Asbury Park & Ocean Grove. ship and that thronged thestreets of the town throughout the(lav and evening, there was not asingle case of disorder reported, norany occasion given for the arrest ofany person for misconduct.

There was but one soli-tary policeman in uniform, and two or three in citizens dress, and their duties were mainlyconfined to the giving of information when it was sought by strangers. We have dwelt especially upon the characteristics of Ocean Grove as a religious centre, forthese are what chiefly distinguish it from otifer summer-resorts, but there are other character-istics which it possesses in common with them, or at least with the best of them, such, ? forinstance, as beautiful scenery, pure air, unlimited opportunities for healthful surf-bathing, freshand salt water fishing, boating, yachting, driving, walking, bycicling, sociability, THE BEACH AT LOW TIDE. Week days are lively enough, wliat with boating and fishing in the beautiful lakes or in theocean, promenading along the celebrated plank-walks or engaging in some of the many other popu-lar recreations here available; and if any of our readers look upon Ocean Grove as a deadplace they are sadly in error, for a livelier or more enjoyable resort for those who hold decentideas concerning aniusemenls can hardly be found anywhere. There is quite a large permanentpopulation and there are several strictly first-class hotels here, besides many lower in grade andcorrespondingly lower in price, and many excellent boarding-houses, and the summer pop-ulation is fairly representative of the republic, every State in the -Union being more or lesslargely represented.
