the leading social functions of the
early summer season. The long list of

the tart. The proceeds of the ball
were devoted to the expansion of the

Long Branch will not have mid
summer water carnival this year. De-
clslon to postpone until some future
time the aquatic events scheduled for
August 6 under the auspices of the

was made last week. After removal
of the club quarters from the present
site to the recently purchased Martha
Price property on Patten Avenue is
effected it is expected that the scope
of the club will be considerably wi

in membership will permit of the Long

ing events with a greater degree Of
success than would have been the cass
If the water carnival were staged this
year.
