WASHINGTON.

Congress Hall Opens Gaily—

Large Arrivals—Worshipping At the Shrine of Tespsichore— What the Registers Show. The Cape May season for 1890 bowed

itself in most gracefully and graciously on Saturday, under brighter auspices,

perhaps, than for some years. This long famous resort has briskly tread its way up to the threshold of we believe to be the full blossoming of a

really grand and successful season. The Stockton and Congress, the two great hotel names which for years have rung in the seasons proper for old Cape May, threw open wide their portals, and lobbies, parlors and corridors soon swarmed with animate humanity, as each train deposited its load of joyous hearts, glad to reach the refreshing and invigorating breezes that came across the grassy lawns from off old ocean's bosom. The special train bearing the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's guests from among the best journalists of several leading cites, including principally Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia, arrived at 4 o'clock P. M. The entire party of ladles and gentlemen numbered nearly three hundred, and were under the care of Assistant General Passenger Agent George W. Boyd and F. N. Barksdale, also of the Passenger Department. After toilet making and a rest from the weariness incident to travel, an elaborate menu was served in the Stockton's superior style. The evening was given to unbounded sociability, the extending and receiving numerous courtesies born of journalistic, as wall as social etiquette while In tbs dancing ball many handsome and beautifully dressed ladies and gallant gentlemen in full dress, paid court to the “ poetry of motion ” as awakened by the lovely strains of Faeder's talented orchestra. The festivities spread out to the restaurant and lunch rooms, and champagne lunches were the go, the great railroad company whose generosity and courtesies to the newspaper fraternity have become proverbial, coming in for a large expression of appreciation. Yesterday the entire company were extended by Misses. James and Steffner, of the Hotel Lafayette, the exclusive privileges of the ocean iron pier. In a quiet, but thoroughly enjoyable manner the Sabbath was spent. To-day a trip to the inlet, where yachts will take out all who wish to sail or fish, will be the principal feature of their amusement. The temperature of the sea is so decidedly pleasant that many have indulged in the surf bath with much delight and benefit. To-morrow morning, at 10 o'clock, they will reluctantly leave the scenes giving them so much enjoyment and begin the return journey. It has been our pleasure to welcome many of brethren of the press personally, and this morning we to all extend a hearty greeting. The DAILY STAR bids all welcome to Cape May most heartily, and trait our brethren will carry away with them impressions broad and wholesome. But here we must name all who came to the Stockton at this time :
