Clauser goes the Imnor of catching the first Cape May goody ol the season, and Mr. D. Williams of Baltimore, a cottager here, has the record for the most king fish. Ttie excun..on train of last Sunday brought a lot of enthusiast* from the city, and all day the end of the pier was crowded, and while only a few of them were (ortnnate U> make a catch, they were not disappointed, as the lack of taking home a string of fish is only a fish
