ASBtTRY PAJIK, July
19. This has been a
great week for excur
sions; and the festive
excursionist from town
and country has tum
bled about in the surf,
ridden in the carouselles
and toboggan chute,
and, after partaking of
a heartr lunch from
bis pasteboard box, has departed, leaTing trails
of peanut shells, paper bags, boxes and frag
ments of his chicken sandwiches to mark his
entrance and exit. Every day this week has
been marked by tho sudden advent of from
S.000 to C.0D0 visitors for a day's pleasure.
As soon as they arrive, wholly disdaining the
stages and electnc cars, they make a bee line
down Cookman avenue to the beach where
their mirth and jollity are unrestrained. Though
ic would seem that every one. within a daj's
ride, has at some time, in its 20 years' history,
been at Asbury Park, yet many of the excur
sion throngs from the cities are dismayed and
confused when they alight from their trains
and notice the solid blocks of brick business
houses around Railroad Square. Then ensues
a game of follow- our-leadcritb, often, sur
prising results. Ail desire to get to the beachby
the shortest route and all spurn other means
okreaching It than by walking. So, it has hap
pened, that crowds of these festive pilgrims
nave inquired for the beach after walking a
mile through the hot sun, back in West Asbury
Park. Like a caravan in the desert, they have
been turned about toward tno briny oasis which
theysongbt. Still others follow an ignorant
but haughty leader, who will ask favors of no
one, around through the Southern part 'of
Ocean Grove or North Asbury. After a w eari
some parade ol an hour or so, they at last bring
up at some point on the beach, and tor all that
day the self -assumed leader is tne hero of the
occasion.
THE DAKCIKO FROLICKING TTS1TOBS.
Nearly every excursion contains large par
ties who want to dance, and after buffeting
with the sporting waves and fighting each
other with handfuls of sugar-brown sand, they
wander off in search of terpsicnorean pleasures.
The hotel men do not relish the presence of the
great multitudes of temporary sojourners and
will not allow them the use of ' the hotel
orchestras or parlors or ballrooms. Yet there
are numerous halls about the place which are
let at very low prices, and in these the happy
excursionist and his inamorata aanco merrily
until time to board tneir train for home.
The excursions, growing more and more
numerous every season, appear now as if tliev
might soon cause serious consideration on the
part of the authorities as to whether their
presence is desirable or not. This question is
already decided negatively by leading hotel
men and the wealthy cottage population. The
excursions are larpest and most numerous
during the height of the season, when the
place is most crowded. The little money spent
by these day visitors is garnered by the rail
roads, bathing establishments and cheap shows
along the beach. So far as advertising the
resort is concerned, the excursions are of no
account. The place is more widely and better
known by means of its prominent guests and
by newspaper representation. The great ex
cursions this week have come from Philadel
phia and other Pennsylvania towns, Jersey
City and Newark ana vicinity.
"WEALTH AKD BLOOD AND FASHION.
. Abetter class of people are now frequenting
inis resort man ever Before. The change has
been gradual, but yet plainly apparent to the
regular visitors here. The place, with its ad
joining neighbor. Ocean Grove, is an attractive
little city with ail the city comforts and lux
uries. And, though this be true, yet the so
journer here linds the delights of quiet retire
ment, murmurs of pine groves, wilderness soli
tudes, and gently receding beach with the ever
cnanging ocean, all within easy distance of his
w-a-uaj uuiei; or co-a-weeK ooaruing bouse.
Tis this fact which allures more and more peo
ple of wealth and high social standing to this
resort. The change between a luxurious city
home and city conveniences and the comforts
and facilities of the many superior hotels here
is not now so vivid and painiul a contrast as
during the early history of the place. In fact.
Asbury Paik and her near neighbors. Ocean
Grove, fjoch Arbour, lnterlaken. Ueal, and
Avon-by-tbe-bea, compare most lavorably with
the most noted resorts in the world for tho
wealth, style, culture and social eminence of
their habitues.
