OCEAN GROVE(For list of hoteU, see pa^es 30-^3. For fares, see pages 34-37.) 12 -^ Ocean Grove is ruled by the Ocean Grove Camp-MeetingAssociation. While some of its regulations seem strict in theseUberal days, the growth and prosperity of the place bear testi-mony to the foresight of its founders when framing and carryingout municipal regulations. During the camp-meeting days the city is crowded withtransient visitors and religious representatives from all parts ofthe land. Many national conventions of religious, scientific,and educational associations are held here during the summermonths. These have materially served to increase the reputa-tions of both Ocean Grove and Asbury Park as refined andcultured resorts. Asbury Park, the next-door neighbor, is joined to OceanGrove on its land side by ornamental iron bridges spanning theintervening lake, and by the beach promenade on the sea front. BRADLEY BEACH, N. J
