PISHING, SAILING, GUNNING, and the kindred sports in both still and rough waters. Large fleet of public yachts. BATHINp. A highly valued feature of many of the hotels are the hot and cold sea water baths, both public and private. Cape May Possesses the Finest Sea Bathing in the World, liecause its beach is smooth, with a gradual descent into the water. There are no

holes or gulleys, and no life lines are* required.

DRIVING.‘ RIDING. ETC. Miles of Beautiful Streets and Avenues. Good roads through the adjacent country. GOLFl The links of the Cape May Golf Club, among the finest in the United Slates, are ojwn all Summer. Frequent tournaments. THE COTTAGE COLONY is a distinguished feature, made up of residents of the leading cities of the Union. It is a SHORE RESORT with all the advantages of the Countby Place, because it is the only resort on the Coast on the main lnp«t and not on a sanded island, and along its avenues are trees with verdant foliage. THE MARKETS are the best, with fresh vegetables gathered fr«m fajms in the adjoining country.