An invaluable class of persons, almost un
noticed at all seaside resorts, is the life euards
or bathing masters at the bathing grounds.
For a miserable pittance, scarcely as much in
most cases, as that received by a hod carrier
these brave, hardy men stand about half
naked, day after day in the summer, and per,
form acts of heroism which are almost invari
ably taken as a matter of course. Half sub
merged in tne briny surf for hours each day
they are called upon to risk their lives every
hour in the rescue of some venturesome or un
fortunate bather. For this exposure ther rc-
t eclve tbelr wages and a "thank you." Not
M tnlrequently words of wrath and reproach are
k bestowed upon the life-savers for, very prop
erly, setting drowning persons by the hair and
- so tugging them ashore. In this locality, these
S men are lanrely drawn from the United k,i..
lite Isaiing; stations along the New Jersey
coast. These stations are nearly all closed
and the forces reduced during July and
August.

THE PHILOSOPHERS OF AVON.
Almost touching Ocean Grove is the pretty
little resort newly named Avon-by-the-Sea. It
is chiefly famous for the "Seaside Assembly,"
which meets there each summer for mingled
intellectual and spiritual culture. The seventh
session of the assembly began on Wednesday
evening. In the opening address of President
Dr. A L. Turner was given an idea of tbe pro
gramme for the coming season. The assembly
was established here by earnest friends of
Bible study and ethical culture. All the higher
departments of art and philosophy will be led
by men of national reputations. One branch
of the assembly is given up to tbe development
and practice of tbe Chantaunuan ideas. Mmc

ATLANTIC CITY AT TTETj BEST.
Chock Foil of PltttbargcH nnd Thej're All
llnppy Events or the Week.
rsrzcuii. telxghah to the dispatch.i
atlantio City, July
19. All is life and bustle
here now. It appears to
some remarkable that At
lantic City should attract
such a mass of people
when tbe large number of
resorts which dot the At
lantic coast, and otber-
which are constantly
springing into existence,
with decided and acknowl-
edged advantages as sum
mer resting places, are taken into considera
tion. But this city by the sea still holds the
title of tbe queen resort, and will continue to
do so. Tbe atmosphere during the past week
has been a trifle cool,but this hasn't affected the
ardor of the army of bathers and crowds are to
be seen daily 'disporting in the surf or patroling
the strand clothed in the phenomenal bathing
robes, which characterize the city; indeed It is
a source of constant strife with a number of
visitors as to who will wear tbe most attractive
robe, and as a result the suits are quite hand
some and varied. The petty burglaries which
have taken place here during the past week;
and which have been so grossly exaggerated
have fully aroused the autnorities, and several
detectives have been secured', who will assist
Chief of Police Eldredge in ferreting out the
offenders.
Among the several new attractions which
have been recently added to the already nn
equaled" list is a firt-class amateur baseball
club, which will play games frequently during
the season with clubs from tbe vicinity, and
fine inclosed grounds at the inlet have been se
cured. The team promises to bo a feature in
the sports of the shore during the summer.
Another amusement now at its height is tho
moonlight excursion out to sea, and parties are
made up from the hotels quite frequently to
indulge in them. Lawn tenuis is also more
in vogue cow than usual; and the sport is be
coming quite common, courts having been laid
out in a number of tbe lawns of the principal
hotels. Bicvcle riding is also a. leading pas
time, the safeties oleourse being the favorites.
TnE PITTSBUBO GBOCEB3.
On Friday quite a delegation of the Pittsburg
Grocers' Association arrived in town. The ex
cursion was in charge of Harry Smith, editor
of the Pennsylvania Grocer, and the Darty had
already visited Baltimore and other places of
interest. The company were met at the depot
In this city by a delegation of the local associa
tion, headed by Phillips' Cornet Band, which
led tbe procession to the Hotel Albion where a
handsome entertainment was provided, and the
'Fittsburgers ail expressed themselves as well
pleased witn Atlantic uity ana tneir treatment
'while in town.
