No Kodaks There.—Says an Asbury Park special of July 27th: Founder Bradley, of Asbury Park, has issued an edict against the use of kodaks on the beach at that place. Orders have been given the police to arrest on sight every active snapshotter caught in action. If they press the button the police will do the rest.
 
The action has been applauded with shrieks of joy by the ladies. As a matter of fact, the detective-camera business was becoming a regular nuisance. Many estimable young women gave up bathing in the surf for fear their lower limbs would adorn somebody's photograph album. Frivolous young men began to grow offensively personal. Armed with the knowledge the kodak gave them, they would discuss the pleasant features of Asbury Park in a most improper manner.
 
Until Bradley issued his decree against the kodak true love on the beach used to be snapshotted to the especial annoyance of the contracting parties and the extreme diversion of their friends.
 
It is believed that Mr. Bradley has taken action against the kodaks in order to propitiate the women who howled at him for forcing them to wear stockings in the water. Several of them wanted to know whether he wouldn't require them to wear high-buttoned shoes, and one haughty belle even said in a fine spirit of sarcasm that she supposed the mayor would next order ladies to bathe in sealskin sacques and ear-muffs.
