Hotels Announce Open Doors for One or Two Months Yet. Epeclal Cérrespondence of The Evening Star. ASBURY PARK, N, J., August 30, 1 Taken all in all, the season of "9S has been the liveliest that Asbury Park has ever seen, and the bookings at the hotels show that it is to be the longest. Early in the summer there were predictions that the war scare would damage the season. It did hurt the cottage-renting business somewhat in May and June, but the ava- lanche of visitors during the latter half of July and all of August far more than off- set whatever backwardness there was at e beginning of the season. Pe Hotel y Hecthen ev Morgan & Parsons, proprietors, reports the best season that it has had since 1893, and announces that the house will keep open until September X phe Hotel Columbia has an exceptional number of fall bookings and will not close until October 1. The Coleman House, which usually eleses the last Saturday in August, will not shut its doors this year until Septem- ber 10. The popular Norwood Hall, the proprie- | tors of which are Travers & Trumpbour, will cater to the autumn trade until } vember 1. The Wellington, Frank E. Smith, pro prietor, which opened early in the spring, wi close until December 1. J. K. Dodman, proprietor of the Madison, located on Sunset avenue, will receive guests until October 1. The Edgemere Inn, on 4th avenue, the proprietors of which are Raine & Banta, have set October 1 as the date for clos- ing. The Surf House, at the corner of Kings- ley street and Ist avenue, will remain open until October 1. The red, white and blue german at the Lafayette Hotel Wednesday evening was a fitting climax to the brilliant series of social functions which have been tendered the guests of that hotel this summer by the proprietor, Mrs. Frost. One of the prettiest events of the whole season at the Hotel Brunswick was the children's fancy-dress hop, which took p'ace in the Casino Thursday evening. The Volunteers of America held a very s ful three-day series of meetings the first of the week in the Auditorium. This resort is preparing to entertain all the Christian Endeavorers of the state of New Jersey, who are coming here the last week of the month to hold their annual convention.

The Event to Close With Races This Afternoon—The Final Award of Premiums. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., September 2.—The most successful exhibition of the Mont- gomery County Agricultural Society given for years will close with the races this afternoon. The attendance today, though not as large as that of yesterday, was large, and the receipts at the gates were very satisfactory. The fair this year, it is claimed, has undoubtedly demonstrated the capabilities of the county to support a more dense population, and, situated as it is, in close proximity to the national capital, it affords a fine opening for the farmer, truck gardener and stock raiser. The officers of the society formally re- turn its thanks to The Evening Star for its full and accurate reports of the fair. The prospect of providing a well-equip- ped building for the accommodation of the District merchants, manufacturers and other lines of business received approba- tion, and it is expected will be adopted next year.

During the afternoon of yesterday the crowd at the fair grounds was largely in- creased to witness the races, which com- menced promptly on time and were of an exciting character. The grand stand was crowded to its full capacity, principally by ladies, and every available point of obser- vation adjacent to the race track was ocou- pied by anxious tors, notwithstanding the intens> heat. But ene accident happen- ed during the progress, of the racing. The driver of Dr. Bell was thrown from his sulky near the judges’ stand, the horse dashing around the track at a fearful speed. The animal, after running several times around the circle, was finally captured and teken to his stable, apparently not much in- jured. , The general management of the races is Much more satisfactory than during pre- vious years, when tharé was much delay in starting on time. This' year they were all closed at a much earlier hour than hereto- fore, allowing all to witness them and reach home in good time.

Camp Meeting Folks Gone Home, Others Will Soon Follow. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. OCEAN GROVE, N. J., August 31, 1898. With the death of the camp meeting came the first signs of the dissolution of the season at Ocean Grove. At least three- fourths of the hotel guests who came to town the latter half of August were at- tracted by the camp, and when it ended Tuesday a good many of them left for home immediately. The cottage colony will remain almost intact until the middle of the month, but after next Monday the benifaces will begin to get lonely. The final services of the summer on the camp grounds will take place Sunday, when the army and navy Christian com- mission hold a convention. The principal Speakers are to be Major General O. O. Howard, Colonel John J. McCook and Rev. Dr. L. W. Munhall of Germantown. The Camp. Association officials and the leaders of meetings held a conference a few days ago and exchanged opinions on the results of the ten days’ camp. All agreed that the camp of ’98 had in the number of conversions and in the crowds attending been surpassed by hardly any camp in the history of the resort. The number of conversions and back-sliders re- claimed was about 200. The Auditorium choir, which, under the leadership of Prof. Tali Morgan, has done such efficient service in leading the con- gregational singing this summer, was given @ banquet last evening in the temple by ae aan Association. Plates were laid for 350. The children’s concert, which scored such @ great success at the end of the school of theolo; and the evening before the oratorio of the ‘Messiah,” was repeated on Thursday evening, before an audience of about 8000, A chorus of 700 children sang. ‘The Arlington Hotel, which ts beautifully situated facing the Auditorium grounds, has enjoyed one of the best seasons in its history.

Although June and early July were a bit backward, Aus gust has broken all records. The Octagon never had a better season and the Penin- sula House, Sea Bright Inn and Norman- die-by-the-Sea have all been full for a week. The prospects are that summer life will continue gay until considerably after the middle of the month. The annual flower exhibition cf the Mon- mouth County Horticultural Society was held at Sea Bright casino on the Rumsen road last Wednesday and Thursday. Guests of the Octagon held a pleasant card party Monday evening. The tables were arranged on the pier, and the con- test was spirited for beautiful prizes. The Sea Bright summer folk have spent a good deal of time bicycle riding this week.

There is in Russia a district which is whclly administered and during most of the time exclusively inhabited by women, It is the province of Smolensk, and com- prises a district of about fifteen square miles, from which all the able-bocied males emigrate in the spring and prcceed to neighboring towns and districts in search of work, remaining away about nine months of the year. In their absence the women cultivate the ficids and manage local affairs generally under the presidency of a woman. mayor.