The old whalinc vessel, Stafford, which was
stranded on tbe beach some time ago, is now
attracting considerable attention at the Inlet,
where she lies a relic of past greatness. What
the Reading Railroad Company intends to do
with the large amount of valuable property it
has purchased and other lands on which it
holds options isnof as yet authentically known,
but it bas signed an agreement not to use tbe
property fur excursion purposes and it is
generally conceded that an immense hotel is to
be erected shortly, which will exceed all others
in magnificance.
Tbe hotels all report an unusual influx of
Western guests, of which tbe Pittsburg con
tingent forms an unusually large percentage
and quite a number are expected in town to
night. This season of the year is really be
coming very popnlar for Western visitors and
at tbe balls and bops beld almost nightly at the
leading hotels they take an active part.
Oneot tho events of the past week was the
christening of the handsome yacht John E.
Mo'.irer, after tbe popular proprietor of
Kchanfler's Hotel. The yacht is considered the
finest in tbe inlot, and a largo crowd of visitors
and invited guests were present.
Mr. James McKcnny, a young man of about
IB years, employed in the ticket office of the
Pennsylvania Railroad at Pittsburg, died of
hemorrhage at one of the prominent hotels
here Sunday Justafter midnight. "Ho bad been
here but one week, and came down to recuper

Pittsburg, and had gone to the merry-go-rounds
Saturday evening feeling better than nsual.
Ho retired at 11 o'clock, and about 12 o'clock
his brother, Mr. John Mclienney, was
awakened by his cougbing and noticed that a
bad hemorrhage bad set in. In 20 minutes the
young man bad died in bis brother's arms. Tbe
body was embalmed and sent to Pittsburg the
next day. '

SOLDEEBS FOE CAPE MAY.
Boi From Washington and Baltimore to
Encamp There The Washinston Guests.
lSrECtXI. TSLEQBAK TO THE DISPATCH. 1
Cape May, N. J
July 19. A committee of
commissioned officers of
the Baltimore Light In.
pui85---:
fantry was here this
week making arrange
ments for the encamp
ment of that organiza
tion sometime during
tbe present summer. It
is pretty well settled
that the Washington
Light Infantry Corps will be here, and it is
about to be arranged so that one organization
will come here immediately after- tbe other. In
order that the same camp can be used by both.
In this way a great deal of expense that would
otherwise be necessary will be saved. It has
been two years since any military organizations
were here.
To-night a grand ball took place at the Stock
ton and another one at Congress Hall. They
were well attended, and among the throng of
participants and attendants were many of tbe
large number of Pittsburg people here. There
are mora Fittsbnrc ceonle bera than there
have been in former seasons, mainly because
there are more people nero trotn everywnero.
The business over the local railroad the West
Jersey between Cape May and Philadelphia
has increased CO per cent over last year. The
only means of entrance bv rail is over the line
mentioned. Tbe river boats from Philadel
phia are doing a good business, and by tho re
quest ot Baltimoreans a new steamer has been
put on between here and Baltimore. It bas
proved a success and will run all summer.
BEPBESENTATIVES OF DIXIE.
In every hotel corridor is seen tho represent
ative lady and gentleman of tbe South. They
are here, and their cumber is daily increasing.
The return of the old-time Southern element,
which so predominated before the Rebellion, is
welcomed by all. There are many from Ken
tucky and Tennessee, .while Virginia and the
Carolinas are sending manv here. Tbe cause
ot tbe increase of visitors from these sections
can be easily explained. There has been a
'great deal ot money expended In advertising in
tbe West and South, and tho Cape is now reap
ing its benefits. If" more were expended in
Pennsylvania, and more in Pittsburg, the in
crease from that section would be quickly
noticed. There is no doubt, however, that
before next season thero will be large adver
tising funds raised, and a competent advertis
ing manager selected to take charge of the
work.
Cape May will never become an excursion re
sort to tho extent of some other towns, because
it will never cater for this distinction. ItspaC
tronage will always consistmainly of the better
classes of society, and its preparations for
business will always have this in view. It has
now one of the finest hotels on tbe coast, and
within the next ten years it is expected that
great changes will tako place, and that business
will be largely increased. Its resident popula
tion has increased 34 per cent in flvo years by
the present census. In this matter Cape May
is essentially different from ail Other resorts.
