The Race Question At Asbury Park

Asbury Park, NJ July 14 - The colored people here are not as indignant as was 
supposed 
over the action of James A. Bradley in arranging a separate bathing ground for 
them. The 
members of the Afro-American League, who were active in the movement to hold a 
meeting tonight, in which Mr. Bradley was to be strongly denounced, found but 
little 
sympathy, and the whole thing ended in a fizzle.

This evening the colored people denounced the hot-headed persons who talked of 
holding the indignation meeting. After conferring together, the leaders of the 
colored 
people decided that Mr. Bradley's action was justified by the circumstances, 
and there 
will be no trouble here over the race question.
