIII be the carnival board decision
to weld patriotic themes into the car
nIVaI arrangements, rather than aban-
don the whole scheme of events,
which have for twenty-five years been
among the leading summer pageants
of the country.
Patriotic Ball Opens Season.
Meantime there has assembled IN
the hotels a throng which has taken
the entertainment program into its

rected by Miss Helen McHugh, and
hundreds Of persons participated in
the dance.

attraction the latter part of this
month at the New Monterey. She will
direct a Red Cross ball, the young
ladies to be gowned as Red Cross
nurses and the men to wear the in
sigma in white. There will be a dance
contest with first-aid kit as a prize.
It Is estimated that the holiday
throng in Asbury Wednesday num-
bered 10000. Added to the ranks of
lVacationists who came by train and
by motor were. approximately, 1900
excursionists- Ten special trains to-