It is the most conservative and has a summer
cottage population which includes some of the
very best people in the country, many of whom
have been regular visitors to tbe Cape from
childhood.
THE OFFICIAL GUESTS.
The family of Postmaster General Wana
maker is enjoying seaside life in a quiet way.
Miss Lillian is the belle of the Point. Mr.
Wanamaker has visited his family twice since
their arrival and was expected again this even
ing. General William T. Sherman, that old
war veteran of whom everybody, foe as ell as
friend, speaks well, has paid his visit here for
the season and gone. He visited his daughter
at her Columbia avenue cottage, who, by tbe
way, seems to be in the midst of a colony of
Pittsburg cottagers. He departed on Monday
evening for New York.
President Harrison, accompanied by his
private secretary, J". W. Halford, arrived at
the Fresidental cottage Thursday evening to
remain over Sunday. The day ot their depart
ure is not definitely settled. Tbe President is
tired from continuous work, but is jovial for
all and is enjoying bis rest. On bis way to tbe
Cape.be passed through one of tbe severest
electrical storms, accompanied by hail, which
was ever experienced in South Jersey. It was
simply terrific, and did much damage.

fSPKCIAL TELEGBAM TO THB DISPATCH. 1
BEDFOBD SPBINOS,
July 19. The season is
at its height here now.
The regular summer
rush and bustle among
t the hotel people and ease
ana enjoyment amuug
the thousands of hotel
guests is nothing unusu-
y al for this famous re
sort; but one thing so no
ticeable among the old-
timers is their desire to continue their stay
longer than they have done in years gone by.
They say the place is more enjoyable than ever
and tho guests more sociable. Bedford has al
ways been a favorite place for jurists.
No less than a dozen can be counted
on the lawns any evening, sitting In
gTOuns of twos and fours, relating pleas
ant times that they have spent bere in years
cone oy Dexoro tuey wore toe juuicia luues.
At this writing fully 600 cuests are enjoying
life at the Springs Hotel, while tho smaller
nosieines are entertaining to tueir iuu
capacity, and August and September promise
big crowds, for rooms are being engaged
rapidly already.
Of all tbe springs here the magnesia spring
is the most frequented. It is situated directly
in front of tho main hotel, at tho foot of the
mountain. Tho directions for drinking these
health-restoring waters as advised by the resi
dent M. D.'s are as follows: Two glasses about
one hour before meals, with a half-hour's jaunt
up tho mountain between each glass.
Each morning about 6:30 the tide sets in to
ward the spring and from that oh a continual
stream of pretty girls, accompanied by a
mother, a father, a sister or brother, in the ma
jority of cases some other girl's brother, keeps
up until about 9 o'clock. Three times during
the day this routine is gone through with.
From information received from "Joe," who
has presided over this spring tor the past five
years as water dipper, he says he serves on an
avorage of 1,900 glasses per day. Besides this
there are a great many guests who bave tbe
water sent to their rooms. Tbe sulphur water,
as a treneral rule. Is indulged In after supper.
The scarcity of young men at the Springs is
becoming alarming. In three sets of lancers
the other evening there was only one man. The
hotel management will soon bave to take some
action.

Gossip From Sen nnd Shore.
One of the proveroially uncomfortable things
about summer hotels Is tbe small size of tbe
rooms. As Judge Thompson, of New York,
was commenting on this feature of hotel life
the other day be said: "The small rooms re
mind me of whatLorenz Sails once said of a
turkey. He was a great eater and told a friend
that the turkey was a bird he didn't like, be
cause it was too big for one person to eat and
not big enough for two."
The favorite Adirondack trip by boat Is
through the lakes with 'guides to the Blue
mountains. At the head of tbe Upper Baranae
stands the far-famed Saranao Inn, where ex
President Cleveland always visited during the
season, and where he found a hearty welcome.
