. Asbury Park & Ocean Grove. e water-works have (contrary to general expectation) been self-sustaining from the first and couldnot be bought to-day for double their actual cost.

ASBURV PARK AXD ITS POIXTS OF IXTEREST. ASBURV PARKS HKALTHFULNESS. It easy enough to claim that a place is heallhful, but it is by no means so easy toprove the claim, even when it is fully justified by the facts, for proof involves the use of figures, andalthough figures dont lie, it is notorious that ihey can be so manipulated b\- experts as to seem toprove almost anything. Of Asbury Park we say: It has a delightful climate ; the drainage is perfect;. THIRD the water and the air are pure ; the summer nights are cool and restful : the winter is milder here than atother places in the same latitude ; the pine-scented breezes from inland and the bracing winds from thesea are restorative and soothing; there is no swamp-land, no cold, wet soil and no malaria—for these andfor other reasons Asbury Park is one of the most healthful as well as oiie of the most beautiful places onthe continent.

Last year (1891) the results were as follows : Rate per 1,000 among resident population Kate per 1,000 among non-resident population .93 Or
