Special Correspondence of. TheEveaing Star. ASBURY PARK, August 12, 1897. The past week has been a repetition of the previous one in the realm of social fes- tivities. Hops, card parties and musicales have been utilized to great advantage in whiling away the evening hours, while cy- cle runs to neighboring resorts, trolley par- ties to Pleasure bay, and driving, fishing, swimming and yachting have gained the attention of restless visitors during the day, for whom the quiet retreat of a hotel veranda has no attractions during the roonday hours. The Sunday evening musicale has grown in popular favor, ard all the big hotels now cffer very attractive programs each Sun- day evening, at which talented artists are billed to perform. Notably the Brunswick, Coleman, Columbia and West End have given especially fine concerts, at which large audiences have gathered to listen to the work of both local and outside talent. The woodcock song re on Friday evening and the benefit for the Junior Re- Fublic on Monday drew large audiences to the Brunswick Casino. The national ten days’ camp meeting of the Salvation Army is being held in the Asbury Park Auditorium. Commander Booth-Tucker and his staff are here, and the meetings are erewded to the doors. Five thousand people have been’in attend- ance daily. On Thursday evening a “ha!le- lujah wedding” was held, in which two of the officers were united in a “blood and fire” marriage. On Sunday last were held “surrender day” seryices at the Auditorium at 1l a.m., 3 and 8 p.m., and the week's services were divided into “excursion day” on Monday, ernational Gay” on Tues- day, “field day on Wednesday, “wedding de. on Thursday, “social day” on Friday and “‘a day at the ercss’ on Sunday. Allenhurst, the beautiful suburb of As- bury Park, celebrated its second anniver- sary-on Tuesday. A bicycle parade, fire department practice, a “Jersey wash,” band concert and a big hup on the lawn of the Allenhurst Inn were features of the Program. August 16 to 21 is the wheelmcr’s fair, which will be held in Edu- cational Hell. During the week there will probably be a big bicycle parade, in which all the hotel cycle clubs and ‘the local league club will participate. A number of valuable prizes have already been donated by the merchants of the city, and the pa- rade will be full of features.

Reduced to First floor—New Butidin; Neil's Island, at Tacoma, Wash., near the United States penitentiary, had an experi- ence last Thursday he is not likely to for get for many a long day, 2nd, while it was undoubtedly a ver son, it was an amusing episode to an Olym- | pia excursion party that witnessed it. incident occurred to Iverson while he was crossing from the mainland to his island home. purchased a quarter of a hog, intending to | salt it down for future use. y he left Stellacoom in his skiff he noticed with the school of ‘seapigs following his boat. the school, gan to ci ers began to work up alongside of his skiff. By, this time the rancher was scared, and he bent all his energies to reach the island shore, but his efforts to pull away from his fishy pursuers proved futile, for he might just as weil try to outrow a tornado as to attempt to escape from fleet-tailed seahogs. As Iverson 7 when almost directly opposite the United States penitentiary, the two large porpoises, that for about twenty minutes had been swimming so close to the boat that he had struck them several times with his oars, suddenly shot out of the water into the boat, knocking the rancher overboard with such force as to break one of his ribs and upset his skiff. For a short time the water about his boat had the appearance of a miniature maelstrom, as the hungry sea- hogs fought and guarreled for the carcass he land hog. 1 = clung to the gunwale. Will Jenkins, who lives near the Bosworth landing, hear- ing the racket and seeing the latter part of the trouble, put off in his boat and rescued him from his extremely perilous position. Dr. Macklinsen of Stellacoom was sent for and dressed the man’s wounds and pre- scribed for him. The doctor reports that his patient will be all right in a few days, but his patient says tha’ he will sell his ranch cheap, for, he says, although he has been a meat eater all his life, yet so long as he has to live on the poo he will ever attempt to take meat over in a row- boat. ‘Anyway, he says that he has to take too many chances, or, as he expressed it: “I don’t mind being held up on a street car or highway, but I do draw the line at being robbed in broad daylight of my ra- tion of bacon by a measly lot of wild sca- hogs.” A SERIOUS EXPERIENCE. extent in the morning and continue unti! noon. when they commence to fall.

Woman's vanity ~nd man’s conventional ideas evidently wilt at the line, and no formalities pass the equa- tor, when distinguished citizens and offi. clals can roam and lounge about hotel courts in pajamas and bath slippers, and ° bare-ankled women, clad only in the native sarong, or skirt, and a white dressing jacket, go unconcernedly about their af- fairs in streets and public places until af- ternoon. It is a dishabille beyond all bur- lesque pantomime, and only shipwreck on a desert island would seem sufficient excuse for women being seen in such an ungrace- ful, unbecoming attire—an undress that re- veals every defect, while concealing beauty, that no loveliness can overcorse. and that has neither color nor grace, nor picturesqueness to recommend it in itself. —ceo— Mowing on the Ice.