It is an important stopping place in the jour
ney, and is the Mecca of the short pilgrimages
inrougn tee saranacs which many visitors una
time only to make.
And now comes the unreasonable, selfish,
pampered bachelor, who writes to know why
some one can't get np summer houses for un
married men, run In tbe nlckel-In-the-slot ma
chine basis. He wants bis breakfast and drops
his nickel. Behold it. Ditto bis bath, his
shaving water and utensils, bis blackened
boots, his newspapers and all that is needed to
make a self-indulgent bachelor happy.
Mits. James g. Blaine, Jb is still at the
United States Hotel, Saratoga. She drives out
daily, but her condition is not yet first-class and
she still walks with' difficulty. In her drives
she is usually accompanied by her baby and
some members of the party who are with her,
and which includes Mrs. Nicboll. Mrs. McK.
Minton and William Weston, all of New York.
The Adirondacks are swarming with tourists
and sportsmen. At Lake Placid the tally-hos
from all directions come in daily, loaded from
top to bottom, and the roads are full of private
conveyances. At Loon Lake, Chase's is stead
ily tilling up. At Ralph's, on the Cbateaugay,
the conditions are the same.
One of tho largest fisheries in the country is
at the fashionable cottage resort ot Seabright,
between 100 and 41)0 men supporting themselves
and their families, by the industry. It is now
the blueiish season aud the sport is enjoyed by
visitors, including many women.
Lenox is to have a fox hnnt at an early day.
The plan is to have a pack ot hounds come up

Y0EK STATE'S PEETTY LAKE.
Betides the Educational Trent Everybody Is

SPECIAL TELEGBAJI TO TUB DISPATCH.!
Lake Chautauqua.
July 19. A morning ride
upon tho lake, a music
ale or entertainment at
tho Assembly grounds,
a lunch at Point Chau
tauqua, a swell dinner
at Greenhurst, at either
of the Lakewood's, ho
tels for the evening's
hop and you have com
pleted one of the daily
rounds of pleasure on
Lake Chautauqua. Surely it can never be dull
uere, iur me amusemenis are bo varieu ana pas
times so plentiful. The unacquainted one
often gets the idea that there is but one resort
on this lake and that is the Assembly grounds.
Familiarity soon apprises them of their error,
and while the Assembly is tbe largest and more
visited point, it is tar from being tho only one.
Those who wish a luxurious resort, a place of
fashion and of ease, with merry bops, gay par
ties, or who wish to enjoy quiet rest, can have
their most extravagant ideal satisfied at beau
tiful Lakewood, Greenhurst or Point Chau
tauqua. The past week has been a lively one because
of tbe lively people gathered bere. Tbe hotels
are nearly lull and still expecting more. At
the Assembly grounds there has been a bril
liant programme, a big school, pleasant weather,
splendid audiences and a happy association.
The programme this year does not possess as
many brilliant lights and living stars as those
of former years, but men of reputation,
standard lecturers and instructors are regular
entertainers, and there are fewer of tbe inferior
class thrown in to fill up the catalogue of
talkers.
FAMOUS PITCHES STAGG.
Stagg has come. The Chautauqua nine is
well under way, and the chances are that there
will be some rousing games. Stagg is an unas
suming fellow, and cares little for tbe notoriety
thrust npon him by tbe press, which bas
heralded him near and far as the "praying
pitcher." He is short in stature, rather heavy
set, with crisp curly hair, a face and hands as
bronzed as those of an Indian, with sparkling,
frank blue eyes that are always laughing, a set
of white even teeth which always show them
selves in tbe quiet smile that is always visible
when he has scored some good point over his
opponents. His greatest and best points are
solid common sense and a cool head, which
he uses with the same good effect
whether it bo in the national game or as a
rousing leader of a prayer meeting. He says
that his days of ball playing are over, and that
be must quit knocking about and settle down
to hard work. He has given np tbe idea of his
ministry, and has now accepted a positson as
physical instructor of the New York Young
Men's Christian Association, undoubtedly more
in keeping with his natural aptitude.
I saw a group passing over Palestine Park
to-day examining with great care tbe various
points of interest, "the lay of the land," the
rocks, tbe hills and rivers of the land nf thn
Israelites. A bright, bustling young American
of 3 or 4 years was looking with wide-open,
curious eyes at one of the little models of the
ancient villages. Pretty soon he made a leap
and -w;ent clear over one of them. Rushing up
to his father, he said: "What a great boy I
am. I stepped right over the whole town."
BOUND ABOUT THE LAKE.
Lakewood, gay and beautiful Lakewood,
never saw a season the like of this one. Here
most prosperous years have had no approach to
the crowds that wiUhave gathered here by the
middle of August. Then tbe military, the
Cleveland Grays from Ohio, will be encamped
nere, ana society win oe in its giddiest whirl.
At least 1,000 guests aro at this one point and
in a fortnight the number will be 2,000. The
yachts and sail boats flit to and from every point
with parties from the Saratoga ot Lake Chau
tauqua, who free from cares are drinking to its
depth the cup of joys and pleasures innumer
able. To Iiave out Greenhurst from the points on
this silvery sheet ot water with its fair Indian
name, would be like a royal court without its
fairest lady. Of this place it can be fairly said,
if Lakewood is the "Saratoga," it is the '"New
port," but I would not choose such a name, for
it has something so distinctively fine about it
and its surroundings that it need3 no appella
tion from another watering place to win its
already great popularity, not only with Its own.
but tbe guests at other places. If is naturally
the prettiest point on the lake, for nature's
beauty bas been caref ullv tireserved and addnrl
to by the finest touches of skillful landscape r
artisu. A i yuiitj sweii yes, aeciaeaiy swell, !
ana nas me uniy wuue service, direct iromthu
New York cafes, on the lake. Their dinners
' given every afternoon are the rage of the sea
son, and guests from all over the lake come to
partake of these sumptuous feasts. Mrs. Fen
ton, wife of the late ex-Governor, recently gave
one of the brightest parties of the season here,
and her example is being followed by many
others high in social circles.

IXFKCTAI. TEUEORAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1
Bbioantine Beach, N. J., Jnly19.
Brlgantine Beach comes to tbe front as a new
Mecca toward which the devotees of pleasure
and comfort are turning their footsteps. The
Holdzkom House having come under the man
agement of old Plttsburgers, Frazier & Jami
son, their friends are flocking to this resort,
and the place once so dearly cherished by a
good many Pittsburg "fishermen" as a
haven of refuge from tbe gentler sex
has been invaded by tbe enemy,
and the ancient beachside bostelrie wherein
these lone fishermen were wont to sit of an
evening to mend their nets, listen to the pleas
ant gurgle in'tbe neck of their bait box and
concoct those wonderful "flsb" stories given to
the world later in tbe season, has given place to
modern and comfortable improvement. Tbe
glories of the "Buck" bath have departed and
,1a the stead of this "splendid disentangle"
from the meshes of the bait box mentioned, the
more sober and sedate bathing suit is seen.
Tbe women have come there to stay, the fish
ing and bathing cannot be excelled anywhere
and they have decided that their "loves" must
move off this particular piece of earth or share
it with them.
There are a number of Pittsburg people here,
the latest arrivals being Robert U. MacGoni

rwnrrriN toe tub dispatch. 1
He sat beside tbe office desk.
With haggard cheek and mournful eye.
And watched, in silent mood and sad.
The wanderings of an errant fly.
He wrote not, yet his fingers held
A pen which erst in ink he soaked;
Nor took tho proffered gay cigar.
Nor smiled when others round him joked.
Shrill cries of "copy" rent the air;
Tbe scissors clicked, tbe paste brush flopped;
The office work went madly on
He, only he, seemed stunned and stopped.
I marveled much what somber task
His troubled brain was burdened with
Obituaries, tariff views!
"Oh, that's our funny man," said Smith.
